Yellowdog Granny posted this a while ago, but it says everything about the Democrats and Republicans.
Tim Walz was born in a small rural Nebraska town. Walz
graduated from public high school at age seventeen and immediately enlisted in the
Army National Guard. He worked up
through the enlisted ranks retiring after 24 years of service.
Waltz went to state college with the help of the GI Bill. He graduated with a teaching degree and became a high school teacher and coach. He married a teacher.
After
retirement from the military Walz was elected six times to Congress.
Walz is one
of the most popular governors in Minnesota's history.
Walz's
accomplishments as governor have been wide-ranging and focused on the middle
class.
Walz passed
a 2.3-billion-dollar budget that expanded the pre-k education program and provided
breakfast and lunch for all school children, and he passed a child tax credit
for people in poverty.
Walz led and
expanded Minnesota’s reproductive right to choose law.
He passed
laws protecting children from gender-affirming care and banned ‘conversion therapy.’
He ended
book banning based on ideology.
Walz expanded
worker's rights, establishing paid leave and paid sick days. He banned non-competitive work contracts
against workers, including at Amazon warehouses, construction sites, hospitals,
nursing homes, and public schools.

Walz passed
laws lowering the cost of prescription drugs, including insulin, and attached

He signed a billion-dollar
bill to expand affordable housing.

marijuana for adults and canceled convictions for non-violent cannabis

man of the people, and he likes pigs.
AND WHAT ABOUT THIS CREEP?
J. D. Vance:
A Yale
graduate who made millions in Silicon Valley.
He is anti-abortion, opposed to same-sex marriages, against support for Ukraine,
and obsessed with women's reproduction, believing that women’s whole purpose in
life is to have children and raise children.
These are our choices for VP. And remember that is one step away from the Presidency.
