Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’ 2024 running mate, has suggested he may run for president in 2028.

Reflecting on the Democrats’ loss to Donald Trump and JD Vance, he admitted: “A large number of people did not believe we were fighting for them in the last election – and that’s the big disconnect.”

Walz said his life experience, rather than ambition, would guide his decision.

Though his VP campaign was marred by gaffes, he remains open to running if he feels prepared.

Hopefully this time they don't muzzle him. Tim's a great example of dem policies working,

We know that female candidates with male VP's named Tim don't win against Republicans. Hillary and Kamala proved that. But this is wholly different, so its possible, concievable...

female candidates with male VP’s named Tim

Man, I had to look up who Hillary's veep candidate was. Feels like that election was about 60 years ago.

Personally, I'm hoping Zelensky will run for US president after strong Dien in Ukraine. You might be thinking that someone from another country can't be president. Well.... looks at current situation in White House At least this one would be elected.

I think we need to go with the Zelensky model (comedian-turned-politician) rather than Zelensky proper. My money's on Jon Stewart and/or Bill Burr.

Would have wanted him as president nominee either way, hope he gets it. The name Tim Walz is a name that needs to go down in history with the title "saviour of the US" or smth like that

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

That's a lot of pressure to put on one man...

Oh yes, please, older people, maybe I'll have my late great grandma run a campaign for the democrats from her grave.

Edit: not that I prefer a republican after trump. I'm certainly not far right. But I'm tired of seeing running leaders being this old. Can you americans get AOC to run for once?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

No sooner than he mentions that he might run to the right wing attacks on his age begin.

I'd like someone younger too but let's take the candidates we can eh? Dude's compassionate and far left for a dam at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

The candidates we can? Surely Democrats can find a single candidate that is under 50.

And I'm sure he'll choose a young running mate (AOC maybe? Though I'd hate to see her leave Congress for such a powerless position).

Age isnt always an indicator on how people are mentally, and if they are a backwards prick

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

wha? I thought it was known that walz was actually pretty young (60) compared to how he looks lol. Definitely on the older side of average age for president looking at the stats, but he's 2 years younger than jon stewart and even gavin newsom is 57.

"Run for president in 2028" XD That ship has sailed. I don't think they will have any more elections.
