Sane and clear thinking people everywhere have already declared Tim Walz the winner.
-
Your first answer actually kind of sucks, Governor Walz.
-
Vance pulled a Harris 😂
Stated well I come from a “working-class family” 😂
-
Vance killed it with his first answer.
Vance 1 - Walz 0
-
Fairly impressed we’re 5 minutes in and Vance hasn’t gone off the rails yet.
-
Vance’s eyes are haunting.
-
Vance’s eyes are haunting.
They do look devilish…
-
Fairly impressed we’re 5 minutes in and Vance hasn’t gone off the rails yet.
Walz has been the one that’s lost his cool first so far…
-
Walz looks stressed out. He pressing.
-
Vance is right. These fact checks are not facts.
-
So far…
Vance 3, Walz 1
-
So far…
Vance 3, Walz 1
Vance 3, Walz 2
-
You ain’t gonna win on the economy Walz, you’re boosting Trump and Vance right now.
-
Vance 5, Walz 2
-
Walz knows his stuff, but he doesn't have the reptile presence of Vance.
-
Walz does seem like a likable and honest guy, but he does fit the self-proclaimed “knucklehead” moniker.
-
Vance 5, Walz 3
-
Walz just said he became friends with school shooters 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
-
Vance is really good at this.
-
Damn, Vance is kicking Walz ass now. Wow.
-
Walz is looking dumb now on housing.
-
Bad look by Walz agreeing with everything Vance is saying on childcare. Even if he agrees it’s a terrible look because it undermines his and Harris campaign.
-
Vance is really really good at this. He won this debate hands down. Much like Harris did better than most thought, Vance did the same in this one.
-
Best line I saw, “Tim Walz may end up voting for JD Vance.”
😂

You know it didn't go well since Tempo bailed.
-
Walz looked really bad about lying about being in China and was actually in Nebraska.
-
You know it didn't go well since Tempo bailed.
I tried to be as fair as possible. Vance was really impressive.
-
Vance won the debate on style, but Walz found his stride on Jan. 6th, ACA, abortion care, and Springfield OH
I doubt this will move the needle either way. It would've had to have been a huge blowout to have an impact.
This also looked more like what a presidential debate should look like. We haven't had a serious presidential debate since 2012.
-

I do appreciate them respecting each other.
I still think Walz votes for Trump 😂
-
I do miss the diplomacy of 2012 debates and think that should be the norm. There is an old Black Mirror episode—one of the first I believe—that basically foreshadowed the Trump rise to power.
-
FWIW I didn’t see a second of this because I forgot it was even on.
-
I heard it was a civil debate. Walz stumbled early. Vance stumbled late. Who won depends on who you support. I have it recorded.
-
Vance's campaign incidents can't be helping.
He does a staged a photo op whining about $4.00 a dozen eggs; in front of display case of eggs priced at $2.99 a dozen.
He goes to the place credited with originating the Philly Cheese Steak, and complained they don't offer Swiss cheese.
He held a planned campaign rally at a restaurant. After everyone had been seated and placed orders, he finds out photographers and campaign weren't allowed at that restaurant.
-

Vance won that and I think about 99% of people would agree on that. Politics aside.

These things are being served up to you in a way that aren’t to most people who might consider voting for him
-
flash poll conducted by CBS News and YouGov.
Roughly equal shares of debate-watchers scored JD Vance (42 percent) and Tim Walz (41 percent) the winner, the poll showed. The remaining 17 percent called it a tie.
-
Bad look by Walz agreeing with everything Vance is saying on childcare. Even if he agrees it’s a terrible look because it undermines his and Harris campaign.
He should say “tonight JD Vance is pretending to be a democrat. If he’s elected he won’t pretend and won’t deliver”
-
FWIW I didn’t see a second of this because I forgot it was even on.
I got some stupid e-mail about it, I could not possibly care less about those two dorks and whatever they have to say
Plus it was bowling night dammit!
-
You know it didn't go well since Tempo bailed.
I was helping my kid do his homework, readying him for bed, and took a nap before heading out for work, Mr. Democrat.
I bailed on the debate 10 minutes in.
-
I watched the first handful of minutes, and caught a couple short minutes around the middle. I was impressed that Vance didn’t seem to be making a lunatic of himself. I was disappointed with Walz in what I saw, I thought Walz would spank him mercilessly.

