This dude is the guy everyone pretended Bernie was. I still love Bernie and am glad for his politics but Walz has a kind of dad charisma you can't replicate
??? Maybe Bernie’s supporters cared about his policies more than his lack of dad charisma lmao
I don't think anyone disagrees with that, its just elections in the US are partly vibes based, which I would say is a source of many problems
I certainly did, but that's how far the bar has fallen since 2016. I'll take any functioning adult at this point. Policy is gravy.
The only real policy differences between them exist about ten miles outside the Overton window in the US. Bernie calls himself a Democratic socialist, but caucuses with progressive harm reduction liberals like Waltz. Even Bernie acknowledges that there will likely never be democratic support for true socialist policies in his lifetime, so that part of his politics have always been largely symbolic.
