Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate, wagering that a former red-district congressman with a progressive streak can help her win over working-class voters in battleground states needed to beat Donald Trump in November.
“The entire country is about to see why their friends from Minnesota can’t stop bragging about Governor Walz,” Minnesota DFL Party Chair Ken Martin said in a statement. “By picking a servant leader born and raised in a small town who has dedicated his career to protecting freedoms and lifting up working families, Vice President Harris has chosen the perfect foil for [Trump running mate] JD Vance and his politics of resentment.”
Minnesota has long been one of the best places in America to live. And the crazy part is they’re a fly over state. They’re who Nebraska could be if they stopped blaming costal States for everything and started implementing good policy. Minnesota is proof that the culture war is a big fat fucking distraction and that common sense governance can, in fact, work
It honestly is all true except for the one crucial flaw: 🥶❄️🧊
Its the shared suffering that keeps us humble
The three seasons are Snow, Mud and Bugs, right?
There’s 2 seasons. Snow and Construction
And they are not mutually exclusive.
I always naively believe I’ll be able to use roads as intended once the ice and snow melt, but somehow my commute gets longer during warm seasons. Thanks construction!
As a 3x resident of Minnesota (moved for schooling with family 2 different times then moved back both times) You can always add more blankets or clothing to stay warm you can only take so many clothes off when it gets too hot. It’s a pretty great state.
Global warming will “help”. Even where I live we’ve seen a marked decline in snowfall and higher average winter temps. Just consider that even though it’s relatively colder, consider you’re not baking elsewhere.
Don’t worry climate change will fix that eventually for ya! /s But lets hope Harris has a strong climate policy.
We’ve stopped blaming everyone else for our problems and now just insist things would be better if we got rid of the handful of Democrats from Omaha.
So all of the smart kids flee the state. Nebraska is fucked.
