Reminds me of this article I read yesterday:
Adopt a Red State: How Democrats Can Expose Republican Cowards
Glad to see Tim Walz is taking this approach.

It’s also the same article I posted and shared yesterday

Walz should just start running for president now. Become an instant symbol for people to rally around.
Trump started his 2024 campaign immediately after the 2020 election's inauguration. If Trump can start campaigning 4 years in advance, so can Walz.
The purpose of presidential candidates need not be simply a candidate for the office. They can be a president-in-waiting. They can continuously rally the base. They can provide someone on the side of the opposition with a giant megaphone in the media. Trump benefited from all these things in the 2020-2024 period. He was the president-in-waiting, the presumptive nominee. This could be one individual, or it could be 3 or 4 leading candidates. But if we had some declared primary candidates running around shouting the message now, that could really help things.

Not to mention, campaigning for president makes you legally untouchable, no matter how many laws you’ve broken!

it's also a solid propaganda campaign since part of our current problem is that we, the sane, don't have presence of messaging in the deep red places. the dems have for years given up on those votes, allowing polarization to take its grip and slowly strangle us. obama won with a 50 state strategy because that's what it actually takes to win

I agree that having a shadow president+cabinet would be a smart idea from the Dems to drive home the contrast with the GOP.

I had a similar thought as soon as I saw the headline. He needs to keep his name in people's ears for the next few years if he wants a shot in '28 (assuming we're still doing elections at all by then). He was everyone's favorite thing about the Harris campaign and was absolutely crushing it before their campaign advisors told them to stop pressing the weird and couchfucker stuff. I hope whoever is in charge of his PR recognizes that and just let's him be himself. I hate to have to say this but he's also a white man so voting for him might not be a hard no from some of the disenfranchised former Trump supporters after four years of getting fucked over repeatedly.

Good. Pussies.
Pussies are tough and can take a pounding and handle childbirth.
These guys are tender little scrotes
