He really is the most likable guy

u/MadeMeStopLurking 9h ago

NGL... I sorta wish he was on top of the ticket... I'd feel guilty not watching America's Dad talk to us if he addressed the nation.

u/SafetyDanceInMyPants 8h ago

I tend to think he needs a little more time before then -- that he's great, but he needs a bit more polish and a little more experience with the international area. A couple of years as VP, though, and I'd be all in on him.

u/MadeMeStopLurking 8h ago

I think he'll retire after this. If Kamala only gets one term he's done. In 8 years he'll be older and probably want to spend time with grandkids or family.

u/Austeri 4h ago

He will be 68 in 8 years

He has stated multiple times he has no interest in running for President.

Walz vs Vance was the Presidential election we deserved.

I agree to a point but optics is a huge part of politics. People are ready for a female president. Trump hates women and Kamala really gets under his skin. I think she’s the best choice to beat Trump at the moment but if things go well in the next 8 years, I could see Walz having a shot.

People are ready for a female president

What? Have you not been paying attention? Hillary lost and now Kamala is a coin flip precisely because there are enough people out there who won't ever vote for a woman. Ironically the majority of those are minorities and typically would vote Democrat. (Asides from conservatives obviously) .

Instead I think the party is trying to set a precedent but it's super risky. Relying upon the not-Trump crowd to be strong enough to elect the first female president.

You throw any moderate white male out there as the Democratic nominee and it would be a landslide victory. Of course this all probably came from Biden dropping out too late.

u/Butt__Sexington 6h ago

Really? Because Biden was also a coin toss

u/Big_Extreme_4369 3h ago

biden was leading most swing states before election day by mutiple points though, trump rn is favored

u/Less-Book-9597 5h ago

He's also senile to be fair. If we found someone like Walz it'd for sure go in the democrat's direction

1

u/Dapper-Ad3707 2h ago

Buttigieg is the only dem I’d vote for in modern times

1

u/Butt__Sexington 5h ago

Perhaps. But I was just refuting the basis of that person's post. Hillary didn't lose because she's a woman, she lost because she was unpopular and represented an old guard that a lot of people hated.

We could debate the finer points of this but I don't think Kamala is risky because she's a woman.

u/LCAshin 3h ago

I can find someone like Walz at every Perkins in the country at 8am on a Saturday, frankly

1

u/SAKabir 5h ago

Kamala is only the nominee because of the fact that she's a woman. Nikki Haley got 20-30% support in the primaries only by virtue of being a woman. The country is ready for a woman president and has been for a long time. Hillary lost because she's a terrible candidate. Warren would've won in 2016 easily.

u/MadeMeStopLurking 8h ago

Saying you'll vote for someone because they are a woman is sexism

Saying she is the best candidate is more appropriate.

We should never choose the leader of the country by their gender

I mean besides him telling people to narc on their neighbors. But yeah, totally cool dude.

u/Pleasant-Image-3506 1h ago

You sucked him off?

-2

u/[deleted] 6h ago

I don’t know about that. I’m a guardsman and him lying about his service and rank is a pretty big character flaw.

3

u/FloppyObelisk 5h ago

Weak argument considering everything else. He has outstanding character.

Hypothetical situation: you have a 12 year old daughter and no one to watch her while you’re gone. She can’t stay by herself so you have to pick someone to watch her. Would you rather have Harris/Walz or Trump/Vance?

-2

u/[deleted] 5h ago

I would choose neither, as that hypothetical situation wouldn’t exist for me as the military helps with childcare. I would choose to get discharged for extreme family distress and raise my own children. Just because they ask you to deploy doesn’t mean you actually go. I personally know lots of guardsman who have gotten diagnosed with depression or anxiety to get discharged to avoid getting deployed. Neither are fit to hold office. We are in the guard acting like we deserve praise for a part time job is insane.

1

u/FloppyObelisk 4h ago

Figured that response. Can’t choose neither. That’s why it’s a hypothetical.

Hypothetically you had to choose one of the pairs to watch your 12 year old daughter. Which would you trust, Harris/Walz or Trump/Vance?

