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.”

    only to the unimaginative. Or those that want excuses to do nothing. Consent can be steered and manufactured. If the centrists had any ideology at all they’d be pursuing the right things, not lounging about doing absolutely nothing.

    What do the dems do lately that would make anyone vote for them? Do they profess to stand for… much of anything, besides Israels right to take land and exterminate the civilians on it? Tell me one thing they have made a strong stand on?

        This is a good example of whats wrong with the centrists. You dont even seem to know what I’m talking about, or else you’re just repeatedly denying it and pretending not to know. Its a microcosm of the Democrats floundering and failure right now.

          This is what’s wrong with leftists. They never win any elections because they don’t understand the importance of voting.

          Dems lose by 2 million votes in 2024 because of leftists getting tricked into not voting over Gaza.

          Leftists respond by acting like it’s some big defeat and dems need to start taking campaign advice from leftists that cannot win elections.

          On the other hand Trump loses by 3x as many votes in 2020 and comes back to win the next election by doubling down on his strategy.

          If Trump had leftists trying to tell him how to campaign he would’ve lost in 2016 and 2024.
