This isn't weird at all, lol 😝🔨

This picture is just oozing with WINNING. From the points made, to that bottom right where the economy is up.

Whoever thought this was on Brand for Fox must have gotten canned.

I feel like they intentionally fucked with the kerning on the font in his name to give the illusion that it looks Cyrillic.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, is this a tankee???

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip -1 points 4 months ago

Not to totally shit on everyone's parade (because this is going to get hate from everyone probably), but not that far off. The term tankie was used as an insult to leftists who defended communist dictatorship's use of tanks to attack (and kill) protesters. Walz did deploy the national guard to attack protesters during the George Floyd protests. Not a tank though as far as I'm aware.

This is misinformation. The USSR was not communist and its supporters are not leftists.

Thanks for letting us know about Walz' deployment of the national guard against BLM protesters tho, I checked it out thanks to you and it's true. I also read in the same article that Walz put George's killer in prison, so he seems like a mixed bag. Definitely better than what passes for the bare minimum in American politics.

Yeah, I generally like him. That one thing isn't ideal, but there is no politician I agree with totally. I think he's a good choice.

[-] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Walz confirmed tanki. Kamala has the leftist vote on lock.

I think the issue is with debt. Both parties are positioning themselves as populists and are going to increase spending but the money has to come from somewhere.

In the fiscal year of 2022, Minnesota's state debt stood at about 17.75 billion U.S. dollars. Comparatively, the state's debt was approximately 5.6 billion U.S. dollars in 2000.Jul 5, 2024

These stats mean absolutely nothing and give zero context with how you've presented them, and you couldn't be bothered to clean up your comment when you copy/pasted or give a link so others could follow.

How does this compare to the average increase of debt in other states? What kind of increase in budget did his programs add compared to other programs states initiate? What kind of impact or votes did Walz conduct that actually affected the budget and in what years?

Debt increases, we get no new programs. Minnesota's debt increases, they get free school lunches, healthcare products, etc etc. Not really a convincing argument presented here or anything to even have a conversation about.

Your voting is showing. Debt is the short-attention fixation of the greedy.

[-] AidsKitty@lemmy.world -3 points 4 months ago

What is my vote? How is it showing? Debt is a major concern in the USA with the highest debt to gdp ratio that has ever existed. We exist in a high inflation environment so running large social programs will exacerbate inflation and harm everyone.
