I don't know who Kamala will pick for VP. But Tim Walz is the vibes candidate, and this is the vibes election. I have no idea what either of those things mean, but I tweeted them anyway. And I'm right

Kamala Harris choosing Walz is VERY significant. It is a reminder that we can and must use our voices to get the outcomes we want. It also signals that VP Harris is listening to the voices of young, grassroots, pro-ceasefire, and other voters. This is very encouraging.

Me, three weeks ago: "The thing I know about Tim Walz is that he is the governor of Minnesota (I think)."Me, now: "I would literally fling myself into a fire to save Tim Walz's life."

Kamala actually picked Tim Walz. I genuinely can’t wrap my head around Dems doing something politically solid. Baffling development.
