History will forever debate whether the Democrats’ decision to usurp Joe Biden with Kamala Harris cost them the 2024 Presidential Election – though to be fair, they were probably going to lose regardless.
In my opinion, Biden should have stuck to his guns as a transition candidate, allowing Harris to announce her presidential campaign long before the President debated Donald Trump on CNN, and exposed his mental fragility. But he didn’t. And the party was forced to promote a radical left candidate who did not win a primary on a manifesto where her only policy was the fact that she “isn’t Donald Trump.”

What may get overlooked, though, is her decision to pick Tim Walz – something she said happened while sleep deprived (is this a politically correct term for “drunk”?)
There are big names within the Democratic Party: Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, and Gretchen Whitmer, for example. She was not short on options. Yet, in an election where her opponent was clearly targeting blur collar males, she chose a bizarrely flamboyant governor who was hardly known outside of his own state.
Walz is not relatable to any man who doesn’t spend their life obsessed with leftist ideology. His most high-profile moment was calling J.D. Vance “weird,” who then turned out to be the more normal of the two by a longshot.
Walz’s unrelatability cost his ticket votes. Not just nationwide but in his own state. In fact, it cost him in his county, which the Democrats lost by 1.3 percentage points.
Dem-friendly pundits said one reason for picking Tim Walz was that he’d appeal to blue-collar guys in the industrial Midwest because they’d identify so much with him. He wears flannel shirts and everything. Kamala lost his home county. https://t.co/b28ALXE6HT

The poor performance led to speculation on social media.
Kamala’s campaign was written by the same people who are behind every woke Hollywood flop in the past 5 years. Walz was a 30-something girl boss’s idea of a midwestern man. The wimpy, effete dad they wanted to push around.

The real reason is that she either couldn’t or wouldn’t pick the jewish guy. The third alternative is that Shapiro saw the writing and told her “No”.

Their problem is that they don’t know anyone that isn’t a coastal elite. They have to imagine what would appeal to them. Everyone needs to get out of NYC every once in a while.

For many, Walz just simply isn’t relatable.
Midwest blue-collar men are repulsed by guys like Walz. Without exception.

I’m not dumping on Tim, but there is no way anyone center-right would identify with this guy. It was square peg for a circle situation. It felt very disconnected to me.

Yeah, Midwest guys love jazz hands

A real blue collar guy doesn’t use tampons, as a matter of fact no men should use tampons.
WHEN THE WALZ RECORD OF TOTAL FAILURE AS MN GOVERNOR BECAME KNOWN, HIS INCOM[PETENCE BECAME TOO MUCH FOR MOST VOTERS TO ACCEPT.
