Supported recreational cannabis decriminalisation I see.

From the link posted by @SerendipityJane ;

"Embracing policies to allow convicted felons to vote, Walz is obsessed with spreading California's dangerously liberal agenda far and wide," the comment states.

New Republic staff writer Alex Shephard was quick to point out Trump is the first U.S. president and Republican nominee to be convicted of felony charges.
"Need to get the campaign's position," Shephard wrote, "but sure seems like they think Florida should strip Donald Trump's voting rights!"

Add that piece of idiocy to Vance's idiotic 'antisemitic' jab at Kamala. They are getting more and more desperate and hopefully will continue to make more and more stupid mistakes. I know the Cult laps it up like cream, but that's not who Harris/Walz is trying to 'woo'. They're looking to attract disaffected Republicans, moderates, and independents, especially in the battleground/swing states and middle America.

I'm good with that, too. I live in a state where Cannabis has been recreationally legal, taxed, and regulated since 2016 with no massive ill effects.

He’s a very interesting choice and not someone who was on my radar at all.

Spandauer · 06/08/2024 20:17

Not just Vance, even Haley has jumped on the anti-Semitic bandwagon.

I'm sure there were plenty of possible Jewish candidates for Trump's VP pick. After all, isn't Trump always going on about how all Jews ought to vote Republican or they hate their religion, or something?

BruceAndNosh · 06/08/2024 21:01

Trumps statement criticising Walz because he supported allowing convicted felons the right to vote is a hilarious own goal by the convicted felon candidate Trump!

If Harris had chosen Shapiro, there would have cries of Jewish takeover, and GEORGE SOROS is behind this!!!

I saw an tv interview with Walz and couple of weeks ago. He has a very good presentation style, easy to listen to, doesn't preach.

I am worried about the Trump Campaign's poor geography. So far they have referred to Walz as "Californian and west coast". Isn't Minnesota slap bang in the middle of the US northern border? So why do they think Walz hasn't a clue what Rural US is like?

Aw bless Vance.
If there is any switcherooing, it is going to be on the Republican ticket...

tobee · 06/08/2024 22:43

Love Walz's dog's expression in that picture!

Spandauer · 06/08/2024 22:47

Shapiro opened the Philadelphia rally for Harris and Walz.

"I'm going to work my tail off to make sure Harris and Walz are the next leaders of America!"

Don't think the anti-Semitic claim is going to gain much traction - Trump and Vance are going to have to come up with a different strategy.

BruceAndNosh · 06/08/2024 22:49

In a video posted to his own X profile in 2023, Walz shared footage of him and his daughter, Hope, at the Minnesota State Fair. In the video, the governor suggests that they get corn dogs after they ride "the Slingshot."
"I'm vegetarian," Hope says.
"Turkey then," Walz responds.
When Hope reminds him that "turkey's meat," Walz shoots back, "Not in Minnesota, turkey's special."

Team Harris-Walz raised a whopping $10,000,000 from grassroots supporters since the announcement of Governor Tim Walz as Kamala Harris's running mate.

Also:
Compare and contrast. (As we know photos can be misleading but Trump makes a big deal about crowd size so I'm happy to accept this evidence 😄)

I read on Twitter that Walz used to accept $ from the NRA. He was graded an A by the NRA and was endorsed by them.

After the Parkland school shootings he donated the NRA payments to a charity and came out in favour of restrictions. Now they've graded him an F.

AcrossthePond55 · 06/08/2024 23:54

Just watched the Harris/Walsh rally. I am a happy camper tonite. Kamala made a very very wise choice!

BustingBaoBun · 07/08/2024 06:26

I watched some of it too. I thought they were on fire!

That's some judo-level backatcha Trump logic there.

This guy will go far.

E2A: What a lovely name: "Hope" - vaguely Victorian.

How could anyone not vote for Harris/Waltz when their opposition is Trump/Couch?

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 07/08/2024 10:05

BruceAndNosh · 07/08/2024 08:28

As discussed earlier, Republicans are laying the ground to ignore any results that don't suit them
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/06/georgia-local-election-boards-allowed-withhold-vote-certification

How can this be negated? Is there a way this can be undone before November? I still feel Democrats should be shouting loud about this even if there is nothing they can do to prevent it, so that every voter will be aware.

Thinking again, I had foolishly forgotten about Gaza.
