In regards to your last post I am not sure I get the hate on Walz I think the biggest flaw they did with him is really not focus on his progressive accomplishments that are incredibly popular regardless of voter registration.

Things like:

Increasing pre-k access, food for breakfast and lunch for students, increased funding for state police, red flag laws and back ground checks, paid leave and paid sick time for all workers and banning non compete agreements, decreased taxes on seniors and middle class and cut prescription drug prices.

All of those have bipartisan support and hugely popular but instead the Harris campaign muzzled him on these issues and he had to speak about Harris' pro corporate agenda which was an epic failure.

Walz was a terrible pick and I said so and explained why at the time she picked him (I said if she loses the Walz pick would be one reason). There were three things she could have done anyone of which would likely have moved 2pts to her direction (which may have been enough). She should not have picked Walz as she already was perceived as being too progressive. Picking Walz, who was even more progressive than her was a slap in the face to the anti-Trump conservative voters, a percentage of which then returned to Trump or sat out. Not distancing herself from Biden and failing to slap down the extreme woke were the other two opportunities she squandered.

Walz wasn't the reason she lost. She actually did well considering she ran for 12 week campaign against someone who had been running for 4 years. I wanted Kelly myself but Walz wasn't the reason she lost.

If she is progressive then Nancy Mace is a conservative

I said she is perceived as too progressive (you may dispute that she actually is a progressive (I wouldn't) but would you dispute the perception?)

I am sure there are people that do consider her a progressive however her refusing to prosecute OneWest Bank for foreclosure fraud, support of genocide, and being against workers ability to unionize. I know she has said progressive things but without authenticity and clarity of message. As SD has said she will say what she needs to get votes but in the end she always supports her donors: OneWest Bank, AIPAC, Silicon Valley. Those are neocon ideologies not progressive
