Harris has picked Governor Walz from Minnesota to join her on the Democrat ticket. Being hailed as a "folksy" pick appealing to Middle America, I believe the selection was a mistake and cemented the ticket as progressive and far left. After Republicans seemingly did the same by opting for JD Vance, the Democrats left the door open by opting for someone who just said last week, "Don't ever shy away from our progressive values. One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness." Once again, Independents find themselves stuck in the middle.
