Love Tim Walz!
Love Tim Walz!
Yeah that mus be the reason why he ran on "They are so weird!1" instead of "They are fascist crooks and we need to hold them ACCOUNTABLE!"
Perfect is the enemy of the good.
No it's because after Biden de-facto pardon all the Jan ringleaders, accountability was not a leg they could stand on. Thread: bsky.app/profile/idio...
Sure but I worry that "these are fascist policies" fails in the same way that "anyone but Trump" failed. I don't think many voters know why Trump's policies are bad. They need to be explained, sad though it might be to realize it.
I think this is a good starting point and it’s better than what other Dems are doing. “These policies are a distraction” doesn’t explain why the policies are bad either, but the distraction stuff makes us sound dumb. I like that Walz is explicitly calling them fascist policies. Make them toxic.
Yes, the distraction stuff is really dumb. All of Trump's presidency is a distraction from good governance.
You are ignoring my point. What if calling them "fascist" is not perceived as toxic by swing voters? They might interpret "fascist" as "bad" but they expect Dems to call GOP policies bad so it adds nothing to their understanding. It also doesn't state any better policy.
I don’t disagree with you but all good messaging starts with the base and works its way out. I think this demonstrates huge progress in that Walz isn’t afraid to tell it like it is. And I think the full video does articulate more of a policy vision - make the rich pay, stand up for rights, etc.
I didn't watch the video. I was merely responding to the "Yay, let's call it fascism. That's really going to help." idea. I do hope that Walz understands where Harris/Walz failed.
I hear you. At the end of the day, it’s a hype speech at a Democratic governors’ meeting that I think does the best job of anyone in 2025 laying out the case against Trump. I’ve always thought Walz had good instincts aside from folding to consult speak after the convention.
Hoping (but not holding my breath) that this will lead to more Dems talking about how it’s fascism and presenting the specific reasons why, whether when confronted with the Walz quote on the talk shows or just on their own.
The reasons why it's fascism and an alternative solution or how it is supposed to be done.
Couldn’t agree more.
"Fascist Policies"? Like Biden, too cowardly and afraid to call him a fascist. Let alone a nazi. Weak.
So weak. Blue maga still reluctant to use the words fascist and Trump in the same sentence, let alone nazi.
Duh
We coulda had him 🫠
They don't care about the Constitution or America. We shouldn't give a fuck about their feelings.
Good trouble Tim!
Germany here. Yes, they are.
Wish he’d had this fire in the debate.
Yeah, I don't know what the hell happened there. He seemed to have just petered out from the campaign trail.
I’m hearing from people that he was instructed to go light.
That saddens me. We fell in love with his honesty & it should have been left at that!
He’s a great person.
No wonder Minnesota loves him so much!😊
He was given bad advice.
Yeah, seriously bad advice. That's a shame.
People would say he was too rude and extreme and that's why Kamala lost.
It was a fine line to walk, I’m sure.
I think the GOP stole the election for their candidate and it wouldn't have mattered if Jesus and JFK were on the ticket.
MAGA would have called Jesus anti-semetic and woke, and would have accused JFK of infidelity and blamed him for the sinking of PT-109.
Nope. Dems get criticized ROUTINELY for ‘not talking plain talk’ to normal ppl. Tim was 100% fine. They also are said to have won (by a lot…?!).
For the record, I like Tim Walz. I just wish that debate had gone differently, whoever was responsible.
Yeah, I like him too. He would have been a great VP.
He sure would have. Decent guy.
The fault of most Dem politicians this last decade in particular, is they fail to really know who they were up against. You can’t play a gentleman’s game w/FOTUS or ANY R right now. Tim W was/is great, & he knew how to play it but was restrained by his ppl.
Yes, in the debate. But I went to a few rallies of his, and it was this kind of energy. My bigger concern is that Ken Martin does something. Where is Ben Wikler? He could still be helping.
He did. The DNC told him to put a lid on it.
Ah, I didn’t know that.
I’m not going to say a know that but I’ve heard a few different insiders say it now. My understanding is they were both being guided to pitch more to the middle rather than follow their own political instincts. Based on everything we’re seeing now, I don’t question those claims.
It makes sense. What a bad line to take.
Sadly, we’ve been the party of “playing it safe” for too long.
The party lost to a man who said “they’re eating the dogs” and Dem consultants are still telling them to ignore their instincts. We’re doomed to sink into complete authoritarianism. We’re going to be just like China & Russia.
