Walz: I own this. The idea that millions of people stayed home because they didn’t think there was any difference between Trump and Kamala Harris and myself on the ticket— they didn’t and we need to acknowledge that.

You can lead a horse to water... I read that going back to President Carter, every incumbent (and Kamala was) received almost exactly their approval rating, which was 40% for President Biden. You outperformed expectations by 8%. It was a tough loss but you did well in my book. Fight on, Coach.

It was because Democrats pissed on Palestinians and their supporters, while Israel obviously was committing war crimes, acts of ethnic cleansing and genocide. It was also Democrats stupidly embracing “Bidenomics” while so many were struggling financially.

I have no idea why Tim Walz feels the need to "own" that this happened. It wasn't remotely his fault.

After everything that’s happened and more shit to come from this current administration and every level of power held by republicans, one would hope that in 2026 and beyond, voters will vote accordingly. A big ask, I’m aware, but shits pretty bad.
