Minnesota Governor and former VP candidate Tim Walz is launching a town hall tour in Republican-held districts where representatives have stopped holding public events.
Starting in Iowa and Nebraska, he plans stops in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Ohio. Walz says he wants to amplify voter concerns about the Trump administration and Republican policies.
He denies using the tour to prepare for a national run, instead framing it as a way to keep Democrats engaged post-election.
His team has received hundreds of invitations from local leaders.
Not OP, but it appears Democrats are going to take the "high road" and campaign like it’s the 1950s. Again. In person, "addressing voter concerns," focusing on policy.
This is how you become president: Lie, loudly, frequently, through your teeth on social media. And shill every influencer you can to amplify it, like a pyramid scheme. That’s how you reach people: through their phones, hacking the engagement system, shamelessly. And Dems are going to keep losing until they figure that out or their party is outlawed.
The solution is to destroy the engagement feedback system: regulate Facebook, and any engagement based social media, like we should have done a long time ago. Or more specifically, deregulate them, and don't shield them from liability with the law.
But it's way too late for that.
Anyway, I'm not saying it's a good solution. But it's what will naturally arise, just like Trump rose through the Republican party when no oldschool Republicans wanted that. People you know will jump on the bandwagon, and worship liberal Trump. Get ready.
Remember this in 4 years. Tim walz could save the economy, Legalize slavery, take away woman's rights to vote, make the nation kneel before white Jesus and he wouldn't get a single Republican voter to switch sides and vote Democrat or independent. It's a waste of time, energy and money. The only thing he could do is get that magic (R) next to his name on the ballot.