Scary, scary times. But you have to assume that, if people were willing to accept such nonsensical shit out of Trump and Vance, no amount of so-called better messaging would’ve worked. Racism and misogyny were in play here.
which is why trying to appeal to the center-right is doomed. the best move is to fire up your base. the right has figured that out, and we need to as well.
I remember how Obama, whom I voted for twice, ignored the base. I and many others suspected Hillary would do the same. What we need now is principled courage that’s not afraid to take risk to save our Constitution and our freedoms.
I wonder how long before the troops roll into Minnesota.
No
This is always their problem, and why we haven't seen an establishment win in forever (biden was more antitrumpism than popular). The DNC always chooses to try and convert the tribalists with small chance of turning over energizing their own, larger base to show up.
Ah, the damn centrists were at it again.
I don't even need insider leaks. Their actions show that the DNC cowards are controlling the candidates now. I personally think they are Republican moles. They are just as fascist as Trump, within their own party. Their rigid adherence to a *CONSPICUOUSLY FAILING STRATEGY* is an undeniable proof.
Just stop with this. They don’t have the numbers. 90 million people chose not to vote. Stop dissing the Dems. You’re only helping Republicans.
When you hear folks saying Dems are just as bad you know the Oligarchs are sqeeling like hyenas. The difference is between democracy and fascism. That’s a significant difference. You have a choice.
I never said that the Dems are as bad as MAGATS. Perhaps you should learn how to read. I said that Trump is killing minorities because of the massive failures of Democratic leadership. If you believe they are good and support letting them continue as they have been, they will get you killed.
...And twisting people's words is a MAGAT tactic... Are you a MAGAT Mole?
In your view. I disagree. Prove your point instead of telling me to shut up. I personally think those 90M people who didn't show up either did, and had their vote cancelled by Musk. (The DNC never asked for a single recount...🤔) Or they didn't because of how the DNC, Schumer, Shill, (cont)
Most of my millenial ex-students refused to vote/voted 3rd party & are Susan Sarandon proud of putting the demon in office cuz it in-your-faced Kamala. And they're very vocal about it. One posted a pic of her THE DAY BEFORE THE ELECTION with the caption that said, "All I have to offer is genocide."
Fuck Susan Sarandon and fuck them. They brought genocide here.
Another source. Single-issue voters. Everyone has forgotten about those. Maybe if the Democratic leadership had more ingenuity instead of dogma... 🤷♂️ Single-issue is BS. There IS no perfect candidate and there never will be. I hope those "genocide" Republicans are happy with Trump's policies.
Pelosi (et al) forced Biden out of the race over ONE bad debate. Prove that can't be true.
It was a bad debate because Biden was too polite to say "What the hell are you talking about?!?" It was written all over his face. Or maybe it was "What the Fuck?!?" Or Biden might have thought "Are you out of your fuking mind?!?" But he wouldn't say those things. It blocked him up self-censoring.
He also had a cold and was jet-lagged. But what you say is Biden's biggest disappointment for me. His "I should take you behind the woodshed" comment turned out to be the opposite of his tactics.
58M people didn't vote. 44M of those were not registered and couldn't have voted. Check my pinned post for more details. I think plain old voter suppression work. Maybe with some purging of voter rolls. That could have been Elon. Trump won by 1.25%, I think without having to look it up.
That sounds right, and about what I saw when I was tracking the vote count for a week after the election. Voter suppression was absolutely an influence, but I still think that how Biden was handled, the attacks on him from his own party, and not enough campaign time for Kamala hurt, too.
I came up with those numbers because media kept saying 1/3 of the voters didn't show up. And that we had 235M eligible voters. I wanted to know how many or those eligible voters were registered? If you're not registered, you can't vote. And you can't recount votes that were thrown out or turned away
Voter suppression, bomb threats in largely Democratic polling places and 100 days to prove yourself. If you are woman you need 178 days.
And a minority woman on top of that. Combined with the hesitance of the party to stand behind her, she really did better than I would expect in that short a time.
Absolutely, need as big a tent as we can get, an absolute huge tent. Dissing anyone in it is counterproductive.
Amen.
The label of the Demo party has always been "big tent". You're mixing up the DNC with the individual parties of the states. The National committee has one function. To get a president elected. It's up to the states & the state parties to support the candidates for congressional seats.
