This is the ideal progressive ticket, IMO. It’s not as scary for the mid as having a female President (grow the fuck up, guys), but she’ll still be able to provide her support and opinion far above her current station. People seem to really like Tim, which is great.
But in the end none of it matters. They’re all historically pro-Israel and people don’t forget that. They’ve begun to change their tune, but only just now. It seems disingenuous to get votes, which just seems…hollow.
Not sure I read your comment right, but are you saying. That Tim Walz’s and AOC’s support for Israel is the single-issue that’s stopping Democrats - or at the very least Walz/AOC - from winning elections?
AOC is not pro Israel. She has broken rank and voted against the Israel issue over and over. She is also one of the few politicians on either side who rejects money from AIPAC.

I mean, if it were that easy…

Yeah that’s what I thought. I’m just not sure the guy above me was aware of that.
It’s a sanity check.
