I am ready to put the years of the Orange felonious fibber behind me and the racism that I have both endured and witnessed as well. Get him out of here. #NotGoingBack
I am proud to announce that I've asked Tim Walz to be my running mate.
As a governor, a coach, a teacher, and a veteran, he's delivered for working families like his.
It's great to have him on the team.
Now letās get to work. Join us:
Trying to mostly stay away from politics on this blog, but today thereās something I just need to say.
Kamala Harris just defied DECADES of inside-the-Beltway āwisdomā by picking Walz as her running mate instead of Shapiro. The gray-hairs were probably all telling her she had to go with Shapiro to court the independents. Instead of picking the moderate, staunchly pro-Israel guy, she went with a full-on progressive with a strong LGBTQ+, pro-choice, pro-union record.
Sheās making a leap of faith here. Sheās betting that progressives, young people, and marginalized people will show up for her if she shows that sheās listening. As someone who lived through several decades when progressives didnāt have a voice even in the Democratic party, I canāt begin to tell you how huge this is.
In the coming months, you will no doubt read/hear things about Harris or Walz that you wonāt like. Some of it may even be true. There may well already be things you donāt like about her.
Unfortunately, the choice isnāt between a perfect candidate and an imperfect candidate. The choice is between an imperfect candidate and possibly the most disgusting man on the planet, a guy who isnāt even trying to hide his plans to destroy the US. If Palestine is your #1 issue, know that he will do everything he can to pour gas on the flames until thereās nothing left.
Harris made the choice to listen to progressive voices. If she loses because we didnāt show up for her in huge numbers, weāll likely be wandering in the wilderness for decades more while the planet burns around us.
(Oh, and weāll need to show up again in ā26. Letās not make the same mistake we made in 2010, when the left stayed home after electing Obama and Republicans won big everywhere, which led to the extreme gerrymandering weāre still dealing with in many states.)
Reminder that just because Trump sucked tonight that you still have to go out and vote. People watched the debates in 2016, thought trump did awful and Hillary killed it, didnāt vote, and you know the rest of the story.
Start planning to vote now! Trump is counting on you not doing so.
I'm gonna say it
This is when she won.
Oh Little Timmy. You're just a Liberal Wingnut!
Bye bye Tim, you'll be bowing out soon
This should read "How Commiecrats take over a country."
Whoops.
Heritage...
Listen, staning politicians is bad. We must remain critical of people in power.
However it is funny to watch Republicans act like this man is the devil incarnate.
This is democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz Gov. Of Minnesota. This man looks like if a capybara was a person. He looks like he'd pull over on the side of the road and help you change a flat tire. He looks like he'd offer you hot coco from his thermos if you were out ice fishing with him.

So, I really love the selection of Tim Walz for VP and itās taken me a moment to articulate why. I mean, obviously, Dem bonafides, heās sharp, heās funny, etc etc. But everyone in the Veepstakes fits that bill, Harris was spoiled for good choices.
But Walz offers something that the other men in contention donāt that I think will be incredibly useful in combating Trumpism.
He offers an example and an off ramp to the section of men who felt like they were Republicans by default, and so support Trump by default. There are a lot of Trump voters who are full on obsessive, but thatās not who weāre talking to. Weāre talking to folks who grew up in Republican areas, or felt their hobbies didnāt line up with who a Democrat was, or didnāt feel represented by their image of a Democrat. You want to see it so you can be it, you know? Which is why Harris is so inspirational to a lot of segments of folks, but Walz is too.
He served in the military. He went to a state college. Heās your favorite teacher from your public high school. Heās your football coach who actually cared if you were passing your math class. Heās the guy you looked up to at school when your family sucked but this guy cared, and he helped you get out and make something of yourself.
Heās the neighbor who helps you jump your car. Heās your uncle who takes you hunting. Heās your Dad who loves teasing you at the Stare Fair. Heās you when he makes a mistake like his DUI and takes responsibility for it, and when he has the chance makes sure other can come back from similar mistakes. Heās you when you and your wife want so badly to be parents and IVF gives you the family you wanted. Heās you when he says āit had to be meā and used his standing and power to protect vulnerable kids sponsoring the GSA at his school.
He gives the real life example to these men that they can be that football, fishing, hunting family man who wants to provide for his family, be that powerful, respected member of the community and use that power to feed kids in school. That itās normal to enthusiastically work for a boss like Harris. That yeah those other guys are fucking weirdos, and youāre not a weirdo, are you?
That thereās a place in the Democratic Party for them. That they donāt have to default to being fucking weird.
I hope those guys see this example of masculinity and goā¦ yeah, thatās me. Thatās who Iām gonna be.
Every Rethuglican President has put this country in recession that a Democrat had to bail the country out of. Why vote for anyone other than Biden?
I am bedazzling because I can, also vote blue
Someone said this on Tiktok and I cackled, so here we are

P.S. Check your voter registration here. And check it closer to election day.
Not registered? Youāve moved and itās out of date? Update your voter registration/registration here.
Donāt forget to vote up and down the ballot! Local elections matter, and hopefully youāll find someone youāre a lot more passionate about on a local level.
And make sure your friends do the same!!!!
This website also covers what you may need to bring with you the day of. Some states require you to bring your ID, for example, so go check. Your state may have early voting options, and you should definitely use those! They make life a lot easier. You can check those out here.
Just a reminder that Kamala Harris likely can't talk about the work she's doing for a ceasefire in Gaza because the negotiations are happening now. We don't know everything, we can't know everything. I'm sorry.
But she's called for a ceasefire.
By all means! Keep pushing her! But still vote for her in November because the other candidate does not care about Palestine, and a third party vote is a waste of your time and everyone else's.
Found this in the Barnes and Noble bathroom!! Living in Texas, I've seen and heard of so many women who can't vote blue due to the fear of their husbands, partners, parents, or family members finding out about it. Trust me, they won't š
Trump's too scared to even look Harris in the eyes lmfao he's getting cooked
Reminder to address future president Harris as Harris. She deserves the same respect as every male candidate has had in the past of being addressed by their last name. We are going to take her seriously and respect her.
Show up to the polls on election day
Vote President Harris.
It's so inspiring to see people standing up against the evils of fascism, anger, vanity, hatred, contempt and offence! It's so encouraging to see that everyone with a little sense is coming together to say that the red-haired old excited man belongs on the golf course, rather than in the White House.

Well, we would send him to therapy, but it would be a waste of money, an open institution called a golf club would suffice.
He Can See The End
