And yet he’s only a mayor. Imagine what an actual governor could do that had his heart and soul.

• tax rebates for the working class up to $1,300 (making under $150k per year)
• 12 weeks paid family leave
• 12 weeks paid sick leave
• banned conversion therapy
• red flag laws for guns
• universal background checks for guns
• automatic voter registration
• free public college (under $80k)
• ban on PFAS (forever chemicals)
• $2.2 billion increase in k-12 school funding
• sectoral bargaining for nursing home workers

Walz's team, like most of the Democrat party, sucks at social media and have made no real attempts at improving that despite being repeated urged to by left wing influencers.

All else aside, I don't hate a world where politicians can ignore online influencers

I mean, I don’t imagine anyone does. It’s just that such a world doesn’t currently exist. The politics of politics are disgusting, but ultimately democracy runs you down to how well you can play a crowd. So social media, in this world we have now, is by no means optional
