Summary
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’ 2024 running mate, has suggested he may run for president in 2028.
Reflecting on the Democrats’ loss to Donald Trump and JD Vance, he admitted: “A large number of people did not believe we were fighting for them in the last election – and that’s the big disconnect.”
Walz said his life experience, rather than ambition, would guide his decision.
Though his VP campaign was marred by gaffes, he remains open to running if he feels prepared.
There aren’t that many leftists in the USA. What leftists do exist are concentrated enough in the USA that most politicians can ignore them as they aren’t in their electorate. If you doubt either of those claims please find me a state government that is consistently progressive.
To me the left is a collection of policy stances:
So the vast majority of the DNC and especially their presidential candidates check every box and these stances poll at like 60-90%. Generally more states follow this creed than not, such as California, but some things like healthcare are a little too complicated to do for a single state but the best states are blue such as Hawaii.
If 60-90% back the stance but not the party which holds it then you don’t have a problematoc party you have an information problem and an intelligence problem.
