The joyful Minnesota governor is a valuable spokesperson for Harris whose background and personality can help the Democratic ticket undermine Trumpās efforts to woo Americaās men.
Tim WalzāsĀ first official speechĀ on the Democratic ticket displayed all the reasons thatĀ Kamala HarrisĀ has been lauded for picking the Minnesota governor as her running mate. Personally, I think one outshines all the rest.
Walzās military background and his work as a high school teacher and football coach, along with his palpable joy andĀ open expressions of compassion for people in need, offer America a vision of what manhood can look like ā heās a ājoyful warriorā offering a vision in contrast with whatās being offered by Donald Trumpās bravado-driven campaign.
And heās clearly willing to challenge Team Trump on that front. He displayed that even before he received the call to join Harrisā campaign, using public appearances to refer to Trump and his allies asĀ ābulliesā who are truly weak at heartĀ and by mocking the GOP ticket for ārunning for He-Man Women Haters Club or something.ā
Speaking of shit parents, I think itās relevant that theyāre the first non-boomer candidates (Biden technically isnāt but heās close) since '92.
Just like a millennial is any adult, boomer is now anybody who looks like they need to be in a retirement home. And Biden is absolutely it.
Unfortunately Walz has Boomer look about him. But hopefully heās cool boomer.
Generations are roughly 20 years or so. 92-24 is 32 years.
Its pretty reasonable that over the course of that time, we would move away from the previous generations, finally into Gen X. I would expect this the last time someone from before GenX would be elected, strictly because they will all age out soon.
