I was sure it was going to be professional genocide ghoul Shapiro. Color me surprised.
I’m having a really hard time finding something to complain about this pick.
I think he’s definitely the least bad of the options she was picking from (which is, again, shocking), but he’s still no leftist or even SocDem. His handling of the George Floyd protests in Minneapolis was abysmal. He’s just not a rabid genocide cheerleader or a finance ghoul.
He did the brutal crackdown on Minneapolis.
Governor Tim Walz activated the Minnesota National Guard in response to civil unrest. The 7,123 troops activated represented the largest deployment of the state’s forces since World War II.[35] By early June 2020, violence in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area had resulted in at least two deaths,[36] 604 arrests, and more than $500 million[7] in damage to approximately 1,500 properties, the second-most destructive period of local unrest in U.S. history, after the 1992 Los Angeles riots.[37][8][38][39] Violent protests in Minneapolis–Saint Paul over Floyd’s murder largely subsided after May 30, 2020.[30][40] The Minnesota National Guard and a multi-jurisdiction government command that responded to the riots demobilized on June 7, 2020.[41][35]
walz isn’t a cop just a liberal bootlicker
Not that the distinction is really that meaningful here
Edit: oh right he was in the national guard. Not deployed to civil unrest that I’ve seen but
look up his record on uber/lyft driver protections, hospital staffing bill, calling in the national guard after george floyd
Nothing any other dem wouldn’t have also done, tbh, but he is still a dem, there’s plenty to be mad about
And yet, Republicans are attacking him for being soft on George Floyd protests. Fascists…
Walz was IN the national guard for like 25 years and had them fuckin occupy minneapolis for ages afterward (I saw online claims that they demobilized within 2 weeks but I visited during that summer and they were still shacked up outside the convention center which I think was their base of operations.)
libs and chuds alike have no conception of reality on issues like this unless they directly experience it. It’s all vibes based and heavily influenced by right wing news
