    A month ago, i didn’t even know the name Tim Walz. Now, I’m absolutely enamored. How the hell did the Dems have someone like this on a shelf? Are they hiding more?

      Same, I keep hearing good things about him. I mean the guy was a chronic Dreamcast player for awhile, there are dozens of us! What’s not to love?

      What im confused about, as a non American, is how Tim seems to have overshadowed Harris. I heard about Tim way more than Harris. Is it sexist? Is it just that his more charismatic? I’ve never seen so much press about a vice president candidate before.

          I’ve literally never heard of Harris doing anything before being nominated. There’s no comparison.

    There’s nothing masculine about MAGA. MAGA is consumed by people who think being crass is strength. These people know nothing about strength. They have never needed it because they have never faced adversity themselves. The ultimate failure of privilege.

    All these people have left is larping some fictional version of masculinity and strength.

    He makes me want to get a rifle and start practicing shooting, and also advocate for common sense gun reforms. Well, I’m already advocating for that, but it’ll have more impact if I own a rifle.

    It really is such a perfect juxtaposition of toxic vs. healthy masculinity.
