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.
Biden made an appropriate decision to back out. He should have done it much sooner. But I’m not sure I would characterize the failings of Harris/Walz as Biden’s fault. I don’t really feel that’s fair.
Harris’ main draw was that she didn’t want to do anything, which pissed off progressives. She was pro-establishment and pro-status quo. She didn’t need Biden’s help to not get votes… I have no love for Biden, but the truth is the truth.
Inasmuch as they ran as a continuation of his policy, I’d say there’s some blame to be had.
So you’re saying that two adults chose to run an unpopular and non-working Biden “plan” which was proven to not work, and that’s also Bidens fault because two completely unrelated people decided to also use that plan?
Does your brain not work?
They used his blueprint. He bears some responsibility.

If biden hadn’t been such a mildewy dishrag of a president, his VP might have won. Now insult me more since it’s all centrists do when people expect better of them.
And again this is about you hating Biden. Which is fine, hate him. But how long are you going to blame everything on him like a petulant child?
Next week when you stub your toe you’re going to blame him?
His Vice President chose to run for office. She chose the platform that she chose to run with. It wasn’t Joe Biden’s platform it wasn’t even loosely tangential to Joe Biden’s platform. But it’s his fault in your eyes because you feel that she stole his platform…
Go back and reread my anecdote about the police. You made it even more relevant.
When he bears responsibility, I will blame him. If that pisses off his worshipers, good. Running as a continuation of biden’s unpopular presidency lost.
What daylight existed between her and biden? Because the line I kept hearing whenever anyone suggested she move to his left on anything was that she was his VP and she couldn’t differ from him.
For like the third time, I have absolutely no love for Biden. I didn’t vote for him, I don’t like him.
But this is just you acting like a petrol in child because you don’t like him and seemingly want to blame everything under the sun on him. If you don’t even have the wherewithal to identify that behavior in yourself then clearly you’re not a reasonable person.
Biden didn’t choose her running strategy. He didn’t tell her to use his strategy. She’s a full grown fucking adult. You have to literally be a child to believe that your own behavior isn’t your own fault. And I mean that genuinely and sincerely. You’re acting like a child.
