Tim Walz has such great dad energy.

He really shows that the left doesn't hate masculinity. The left just hates *toxic* masculinity: the kind that bans abortion, harms queer people, and attacks minorities.

It's also interesting because Tim Walz seems like a guy that has hobbies and things to do: working on his truck, hunting, going to state fairs, hanging with his family.

He's out living his life rather than sitting at home obsessing over things.

Like, you can kinda choose to make anything your personality.

You can be the BBQ guy. Fire up that grill and invite the neighborhood. Make people happy and make the world a tiny bit better.

@LilahTovMoon Honestly, I'd never heard of him before this VP pick, but damn, does he seem to be a stan-up guy, and so relatable.

@redrummy @LilahTovMoon I think that was kinda the point. The ordinary guy whose superpower is making the world better for the world around him.

@LilahTovMoon

there's also something to say about his hobbies ... not being golf?

they're like... social in a more accessible way that requires him to be around other people who aren't playing with him.

@LilahTovMoon I think most animals find that hunting is toxic masculinity.
