MSM: “Tim Walz net worth is half of the average Amercan. He’s just a working man one of you”

How the fuck are you 60 year old with a salary of 130k, a state governor and that’s what you managed to save? I don’t think this is the flex they think it is. I don’t want my state nor my country run by a financially illiterate person.

Half of Average, or Median?
Half of median would be very impressive to have such a low net worth.

Misread the headline, less than* average not half of the average. Regardless at that age and to be making the money he is that is pretty low. You can be altruistic and give away what you have but you know what else would be a good idea? to have enough savings to carry you to your death without encumbering your loved ones or the state.

So he's in reality doing much, much better than someone who's working class in his age bracket?
But who in the public is going to really know the difference between median, and average, unless they stated what his net worth was exactly.

Well he managed to drain a state budget surplus while raising taxes somehow, so that situation isn’t terribly surprising.

Yet another to heap onto the pile of baggage for Walz
He met repeatedly and hosted for Ramadan a muslim cleric from the george floyd mob, who made a bunch of pro-hamas posts on facebook and called for people to watch a pro-hitler documentary, along with a big stylized artwork of adolf hitler and a swastika

“He also has justified violence against Israel, including from terror groups,” the ADL spokesperson said. “Given his hurtful remarks post-Oct. 7, and absent any recognition of the pain he has caused the Jewish community, we urge all public officials and leaders to avoid meeting with him in the future. Those who have met with Imam Zaman should clarify that they don’t agree with his toxic views about Jews and the Jewish state.”

im not sure if you are lost or what but JD Vance is FLOUNDERING! trump was even forced to say how unimportant the VP is, what a FAIL. obviously being VP is so important that actually your president drops out and you just get nominations because of how important it is!

for real tho i do hope we can move past the VP is important stage that every presidential election takes and move on to just actual policy comparisons of the regimes. i read a USA today article about how Trump is better for the country, specifically because we're headed into a recession. 2 headlines i didnt think that rag or any other national newspaper was allowed to print even under the opinion guise.

A good example of Trump breaking out of his pariah status in the cultural sphere.

I think a lot of people still underestimate the ripple effects of the cultural cordon sanitaire around Trump breaking down in recent weeks and months.




For obvious reasons, the Harris campaign will move heaven and earth to prevent a policy comparison and turn this election into a contest of personality and vibes. Which strikes me as futile, though. The similarities to 2016 are uncanny. That year, Hillary also tried everything in her power to turn the election into a referendum on Trump's personality. As we found out in retrospect, 2016 was a referendum on Hillary, not Trump. And now, in 2024, the Democratic candidate has even been an active member of the incumbent administration, so the baseline tendency toward this election being a referendum on the track record of the Biden/Harris WH will be even stronger.

Yeah, this is only possible because corporate interests have consolidated the media, we essentially don't have a free press in this country we have political prostitutes and shills for the establishment.
That's how they can get away with the basement strategy, or no press conferences, only reading from a teleprompter, refusing to debate.
Harris has canceled two debates and says she will only show up for one, which you can bet ABC will give her the questions in advance.

There is a huge difference between 2016 trump and 2024 trump.
