    That’s a surprisingly progressive ticket. Who would have guessed that the 2024 election would be between a lawyer & School Teacher (before politics at least) and a dementia riddled real estate mobster and a couch fucker

      a progressive ticket with one of the post popular governors in the country who was able to be a governor because he was relatable and popular enough with rural republican minnesotans

        It makes sense. He was big on in person campaigning. I’ve shook his hand and chatted with him, my dad had lunch with him a while back.

        Hes a no-nonsense guy. He’s from Nebraska, retired Command Sergeant Major, taught in a small town, and listening to him reminds me of my grandfather who was a very popular educator and farmer in the midwest. It’s hard not to like him.

          not likely; but if walz does win, peggy flanagan would take over and probably have a big boost going into a full term.

      Dems have been sneaky progressive since like 2018. It’s been a real breath of fresh air. With the Biden Administration’s achievements and policy goals basically being a leftist’s wishlist, I’m excited to see what a Harris Administration can do on top of that.
