you need to leave fries cheese and gravy out of this, Le Point

She started off strong but couldn't string a coherent sentence together by the end. She was like Biden without the dementia. And in a conversational setting, she was a disaster.

Couldn’t string a sentence together? Really?

Man… I really disagree.

To be clear, I do think something changed in the Dems strategy at a certain point. I don't think she's dumb or incapable of speaking. It just seems like she was trying to follow a rigid mandate which made it impossible for her to be personable and charismatic and relatable to the average person, which I think she is capable of. At least more than what she showed by the end.

Okay, thanks for clarifying.

How did Walz poll among voters during the run ? He seems to resonate with the average American

The dow shit 600 points before a mid morning rally. there's still a lot of selling pressure

The core problem is a democrat problem, not a candidate problem imo. America would have elected a wine mom no problem but not one attached to a status quo party.

They would elect everyone's favourite uncle too. But this democrat leadership is still poison.

Iirc he had a pretty good approval rating and was garnering some enthusiasm and then they seemed to neuter him completely.

Democrat strategists were basically begging him to stop calling Republicans weird.

Because they're fucking losers. Go listen to James Carville speak if you want to know how lost they are.

That seems like a fair assessment. I’m not sure a lot of people thought beyond “Biden is president, economy bad.”

Frustrating to me that they bought into the Trump will be good for the economy bullshit but it is what it is. (My group chat that bought into this nugget admitted they’re having second thoughts now)

May need an outsider to start a new party. Clean break. Could be AOC but it's so tough for women to get elected I don't know.

Damn. I invested in bouncy castles, when the real coin was in chickens

Stopped calling republicans weird and stopped going after billionaires. It was a noticeable shift. The two talking points that were actually landing.

 

[hockeylover]

I’m still kind of skeptical they’re gonna be getting free and fair elections going forward.

As long as she doesn't wear pantsuits, and name a running mate named "Tim"

Oh they're 100% NOT going to be fair. Everything will be stacked against the opposition. The media, mail in votes will be gone, all the stat agencies will be lying to the people. It's going to take a HUGE groundswell movement and possibly violence.
