Summary

Former vice presidential nominee Tim Walz criticized Trump for economic chaos while taking personal responsibility for the situation during an MSNBC interview.

“We wouldn’t be in this mess if we’d have won the election — and we didn’t,” Walz told Chris Hayes. He called Trump the “worst possible business executive” and praised the Wall Street Journal’s editorial criticizing Trump’s tariff war.

Walz emphasized Democrats must offer something better, not just criticize Trump. Recently, he acknowledged a leadership void in the Democratic Party and admitted spending too much time combatting Trump’s false claims about immigrants.

    Yeah a bunch of people want to make excuses for 90 million people who just… Didn’t think it was important who won.

    Campaign was flawed but if people showed up to vote against fascism we wouldn’t be here. And there’s zero excuse for all 90 million of them to not show up.

    Edit- well, Im reading your post in a different light but, yes that too.

        Funny, I noticed they were the only ones running campaigns with a legitimate change of winning against the fascists.

          Talking about winning against fascism and actually doing something or not the same thing, they talk a big game and then end up capitulating to Republicans.

            Winning elections is the only way to keep power from the hands of fascists that doesn’t involve extralegal actions.
