I watched this speech and thought he was great.
It feels like a breath of fresh air and I imagine there are millions out there hankering for that.

Know nothing about him, but he certainly comes over very well and even sounds genuine,a rarity among politicians around the world.
He may have been a very astute pick!

Itās like watching YouTubeās of ederson and ugarte or any 6 for that matter.
I have to admit that I hadnāt even heard of Tim Walz until a couple of days ago. Iām just curious as to why, if he is such an affable likable guy, that he wasnāt encouraged to run for president?

Because, as VP, Harris was automatically next in line and dropping her for a white guy would have smacked of discrimination.

I was thinking more in general. I got the impression that the Democrats supported Biden because they didnāt think that there was anyone else in the party who connect with the public.

Probably just keeps hitting auto-complete suggestions these days and sees where it takes him.

Iām in Canada and recently discovered during lunch that a coworker who is second gen Asian Canadian believes in post birth abortions and āweā need to stop the government from allowing it. Heās deep in church activities. Needless to say we had a rather heated lunch then never touched on this matter again. I said I would read more on it, but I doubt he does.
Troubling, cause otherwise heās a nice, soft spoken scientist.

Where is this post birth abortion rubbish coming from? It is murder and I donāt think as ridiculous as America is, no state would have legalize that.
There is of course scholar papers which argue under that term but essentially infant euthanasia and the main argument is that since abortion rights argued that killing a foetus is not murder because it is a mass of matter with no conscience of its own, they drew that parallel that newly born infants too have no conscience of its own so infant euthanasia can be seen as the same as foetal abortion. They later claimed that they never wrote the paper to argue for itās legality but purely from a philosophical view.
While I am against abortion after a certain term except in cases of abnormalities or risk to the mothers to continue the pregnancy or result of crime, this parallel is ridiculous. Murder has legal consequences.
Apart from the linguistic absurdity of āpost birth abortionsā, what on earth would the motive be?
Why would Democrats want to murder babies? How would it be an advantage for them?

You also need to bear in mind that his profile has not been that high. Ten days ago less than 10% of all voters knew who he was, whereas Harris has been a national figure for years. He also hasnāt previously made any national ambitions known.

Also think it had a lot to do with money. Earlier donations were to the Biden-Harris campaign, so Kamala was the only candidate who could legally use those prior donations.
