Making his debut as a vice presidential candidate on Tuesday, Tim Walz staked his claim to Middle American values and argued that former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, are “weird” and “creepy as hell.”
Walz, the governor of Minnesota, also got the packed arena laughing with a reference to a meme about Vance having relations with a couch.
“I can’t wait to debate the guy,” Walz said. “That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.”

“In Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and the personal choices they make, even if we wouldn’t make the same choice for ourselves,” he said. “There’s a golden rule. Mind your own damn business.”
I’ve always hated how Dems try to keep decorum and fight with one arm tied behind their back, while Republicans shit sling and fight dirty. I’m glad Dems are finally growing some balls and calling out these idiots with their own attack strategies
And yet, unlike Republicans, they aren’t resorting to dirty tricks and grotesque lies. It’s really nice to see this middle ground where they aren’t just sucking it up but they also aren’t going down to the Republicans’ level.
“when they go low, we kick them in the nuts, respectfully”
I don’t remember Kamala being this way when she was campaigning in 2020. It seems she’s fucking fed up with the GOP’s bullshit like the rest of us.
I don’t think he’s fighting dirty. He’s just being clever and on the attack. Using their own attack strategies would be using racial slurs, political violence, and theocratic-fascist dog whistles. Harris and Waltz are just punking them, and it’s great.
It really highlights how decrepit and often inept the Biden campaign was.