You're right. I'm using the term DNC loosely, although they personify why we are losing. I don't care if you call Liberals "Democrats" or "Progressives" or "Patriots". It their values and morals that matter. People who back bad morals and worse strategies because it uses the name "Democrat"
are just mindless clones. We are where we are because of the failure of out leadership. NO ONE can deny that.
Correct. Always demanding a dem fall on the sword is not how we get out of this fine mess. Getting 90,000,000 voters to the polls and Epstein and fascism 2025 elections come first and he is going to pull hijinks there too with governor races. focus there. GOTV 🗳️Vote, now more than ever.
Hey, Dude... I don't know where you've been, but the current Democratic Leadership *CREATED THIS FUCKING SITUTION*. Whose responsibility is it to motivate voters? THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP. If 90M voters didn't show up, it's because THEY WEREN'T MOTIVATED! (cont)
They weren’t motivated because they were tuned out, and it was their fault. The threat was real and obvious. They didn’t vote against a guy who’d launched a coup and stolen documents. You think they were a bunch of policy wonks waiting for some cogent arguments that weren’t presented?
BACKING A DEAD HORSE THAT HAS A PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF LOOSING WILL JUST HELP US LOSE AGAIN!
What dead horse? The Dems are the only ones positioned to counter Republicans. Any bitching about how they’re supposedly “fascists” is just both sides bullshit. It dissuades people from participating in elections. Stop.
And typing in cap lock just means you are snorting more cocaine, bear.
bruh...I'm not your dude. Nothing makes voters more apathetic than a bear who is shrieking like it has just snorted too much cocaine.
You’re killing me. 🤣
No. Wrong. 154M votes were cast 168M voters were registered 14M votes were either not cast or not counted That leaves 44M eligible voters who were not registered or purged from voting roles. 58M didn't vote but 44M could not vote anyway. Voter suppression works. Greg Palast has another view.
This is so social media. Says something false. Then mealy mouths well, that didn't really happen, but I like bad mouthing my own party because it makes me feel better. Awesome.
I give a reading course too. Feel free to sign up. You’re so social media.
Is it all fiction as well?
Well yeah, I’m a bot. I write fiction. Obviously.
Obviously!
I’m only as strong as my programming.
It was too much about joy - and too little about cause and effect. This is a besetting problem in the Dems.
He was the Vice Presidential candidate. He did what he was told. We always run to the middle. Most of America is in the middle. They're not paying attention. I wish cholesterol would hurry up.
Where did you get that information? Always give receipts.
The DNC can't get in the bin fast enough. Corrupt garbage.
They tried to duplicate Obama's campaign. Obama's campaign was great for Obama -not for Kamala. Biden was rejected by democrat donors. Kamala tried to show loyalty to Biden. She should have shown her own individual leadership. There is a difference between being loyal & subservient
No they didn’t. He was sassy throughout the campaign, start to finish. However, he was the VP candidate, and the spotlight was (rightfully) on Harris. I can’t believe this kind of bs misinformation fooled so many into protesting the election or voting independent.
They definitely canned the whole "these guys are weird" thing.
He was badly coached and then also held back
They muzzled him.
I’m hearing that.
And he said he’s not a good debater, that he’s a better teacher, and lecturer. Vance is a professionally polished closeted creepy lying pos. He’s had decades of practice. Ugh.
The DNC ruined him back then.
Did they?
www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
They wouldn’t let him
He's a train wreck
Why is he a train wreck?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. He blocked me.
Oh yeah. I'm DYING to hear this convoluted explanation. Bet you it's along the line of: "Something something Gazagazagaza something something should've done better."
I agree with you, however it wasn’t so blatantly out there then and the DNC was leading badly and he was probably told that he sounded paranoid and a lunatic theory conspiracist! Liking hearing it now! Perhaps he’s loading up for 2028?
It was blatantly out there. Project 2025 had been published and Vance had signed onto it. I like that he’s doing it now, too, but he was far too conciliatory in that debate.
True! Sometimes I think just bc I know/ hear of it I realize many have not, (that’s where that comment came from). Great point you made about 2025. that made it more important to bring it up in the debates. Like hammer it!
The VP debate was inconsequential compared to the🍊Traitor's hate-foghorn, starting with Barack's birth certificate, social media, trash rallies, and the 4-year re-election campaign that began with a Jan 6, 2021 insurrection. VP Harris absolutely PANTSED the 🍊Traitor in her 1 debate. Wypipo.
I agree. I think letting Vance off the hook for anything, though, didn’t help. In the end, you’re right. The election shouldn’t have been close, which tells you that issues didn’t decide it. Misogyny and racism were in play.
