Tim Walz is not embarrassed to actually be for working people

and I am here for it. For so long we've had a Democratic party that seems to be about half ashamed to just be blatantly on the side of workers. As if they could campaign on things that would be good for the common people, but it was all a little embarrassing and kind of beneath them and needed to be couched in terms that were more palatable to rich donors and not emphasized and kept under wraps.

And now here is Walz, unapologetic, unembarrassed, fully aware of how good and wholesome and RIGHT his politics are. Propelled by the self-evident need of the populace to have some things, finally, break in their direction after the rich have had it all or mostly all their way for decades. You can just hear it in his voice, as he says things that break over the crowds and energize people because of the TRUTH in what he is saying.

And the icing on the cake is that it is coming from a non-billionaire. I give FDR a lot of credit for what he managed to do for this country coming from the upper class. But a true working class person, with the knowledge of what people are actually facing in their day to day lives - that is a real treasure. A big thank you to Kamala for recognizing the potential power of Walz's approach and viewpoint and giving him this chance.
