    I fucking love waltz. I’m fairly positive on Kamala, but I absolutely love waltz. He may be my favorite politician atm.

      You “fucking” “absolutely” love waltz so i’m gonna guess you agree with his policies:

      “the expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute, fundamental necessity for the United States to have the steady leadership there”

        If I was editing wikipedia and saw your statement I’d add these two tags:

        [dubious claim: discuss] [citation needed]

        I know you’re taking a quote from the debate but it seems really out of context. If I remember he was talking about Israel’s response to a potential Iranian attack.

        Not the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

          That quote is really a political Rorschach test. You see what you want in it. Some see it as simply Walz misspeaking, one of several such flubs during the debate. Others see it as him accidentally saying the quiet part out loud. You see what you want in it.

            I mean there’s a lot of ways to interpret it that’s for sure. But if you look at the entire response that quote is located in, it’s in the beginning of the debate when he’s really nervous and kind of all over the place. He somehow continues after that sentence talking about Trump crowd sizes. It’s almost gibberish to make any sense from his response there. But I think the message of it was something along the lines of Israel should defend itself against Iran and the US will support it in that endeavour.
