Walz — Comer Opens Congressional Investigation of Walz trips to China

[fuheel]

How so?

supports LGTBQ rights? Is a gun owner but wants background checks? Thinks there should be a two-state solution but also a ceasefire?

 

[RockyMtnHoo]

Because feeding kids in school = extreme leftism, apparently.

And a public school teacher. And retired military who advocated for Veterans issues in Congress. And pro 2nd Amendment.

The extreme leftism is just out of control.

 

[zeuxis]

I’m gonna vote for him so hard.

Me too, and many times!

I don’t think even Walz himself would try to claim he’s a moderate. He claims he’s a progressive and that progressives shouldn’t compromise their progressive values. He was quoted as saying one man’s socialism is another man’s neighborliness.

The strategy with Walz is “this guy believes in our progressive agenda but he’s relatable to people in the Midwest”. I don’t think the strategy with Walz has anything to do with him being moderate politically.

I don’t think you’re understanding at all what that comment by Walz means.

I do get what he means. I’m not calling the guy a socialist. But he’s an unapologetic progressive. No need to try and pretend he’s a moderate. And I’m not pretending JD Vance is a moderate either (nor do I even like JD Vance).

Ok, fair enough. Many of his specific policy positions are clearly moderate, though.

I think Progressive is what the Dems Stand for Some are "librul" which is a bit different

Its based on lies, so it suits you well

Democrats have learned how to play the Republican game

 

[CallMeTyler]

A common sense moderate? That’s Shapiro. Walz is way to the left of moderate.

In what ways? You mentioned statements he made above.

Are there policies that match this label?

In a testament to his bipartisan approach in Congress, Walz was ranked the 7th most bipartisan House member during the 114th Congress, according to The Lugar Center and the Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy.

It's gonna be hard painting him as a radical marxist communist

Democrats are going to win all 50 states.

More people need to read WJB. Seems like most people know him as a failed presidential candidate or for the Scopes trial. The Cross of Gold speech is one of the greatest orations in American history.

The only thing I know about WJB is that HL Mencken wrote a scathing and highly entertaining obituary about him:

The Scopes Trial

 

[HeWhoWearsCarolinaBlue]

With people like Wes Moore and Shapiro on deck? Agreed.

Beshear, Buttigieg, Whitmer. There will be plenty of quality options in 2032, or even in 2028 if we’re allowed to vote.

 

[lawtig02]

Wow. At least you’re not hiding it now.

Btw, how many times have you been to Minnesota in the last five years? I go about 3-4 times per year. I’ve seen no difference whatsoever in the racial and ethnic composition of the state in that time, and I’ve been shocked to learn all over again on each trip that Minneapolis was not, in fact, burned to the ground in 2020. If anything, it’s a nicer downtown now than it was in 2019.

Bye-bye, Pick. I barely knew ya here. I see your troll game hasn't improved with the new scenery.

Luckily, the Ignore feature on this board is MUCH better than the previous one.

Going to be waiting awhile for those "way to the left of moderate" policies he alleges.

The Republicans strategy is to attack Harris for not picking the Jewish candidate.
