Summary

Former vice presidential nominee Tim Walz criticized Trump for economic chaos while taking personal responsibility for the situation during an MSNBC interview.

“We wouldn’t be in this mess if we’d have won the election — and we didn’t,” Walz told Chris Hayes. He called Trump the “worst possible business executive” and praised the Wall Street Journal’s editorial criticizing Trump’s tariff war.

Walz emphasized Democrats must offer something better, not just criticize Trump. Recently, he acknowledged a leadership void in the Democratic Party and admitted spending too much time combatting Trump’s false claims about immigrants.

        Ok.

        Now tell me how moving to the right is totally gonna get the republicans’ approval you seek more than anything this time. And how are you gonna get that approval? Supporting even more genocides? Getting more cheneys on board? Abandoning more minorities? Kicking progressives even harder?

        Oh wait. Those are just things centrists do because they like doing them.

          i thought we were talking about how i was an old man on the internet roleplaying as a hip young kid, or are you not OP and you’ve somehow stumbled into this random back alley where i’m ominously positioned.

          Regardless, it’s not “moving right” people on the left see it as “moving right” because they’re on the left and have about 12 iq, whether or not the bipartisian support mattered or not is a different question, doesn’t seem like it really did much frankly, but it’s not “moving to the right” that’s for sure.

          Kicking progressives even harder?

          if you care about progressive politics, go find a progressive politician, oh wait, there are none, because it’s not a suitable political climate to engage in. AOC used to be progressive, she’s slowly drifted more and more towards the left since beginning her career though, progressivism strictly resides in the social sphere, and that’s fine.

          Minorities abandoned themselves on this election cycle anyway.

            And we’re done here. You think anyone to your left is stupid and anyone to your right is god.

              brother i’m on lemmy, most of the people who are politically engaged on this platform have about 12 collective IQ. Anybody on the right has about 10 collective IQ, i was graced with the unfortunate gift of intelligence, and have to suffer through a world full of stupid people.

              You’re gonna have to cut me some slack for being harsh lmao.

              You think anyone to your left is stupid and anyone to your right is god.

              fascinating psychoanalysis, did your mom get it for you?

              It’s wrong, unfortunately.

                You have mistaken unearned arrogance for intelligence. I said we’re done.
