#DemocraticParty #VicePresident #Nominee #TimWalz Is Like No Other #Politician—and His #Finances Prove It.
Like Most Americans' #KamalaHarris’s #pick for #vicepresident has a surprisingly bare #financial #portfolio.

#VicePresident #KamalaHarris #runningmate #Minnesota #Governor #TimWalz owns no #stocks, #bonds or #realestate, his #financial #disclosure shows
Walz’s modest financial profile stands in stark contrast to that of #Republican #presidential #nominee #DonaldTrump and his runningmate #ShadyVance (#JDVance).

How #proLGBTQ+ is #TimWalz, #KamalaHarris' #vicepresident pick? His #record speaks for itself
The Minnesota governor's #LGBTQ+ #support started long before his time in #politics.
#TimWalz has been #praised for his work as a #GayStraightAlliance #FacultyAdvisor during the 1990s, stating that he possesses a profound #heart.’
Walz has long been an #outspoken #queer #ally and, in 1999, he agreed to support the creation of the first-ever #GSA at #MankatoWest #HighSchool after being approached by one of his #LGBTQIA students.

Walz emerged from a #shortlist rumored to include #Pennsylvania Gov. #JoshShapiro and #Arizona #Senator #markkelly.
#PeteButtigieg #slams #ShadyVance’s (#JDVance) “#stolenvalor” attack targeting #TimWalz.
#FalseClaim has been #rebutted by the #Minnesota #NationalGuard. Buttigieg also brought up the "#childlesscatlady" mess.
“Come to think of it, denigrating the #worth of a #soldier’s #service based on whether he deployed to a #warzone is… kind of like #denigrating the worth of a #woman’s #citizenship based on whether she happens to have #children.”

One #mom from the #suburbs waited with her #daughter, who is #transgender. This year will be the first time the #daughter is #eligible to #vote. Although both #voters were planning to vote for the #reelection of #President #JoeBiden, they prefer seeing Harris at the top of the ticket. And they’re even more excited to vote for a #trans-#friendly #veep in #TimWalz.

@Susan_Larson_TN While remaining cognizant that this is a case of intentionally "othering" people, I feel like the contexts are extremely important here.
I feel like we have successfully normalized "weird" on the Left in that we largely accept that normal is a wide spectrum of differences.
The Right which can't accept anything but an industrially homogenized version of "normal" is highly offended at the notion that compliance with their proscriptive norms is itself abnormal
@Susan_Larson_TN It's also important for all of us to remember that we don't have the luxury of waiting for the absolutely perfect answer. We win or we die in the concentration camps.
As long as we're not openly advocating for violence and the death of our opposition, we're nowhere near "as bad as them". There's no equivalence between the Democrats calling the GOP "weird" and the QAnon/Nazi coalition literally calling for death to dissenters.
@gooba42 The pieces that I post as part of my news feed are not my personal opinion. That's all I have to say on the matter.
@Susan_Larson_TN I'm responding as such, not expecting personal responses.
@Susan_Larson_TN
The roots of Tim Walz were in Kuppenheim - not far from French border in my region.
