Walz has also approved of and signed into Minnesota law some stuff which is very far left progressive. Therefore, he ain't a centrist no matter what the liberals politicians and talking heads in the news media might say about him.

You're forgetting....the left doesn't judge policies or stated beliefs....they base their assumptions on....

If he had an R next to his name....these things would qualify him as a fascist or white supremacist.

The democrats should just go hard left and not pretend to be somewhere in the middle. Compared to Walz, Bernie Sanders is the centrist.

It would definitely be more honest...but hard left doesn't poll well. Joe ran on bridging the divide....then put sex ed in 1st grade.

Choosing a candidate based on where they're from is just as unsound as choosing them based on race and gender.

I'm gonna disagree. Culture is local...he pushes back against narratives like "coastal elites" but regardless....by choosing a center of the map governor...she dodges the criticism of only caring about NY and LA.

He's definitely not moderate....but perhaps he can fool some people.

I'd rather a candidate be chosen based on them being the best person for the job, regardless of their age, sex, location, or race. Where they were the governor or senator of should be irrelevant. How well they performed in that capacity is what should matter.

Well sure....I'm not inclined to believe Harris actually picked Walz. This is all being done for her.

Why? It's been part of campaign strategy for a long time.

You are correct. Just like no voters picked Harris. Joe’s last act of revenge was endorsing Kamala forcing the party to prop up someone who was previously despised by many in the party. Now with the gaslighting campaign in overdrive she is hailed as the second coming of Obama.

They did vote for her as Biden's running mate, so that's not exactly true. And many will vote for her in November. Whether enough to win despite MAGA shenanigans remains to be seen.

We do know, however, as an incontrovertible fact, that Trump will claim voter fraud if he doesn't win, no matter what the vote count is.

Guaranteed. Groundwork is being laid as we speak.

Nice how you can't imagine a scenario where democrats can disagree with you and vote differently without being dishonestly misled somehow.

Ironic given the sheer level of lies, falsehoods and unbelievable claims without a shred of substance coming from Harris' opponent.

-- A2SG, it would be laughable if it weren't so true....

There's an equal level of that from the other side. Oodles of articles about how Trump is going to steal the election. Given all that, it's obvious if Trump wins, no matter what the vote count is, it's going to be claimed he won due to election tampering and voter fraud.

Irrelevant! No one voted for her to be the Presidential nominee, Joe got those votes and was forced out by Pelosi and friends. Kamala was anointed after Joe endorsed her.

And what shenanigans would that be? Both Trump and Vance actually facing the press both hostile and friendly Would that be one of the shenanigans?

Do you not remember the countless times Democrat's have cried voter fraud? Sometimes even before the vote. It is an established fact there have been voter fraud case on BOTH sides so Democrat's have no right to a holier than thou attitude. In fact the steal is already under way, get those illegals registered quickly!
Nice how you can't imagine a scenario where democrats can disagree with you and vote differently without being dishonestly misled somehow.
Of course Democrat's can disagree with me, I was referring to those who disagreed with Kamala until they had no choice but to fall in line.
Ironic given the sheer level of lies, falsehoods and unbelievable claims without a shred of substance coming from Harris' opponent.
Oh my, those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Nothing is laughable about the Kamal gaslighting campaign! She is an empty suit with no substance. She can't even face a sympathetic press, she will be exposed in the one debate she just MIGHT attend. Her record on the border as VP is so bad she has diverted to try to sell her record as prosecuting attorney claiming she was a warrior against illegal immigration, just more gaslighting.

Just go back and watch some of the reporting on MSM before the coup against Joe. She was not the darling of the party she is touted to be now. It would be laughable if it weren't true....

Well, to be fair, he did try to before.

Given all that, it's obvious if Trump wins, no matter what the vote count is, it's going to be claimed he won due to election tampering and voter fraud.
Maybe. And this time, there might even be evidence to back it up.

-- A2SG, if not, I highly doubt there will be a repeat of January 6, 2021...

Actually, it's quite relevant.

No one voted for her to be the Presidential nominee, Joe got those votes and was forced out by Pelosi and friends. Kamala was anointed after Joe endorsed her.
Or he chose to step down by his own free will. We all weren't in the room where it happened, so your guess is as good as anyone else's.

And what shenanigans would that be?
Who knows? We're already hearing bits and pieces of excuses that may come up later on, I guess it depends on what they can get away with.

Both Trump and Vance actually facing the press both hostile and friendly Would that be one of the shenanigans?
Nah. That's normal campaigning. I'm more concerned about stuff brewing behind the scenes.

Do you not remember the countless times Democrat's have cried voter fraud?
Sure. I don't recall them losing 60 plus challenges in court, though, nor do I remember an attempt to storm the Capitol and delay the official proceedings.

So there were differences.

Sometimes even before the vote. It is an established fact there have been voter fraud case on BOTH sides so Democrat's have no right to a holier than thou attitude. In fact the steal is already under way, get those illegals registered quickly!
Sure, there are always a few cases here and there. Never enough to steal an election, though.

Of course Democrat's can disagree with me, I was referring to those who disagreed with Kamala until they had no choice but to fall in line.
Or not. No one is ever forced to vote for any party's nominee. We'll see how people feel about her in November.

Oh my, those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Yes, all politicians lie. But even among politicians, Trump is in a class by himself as liars go.

Nothing is laughable about the Kamal gaslighting campaign! She is an empty suit with no substance. She can't even face a sympathetic press, she will be exposed in the one debate she just MIGHT attend. Her record on the border as VP is so bad she has diverted to try to sell her record as prosecuting attorney claiming she was a warrior against illegal immigration, just more gaslighting.
So don't vote for her.

Just go back and watch some of the reporting on MSM before the coup against Joe. She was not the darling of the party she is touted to be now. It would be laughable if it weren't true....
There was no coup. Calling what happened a "coup" only serves to make the word seem to mean something it doesn't.

-- A2SG, which, I suspect, is the intention....
