Governor Tim Walz recently dropped a bombshell by admitting he was a token pick for VP candidate Kamala Harris. It seems the only qualification that mattered was his ability to chat with “white guys watching football.” Talk about identity politics gone wild! Democrats tried to sell him as the bridge to working-class America, but voters saw right through this political ploy.
Democrats love preaching about diversity, yet here they are, openly using a candidate for his skin color. Throwing the “inclusive” script out the window, they gleefully used Walz’s so-called “folksy” charm as a gimmick. How insulting to the white working class Democrats claim to champion! They thought a few cliché football references would reel in Middle America, but these voters are savvier than that nonsense.

Strategists painted Walz as a hero of the little guy, touting his working-class résumé and his liberal accomplishments back in Minnesota. But typical of the left, they underestimated voters’ intelligence, thinking they could dazzle and distract with empty words and hollow gestures. In reality, voters in key swing states saw through this and refused to buy what Democrats were selling.
Despite Walz’s desperate attempts, like spouting sports metaphors and bragging about his coaching days, the red, white, and blue heartland wasn’t fooled. He failed to secure even a single swing state, despite Democratic strategists yammering on about his alleged charisma. This isn’t surprising for an establishment that time and again ignores flyover states until they need their vote.
The Democrats’ blatant use of identity politics might win points on social media, but it’s a losing strategy in the real America. Maybe instead of choosing candidates for superficial reasons, the left should focus on real issues facing everyday Americans. But who expects them to start doing that now? Once a party of pandering, always a party of pandering.
