Tim Walz's personal finances are an anomaly in US presidential politics: He has no stocks, bonds, or private equity, and he doesn't even own a home.

    If they end up changing the laws such that people over 65 can’t be elected, he will be too old.

            Yes true, but he is not the president candidate, so he has to wait until Kamela hopefully finishes her presidency. And then he will be 68.

            And that is too old in my opinion.

                Sigh… 🙄

                So their fantasies are fine but my fantasy about age limits, that accepts they won’t switch Kamala is bad.

                  You countered their hypothetical with another hypothetical that assumes that theirs doesn’t come to pass.

                  Logically speaking, it’s the equivalent of someone asking if they can have steak in stead of pasta and you saying they can’t because they’ll be too full for steak after the pasta.

                    And I was playing a different game, I see your hypothetical with a different hypothetical. But I see now that’s a big no no.

                  You’re just in the wrong conversation here. This thread is talking about present time.

                  Your comment higher up was taking it to future tense.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
