    Shapiro is also very anti-Palestine and centrist so… nobody wants him if they can have Walz instead. Walz has accomplished far more positive things than Shapiro.

    We need actual social democrats. The great things our nation has weren’t the things brought on by centrism, but by progressives like FDR. Tim Walz is just that kind of guy. Democrats need people who won’t dedicate their career to attempting bipartisanship or “reaching across the aisle” when the other side of the aisle is the alt-right, and they need someone who isn’t controlled by corporate money. Because that kind of refusal to fight back against the right is what got the US into the mess it’s in now. Tim Walz doesn’t sucker up to fascists, as opposed to centrist Democrats.
