Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) said one reason he was chosen as former Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate in the recent election was because he could “code talk to white guys watching football” and “fixing their truck.”

If their goal was to get those votes they should have said their plan was to win and then have Kamela step down for Walz to become president. Unless the whole thing about Kamela being the only one who could legaly be listed as canidate for president was a lie. There was never going to be a win with an african american woman if they needed the votes from the retardicans..

True but this if is doing a lot of the heavy lifting. The Democrats never needed Republican voters to win; it's just their excuse for cockblocking progressives.
