Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) said one reason he was chosen as former Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate in the recent election was because he could “code talk to white guys watching football” and “fixing their truck.”

It's hard to pin down what she actually believes in, but if I had to guess she was forced to take those strategists on and their policies to maintain access to the funding that came from Biden.

Even if she didn't believe in many of the popular policies she mentioned in the early days, I think she had okay instincts, but was too afraid to go against the whole Democratic machine.

Being a strategist is a business and they get paid no matter if they win or lose, so their interest lie in protecting that business model inside the aparatus.

P.S. Nowhere did I defend the Harris or her loosing strategy. I just pointed out factual mistake.
