I mean Bernie is 200 years old so it’s not the fairest of comparisons. I could imagine him bringing that kind of sweaty teacher passion in an alternate late 70s/early 80s timeline though.
Certainly not disagreeing that Walz is bringing good vibes though 
“they aren’t for you. Shut up”
lol, yesterday Nate was hard in the tank for Shapiro.
So it benefits her by accident. Hooray!!!
Ezra Klein podcast was a good discussion about the pros and cons of Walz vs. Shapiro.
How the Fuck is Walz like the perfect fucking democrat politician and I’ve never heard of him until like a week or two ago?
Every single clip or video I see of him he just gets better and better.
Because he’s from one of those middle states and the political press only cares about NYC and DC.
No seriously, that’s why.
Well, that and his level of presidency-seeking ambition seems pretty low, so he doesn’t end up in all the articles talking about who the next person up is. A person just quietly plugging away doing a good job without trying to raise their own profile is not very exciting to cover.
The ceiling is 19%

Thread makes me want to move to Minnesota.
It’s an incredible place.
The Twin Cities are also extremely transit-forward and bike-forward and multicultural and filled with parks. Really just fabulous.
Me 3 weeks ago: We are so screwed.
Me now: It’s going to be okay.
Me 3WA: Trump just got shot, and Biden has pudding for brains.
Me now: Don’t worry, he’s dropping out next week.
Me 3WA: It’s about time. So how bad was the fight to replace him?
Me now: Non-existent. Everyone pretty much agreed it should be Kamala.
Me 3WA: Uh, okay, I guess.
Me now: No, it’s much better than you think. Her supporters are doing these memes…
Me 3WA: Oh, Jesus Christ…
Me now: Hold on, she’s in no fucks given mode. They’re actually funny this time.
Me 3WA: Sure they are. Who’s the VP.
Me now: Tim Walz.
Me 3WA: What the fuck is a Tim Walz?
Me now: He’s the governor of Minnesota.
Me 3WA: She picked some dude from a non-swing state? Why?
Me now: He’s gotten a lot done in his state with a razor thin majority in the state legislature.
Me 3WA: Oh so he’s one of these “reach across the aisle” centrist fucksticks.
Me now: That’s the thing. He’s actually not. He’s a labor friendly progressive. He’s who Bernie wanted her to pick.
Me 3WA: She picked the person Bernie wanted her to pick? Come on, there’s no way the eDems would allow this.
Me now: But even the eDems are happy. Both AOC and Joe Manchin came out with statements within minutes of each other saying what a great pick it was.
Me 3WA: Okay, now you’re just making shit up.
Me now: And then everyone has a lovefest party in Philadelphia later that day.
Me 3WA: Have you been drinking?
Me now: Yeah, but only because I’m so happy.
Me 3WA: I need to go.
Me now: See you in August!

This is just embarrassing.
