Tim Walz doesn’t mention Trump or Vance as he kicks off DNC
The vice presidential hopeful is setting a tone as a happy warrior in a bid to draw a sharp contrast with the Republican ticket.
Tim Walz promised a “joyous” Democratic National Convention in a lightning round of brief speeches Monday morning—pointedly not mentioning Donald Trump or JD Vance.
“What we’re going to show America over the next three days is what democracy looks like,” he said in his very first appearance at the event, a breakfast for delegates from Wisconsin. “It’s joyous, it’s inclusive."
“We understand what the alternative is. That doesn’t motivate people. It’s not just beating those guys. It’s about setting a course for our future that’s brighter for everyone.”
I actually hate this headline and story. It should have solely focused on what Walz said, and avoided mention of the other guy, too.
Came here to say this - I'm new to Lemmy, and I feel like there's this overwhelming tidal wave of Trump posts here, even moreso than Reddit or other social media. I get it, he's a shit human being. But maybe unless he actually does something, we don't have to talk about him?
Lemmy is still small, and so broad fields like news, tech and politics dominate the feed - and Trump is a pressing enough topic at the moment to have posts about him get a lot of traction. It's the height of an American election year and the threat of Project 2025 has people justifiably anxious.
I recommend cultivating and heavily curating community subscriptions, and sticking to your subscribed feed as your default home page. That way you can almost entirely avoid anything Trump related until you yourself choose to engage with it.
Here's the thing..
Trump gets clicks.
Even the most left wing media LOVE printing his name.
I mean, he mentions them too… just not by name. But also, him focusing on policy/good stuff/etc. IS news because Biden’s entire campaign was “hi I’m not trump” so it kinda does bear saying wow thank god he is talking about actual stuff and not trump.
Presidential politics in a nutshell.
30,000 words printed on what a tan suit means for foreign policy. Nobody wants to talk about who will replace Secretary of State.
Trump will complain about that in 3....2...
Noone knows complaining better than I do. I'm the best complainer, and I know people in the industry that say I'm better than anyone they've ever met.
More or less. An actual quote:
“I do whine because I want to win and I’m not happy about not winning and I am a whiner and I keep whining and whining until I win.”
GASH: Great Article, Shit Headline...

BREAKING NEWS:
- Trump did not publicly insult a woman or person of colour for at least a few hours today, we'll update the story as this progresses!

I'm so sick of this shit. Watching Trump struggle brings long-awaited joy, but the absence of his involvement being the title of a story is just absolutely vexing. Please tell me more about the Harris campaign and put the spotlight there.
We mentioned them so you don't have to!
He obviously did mention them but not by name
But thedailybeast can't help themselves...
He does mention them, but not by name. There's no story here.
Wow, it's like he actually listens to his voters!
