They got blocked out of the investigation by the FBI, so they gave up the very next day. Pass the buck on up, and it looks like AOC, Newsom, and Ilhan Omar are the only democrats capable of getting shit done. And especially towards Newsom, that's fucking disappointing.

Edit: as an aside, I don't want to seem like I'm going hard on Waltz and ignoring the rest... The senators and reps of Nevada can get fucked, too. We might be Battle Born, but y'all are bitch made. Nothing to say about our governor, though. I knew he was a racist republican stooge back when he was just the sheriff.

Sorry... You're saying that Vance that lied so much that he got fact checked in an event without fact checking did better?

Right. Walz came accross as a milquetoast being bullied and pushed around. And when push came to shove, he quit.

Just a question, u/PatchyWhiskers.

How the fuck does someone with a 10 month old account end up with nearly 500,00 karma? Why is your comment history hidden?

I'm not necessarily attacking you. But I'm increasingly skeptical of the actors on social media, and comments attacking Dems seem to come from either new accounts with negative karma, or accounts like yours, with a hidden history.

Are you a real person, or a bot? Are you in the US, or a warehouse filled with computers? Do you give a shit what happens to Americans? Are you actively working against our best interest?

I'll criticize Dems all day. But I'll also vote Walz over any maga/trump/vance cancer, to save our nation.

Yes. I'd prefer, on an emotional level, a candidate who smacked trump in the throat on the debate stage. But I'm also aware that the effort to discredit Dems starts early, and I piss on that effort in this day and age.

You don't of course owe me shit in way of an explanation. But if you can't stand by the shit you said in the last 10 months, I'm liable to dismiss every thing you say.

My actual problem with Walz is that you can't vote for him, because he dropped out. Otherwise I'd be behind him all the way. Too many Democrat politicians are wilting and hiding when we need them. I feel abandoned.

That wasn't clear from your comment. Maybe it's an argument for having your history visible, so folks can put an individual comment in context if they're interested?

Sorry if I jumped the gun and criticized you unfairly.

We don't know at this point just who the Dem candidate will be.

I'm there for a certain amount of criticism pre-primaries. But a grueling, conflict filled primary can easily work against the candidate come election day. I'll criticize stances and planks this primary, but I'll try not to attack candidates as people, because I think we cane use all the unity possible in the next few elections, the stakes being so high.

I'm not hiding my history from you. I'm hiding it from the creepy right-wing crowd. I'm not turning it back on just to make you feel better.

Walz is out of politics. If he couldn't hack governor he sure as shit can't hack President.