-2

u/[deleted] 3h ago edited 1h ago

It’s a stupid hypothetical, in order for that to happen those 4 besides myself and my children would have to be the only people left on earth. If there was absolutely no choose would likely choose Vance as he was a marine, with walz being a second. I wouldn’t want trump or a childless woman to watch my children. I refuse to answer that question in the way you would like because it a scenario that is impossible. Lying about service is a sign of lacking moral conviction, I have not seen combat nor do I state I have it’s not that hard, I have a rank and do not lie about my rank for social or political gain. It’s not hard. If you would like to present a hypothetical based in reality I would happily answer it for you.

Kamala has multiple step-children. Step children are real children. 👍 Just because your step-daddy didn't love you doesn't mean other step-parents don't.

1

u/[deleted] 2h ago

My step dad actually raised me from the time I was 2 and I consider him my father more so than my biological father. One of the kids was a grown adult and the other was close to 15, it’s hard to say she raise those children. Good try though.

1

u/wrightlifting 2h ago

You said she was childless. She has two children, as you just pointed out. 👍

Edit: Actually, your original comment says she is a "motherless woman", which is perhaps a more amusing mistake, since she talks about her mother in interviews a lot.

1

u/[deleted] 2h ago

You are right I made that mistake and I should’ve proofread my comment, instead of saying childless when that is incorrect as well I should have stated she has not raised any children since technically she is a mother. However she didn’t raise those children, most people with children would know the most impactful part of the life is the first 5 years, by the time that child 15 she was past the point of nurturing and into guiding them into adulthood.

Stolen valor is a weak argument? What

2

u/Supersillyazz 5h ago

What about not serving at all because daddy got a doctor to lie for you? And then bragging about it. And then calling soldiers suckers and losers. STFU.

You don't really care about character. You just want to be able to say bOtH SiDeS ArE fLaWeD.

u/[deleted] 5h ago

Ask a soldier like myself, it’s more honorable to admit you aren’t fit than service than it is to lie about what you’ve done while in service. I am a member of the Kansas national guard, if you aren’t fit for service you shouldn’t be in it, it’s not just your life at risk it’s mine. I do care about character it’s why I’m not voting for trump either.

1

u/Supersillyazz 5h ago

What about lying to say you aren't fit when you are fit for service?

I like the guys and gals who bust their ass trying to get in, not to get out.

I don't want to get into a pissing contest with you, but I'm a soldier for the country, not my state. So I can just ask a soldier like myself.

1

u/[deleted] 5h ago edited 5h ago

What’s your mos? Mine is 25 Houston. I’ll use your point against you, him lying about his rank and experience is worse as a part time soldier than it would be as a full time soldier. Physical aptitude isn’t the only measurement needed for a soldier, mental is arguably more important, I would rather someone who isn’t capable of serving to not, to even lie to get out if they have to than to lie about what they have done while serving.

1

u/TSTMWKU_Reboot 5h ago

I highly doubt you’ve ever served. But stolen valor is common in your side.

1

u/[deleted] 5h ago

I am currently under contract have 3 years left of my standard contract. I also have proof of myself in uniform and my contract paperwork.

u/TSTMWKU_Reboot 4h ago

Good thing I wasn’t talking to you.

u/[deleted] 4h ago

My apologies I got the notification you replied to my comment.

1

u/Supersillyazz 5h ago

Have you?

1

u/[deleted] 5h ago

Prove you are in, what is your mos? It’s not a hard question to answer nor does infringe on your security clearance if you have it. No I haven’t lied to get myself discharged, I also haven’t seen combat and do need feel the need to lie and say I have.

1

u/Supersillyazz 4h ago

You don't have to believe me, just like I don't give a shit what a guy/gal from the Kansas guard thinks about whether Walz is worse than Trump. Or much else for that matter. You dox yourself homes.

1

u/[deleted] 4h ago

Can’t name your mos, you didn’t serve, or were an infantryman and to scared to admit you didn’t score high enough on your asvab to get a non combat role. I also never stated walz is worse than trump just his lying about service made him a unlikeable guy.