The red meat for right wing you are being served up, isn't being served up to the mainstream..
Walz was elected in 2019 and rejected [reelected] in 2023.
His approval rating as governor is still over 50%.

You're just crying because the Vikes are 4-0 paying Sam Darnold jackshit, and the Bears are paying zillions to a poor man's Justin Fields

Guessing he meant re-elected.

Pretty sure he doesn’t care. I believe he’s at the point he wants them to
be bad so he can feel justified in his cynicism.
-
why was he rejected?
Reelected. The AI or whatever overruled me.
The meta AI at FB is getting obnoxious. I told it to go fuck itself. It said it would be there if I needed it.

Rather, I have noticed it with my own two eyes having been traveling there with some regularity for 20 years now, and lots of other people have noticed it too. Used to be a beautiful downtown that’s now mostly an empty shithole. When’s the last time you were there?

Hopefully the Somalians there have not eaten Mn.

Mn would still tell us all to go fuck ourselves. God bless him.

I’ve been there 4-5 times over the last 20 years. Unlike you, I don’t judge a city by a visit, or posts on social media. All cities have their challenges. It’s been that way pretty much since the industrial revolution. But they sure do make for good political fodder in the right-wing echo chamber on Twitter.
Meanwhile in East Tennessee:
Factory employees clung desperately to a truck before Helene floodwaters swept them away

All cities have their challenges. MSP has very acute challenges that were entirely preventable.
I’m not judging by a visit. I’m judging by many visits over a long period of time. The dozens of Minnesotans I know and work with personally hate what’s become of their twin cities. Mn surely does and I think he’s probably in a much better position to evaluate the situation that you are.
Maybe you like burned out urban hellscapes where vibrant downtowns and neighborhoods were just a few short years ago. In fact, you and the rest of the hardcore left must love it, otherwise enjoying a clean vibrant downtown wouldn’t be a right wing thing.

OK, so we went out in Oakland last week. 23rd and Broadway.
https://www.parcheoak.com/
The restaurant was packed - my buddy was very clear, if you are in, you're in, if you might not be able to make it, you're out. There is a cancellation fee on reservations, because they are always full.
Then we went to the Oakland Whiskey Library
https://oaklandwhiskeylibrary.com/
My buddy used to be a member, but he wasn't using it a lot so we just handed the bartender a 50, we know the guy from various bars in DT Oakland he's worked at before. Had some whiskey with Darnell, I'm sure you would have hated to drink with Darnell because well, he's black, and them blacks are making the cities hellscapes with their whole defund the police blacks lives matter bullshit. Darnell has a private locker there, he availed us of some of his stuff.
We walked by the Fox Theatre AND the Paramount. Picked up some tickets for Modest Mouse in early November, Snow Patrol in March, and we're on the fence about Primus on Dec 31.
Now... my buddy was also very clear. Absolutely nothing left in the car - it might get broken into.
Well yes, you have to make some adjustments if you live in the city to take advantage of all they have to offer. Or you can live in the boondocks and eat at Olive Garden and Joe's Cover Band at the Pizza Hut.
Either choice is fine. Some people like Olive Garden. it's a free country. You don't like the City - don't live in the City.
-
It gets fucking cold in Minneapolis. Like, really fucking cold.
no hurricanes though
-
Did you have a discussion with Darnell about how he's responsible for being black and screwing up cities?
You could always retract it.
-
no hurricanes though
Maybe a few raindrops, depending on how it tracks. And a breeze. But yeah, I wouldn't expect hurricane damage.
-
Did you have a discussion with Darnell about how he's responsible for being black and screwing up cities?

