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.

    If voting patterns of America ever showed something consistently, it is the fact that shifting to the left in any sense never works. You can sometimes entice the public with enough vigor so they don’t focus on your politics, but outside of very rare cases, shifting to the right consistently brings some votes, and shifting to the left consistently brings loses.
    And no amount of social media posts was able to change it weirdly enough.
    It might have something to do with consistent anti-voting narrative of a lot of the vocal leftists, coupled with their bafflement that they consistently don’t get a desired outcome.

      Sounds like a great excuse to only move right.

          I did vote. For harris.

          Your party responds to all sensory input by moving right and punching left. You assume anyone who has a problem with that must be a nonvoter.

      That’s ridiculous. Kamala appealed right and she got fewer votes. We abstained and let Trump win to show her that.

      In 2028, Obama is gonna have to appeal to the left in order to win against Trump.

      i think its primarily age demographics, and the fact that the voter base is stupid, i.e. votes for the wrong people.
