“We got to be honest in what happened, because losing elections has consequences,”
said Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Harris’ running mate,
during a rousing speech Saturday afternoon.
“We’re in this mess because some of it’s our own doing. … None of us can afford to shy away from having hard conversations about what it’s going to take to win elections.”
Walz, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, said Democrats don’t need to retreat from their ideals,

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei saying the quiet part out loud in a CNN interview about impending job losses due to AI:

dieser tage ist von demokratie hundertmal mehr die rede als von revolution.
das ist bei der in der aktuellen veränderung des weltklimas und dessen folgen & ursachen, für die meisten vermutlich eine zukunft in elend oder tod.

“There’s real opportunity for us, but that means we have to take advantage of it. Arkansas is really an important part of the calculus"…

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says Democrats need to take a page from Donald Trump’s own playbook.
“Maybe it’s time for us to be a little meaner,” the former vice presidential hopeful said during a speech at the South Carolina Democratic Party’s annual convention in Columbia, South Carolina.
“Maybe it’s time for us to be a little more fierce because we have to ferociously push back on this.”
“When it’s a bully like Donald Trump, you bully the s--t out of him,” Walz added
