Summary
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has criticized the Harris-Walz 2024 presidential campaign for playing it too “safe,” saying they should have held more in-person events and town halls.
In a Politico interview, Walz—known for labeling Trump and Vance as “weird”—blamed their cautious approach partly on the abbreviated 107-day campaign timeline after Harris became the nominee in August.
Using football terminology, he said Democrats were in a “prevent defense” when “we never had anything to lose, because I don’t think we were ever ahead.”
While acknowledging his share of responsibility for the loss, Walz is returning to the national spotlight and didn’t rule out a 2028 presidential run, saying, “I’m not saying no.”
Except dems have been winning without leftists. Dems have also lost because of leftists like in 2024.
That is how leftists ratchet governments to the right. By losing elections for themselves and anyone that parties with them. Then attacking the dems that gave them a chance.
So dems cater to actual voters that show up and vote and have nuanced, diverse ideologies in the middle of the spectrum.
Instead of working with leftists that screech “genocide Joe” until Trump gets elected.
