minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·edit-23 months agoGreat, another politician in the pockets of (checks notes) Orthopedic Surgeons? https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/tim-walz/contributors?cid=N00027467&cycle=2018 Dude seems pretty clean, and looks like he listens to protesters instead of fighting them. Disappointing it’s an 80 year old and not someone being groomed for a future run, but overall better than I expected. I guess it’s the same logic as pairing Biden with Obama.
