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 like politics and news - most of my subscribed is some variant of that. There’s just so much more to politics and news than Trump, and as long as you’re not in the cult there’s not even anything interesting or engaging that he says or does. It’s just a circlejerk of “Trump bad” and I don’t understand how people aren’t tired of it - or maybe they think they’re helping?

      Be the change, post! Right now most of the posts in any given community are from a handful of really active people. They’re posting what they want to see or what they think everyone else wants to see. More posters and more diversity is a good thing.

      Can also add filters for Trump and Vance in your user settings (I’m on Connect) and stop most related posts from coming up in your feed. Was able to rescue myself from a tidal wave of Sailor Moon Ai posts in my feed that way 😁.
