minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10arrow-down15·edit-24 months agoGreat, another politician in the pockets of (checks notes) Orthopedic Surgeons? https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/tim-walz/contributors?cid=N00027467&cycle=2018 Dude seems pretty clean, and looks like he listens to protesters instead of fighting them. Disappointing it’s an 80 year old and not someone being groomed for a future run, but overall better than I expected. I guess it’s the same logic as pairing Biden with Obama.

minus-squareiAmTheTot@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·4 months agoWhy so hostile to someone who was overall receptive to the pick and went back to correct their comment?
minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down2·4 months agoYeah, I don’t know much about him. But just looking at his wiki and open secrets and he’s legit better than I thought we’d get.
minus-squareFuglyDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·edit-24 months agoA lot of the progressive pushes we had here in Minnesota are from him leading the charge. Him and Peggy Flannigan who’ll replace him as gov when he resigns. (Iirc, Peggy will be our first native governor? This will be interesting.)

No. You didn’t.

Seems like a good pick!
