Oh, So Now Tim Walz Wants Us to Treat Each Other As 'Neighbors'
Townhall ^ | 11/10/2024 | Rebecca Downs

This past week was not a good one for Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), who was Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate. Not only did the Harris-Walz ticket lose the 2024 presidential election, but they won Minnesota by less than President Joe Biden did in 2020, and it looks like Walz will have lost the Democratic trifecta for the state legislature. His speech on Friday in Minnesota has people talking and calling him out for the supposed message of unity he's going for.

"I think sometimes we can be quick to judge people who don't agree with us, to assume that they act out of cruelty or fear or self-interest. I don't think that kind of judgment is helpful right now, and I don't think it's right." Walz pointed out, though such an admission came too little too late. "I think we ought to swallow, and this is me in this, as I'm speaking about myself, swallow a little bit of pride and look a little harder to find common ground with our neighbors who didn't vote like we did in this election. Maybe we won't agree on every issue. Hell, maybe we won't agree on any issue, but maybe when the campaign signs come down, we all get a break from the rhetoric and the TV ads, and the fundraising texts--and I'm sorry about those,"(snip)

"Maybe when we get a little break from this campaign that we're in, we'll be able to look at each other and see not enemies, but neighbors. And maybe we'll be able to sit down over a coffee or a diet Mountain Dew and just talk. In response to the MSNBC clip, many users chimed in with explicit language to share how they felt about such a suggestion from the losing running mate.(snip)

Why do you think they try to steal elections? They think they're the smartest ones in the room and we're dumb, when they're really only 10 IQ points removed from the cast of Idiocracy.

You'll find their pictures in a magazine article about the Dunning-Kruger effect.

When your enemy is down you kick him in the head and stomp on his nuts.

My neighbors don’t call me a Nazi or try to stick a tampon up my butt, Timmy.
