He let his city burn and was an apologist for those who did it

[samdunwody]

didn't he let the biggest city in the state burn

[EvolvedTactical]

Notice that they don't list his 24 years of National Guard service as an accomplishment....because he quit on his soldiers 2 years before his contract was up as they were getting ready to deploy to Iraq, and failed to complete the Sergeants Major course and was summarily demoted.

[TreyWK]

His biggest accomplishment was sitting back and doing nothing while his city's were burning. This is a pathetic progressive ticket

[josephinewhite]

He reminds me of the current president but younger and heavier.

[aknotz]

Why are you guys campaigning for Walz? He was a terrible governor.

[douglassandstrom]

[iwinnimi]

Ask Walz about his earned nickname. No balls Walz.

[jeromeklein]

Another accomplishment is getting law passed in Minnesota that social security benefits are no longer taxed. Hopefully he can get this done on a national basis.

Critics argue that electing Kamala Harris would not bring the progress some expect and could, in fact, weaken the U.S., especially in times of crisis. Her lack of foreign policy experience raises concerns about her ability to handle high-stakes negotiations with global powers like China or Russia, potentially leaving the U.S. vulnerable. Her shifting positions—such as her backtrack on healthcare—and accusations of dishonesty further erode public trust, making her an unreliable figure both domestically and internationally.

Critics also highlight Harris’s socialistic stances, including increased government intervention in healthcare, the economy, and environmental policies, which they believe could harm business growth and economic stability. They argue that these policies would stifle innovation and lead to a bloated government at the expense of American freedoms and economic progress. Additionally, some question her intellectual capability, suggesting that she is not particularly bright or insightful, which raises concerns about her ability to make sound, strategic decisions in complex situations.

Further complicating the picture, critics accuse Harris of fueling a troubling trend of antisemitism within the Democratic Party. They point to incidents at DNC rallies and her associations with figures who have made antisemitic remarks. Critics argue that her failure to strongly condemn or distance herself from these antisemitic elements has contributed to a broader atmosphere of intolerance and division, which undermines her leadership credibility.

Her overreliance on advisors might lead to indecisive or poorly executed responses during critical moments. There are also concerns that she might mislead the public or manipulate narratives during military conflicts, potentially escalating tensions or undermining national security. This lack of transparency could further weaken the U.S.'s standing on the world stage.

While many may not personally like Donald Trump, his policies—such as deregulation, tax cuts, and a strong stance on foreign adversaries—are viewed by some as having strengthened the U.S. economy and secured its national interests. By contrast, critics believe that voting for Harris would weaken the nation through ineffective leadership, economic stagnation, and vulnerability in international relations. They fear her leadership would damage U.S. alliances, exacerbate internal divisions, and create further instability both domestically and globally, ultimately undermining the country’s strength and security.
