Summary

Former vice presidential nominee Tim Walz criticized Trump for economic chaos while taking personal responsibility for the situation during an MSNBC interview.

“We wouldn’t be in this mess if we’d have won the election — and we didn’t,” Walz told Chris Hayes. He called Trump the “worst possible business executive” and praised the Wall Street Journal’s editorial criticizing Trump’s tariff war.

Walz emphasized Democrats must offer something better, not just criticize Trump. Recently, he acknowledged a leadership void in the Democratic Party and admitted spending too much time combatting Trump’s false claims about immigrants.

    The DNC is a right-wing party and frankly benefits from the current fascist oligarchy too. They still get their bribes from corporate lobbyists all the same. VERY few representatives actually lean left and fight for us - hell, even Sanders, Walz, and AOC are centrists at best and routinely fall in line with the establishment.

    2024 was no different than 2016. They didn’t listen to their voting base whatsoever because they’d rather have a fascist in charge than give any credence at all to leftist policies, even if it costs them an election. Just look at some of the info coming out about Harris’s campaign, where campaign workers were instructed to consider anyone asking about Gaza as a lost cause and not bother trying to earn their vote.

    The whole party is rotten to the core and needs to be completely dismantled and replaced with an actual far left worker’s party. As it stands right now, the DNC is essentially just a controlled opposition party, even if it’s not entirely intended to be one.

      The DNC is a right-wing party dictatorship

      And we just got the furtherest left chain we’ve had in over 30 years…

      The chair has complete control and no accountability to anyone else.

      and replaced with an actual far left worker’s party.

      And the new chair agrees with you. You don’t even have to take his word, look at what he did as head of Minnesota’s state party

        the new DNC chair just gave us elissa slotkin as trumps speech rebutter. She’s a zionist and menber of the problem solvers coalition (bipartisanship for bipartisanship sake) and new democrat caucus (pro business focus). She’s measured as the most centrist dem there is.

        The new chair is accountable to the same corrupt influences as the last one. We might as well have not appointed a new chair. Ken has to go.

          She also co-sponsored legislation to ban corporate pacs…

          How are her (absolute dog shit) opinions about Israel affect the position she has?
