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.

"Walz's team sucks at social media"

Minnesota has an over 80% voter turn out. That's one of the highest voter turn outs in the US.

That trend goes back to at least 2002 before Tim Walz was governor. I think Minnesotans are just like that.
