I watched the Harris/Walz interview with Dana Bash and I thought it was good for Harris/Walz, and at the same time bad TV and poor journalism. Atrios has helpfully summarized all the questions asked if you want to remember just how lackluster they were. The interview was bad TV because the questions were mostly shitty …
Friday Morning Open Thread: FORWARD!
#KamalaHarrisForward I believe VP Kamala Harris and her VP pick Tim Walz are our best chance to move forward. They are our best chance to push back on encroaching fascism and threats to democracy, and our best chance for creating the world we all desire and deserve.