It is a measure of the degree of misogyny and racism in your country that a moron like trump could be elected twice. Also, trump isn’t the only moron.
...or at some point...
who is forcing this man to hold his fire at this point
Call it what it is!!
@governorwalz.mn.gov You need to attack more and/or start trolling #FOTUS like Newsome. I feel like you have this in you, and more attacks from Dem governors, Senators, etc., are the fight we want and need to see from our leaders. 💙👏✊
Been saying this for years.
Great speech! Protect your state, and it will protect all others. This is the process of a military coup!
TRUTH
Oooh, Say it!, Tim. I'd vote for you--again--today if I could. Please keep talking loud and clear. We hear you!
The truth is needed now anywhere we can get it. And yet, am I the only one that doesn’t really feel like this is hitting anything? We know they’re fascists, they know they’re fascists (and are proud of it). And? what now?
The same idiots who are calling troops in our streets a distraction forcefully muzzled Walz. This guy was gold and they put him on the shelf.
These are fascist people
Holding Tik-Tok hostage in legal limbo while demanding changes in ownership -- demanding a slice of Intel for free to take a role in ownership, direction -- HELL, dictating the formula for Coke from the Oval Office! Yeah, THAT'S FASCISM! #business #economy
Thank you, Govenor!
Fascist policies of a fascist dictatorship enabled by the fascist SCOTUS supermajority’s retroactive nullification of the Constitution which simultaneously nullifies the fed gov’s authority to govern, dissolving the Union. They cannot nullify the Declaration of Independence. #NQNQ247
Trouble from whom? MAGA/GOP fascist enablers??
Thank you. We must all speak out. Encourage your fellow Republicans to as well.
He’s right, and despite the denial from others, he WILL be proved right when the history books are written…
and who enacts fascist policies? Fascist people!
The consultants that forced him to “tone it down” during last years campaign should be shot into the sun and the ground they walked on salted. Huge unforced error!
💯🎯
Another of our bold Governors , thank you for continuing to speak truth to power
Love him!!
Way to go Tim.☺️
I love my governor! Minnesota proud.💙
Yeah - to me (a Californian) Walz is authentic, compassionate, inclusive, well-spoken, real, honest, and has integrity. I get a showy fighter who I'm glad is fighting, but I wouldn't vote for him for prez. I would vote for Walz, though! Walz gives me a safe feeling. Newsom? Nope.
You guys could've had him as VP. *still reeling from that comment Vance made yesterday about WW2 "negotiations" - fucking twat.
Sadly Tim Walz shouldn’t have to/nor should he put disclaimers around calling the GOP fascists. Call them for what and who they are and stop pussyfooting around it. When @democrats.org don’t say it like it is, they don’t sound tough and they don’t make fascism sound scary.
Go for it, Tim. And racist as well.
I love him so much
Add Walz to the list of Democrats hitting Trump.
A lot of Dems are hitting Trump. The problem is, you wouldn't know that from watching MSM, where the Dems have almost entirely disappeared.
A cavalcade of governors.
Accurate. Dems quit looking at consultant number crunching—this is fascism! If Americans can see it yet, don’t ignore it and talk about stuff they poll better on, talk about the most important stuff and figure out how to communicate the danger to the public.
I really wish large accounts like this would help us organize a (General) strike because that’s what needs to happen next.
Not in trouble with those of us who are fed up & screaming from the rooftops that something needs to be done! And we’re the ones who are coming out in 26’ & 28’ and will remember who used the new playbook & sat on the sidelines flipping through the old playbook.
ARREST TRUMP NOW ! ARREST THE SUPREME COURT NOW! ARREST THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THE HOUSE & SENATE NOW!! THEY HAVE PROVEN BEYOND ANY DOUBT TO BE TREASONOIUS TO THE CONSTITUTION & THE PEOPLE!! THIS IS WHAT MUST BE DONE NOW ! CALL YOUR REP, TELL THEM IT'S TIME TO GET THE MILITARY INVOLVED !!
He gets in trouble for telling the truth and that's why we're in this mess. Goodbye democrats. We won't miss you. Hello whatever Tim Walz is. Glad to meet you!
Not the natural order. The natural consequence of First Past the Post and the two Party system, which coupled with America's gerrymandering, create a ratchet and pinion towards the right. This isn't a function of democracy. America has just never had a democracy.
Sure the hell are!