Nope. Told Darnell my wife has cousins who own a distillery and I'm getting him a bottle for Colin the barkeep to put in his locker
-
So, nothing to retract then.
-
Congratulations! You’ve supplanted Mn as our window into the "micro-furies" swirling about the right-wing echo chamber.
If lamenting the downfall of once great cities is right wing and pretending it hasn’t been happening because it might entail looking in the mirror is left wing, then yeah you’re right

STRAWMAN ALERT: Nobody here is pretending that big cities don't have problems.
"Downfall"= Hyperbole

Nothing lower income taxes, less regulation, fewer immigrants, less welfare, more police, school choice, high tariffs, and so on won't fix.

What, specifically, am I claiming that you don’t believe to be true? You haven’t been recently, you don’t believe me, you don’t believe third party video footage and eye witness descriptions of what’s happening, and all you do is get mad because I’m pointing it out. These cities aren’t what they were 10 or 20 years ago. Policy has played a significant role in that.
You have chosen to stick your head in the sand and simply say “cities have problems” as if this is normal and not newsworthy, and that’s fine. Actually no, it’s not fine. It’s giving shitty politicians a free pass because they wear your team colors then spending all your time bitching about ancillary issues you don’t like about a guy who isn’t even in power.

I've been in the Bay Area 20 years. SF is better than it was 20 years ago. More homeless in tents, *less* open air drug dealing. Petty crime, about the same.
Concert scene, restaurant scene, public event scene - much better.
The only problem is that - housing prices have gone up. A lot. Hint: that only happens if demand to live in a place increases.
Ditto Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento

Oakland is a FUCKING SHITHOLE
Visited a friend who lives very close to that parch oak joint you were talking about (at the broadway apartments), and holy fucking hell, its the Detroit of California and that's putting it nicely
I was flabbergasted that he was paying $4400 a month to live in a tiny 2 bedroom apartment in that cesspool
my god man

Dude you live in Reno.
It's not just a running meme, I've spent a lot of time in Reno, during the blackjack team, when I'd be working on the house, if I was going up and the house was rented.
That downtown area near the Cal-Neva was sketchier than 16th/Mission in SF at it's worst in '96. For some reason we had gone to the Rail City Casino in Sparks, there was word of an exploitable video poker promo or something, we quickly decided that if we played for any reasonable stakes, we'd get rolled before we could get back to the car, and we hightailed it out of there. We pretty much decided - if you have your bankroll with you, valet park at Silver Legacy, Peppermill, Atlantis, or Ascuaga's Nugget, and stick with the plan. We went up for a bowling tourney and the league had got us rooms at some place that appears to no longer exist, The Sands or something like that. I checked in, checked out, went to the Legacy and got a room, the place was full of random homeless dudes who had panhandled a few bucks and were playing penny slots trying to angle a free beer.
Now - last time I was up there, after waiting for like 90 minutes to get a rental car at the Reno Airport while some fellas who whose mental card decks were missing all the aces and face cards and whose mouths were missing several teeth tried to figure out that the Black Chevy Surbuban was for me, I did stop to get a few things at 580 and the Mt Rose Highway. There's a lot of new development there (full disclosure, I hadn't been up there for a while and had no idea they had built 580). I'm not much for McMansions, but it's a pretty nice area, clearly.
Oakland is many times the size of Reno/Sparks. Houses in the Oakland Hills go for many millions, Piedmont, Rockridge, those are very wealthy areas. Downtown is a definitely a jumble, but there's a lot to do, you just need to know how to navigate it. Just like Reno occasionally has some good concerts at the resorts. Sure there are some areas out on MLK that are alsmost as bad as the rougher areas of Sparks.

I went to a nice restaurant downtown, not to the oakland hills country club.
I also have to laugh a bit, remember I go to Osage Beach Missouri every year, definitely not a "city", in a "non-blue state"
The funny thing about the show "Ozark" is that it undersells how much crazy stuff goes on around there. Whatever you want to say about the Bay Area, at least we don't put strip clubs across the street from Middle Schools. But you go to Margaritaville, and it's a nice resort with expensive boats, there are million dollar houses on the lake, etc... it's just the gardener is on meth.

