The political, when unabused, is nestled in the ethic of other-centeredness. An enclave of comfortability in a social stratification, must not induce a dismissive posture toward the palpable effect polities can have on the mundane human personality marred by disenfranchisement in the political.
Tim Walz’s affixing to Kamala’s presidential ticket—could be actualized as an adherence to the valued capital of other-centeredness.
Tim’s governance in Minnesota, with concocted bills anchored on gender-affirming care, extended paid-leave, reproductive healthcare, and child tax-credit, is symphonious to the behemoth voting bloc of—young families, women, and members with alternative lifestyles, whose rights are tangibly being threatened by Project 2025.
The selection of Tim Walz as the nominee for vice-president is radical: The exclamation of conceivable moral delinquency from the right for his far-left progressive ideals may be bullhorned, but his far-left leaning persuasion, in tandem with Kamala’s moderate disposition, is the symbolic matrimonial union, to capture both the far-left and the moderate guild of the political left.
The chiding of Tim Walz as being a window-dressing aesthetic, to divert attention from the—Biden-Kamala public office woes has merit, but salvaging the gargantuan voting bloc of the anti-war dissidents (millennials, Gen Z, Gen X, etc.) makes Tim an invaluable vice-president.
Tim Walz’s political goodwill deeds in Minnesota, whether grandstanding or not—as the dictates of the managerial class are quite different at the state level—will be unmasked at the federal level, by his deftness to manage the shadow government of the plutocrats and oligarchs who wield material power over the executive branch.
Political euphoria should engulf the body politic as Tim’s radicality is conspicuous—and his vernacular selection to delineate the political right as “weird,” packs a visceral kinetic force greater than Biden’s apocalyptic messaging of “threat to democracy.”
Biden’s aforementioned angling, while befitting, was too metaphysical, for the rank and file of the body politic to translate into a vote at the ballot box.
Kamala Harris’s political chess move of joining Tim on the presidential ticket could be the additive difference maker.
