Summary
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’ 2024 running mate, has suggested he may run for president in 2028.
Reflecting on the Democrats’ loss to Donald Trump and JD Vance, he admitted: “A large number of people did not believe we were fighting for them in the last election – and that’s the big disconnect.”
Walz said his life experience, rather than ambition, would guide his decision.
Though his VP campaign was marred by gaffes, he remains open to running if he feels prepared.
She’s pro-capitalism which makes her right wing. But she’s not even a leftist in colloquial US terms, she’s very pro police and anti medicare for all.
capitalism is right wing if you’re schizophrenic.
You can be politically left and economically right, or some weird combination of the two.
There are three primary forms of political alignment, social, governmental, and economic. These are all roughly isolated, but tend to work together. You can be any combination of any political belief of any three of them, it’s a triangle chart if you want to think about it in the political compass style.
and these are the only two things that define “left” leaning i guess.
