What tells us all we need to know about their campaign, is that Trump/Vance can only resort to schoolyard taunts that are couched in lies and fabrications. (Tim W, you'll be proud of me: see how I got the word "couch" in there.)

Let's face it, though, we can expect no better from the MAGA folks than to toss out tawdry insults. As for policies that matter, they wouldn't recognize one if it jumped up and spat in their faces. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, on the other hand, are taking exactly the right approach by ignoring the taunts and staying on message.

Where, however, are the media in all of this? It is their absolute responsibility to call out Trump's lies at every turn. It was sickening to watch reporters lobbing questions to Trump during his recent "press conference" in Florida without challenging the lies with which he responded every single time.

It shows how morally bankrupt most of the media are if the best they can do is to urge Harris and Walz to "move towards the center." Face it, though, that's what their paymasters, the advertisers, want in order to maximize their product sales. He who pays the piper...

The good news is that Harris and Walz are at the vanguard of a movement that is sweeping this country. But the other, the dark side, is nothing more than a cult.

They are far left, Harris has talked about a gun buy back (mandatory) Harris also was being mandated mRNA clot shots into bodies. Walz supports tampons in boys bathroom and will take your kids via the state if you don’t Trans them. This ticket is disgusting and a great representation of the Demtards.

The Washington Post editorial board says Harris Walz are "out of touch" liberals. The MSM has truly lost the plot

Andrew Sullivan and Sam Harris are picking it up as well.

So it looks like a last gasp effort to paint Democrats as hysterical lefties.

The Biden admin has been very middle of the road. I think a lot on the left wishes he was further left

In the course of 12 years in Congress and six as governor, Walz has compiled an absolutely conventional record as a right-wing capitalist politician. He served the agribusiness interests which dominated his rural southern Minnesota district—including giants like Cargill and Hormel. As governor, he did the bidding of the billion-dollar corporations headquartered in the Twin Cities, such as Target, 3M, General Mills, Best Buy, US Bancorp, Xcel Energy and United Health Care. When protests broke out in Minneapolis in 2020, after the police murder of George Floyd shocked the world, Walz sent in the National Guard.

His supposed “progressive” measures, such as making school breakfasts and lunches free, enacted last year after the Democrats gained control of both houses of the state legislature, were similar to the legislation pursued by the Biden administration during 2021–2022, when the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress. The reforms were entirely inadequate, a drop in the bucket compared to actual social needs, and pushed through only to buy time while the administration pursued its real priority, instigating and waging the proxy war against Russia in Ukraine.https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/08/07/ispf-a07.html

This compares Walz to Shapiro, but as Walz goes it is more favorable than what is posted from the WSWS
