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.

    Not you walz but the Democratic party. Send out 19 billion to Israel while our kids were hungry in school.

        So the answer is to keep slowly sliding into fascism with the ‘slightly less evil’ party, rather than forcing their hand in the hope of democratic reforms which stop the slide?

          The system is absolutely rigged and there are no winners. Americans are never gonna pull a france and pull out the guillotines. They hardly even protest. And when they do it’s because they want cheap eggs, gas or bot wearing masks. Or when a new iphone is out, then they have enough free time to camp on the street for a week.

        Yeah yeah, continue giving excuses to the Democrats for not being as bad as the Republicans. They’re lucky they have supporters like you who will just take whatever bullshit they give out whenever they try and emulate the Republicans. Clearly you’re not satisfied with how right leaning the political system in America already is, you want them to go all the way. Considering how spineless their supporters are in making them shift their policies, I can see why they think it’s completely fine for them to offer mediocrity in the face of fascism.
