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.
This headline is trash. He’s saying we wouldn’t be in this mess if they’d won. The headline makes it sound like he’s taking much more blame than his actual quote implies.
I read it as “we didn’t win because we didn’t try hard enough.”
He states pretty clearly that democrats need to offer more than just not being another person.
It’s unfortunate because he was definitely not the problem.
Absolutely. Harris didn’t do a single thing to show she was any different than a piece of paper with talking points on it. She did nothing to inspire anyone of anything.
On their other hand, when Tim Walz spoke, I was fucking screaming in my parent’s basement critical support to him. lmfao He fucking got me going, I would have rallied behind that dude.
But no, no progress, only centrist democratic bullshit as the entire country gets pulled out from under us
When they sidelined him and started campaigning with the Cheneys, any blame was taken off of him.
They muzzled him despite the fact that calling Republicans “weird” was working.
