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.

    I’m not opposed to pushback.

    I’m opposed to pushback that also pushes out queers and anyone that doesn’t match the corporate/centrist definition of normal.

    Pushback against the nazis, not against “weird”.

    Be weird and proud.

      Sure, I base weird off of whether people empathize and respect others so I don’t consider LGBT+ weird. I find someone who wants to take rights weird, not people just being themselves

        Weird is a compliment. It means you are willing to be yourself in the face of broken societal standards.

        Someone who wants to take the rights of others isn’t weird. The word you’re looking for is “evil” or “selfish” or “authoritarian”.

          Sure, I don’t subscribe to the conservative framing of societal standards and I won’t normalize their framing

          I call them fascist, personally, but the Democratic Party is too scared too.
