In 1999, Walz was a teacher and founded his high school's first gay-straight alliance. His old GSA students still remember him warmly.

Minnesota Gov. and Vice President hopeful Tim Walz (D) inspired generations of students during his time as a founder of the Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) at the Mankato West High School in Minnesota. Now, some of his former GSA students are coming back to discuss all the ways in which Walz, as well as his wife Gwen, helped them personally.
Getting Harris and Walz elected will do more for the children of this country than any other single thing. Mostly because it will enable so much more support of all American children than would be possible if Donald & James are elected.
We still need more proportional representation and ranked-choice (or similar) voting to secure this support, but none of that will be possible if Harris and Walz are defeated.
Given the broad support of abolishing or lowering ages of eligibility for marriage amongst Republican politicians, I would say the chances of that are extremely high, yes.
I just wanted to say that I appreciate you using the more economically efficient (and scientifically realistic) phrasing. Firing someone at the sun has low specificity, is easily attainable, and generally effective. Firing someone into the sun is incredibly difficult and expensive. Normally I'm not a fan of half-assing things, but in this specific case it makes so much more sense to just approximate and let physics and biology meet in the middle.
Once the election is over, we should try to channel this enthusiasm and energy into supporting ranked choice initiatives. It's our only hope! https://fairvote.org/ Post other initiatives if you know about them 🙂
I agree she won’t do it. I think it’s about money as well as geopolitical dynamics and more. I think after she’s elected would be a very good time to put on lots of pressure.
I don’t know if her taking a position now would make much difference. Pressure on Donald before of after definitely will have zero impact. Most reasonable people see this. Pressure on Harris before the election might make a difference. After the election it’s even more likely to make a difference. But it’d have to be mass protests / strikes either way.