@governorwalz.mn.gov is 💯 correct here…we have to confront trump’s authoritarianism all day every day
I can get behind him as a candidate! Walz/Cortez 2028!!!!
I’m so glad he is back. Was worried about his emotional healing after that horrible assassination.

Years ago I read that if you want to be a cowboy then you walk like a cowboy, you talk like a cowboy and you do the things a cowboy does. Using that logic - it’s obvious Trump clearly wants to be a fascist.
How long before the National Guard is in Saint Paul?
Plain speaking destroys obfuscators.
Why don't we put Walz on The Ticket? He's only 61 years old! He's not in his late 70s like Trump or Biden! He's got a fire in his belly! He's smart! He's determined. He's got a message and got a plan. He's for ALL the people not just the ones that he sees in the mirror. Why ain't Walz on The Ticket?
No need to preface it with disclaimers. It’s fascism. Anyone not calling it such shouldn’t be in a leadership position.
Yes anyone not got the stones to call it out needs to be replaced. They aren't leaders for this time.
Not any time, not leaders…. You are correct💙💥
Where was that fire when he debated Vance, and who were the consultants who told him to tone it down, and where are our assurances those consultants will never be on another candidate’s payroll ever again?
I was wondering where Tim was. I was worried that he was worried about losing more friends if he speaks out. Would be a legitimate fear with the current admin. But glad he is speaking up again. Godspeed Governor Walz ❤️🤍💙
Where the fuck has he been for the last six months?!
Walz 2028!
Thank you Gov. Walz. You embody great decency and humanity. Help gather and organize us to fight this fascist regime.
The people giving him trouble for it are the people sinking the country with their lack of vision.
🎯
Exactly, @governorwalz.mn.gov and you should mention that those who try to get you in trouble for saying "fascist" are those trying also to enable it. We have to take our party back from those who serve only capital interests and not their constituents.
Pro Dems have been dangling America over the fire for years now. They believe they're playing it so that we, and their nest eggs, both survive. The game is called Chicken. If Trumpf survives the midterms but won't leave in '28? Dems will have lost the game; huge. And we'll want their eggs back. ✌️💙
Let’s not sugar coat it, GOP has become a white nationalist gang.
That’s some good trouble
Duh.
We are already there.
If you want to understand what Trump does, just ask yourself, "What would a stereotypical mob boss from a 90s movie do if we, in the dumbest possible timeline, made him president?"
Good on Walz Trump has been a fascist for a long time It’s the cowardly media & many cowardly Dems that are too spineless to call them what they are Cause they’re too emotionally fragile to get criticized by the Republicans & #VichyMedia Republican apologists Which massively helped fascists
Words hurt. They hurt fascists. So do fists. Let's try bigger and better words first, before fists.
Who does he get in trouble with?
his own wiener party and their cadre of consultants
Child molester policies?
The temperature is rising.
THANK YOU GOVERNOR WALZ!!!
Now start trolling on Twitter
This is my favorite version of Tim Walz. We need leaders like this nationwide.
Preach It❗️❗️❗️❗️
We need more Tims Walzes, but thank god we got one.
Walz speaks the MFing truth. God bless him!!
youtu.be/sdAu3giUjto
YELL IT OUT LOUD..
stop listening to lame consultants who haven’t won an election in years. Carville and Rahm are just looking out for their own interests
You have to identify the beast to defeat it. The US needs to be grateful for waltz’s courage and clarity. Head and shoulders above most.
He’s wrong that hierarchy and authoritarianism are some kind of natural order. They are taught.
My mom was criticized for teaching my sister and I to disagree with her occasionally. Mom replied that you can't have democracy if people are not allowed to voice dissenting opinions
There's a Chinese saying: if you raise a dragon, expect to be singed. My mom said that people misinterpret it. The point isn't to avoid raising dragons altogether. We need a society with people who stand up for what is right. What they believe. It's just personally inconvenient for their moms 😉
My parents more unintentionally raised one, because their hope was for compliance, but then they demonstrated the virtues of being true to one's values and stubbornly so, and accidentally raised a contrarian (by their lights).
Chaos is quite literally the natural state of things. Maintaining order under authoritarianism is very unnatural.
He's right. Do any of the MSM report his words and look into why he says it?
😂😂😂 That’s a good one
literally endorsed Fascist Frey
We could have had this as our VP! 😭
Why in the hell couldn't we have this man for Vice President?....oooohhh😢😖😖💔
I prefer Unleashed Walz over what we got last year. LFG!
