2022 MidTerms & State races- who ya got?

[Swansong]

I mean, the nazis protested/cheered at the Turning Points party this weekend and the would-be-President DeSantis wouldn't even issue a statement on them.



Incidentally, while DeSantis does seem to be capable of true evil, the dude is as charismatic as cooked pasta.

Do folks here support Dems spending money helping far right candidates in Republican primaries?

No, I do not. I think it's stupid.

Republican pacs have been spending to defeat progressives but weird he didn’t ask about that

[psych]

Absolutely on board with it. There’s no difference between MTG and Kevin McCarthy once they’re in Congress. None. I’d rather have the obvious, overt as-holes as candidates, so at least some “moderates” are turned off by them and either vote D or stay home.
Posters on here praise Hovey. Hovey is like Ron DeSantis. No one praises Sic, despite the people starting to like his posts. Sic is Trump. They’re both dangerous in their own way, but more people are convinced Hovey argues in good faith than Sic, despite the fact Hovey never admits he’s wrong, significantly trolls, and contradicts himself and then doubles down once called out. If I ran for Congress on here against Hovey, I might lose. I think I’d beat Sic in a Reagan/Mondale landslide.

I didn’t realize you considered progressives and trumpers equal.

For instance, in Maryland, the Democratic nominee, Wes Moore, should easily handle the Trump-backed Cox. If the Hogan-backed Schulz had won, she might have won the governorship for Maryland again for the GOP in a ridiculously blue state, since she’s viewed as moderate, and Maryland Democrats must be morons or something.

I find that stupid as well. But, Corporations and Dark Money are free speech according to "conservatives". Citizens United (Reagan's Wet Dream along with Roe being overturned) has come to fruition.

You mean, kinda like how none of the 'concerned about civility' group*cough Hovey cough*bothered to even comment about Jill Biden getting heckled while going out for ice cream?

[Swansong]

Isn't this, like, exactly the logic that led people to encourage the GOP to nominate Trump in 2016? I don't remember that working out well for anyone.

Seriously. I would think the last thing anyone would want to do right now is to give nut jobs more of a platform.

It is. And, it appears to have worked out just fine for the Billionaire class. That's all anyone in power ****ing cares about.

If Jill Biden got heckled buying ice cream, then I feel the same way about it that I expressed regarding the earlier heckling discussion. It's boorish conduct that as a society we should neither engage in nor support. I don't know anything about the ice cream incident, but honestly, I didn't know anything about the other heckling incident either until someone on here started posting about it.

You have an interesting understanding of the word "praise."

[psych]

More of a platform? They already have a ****ing platform. It’s the entire GOP. Their voters want crazy. If “moderates” want crazy, we’re ****ed anyways. We all know Ron DeSantis is ****ing crazy, but he hides it better to the general public than Trump. Does anyone think Mike Rounds, Randy Feenstra, or Mike Garcia are any less dangerous than MTG because they appear professional?They all vote for the same exact ****ing sh-t, and none of it helps democracy.