Quite a bit has changed here in 30 years lol
The worst areas of downtown are around the casinos (including the peppermill and the atlantis to the south), and east 4th street which is currently undergoing some gentrification and a brewery district is going up. They even shut down one of the crappy homeless shelters there, but even still not many areas of town you have to worry about your car being broken into.
The Sands is now the J resort, and Jacobs entertainment is investing a billion dollars cleaning up west 4th street and turning it into the "neon district"
An area of cool shit (with a lot of stuff like downtoan Oakland has) exists in reno now just south of town called Midtown. Walkable, mostly nice area with lots of restaurants and bars and entertainment.
That rental car story is hilarious but could happen anywhere really lol, can't say those places hire the brightest bulbs
The areas off of Mt Rose highway like Montreaux, the cheapest house there is 2 million dollars, even the metro average for a house is 600k, so clearly something has changed since the mid 90's lol... my house is just inside the McCarran loop in the hills and its hard to find a house there for under a mil, and that was considered the outskirts of town when it was built in 1988
There are definitely some less desirable spots full of trailer trash like Sun Valley, but even Sparks has a pretty low crime rate compared to Oakland lol.
And you're right, we typically get good comedians but bands are hit or miss, I did see Smashing Pumpkins two weeks ago at the GSR and had a great time. Never been so close to the stage when I'd see them elsewhere, I was like 10 feet away from the band, god damn they look old lol

I don't think this is agreeing on something as much as appreciating a post that has a lot of good information.

Glad someone in the left wing news sphere is calling this out.
“It’s ok if our people lie, at least they aren’t Trump!” seems to be the consensus from Democrats, but is that a healthy stance? What a sick system.

The problem with your post is that Scott Jennings isn't left-wing. As for the rest, why you picking on Tempo's lying guy?

I specifically said “in the left wing news sphere”, —not left winger—since he’s someone on CNN speaking to left wing cohosts and viewers.

There appear to be plenty of articles out there about Tempo's Guy Walz being a lying sack of shit on "mainstream" news sources that I have seen. I cannot say if they are regurgitated on The Twotter or not.

This should be the meteor election. Well the third one in a row, actually.

I think Walz did a shitty job pointing this out ...
Vance says that the Democrats "protested the 2016 election, said it was stolen, etc... because the Russians bought 500k in facebook ads"
Saying "The Russians interfered" doesn't say "the election was stolen". The Russians actually did that shit, if that actually turned the election that's a sign that Americans are shitheads, more so that the Russians are some evil puppet masters.
Trump and his ilk are out there saying that the Democrats trucked in 50 million dead illegal aliens to vote, paid off the voting companies to flip the votes, were carrying out ballot boxes under cover of darkness - all of this untrue and then stomed the fucking capital.
Clinton and Obama were at the inauguration of Trump. Trump took his toys and fled DC. By toys, I mean boxes of National secrets. Sure Hillary was pissed about the Russian shit, and this whole collusion thing fluttered about, but here we have Vance on stage who comes up with some sort of word salad when asked "Did Biden win the election?" - when he KNOWS that Biden won the election, he just won't say it because Trump's rabid followers are brainwashed and he doesn't want to go off that script.
Walz did say "Jan 6 was not Facebook ads", but I don't think he rebuked Vance's whataboutism strongly enough.

I’ve not kept up as closely as I typically would. Do we know he wasn’t actually there? What lies are we mad about?

I have no doubt Democrats sometimes lie or massage the truth. But comparing right-wing bs left-wing lies is like comparing Trump’s penthouse skyscraper to Harris’ DC townhouse.
Sorry, but the right-wing disinformation machine is just an entity of its own these days.

Yet proof was just shown about the extent Democrats went in 2016 regarding the disinformation. Weird how that’s not a big deal but every little thing the big scary Republicans do is the worse thing on Earth. No outrage that Democrats are a threat to democracy or rigging an election. Weird, huh?!

As someone who’s been completely disillusioned with politics for a few years now, I’m not familiar with this proof. What is the proof?
