Its because he just seriously did his job. And apparently thats super rare in todays america. He did politics and good policy without it being a media circus. He didn’t do it for attention and visibility. No scandals, no media stunts.
This is what politics shoud be. Not that media circus it is in the US with the goal being to have the most headlines and the most press attention not to make good politics.
My boss and coworker were fangirling when Trump ‘won’ the debate against biden. I’ve legit seen them do the same thing with sports talk. Nevermind that Trump didn’t actually say anything of substance or truthful during all of that. I just didn’t acknowledge them.
To put this into perspective for all you Americans: In my country at least, we don’t have “rallies” at all. It’s not a thing. We have political debates and news broadcasts regularly where politicians from opposing parties are invited to speak their case, that’s it. Of course, parties also have stands in public places where they give out pamphlets and promote their party, but in those places you’ll likely find stands from a bunch of parties.
The way you do campaigning in the US is absurd to me.
There’s actually a lot of great politicians that most people haven’t heard of because they’re too boring for our 24/7 news cycle to care about. Walz has just been quietly being an excellent governor to Minnesota, like how Pritzker is doing a pretty good job as governor of Illinois or how Whitmer is doing a pretty good job as governor of Michigan. There’s not much of a reason to learn about politicians that don’t represent you though, so these kinds of working politicians don’t get much attention.
Dude, where the fuck did they find this guy? I never heard of him and BAM…dude is saintlier than most of the Catholic Church.
It’s not hard to be saintlier than the catholic church. Just don’t systematically abuse kids and you’re good.
Yea, I guess that bar was on the floor there, wasn’t it?
The bar was on the floor and the catholic church picked up a shovel
They had to lower the bar to Hell since some of their saints are there. For example, Mother Teresa’s down there jilling off to torture porn.
I had never seen the term “jilling off” before, thank you.
To answer your question. Minnesota. They found him in Minnesota.
He’s been amazing as our governor. Go check out all the things that were passed in the past two years with a one vote majority.
He tried to pass a bill banning corporations from buying or owning single family homes.
I think the right wing shot it down but what an absolute gigachad.
I’m glad I voted for him. Haha. I’ve been happy with my decision.
I saw your reply in my Inbox and hoped it was a reply on a Walz post and not the Ventura one.
Minnesota strives on effective and non flashy.

The US election circus still is so weird to me, watching from Europe. I get a bit of campaigning but this has sports levels of insanity already.

i think this is just like, legally mandated in the midwest. You just have to be moderately based, at all times.
Yeah, not all of the Midwest; hello from Missouri, home of Hawley, and the RINO hunting ad.
we’ll just retconn those people out, they don’t get to be midwestern.
Maybe “they ain’t from here”
certainly not anymore lol
Lol not in Iowa. It’s right there with Texas and Florida. In some ways even worse.
iowa doesn’t count, it’s slipknot land, that’s one of the two interesting things it’s done in the last century :)
Lmao, what’s the other one? Haha
