Summary

Minnesota Governor and former VP candidate Tim Walz is launching a town hall tour in Republican-held districts where representatives have stopped holding public events.

Starting in Iowa and Nebraska, he plans stops in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Ohio. Walz says he wants to amplify voter concerns about the Trump administration and Republican policies.

He denies using the tour to prepare for a national run, instead framing it as a way to keep Democrats engaged post-election.

His team has received hundreds of invitations from local leaders.

    The neo liberals don’t like what sanders is doing so they are trying to do the same thing to offer their tepid right leaning centrism which is what brought us to this point. The billionaire owned democrats are always looking for a way to impose their tepid right leaning centrism and thwart any hint of leftward movement towards economic democracy. Their goal is to maintain this class dictatorship at all costs and allowing full fledged fascism to enter the highest office was preferable to any administration that resembled FDR from Gaining power.

      Good job letting perfect get in the way of progress.

      Tim Walz is a progressive but because he’s not calling for guillotines out of the gate you’re dismissing his credentials and record.

      Stop helping the enemy divide us.

      Sanders has been going on rampage and is as passionate as ever. We don’t need someone who “is a nice guy and follows the rules”, the rules are what’s getting broken, we need someone (man or woman) with some fucking BALLS. This is class warfare and we don’t have a ton of time left. Between AI and climate change we need to figure out shit out way sooner rather than later. Waltz seems like a fine guy, but come the fuck on, we don’t need a Midwestern nice dad, we need someone with some fire.
