Let’s just get this out of the way: When your political pitch to working-class voters is “I can code talk to white guys,” you’re not relatable — you’re ridiculous. And if you’re Tim Walz, you’ve just become the poster child for how Democrats treat middle America like a foreign language course they forgot to study for.
In case you missed it, Minnesota Governor and Kamala Harris’s VP sidekick, Tim Walz, made headlines this week after bragging at Harvard — yes, Harvard — that he was added to the ticket because he could “put white guys at ease” by speaking their code: football, truck talk, and whatever else his DNC briefing packet told him “those people” like. You can’t make this crap up.
“I could code talk to white guys watching football, fixing their truck… I was the permission structure to say, ‘Look, you can do this and vote for this.’”
— Tim Walz, Harvard Kennedy School, April 2025
Democrats Think Middle America Is a Costume Party
This isn’t a strategy — it’s cosplay for clueless elites. Every election cycle, Democrats try to rebrand themselves as “folksy” and “authentic” by trotting out some pre-approved caricature of a guy who looks like he might have changed his own oil once in college. Tim Walz was that guy. He wasn’t chosen for competence, charisma, or leadership. He was picked because someone in Kamala’s camp thought, “Let’s find a Midwestern white guy who can play political ventriloquist for people we clearly don’t understand.”
You want to see just how absurd it all sounds?
Here’s my full breakdown and reaction in the video below:
Scott Jennings Drops the Hammer
Leave it to CNN’s Scott Jennings — one of the rare voices of reason on that network — to absolutely torch Walz’s delusion.
“When your signature move is jazz hands, you’re not as up on the white guy code maybe as you think you are… I just don’t think there’s ever been anybody in recent political history in over their head more than Tim Walz.”
That’s not a political critique. That’s a body bag with a bow on it. Jennings said what everyone else is thinking: Walz is a walking focus group experiment gone horribly wrong. The guy can’t even convincingly hold a shotgun, but we’re supposed to believe he’s the ambassador to the Ford F-150 crowd? Please.
Democrats Still Don’t Get It — And They Never Will
The most insulting part of all this? Walz actually thinks this was a strength. He doesn’t see how cringe it is to reduce hard-working Americans to a stereotype. The Democratic Party doesn’t want to represent rural, working-class voters. It wants to manage them — like a brand demographic they studied in a diversity seminar. They roll out guys like Walz as a marketing gimmick, slap on some beer-and-football buzzwords, and expect it to work. Spoiler: It didn’t.
And let’s not forget, this is the same “relatable” Tim Walz who was caught lying about his military service, celebrated Tesla’s stock tanking, and earned the nickname “Tampon Tim” after pushing for menstrual products in boys’ bathrooms — all while supposedly speaking fluent “middle America.”
The Democrats aren’t losing these voters because they “missed the message.”
They’re losing because they believe the message is beneath them.