What did Senator Omar Fateh do to not get endorsed? Why is there no support for the future?
bsky.app/profile/iwil...
This happened months ago.
Yes, it did.
I think it is time to review our current grievances. www.archives.gov/founding-doc...
The people objecting are not paying attention, or have an interest in having a fascist order.
That he even has to pre-empt and apologize to these people is so much of the problem.
Apologizing like that is a Minnesota thing. I've had to break myself of the habit, a good boss I had helped me and knew others that did that from MN. That said, you're also not wrong.
Dictators don’t die, They multiply! Like roaches
I’d vote for you again in a second @governorwalz.mn.gov !
Name it and shame it @governorwalz.mn.gov ! Thank you for you integrity, honor, courage and persistence. We need you in this fight against the tyrannical traitor toddler. Godspeed.

We coulda had this man and Kamala. Instead too many didn’t vote or voted for hatred.
Don't know who they believe made up you can't call a fascist a fascist or someone is like Hitler, I calls em likes I sees em
Use the 2nd amendment
It’s not good when a state’s Governor worries about telling the truth.
It is what it is! He’s not afraid of the mob boss.
Get in trouble by whom? The centrists? We've been saying it since Jan 2017. The chant as we marched in the Women's March. No trump No Pence No fascist USA
I can’t believe the people who didn’t vote for this. They chose Vance instead. 🤯
Yes both can be done *cough* Gov. Newsom @governor.ca.gov *cough*
Never apologize for speaking the truth!!! The days of the Democrats being meek must be over.
Nazi corruption of Germany caused WW2. This movie #DontBeASucker was filmed by the US Army to educate and protect US citizens from those same tactics here at home. Now, in 2025 we have POTUS, Speaker, AG & their minions manipulating us with Nazi tactics #ProtectTheConstitution🇺🇸 youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4
Great watch! Thx for sharing it!
There are no distractions, only openings and opportunities. Attack on every front.
Who the fuck still thinks this clown is relevant?…😂😂
Keep saying it Governor. @governorwalz.mn.gov It needs to be said for everyone to hear, All of it is FASCISM. that’s what needs to be said, who cares if they don’t want to hear the word, that’s what we are living through right now.
I miss intelligent adults with humanity leading our government
That’s right! Please defend Democracy! Get in good trouble and call out these Fascist regime! Thank you Gov Walz!
Been calling them “proto-fascist” since 2016. Herewith, I’m dropping the “proto-” part.
Nice to see someone with a pulse unlike Jeffries or Schumer or any of the other boobs Now we need this from our media. Need better stronger voices besides gasbags like Elie Mystal, Will Bunch and that phony Jamelle Bouie. They ain't helping either.
It waters it down when he says he’ll get in trouble for saying stuff like this. Not sure why he even has to acknowledge that, just let it rip bro.
Here comes Joe Rogan running to defend Trump and lie about Walz. Smh
We could’ve had Kamala and Tim! We got Shitznpantz and a Couch Fucker!
What an amazing VP Walz would've been.
It’s fascism. It’s authoritarianism. It’s racism. It’s xenophobia. It’s bigotry. It’s racism. It’s misogyny. It’s oligarchy. It’s criminal. It’s un-Constitutional. It’s cruel. It’s lawless. It’s militaristic. It’s a kakistocracy. It’s void of honor, integrity, or decency. It’s Republican.
Muzzling this guy is going to go down as one of the bigger stones the DNC laid in deliberately paving the way for fascism here
🎯
Keep calling it what it is💥
he is a good man
The status quo ante enables Trump regime.
One Million Rising
EXACTLY ! & Release the FILES! R 💙 ✌️
Tim, whoever you get in trouble with, tell them to fuck all the way off (elitist Democrat consultants)
Governor Walz is the real deal.
WALZFORPRES2028 - why on earth the DNC switched him off last year I'll never understand. He was polling better than Harris, Trump and Vance. Wind this guy up along with Pritzker, Murphy, AOC, Bernie, Mamdani...they all understand the assignment while DNC sits on their hands.
An unchanged Walz would be hilarious, besides school shooters who knows what other friends he will say he has
More of this every damn day
Get in trouble with who?
Carville. He made him stop calling MAGA weird. He’s doing this now. Carville is a spineless old fuck that needs to crawl away and let the people that aren’t about to be 6 feet under to run this thing.
He called Republicans weird. There no such thing as maga. It’s not an entity or organization and certainly not a political party. Calling Republicans maga just helps Republicans avoid accountability for their actions.
