Tim Walz names the three mistakes Democrats made in the last election
Story by Joe Sommerlad • 6h


Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who ran as Kamala Harris’s vice presidential nominee on the Democratic ticket in last year’s election, has identified three key areas that he believes their campaign failed to address, leading to the party’s disastrous defeat to Donald Trump and JD Vance in November.
 
Speaking to The Washington Post after a “People’s Town Hall” event in Youngstown, Ohio, on Monday, Walz said he believed the Democratic mission to stop Trump floundered because they failed to reach Latino voters, did not do enough to acknowledge voters’ anger about the war in Gaza and did not have a sufficiently agile media strategy.

“People ran what they had in the moment, what they thought was best, but I do think it’s irresponsible to not look back and say, ‘OK, what could we do to win?’ Walz told the Post.

“It’s not enough to blame something else. I don’t blame the voters. I blame: What did we not do? I put my suggestions out there. If those aren’t the ones that are chosen, I work as hard as I can for the ones that were.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Old naive me thought their three biggest mistakes were Biden, Waltz, and Harris. :tongue2:
