What a terrible thing for her to say. Tim Walz had demonstrated working progressive ideas, things Pete Buttigieg would ignore for his corporate sponsors. Now I guess Pete can say, see... she would have won if it weren't for Walz. But her picking Walz boosted her campaign initially, until she started acting like a neocon Republican towards the end of her campaign.
Nobody will understand this drunk on Citizens United free speech. Until thats ended, blunders like this will not stop and the overtones window will not cease its rightward charge.
It's a big part of why I left. I eventually became convinced you're right, and the people whose sole power it is to change are those who benefit from it.
