Summary
Tim Walz held a town hall in Minnesota as part of a national tour, reflecting on Democrats’ 2024 loss and rallying support for progressive causes.
Walz framed the tour as part brand redemption, part Democratic catharsis, and part rally, while hinting at a potential 2028 presidential run.
He criticized Republicans and billionaires like Elon Musk, saying, “They chose the billionaire. We gotta do better.”
He proposed creating a “shadow cabinet” to challenge GOP policies and advocated for protecting social programs and trans rights.
Walz acknowledged the need for stronger messaging to counter Trump’s influence, emphasizing healthcare and social security as key issues.
That seems like a dangerous thing to call your tour when the fascists are already trying to shift the narrative that Democrats are terrorists
Context matters even if the fascists will ignore it.
Correct. Our revenge is human rights. Our revenge is helping each other. Our revenge is a better world.
That’s why we can call it that.
Seems like the GQP calling themselves domestic terrorists worked out pretty well for them. Maybe it’s time the Democrats went on a real offensive.
We gotta fight fire with fire. Avoiding potentially “dangerous rhetoric” is part of what got us here, we need to tell it like it is and start referring to things as “common sense” because that will reach the majority of Americans.
We need more people with a microphone to tell it like it is. Silence is complacency.
The difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is often perspective.
If they’re going to do it anyway then why worry about it?
If we keep going like this, there’s gonna be a lot of actual terror, so buckle up buttercup.
