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.
I’m not American. but it always seems to me like the Democrats immediately tie themselves in knots trying to meet the Republicans halfway, when everyone knows they have no intention of budging an inch.
It’s like if two people share a meal, one person goes “Should we split this bill 50/50” and the other one just says “No fuck you, you pay 100%.” Then the first person, instead of telling them to fuck off, says “Okay I’ll pay 75%, how’s that?” and the other one just refuses until they eventually pay about 5%, then complain about it for the next year and tell they first person that they still owe them for the 5% they paid.
Then the first person invites them for dinner again.
As an American, you are 100% correct. That’s exactly what’s been done for decades now.
Because very few of them actually represent their working class constituents.
The flaw in your analogy is neither one is paying.
They’re arguing about how much we should pay, even though we only ordered a plain salad and water, and they both had surf and turf and champagne.
The Democrat starts off by saying it should be 1/3 each, but the Republican argues until the Democrat gives in.
The Democrat tells us we have to pay the bill, but they’ll cover the tip if we let them pick the restaurant next time, and we agree.
Then they don’t leave any tip.
It’s been clear for a while both some of the Dems, especially the Dinos are getting money from the same donors as the GOP
