Tim Walz is ideally suited to expand Kamala Harris’ appeal across the ideological spectrum.

    Dude got nominated like an hour ago. How are they putting out articles like this?

    Like the average person ain’t even got home from work on the east coast.

      They are preloaded and ready to go. They probably have other articles in the can for the other names that were being considered as well.

      It might also surprise you to know that major news networks pre-tape celebrity obituaries just in case that person dies.

      Because it’s Zach Beauchamp and he essentially hates the left.

      I know everyone is giving you tidy, case-solving “it’s-always-like-this” responses, but indeed you are on to something.

      Let the anti-anti corporate work begin (Walz and Harris being the [somewhat] anti-corporate).

        Hmm… are you talking about Zack Beauchamp? Or someone else with publications that represent what you’re saying?

        But whatever, facts don’t matter here, considering how many comments want to trash this article (without reading past the title :) )

      Well, he didn’t just crawl out of a hole, he has a record. The article is making the claim that he has the potential to bring together different elements of the democratic party, which ultimately is the party of everyone else that isn’t voting Trump. This is a big tent with a lot of perspectives, and while democrats are largely united against Trump, that doesn’t inherently mean they’re just as united behind the candidate (as we just saw), and those kind of things are ripe for Republicans to pick at and promote infighting.
