A month ago, i didn’t even know the name Tim Walz. Now, I’m absolutely enamored. How the hell did the Dems have someone like this on a shelf? Are they hiding more?
What im confused about, as a non American, is how Tim seems to have overshadowed Harris. I heard about Tim way more than Harris. Is it sexist? Is it just that his more charismatic? I’ve never seen so much press about a vice president candidate before.
well, certainly, if all goes well the vice president isn’t a particularly interesting position to talk about outside out of the country. it’d be like if we heard about germany’s vice chancellor - the only reason we’d get that news in America is if something went very wrong
But we go back to my question then, is Harris really so boring that most news since he was nominated are about him, her name being mentioned in passing? Could be my bias, as I don’t actively follow American politics on purpose.
As an American: delightfully yes. Harris and Walz are running on the promise of peace and being generally charming and charismatic in the way any other country might expect of a politician, in contrast to the memory of Trump spawning two or three new disasters a month

it’s also mere novelty, as harris has been the vice president for years now
I’ve literally never heard of Harris doing anything before being nominated. There’s no comparison.

Here’s to a boring 4 years then 🍻
may you live in boring times!
Based on their DNC speeches, Waltz is a much better public speaker than Harris.
It’s because he’s an Everyone’s ideal grandpa / father
It’s because he’s the most progressive politician to get within spitting distance of the Presidency since Al Gore.
America has daddy issues?
