Is Tim Walz a good choice for the DNC's vice president?

You need some lessons in biology. Transmen do not menstruate from their surgical vaginas. You need a uterus do do that.

 

Totally.

 

It's you who don't know what you are talking about, since you confuse trans men with trans women

Trans man = a person who was registered as female at birth but who lives and identifies as a man; a transgender man.

So, they are biological females, and they get periods and can have babies.

Trans woman = a biological male who pretends to be a woman.

Trans women obviously cannot get periods, or get pregnant.

 

I disagree, Pro. At first, it seems like this "Elmer Fudd" is an affable, guy-next-door kind of old toad -- but then another reality starts to come out when we learn that he "fiddled while Minneapolis burned" (as BLM rampaged), and, that Walz presided over a horrific $250,000,000 fraud in Minnesota called "Feeding Our Future": https://www.washingtontimes.com/new...Future is a,had claimed in her reimbursements.

Now, add to that, he was a grifter who took easy money for over two decades slowly rising in the state's national guard -- but when his battalion was going to be sent to Iraq, he took a sudden "early-out" and left his people without their senior NCO leader -- HIMSELF!

Icing on the cake? He fraudulently called himself a "Command Sergeant Major", but in fact he was a Master Sergeant. He might have gotten the promotion but he was in such a hurry to get out of going to Iraq with the rest of the battalion that he blew off requirements, including mandatory testing. The difference between those two ranks is huge, as anyone who has ever been in the military can tell you....

."OK, boys, I'll be heading home now...."

 

I’m using the term trans man, which refers to a woman who transitioned to a man. Pre-op, they definitely have vaginas.

The term I think you’re trying to use is trans-identifying-male or TIM for short. It’s a bit of a slur and unfortunate that you want to use it, but that’s what you’re looking for given the context of the conversation.

Again, I’d prefer not to hijack the thread with a debate on the validity of trans people.

 

Well, I just learned something! Trans "men" have vaginas... right? And they experience menstrual periods even though they don't have ovaries, fallopian tubes, or a uterus...? How in hell does that happen...?

 

Damn. Thought we aligned better on trans issues than that. My mistake.

Both VP picks were fine for each party's ideology but both were horrible picks to win an election. It would have been safer for Dems to pick Shapiro to get PA's 19 EVs. It would have also been smarter for Republicans to pick Haley, Mace, Scott, or Ramaswamy. The only upside to those NOT chosen is that they won't be damaged goods in 2028.

 

I get it you don't like him, and I am not voting for Team Harris either, but I think he is good for DNC, and that's what the question was.

Registered Dems clearly like him, and I think many independents like him too, and most people can see right through the Team Trump smear campaign.

You could have looked that up, but instead you ran with the DT campaign claims. He retired as Command Sergeant Major, but some months after his retirement his rank was automatically reduced a notch because he had missed some mandatory training classes. So, do people think it's a big deal he said he was Command Sergeant Major? No, because he actually was that.

It happens because they are biological females, and have all the gear needed to have periods and have babies.

Trans women are born male and do not have ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus...etc

 

I see. Trans woman = a biological male who identifies (not pretends) as a woman.

Better?

 

No slur intended. It was simply a description. You can turn around if you want, but others see what you are doing.

 

Yeah, but I don’t mean to police your speech if you don’t feel that way. What you say is up to you.

 

What am I doing?

 

Well, I wasn't "Rambo", but I am an honorably-discharged Vietnam Era vet, and, yeah, I don't like somebody like Walz, and I've seen enough of these posturing, self-aggrandizing politicians to know one when I see one. He's one! If Trump's people want to 'smear' him, they'll find that Walz has already done most of the preparation himself.

Uh-huh... until he WASN'T.

 

You accused me of making a slur towards trans men. Unlike you, I am not up on the language of every sexual community. This is problem with the prosecute people for the wrong pronoun crap. You could innocently say something and not realize you broke law.

 

I already explained I was referring to people with vaginas. Figured that was enough for you to understand. From there it seemed you were looking for trans-identifying-male and just didn’t know the term.
Trying to help you learn the language on either side of the discussion so that we can actually talk about it using agreed upon terms.
The reason I identified it as a slur, is because that’s how the community sees it. Didn’t want to add it to your vernacular without that bit of context. Hope that helps.

 

energized their base. More like their base is relieved. The debate was hugely relieved that while they may not win the presidential bid, it won’t be as bad a wipeout of Dem candidates as it likely would be if Biden was still running.

 

Right. He is not lying when he says he retired as Command Sergeant Major.

 

We'll see if he carries MN in the election.
I'm sure he can't

 

Do you?

IT'S WHATABOUTISM TIME

Ex-president Bone Spurs said avoiding STDs was his own personal Vietnam.

 

Trump pays respects the place in Vietnam where he might have died had he not been able to dodge the draft.

 

You may be right, temporarily -- until a Staff Judge Advocate filed a DD Form 149 (Application for Correction of Military Record) to amend the incorrect information on Elmer's DD-214. Obviously, somebody did something, or else the 'Crat's 'Ministry of Truth' would not have scrambled yesterday to get Walz' 'bio' changed to more closely reflect reality.

The 'net-net' of it? Elmer doesn't end up with his 'laurel wreath'....

."SHUSH UP!"

 

Yes, I know I am right.

If your vote is based on rank, you can vote for Captain Bone Spurs and Corporal Vance, since you think their rank is more impressive than Walz.

PS the information was not incorrect, since he reached the rank of commander, but it was later reduced due to some training being incomplete when he retired.

 

Well, we are of two different minds on this, Pro. And, honestly, I think it's somewhat transparently distractive to drag Trump and Vance into this....

I'm content simply to acknowledge the final result that the Department of Defense determined in the case of Tim Walz -- that 'at the end of the day', he ended his enlistment in the National Guard as a Master Sergeant... and, as any honorably-discharged Master Sergeant can tell you, there's nothing wrong with that. But one wonders why 'Elmer' wanted to cover up the reality of the matter in his bio....

."Damn! Those laurel leaves looked SO good...."
