Summary

Minnesota Governor and former VP candidate Tim Walz is launching a town hall tour in Republican-held districts where representatives have stopped holding public events.

Starting in Iowa and Nebraska, he plans stops in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Ohio. Walz says he wants to amplify voter concerns about the Trump administration and Republican policies.

He denies using the tour to prepare for a national run, instead framing it as a way to keep Democrats engaged post-election.

His team has received hundreds of invitations from local leaders.

    The solution is to destroy the engagement feedback system: regulate Facebook, and any engagement based social media, like we should have done a long time ago. Or more specifically, deregulate them, and don’t shield them from liability with the law.

    But it’s way too late for that.

    Anyway, I’m not saying it’s a good solution. But it’s what will naturally arise, just like Trump rose through the Republican party when no oldschool Republicans wanted that. People you know will jump on the bandwagon, and worship liberal Trump. Get ready.
