ANAHEIM, California — Tim Walz on Saturday delivered blunt advice to fellow Democrats in an address to party activists and officials: “We’ve got to find some goddamn guts to fight for working people.”

Speaking in former Vice President Kamala Harris’ home state, the Minnesota governor told California Democratic Party convention-goers that his and Harris’ loss last fall was a clear sign that their party’s grasp on working-class voters had slipped. It was the latest in a string of critiques he has issued while traveling the country since November.

"Harris' home-state". Just say California. He wasn't there as a personal insult to Harris, he was in the most populous Democratic state. Feels like they'd rather make this a soap opera than highlight what he's actually saying.

I wish he'd been able to convince his running mate of this. During the campaign he basically rejected everything that made me excited to hear his name in the first place.

The Two Party System is the problem. This shit wouldn't happen if people had real choices on the ballot.
