As a Minnesotan I'm a little sad that he's going to be VP. But I understand. He's been a great governor. Any person that the conservatives give a shitty nickname, you know is doing a great job. Who knew checks notes making sure school children are being fed is such a controversial issue.
The upside for Minnesotans is that this could lead to Peggy Flanagan becoming the new governor, and she sounds reassuringly progressive.
Seems like a good dude.
So there’s been a lot of progressive changes (weed, abortion, LGBTQ,) and he’s been working that here.
He genuinely cares about people and absolutely will be a great VP.
Edit: and you know the whole “Trump is weird” thing? He started that. (Well as a campaign thing.)
How did it start? I'm not American so I only get to see the reactions to newspieces commenting that Republicans are hating the weird thing, but have no idea how it's being used.
He was giving an interview with some tv thing and commented that trump is weird and people started running with it
Not actually a lot there. Mostly because that’s just Walz… being honest.
Told yah all. I'm gonna go kick her another $30
my house just put in $50. would likely not have scraped the barrel for that and done just the usual local/state donations.
see, dems... this is how you juice up your base and get the grass roots hands/feet/wallet support flowing.
now fucking win and fucking deliver. our children are out of time.
Better choice than Shapiro
He’s got a pretty solid flavor of vanilla. Good choice, Kamala
He she?
Walz 60
He doesn't look a day over 75.
Reading the article though he sounds like a good pick
Minnesotan here, been very pleased with the direction of policy and commitment to constituents he's had. Bummed he won't be the gov when he's VP but that's just me being a little selfish.
That's great to hear. I'm not American, but you can't sleep next to an elephant, and not feel when it moves. What happens south of our border definitely influences Canadians, and even their politics. I earnestly hope Harris takes it. She's got a lot of buzz around her: way more than Biden ever did. She's a legitimately solid candidate - something we would kill for up here.
Kinda sad we don't get an astronaut vp but that's alright
Walz is more progressive than Kelly.
You win some you loose some 🤷
Agreed, but...
LOSE
Man the english language makes no sense.
the sound in lose is the same sound as we are taught “oo” makes.
Couldn’t a more straightforward language be chosen as the global one ffs
My father (who had a PhD in English) used to tell me that "ghoti" was pronounced "fish"
GH as in rouGH
O as in wOmen
TI as in raTIon
That isn't really consistent with English orthography.
But you can write "pfysche", and that would be consistent with English.
Here's a poem you might enjoy: https://ncf.idallen.com/english.html
Silly poem showing its age,
Made has not the sound of bade,
Made totally sounds like bade
Ooh, also its accent, this is not a thing couplet for me
Discount, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward,
Nor it's immediate predecessor,
Banquet is not nearly parquet,
Which exactly rhymes with khaki.
Parquet isn't in my vocabulary, but doesn't seem to rhyme with khaki in any common dialect either way.
There's also loose and they sound the same but mean different things.
Loose is when your pants is too wide.
Lose is when the pants were so wide that you lost them.
They don't sound the same at all though.
Lose - looze
Loose - luice
Interesting, I didn't know that. FYI, there's the phonetic transcription that saves us from using other words to describe a pronunciation.
luːz - lose
luːs - loose
