Tim Walz has taken on a leveled-up approach in a race to the finish of the 2024 election, after a more cautious and buttoned-up start as Kamala Harris’ running mate.

In the weeks following the vice presidential debate, Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has been sounding more like the aggressive campaigner who got the role than the buttoned-up figure he’s cut since joining the ticket.

Dressed in khakis and a navy Harris-Walz sweatshirt Monday, Walz delivered some of his sharpest attacks yet against former President Donald Trump. Walz appeared more natural in his latest appearances on the trail, including in his signature flannel in rural Pennsylvania, after shedding the blue sport coat and white collared shirt he’s favored for the last few months.

He’s also getting back on the TV circuit, with appearances coming up on “The View” and “The Daily Show,” according to a campaign official, after Walz went viral pre-running mate selection with his labeling of the GOP ticket as “weird” in a cable news interview.

      Perhaps it is a better strategy to reject Repubs who might actually convince people who actually vote, and instead go after socialists on lemmy.ml who have all been spending the last several months writing that both sides are the exact same side with zero differences.

        No, they’re not saying both sides are the same. They’re shitting on Biden and Harris for the Israeli genocide while ignoring the fact that Trump would have a significantly worse response.

          How would Trump be worse on Israel? Israel has already been allowed to expand its war and has faced no consequences for its crimes against civilians. Indeed, democratic leadership in government has rewarded Israel with standing ovations, free cash, and continued arms sales

          So how would Trump be worse?

          I don’t want Trump to win anything. He sucks. But I want Democrats to feel embarrassed about promoting their party. You should feel gross about it, or admit that you are fine with appeasement policy for Israeli genocide

            Go read his and his party’s thoughts. They wrote it all down. Or are you not arguing in good faith and attempting to dissuade others? :)

              Again, how would it be worse than what is already happening under Democratic leadership?

              Just admit that you are fine with genocide

                Go read the documents leaked and released. You won’t listen to us. You’re ready for a comeback either way. So we’re not going to bother. Have fun reading! There really is some incredibly horrible stuff written by them.

                  Then link the documents 🤷 instead of playing coy

                  I’m not sure what “secret Israel documents” your talking about but what’s worse than “sell Israel weapons to kill children and allow them to expand their their war into neighboring countries”?

                  I guess you find genocide generally acceptable as long as a republican isn’t part of it?

                    No. Any of us spending the time to create a well thought out response with documentation is pointless. You won’t read it and those tactics are part of the Republican playbook: Get them to waste their time. Let them spend it making some elaborate argument and immediately shut it down by insulting them or it.

                    Do your own work.

                    so does Harrison

                    Who is Harrison? George Harrison? The Beatle? Harrison Ford? Is Indiana Jones running for president?

                    Y’know guys, I’m starting to think that this person might not be arguing in good faith…

            Former President Donald Trump said that Israel needs to “finish what they started”.

            Donald Trump has said that Israel should “hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later” in response to an Iranian missile attack on Tuesday.

              OK and so far Israel hasn’t needed nuclear weapons nor has anybody restrained them from anything they’ve been done

              So please when you vote for Democrat remember that you are voting for genocide enablers. It’s appeasement of Bibi

        I think it is funny when I hear Trump warning about the violent liberal Marxists that are coming for us if the Dems win, because if the people on Lemmy.ml weren’t Russian trolls, they’d be the people he’s talking about. 😂

      I would categorize them as conservative institutionalists. Which, in my opinion, the liberals have an easier time appealing to them ideologically.

      Electorally thats a benefit and, thats the minimum we need against fascists right now.