The focus-group consultants.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Sighhhh…
UnAmerican. Most in US have no idea what fascism is.
He should have been our VP. How wonderful and peaceful that could have been
Time to prepare to use the T word, @governorwalz.mn.gov. Treason.
To not call anything other than what it is, that's denial!! Time to come out of that phase of grief and into the acceptance stage so we can fight this without fear...
Keep calling them out!
I love time Walz
Unfortunately, I don't think we're united against this. It would be awesome if we were.
Why aren’t we talking about Walz for future President?
He had the chance a while back, but party apparatchiks chose to convince him to drop his signature effective critique (GOP are weird) in order to seek common ground with a couch fucker.
This is false. But keep trashing his party! That'll help in the next election!!! Thanks!!!
It’s not “trashing the party” to call out the bad choices consultants made that reduced our chances of winning the election. Harris was winning when her and Walz called the GOP weird and started losing when they pivoted to being nice to Vance and calling Trump a unique threat to democracy.
Like, how do you expect to win the next election if you dismiss anyone suggesting we made mistakes in the last one as someone working to help the GOP get elected?
Make those "suggestions" when we're in power.
Oh wow, we should wait to make suggestions about how to win an election until the next time we win an election? Aren’t you a strategic mastermind!
You aren't making suggestions on how to win, you're just bad mouthing the party that, in theory, you want to win. I have my doubts about which party you want in power though.
Stop accusing anyone who says anything negative about the choices made by Democratic consultants of being a Republican. It’s embarrassing.
Maybe if you read to the top of the thread you’ll remember the concrete argument the person was making. No, I desperately want Democrats in power, and it’s because of that fact that I think it’s worth it to question the choices they made in 2024, an election they lost badly.
You're honestly delusional if you think that bashing them all the time helps them win. It's fucking crazy talk. 🤯
What do you think lowers our chances of winning more, the campaigns making bad strategic decisions, or people on bluesky discussing those bad strategic decisions after the fact?
I’m not going to be a cheerleader for a party that has routinely failed and not listened to it’s constituents - which is why they are ranked lower in trust than the GOP, by the entire country itself. You want to keep losing? Keep this up, it’s a guaranteed losing strategy.
You WANT to keep losing. You want to claim to be morally superior while kids are getting kidnapped off the street here in America. It's your whole identity!
lol. Ok, dude. You got it. How’d you guess. Pucker up buttercup. This ain’t a sports team.
Keep bootlicking for the centrists and old consultants that still rely on the Bill Clinton playbook! That’ll help in the next election! Thanks!
Um…the critique here is that Walz/Harris started with terrific press and enthusiasm and then pivoted to appease the very centrists you claim to deplore.
I wasn’t responding to you, I was responding to the person who was upset you were trashing the party that told Walz to stop saying stuff like “weird”. And yes, I despise centrists. They got us here. They need to just say they are Reagan republicans and leave the Dem party alone.
We can agree that's a crappy part of Bluesky! I despise anyone who continues to simp for Trump under the guise of "I'm too moral to vote for Democrats." So we're even. And progressives got us here.
👆👆
It's pretty depressing when Dem accounts get into blaming the victim, isn't it? I watched all the rallies and interviews and thought both Harris and Walz impressively told it like it was. But, yeah, let's blame our party instead of the electorate, the GOP, Elon Musk. or Moscow. 🤦🏼♀️
I know. I hate it. It's so counterproductive and pervasive.
Yes Waltz started by telling it as it was, but in his most important venue, the VP debates he pretended there was common ground between windmill advocates and racist sex-trafficking fascist Rapturists. Someone remind me how all that turned out? Crazy me: evaluating based on performance/results!
Me too I didn’t think he was muzzled at all. I thought he told it like it is throughout the election. She was the one who lost the election. Not him. And there were many factors having to do with electing her than just being a good candidate. Woman of color just to name one.
I don't necessarily believe she lost the election.
You’re so right (without bothering to back up your blanket assertion)! He did a FANTASTIC job and should be the AUTOMATIC front-runner if there’s ever a national election again!
Yeah! How dare Americans critique politicians and express their opinions!? Boooooo!
You can critique when we're in power. Right now it's just doing Maga's work for them. For free!
The GOP weird narrative isn't the flex you think it is, it didn't resonate at all with independents/moderates.
Had? BS. He is here now. He's standing up! Chances are never over. He's HERE NOW!
