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.

    I do blame them, though. They could have ridden the coattails of Biden’s withdrawal all the way to victory, but instead Hartis capitulated and palled around on stages with Republicans instead of Walz.

    The failure of the Democrat campaign has a lot of causes, but none more so than the failure of leadership.

      Ultimately nobody wants to touch the issue of spiraling national and global wealth inequality, but it’s destroying our economic systems and the only fix would seem to be redistributing that wealth.

      Democrats need to force their doners to make concessions to the American people in order to get voters, which goes against the interests of their doners, and they won’t get elected without the money to spend on advertising that wins elections.

      Both the Republicans and the Neolibs lead to an oligarchhy.
