Harris 2024 election thread

Agreed. His "I'd like to sit down and have a beer or two with him" factor is very high. For me, being a good person is a close second to policy position on desirable traits in a leader, as being an actual good person typically factors into most decisions. Looking forward to hearing more about him.
He doesn't have the recent baggage Shapiro has either, with the mishandling of sexual harrassment by a longtime staffer/friend.

A really good pick IMO.
 
... he's married with 2 kids so the weirdo JD Vance won't have anything to say.
One of them was a result of IVF as well, her name is Hope. I'm guessing we'll hear more about that since the Christo-fascist arm of the Republican party wants to come for IVF next.

I'm almost 40 and Walz is the first politician on a Presidential ticket I've ever been excited about. He's exactly the kind of person this country needs. What a difference a few weeks makes.

Imagine these dad vibes in the White House.

 
Fox: Tim Walz hunts. He ice fishes. He talks about rural America and how Donald Trump doesn't understand it. He's not afraid to mix it up. He speaks in plain speak. He's a former football coach and former teacher

Yes. He's not some rich guy that's just looking to milk the population for more money. Doesn't appear to be power hungry. Looks like he honestly wants to help people.
 
Interesting set of events over the last few weeks. About a month ago, right before THE DEBATE I was watching the Millennial Farmer, good YouTube if you are into that stuff. MF is the YouTube channel for agriculture, they run equipment like mine and it’s entertaining. There is a segment where the Minnesota gov’s staff calls MF to negotiate the gov being on the show. I found that odd because MF is fairly conservative, but in a nice way. Now it makes sense.
 
Mormons are supporting Harris more than any other Democrat in 60+ years

Data shows that Latter-day Saints are poised to support Harris “more than any other presidential Democratic ticket in 60 years,” said Jacob Rugh, an associate professor in the Department of Sociology at church-run Brigham Young University, during the call. He cited his research and past races that have moved the needle left in Utah and Maricopa County in Arizona.

 
Named a highway after him and signed the order in purple ink
Harris and Walz are our first True Gen X'ers at this level of Govt with an opportunity to both hold this high an office

I would bet a large pile of good money that when Walz was coaching Football he had them boys sitting in the Locker Room getting Fired up to Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight" before they hit the field too.

Cause that was the Jam all the Gen X folks were blasting Pre-game back in the day to get you hype
 
Former Republican Gov of New Jersey endorses Harris

“I was a proud Republican, but Donald Trump is unfit to lead our nation,” Whitman said in a statement. “We saw during his four years in office how he consistently chose himself, his pursuit of power, and his billionaire friends over the American people while spewing lies and spreading chaos at every turn.
“It’s time to move forward by electing Vice President Kamala Harris,” Whitman’s statement said”

The Harris campaign needs to hammer this. Harris had 2 weeks. The campaign was methodical. They zeroed in on 3 guys that each brought a unique advantage to the ticket. It ultimately came down to the relationship. The campaign was measured and disciplined. They chose a VP candidate that is middle America. He doesn’t benefit Harris or her family in any way outside of what his values, past policy positions and possibly bringing Minnesota’s electoral votes.

Contrast that w the Trump process. 1st his former VP isn’t on the ticket bc the former president’s supporters wanted to hang him. Also noteworthy is that Pence won’t endorse or vote for Trump. 2nd Trump’s campaign treated the running mate selection like a reality show. The candidates prostituted themselves to get picked. Then when he looked poised to make a choice his adult sons pushed Vance on him at the last minute. He went w Vance who delivers his ticket no advantage. Why? Because Uber rich crypto boys backed Vance. Again why? The answer is bc neither Trump nor Vance have convictions outside of self enrichment. His cult won’t ever see this.

Techniacally they are still boomers. They are right at the last two years of that generation.

As a "technical boomer" who misses being a "technical Genx" by 12 days (Born in December of 1964), the designation of January 1, 1965 as the birthdate of all GenX is definitely arbitrary. I consider myself an OG GenX because it's more about life experience and how you were raised than an arbitrary date you were born.

There is talk amongst some sociologists about "Generation Jones" (1954-1964) as being its own generation or a subset micro generation of either the Boomers or GenX. Characteristics of Generation Jones pretty accurately describe myself, but I am definitely more GenX than I am Boomer. I was raised by Boomers for sure.

Just remember, for every baby boomer that hates millennials and for every millennial who hates baby boomers there is a generation in between that hates you both. Generation X-Less cranky than baby boomers and less whiny than millennials. Cooler than both.