I don’t know how to tell you this but he has no prospect of serving at the Federal level for the next 26 months.
Tell it! Thank you Gov. Walz!
Good thing we got J.D. Vance over this guy amirite?
Did someone buy Very Serious Democrats a clue?
You go Governor Tim. Don’t forget to tell them how weird they are
I mean, he's not wrong.
And now you know what dictatorship feels like.
I wish he'd reconsider 2028 😭
🙌🏼🙏🏼💫
Could have been our VP. Instead we have a man playing tariff roulette wanting houses to be heated by coal again🙃
Every one of these Dem consultants need to be let go for the errors in their advice to clip the passion of both Tim and Kamala which is costing this country mightily
The father of fascism himself said that fascism is the union of government and corporation. That’s precisely what Donald Dump and his oligarchs are.
Actually he should say these are fascists. Tim is being too kind - like much of the democratic establishment.
It would have helped if he would have said it to Vance’s face during the debate rather than trying to be his best friend 😡
Just good trouble @governorwalz.mn.gov .
trump idiots don't know what fascist is. Even found some trump made believe antifa was a bad protester group. Maybe find a word they understand. One that covers fascism, easy to remember and ultra disgusting so they'll not want to be part of. Bullshitter, punk, festering scab. Anything gross.
👊👊🏼👊🏽👊🏾👊🏿🇺🇲🔥 💙💜💓
I like it when Walz gets fired up. 💙
I want THIS GUY
Or JB Pritzker.
I’d accept him but he loses points for being a billionaire, so I’d rather have Walz, but really any democrat will do
Any Democrat won't do. We need a candidate who appeals to people and gives the 40% who don't vote not only a reason but a desire to go vote. Being good on paper isn't enough.
Those "40%" didn't care about facism & vite/not vote against their greater good. We need safe & fair elections.
Who’s he getting in trouble with?
Good. Now add racist and terrorist to your word repertoire
Gets in trouble from other Democrats, such as the Democratic leadership.
He is one individual to stand behind once Gavin's done blowing Trump's gaskets
America still does not want to hear it? My god.
Walz is correct.
Would have loved this guy as VP
Will love this guy for POTUS. Or Pritzger And the Gov of Kentucky has broad appeal.
He would have been such a better VP and “Just Dance Vance”
It's not just fascism. It is literal treason against the United States. Trump using the military to enforce his domestic agenda is an ACT OF WAR against the United States. That is TREASON and needs to be called out by its proper name. Trump needs to be prosecuted, convicted, and executed.
Wow he's on fire right now
Fascist policies being carried out by fascists - MAGA is a fascist party
Any aspiring dem politicians have to see that this moment is a HUGE opportunity for them. The old “leaders” of the DNC have clearly failed and voters are done. Yeah, fascism itself needs to be defeated first, but man, what a life and career the dems who figure out how to lead that effort will have.
Should've been said during the entire 2024 campaign. But better late than never. I fear we may have already crossed the line into fascism.
He's what we need in 2028. If he can keep the consultants at arm's length. Or in the next room. Or three counties over.
He’s said clearly he’s not running for POTUS in 2028.
I hadn't seen that, but it's a shame. He's bringing exactly the energy and fight that Democrats need. A little plain-spoken homespun progressive popularism would do us well.
Now see this would be a hilarious 90s political comedy - presidential candidate slipping the consultants and PR people for the whole campaign
I feel like a cross between the wackiness of Dave and, like, Catch Me If You Can... we need that smoke.
Trump did it. 🤷♂️
"Uh oh! I looks like that dastardly PR team has Walz holed up in his office! How is the wiley Walz going to get out of this jam? Tune in for next week's episode of 'Consult Me if you Can'!"
😂
He is brilliant! Go Tim! Slava🇺🇦
I posted this out of concern that if only 26% of young people support the DNC, we have a big problem. I did not post this because I support or oppose Hogg and I do believe Mamdani represents the kind of Democrat we will need to defeat Trump. Voting is the alternative to war and Trump wants war.
👍💙🌎🌬🌊🌊🐾🐾🪶
Everyone should be shouting this in the streets WE ARE THERE THE LINE HAS BEEN CROSSED FOR AWHILE NOW COME ON NEWS MEDIA WAKE THE FUCK UP SPEAK THE TRUTH MOTHER FUCKERS
Stand up now
Good for Walz. The tragedy is that he gets in trouble from Weimar democrats.
I weep for what we could've had 😞
