How much does it cost to get on the ballot and how many signatures do you need?
Every Dan Sullivan in the state should register as an independent for that seat.
I want to see 20 Dan Sullivans on the ballot.
50.
I want people changing their name to Dan Sullivan to run.

Oh please - people started blocking me as soon as they learned i am more of a center left (not far left). Thats a reflection on them, not me. They don't want discussion or debate - they want an echo chamber where everyone nods and agrees.
And - the comment about Kep thinking she would be a republican was obviously in jest since many people on here (Including you i believe) have told me that i'm really a republican deep down.
Sadly, that is largely the case - I'd like to see more moderate republicans as well as more moderate democrats. The one that really comes to mind is Phil Scott (Gov of Vermont). Interesting that Phil won re-election with appx 70% of the vote in the same year that Bernie was re-elected with almost 70% of the vote (which means that a solid 1/3 of the electorate split their ticket and voted for both Scott and Bernie - so there is a large contingent of people out there who like some balance and will vote for the person and not so much the party)
My point was that over time, I believe that in swing / purple states, the "moderate" wing of the Democratic party will have a better chance of winning than DSA candidates. With that said El-Sayed seems to be infinitely more charismatic than his primary opponent and he may very well win (especially with so much wind at the D's back this cycle) - but regardless of that result i still think that over time, Democrats will be more successful in winning elections across the country with candidates who are not so far left.
Will be interesting to see - i agree that in cases like this many Republicans will come home on election day.
The bolded part is your problem. Bernie won 63-32, for a whopping net vote difference of 113K votes. Vermont is tiny and weird - you cannot extrapolate anything from there even to New Hampshire, much less the rest of the US.

Sadly the deadline for this election has already passed. But I will keep this in mind for the future…

Well, in 2022, Chris Sununu (R) won in NH on the same ticket that Maggie Hansan (D) also won so not sure what you mean by your bolded part.
Sure - ticket splitting is less common in the past decade or so than it may have been 20 years ago but it is not all that unique. Even in that election Phil Scott outperformed Berine - winning with 70+ percent of the vote - so the moderate republican outperformed the democrat (In what i beleive has been rated as the most left leaning state in the country). We have also seen it here in Mass where Charlie Baker outperformed Elizabeth Warren as far as vote percentage during his last election for Governor. In other states you see Roy Cooper winning when Tom Tillis also won. Andy Beshear winning in reliably red Kentucky, Josh Stein winning in NC (although there was not a senate election the same year).
And - per at least some polls, more people identify as "independent" or "unenrolled" than ever - so, yeah, I feel pretty comfortable saying there is still a non-insignificant percentage of people who will vote for the person and not just the party and also like some balance.

I would say you're more center than center-left, as you said yourself you voted for Republicans in the past, before they abandoned your shared positions. I have never said you're Republican. You also said you'd vote for Republicans again once Trump and Trumpism is gone. As for the echo chamber, this place is hardly an echo chamber. I've been labeled a blue MAGA, VBNMW. There were two Democrats telling each other to fuck off just last week. Plenty of disagreement in here. I think it's wonderful. I can discern between the positions on this website. Just because you can't, doesn't mean it's not occuring.
I understand your point. I just disagree with it. My argument is if the wave is big enough right now for Democrats this fall, let's get some further left candidates into office who can push for bigger reconciliation bills that will have a larger effect for a larger amount of time. The American people won't make the connection anyways, and they'll vote for Republicans to tear it all down again in 2030, whether it's a moderate Democrat sitting in the seat, or a DSA-like Democrat. If El-Sayed wins in November, he's going to advocate for bigger reconciliation bills than Peters, and as a far-left Democrat, I like that. If you don't, it's not because I'm wrong, it's because you don't want as big of reconciliation bills as I do.
It is well-documented that federal elections are treated differently by voters than state elections. What you say about voters wanting balance at the state level is true, but it doesn't necessarily hold true at the federal level. As for the Kentucky race you cite, Andy Beshear won by 4 more points in 2023 than 2019 with 30,000 fewer votes, which means Republicans couldn't be bothered to show up for a suave black man on Election Day. There was no crossover. Republicans simply stayed home. It doesn't apply. There's a reason I voted no on an amendment to changing our Gov. races to coincide with federal elections, because I know any Democrat would get smoked with all the Trump trash who shows up on federal election days versus forgetting there's an election in an odd-numbered year.
At the end of the day, our donor-class side of the party will cater to you until you leave us for "moderate" Republicans again, if it can ever be said in the next 25 years that a Republican who remained one throughout the MAGA years can become "moderate" again when kowtowing so spectacularly to all of this fucking disgusting bullshit. Thom Tillis is a spineless bitch. Susan Collins is a spineless bitch. Those are your "moderates", continuing to pave the way. The Republican Party continues to move further right, and has since the 1960s, accelerating in the 80s and beyond. The moderates are voting for Democrats now, people like you who pulls our party right and says moderation is correct. I just don't see who or what force within the GOP is going to bring them back to the middle in any way, shape, or form as they all are so far-right on even the cultural issues now.

The problem with his statement is that moderate, country club Republicans do not exist anymore. The Republicans have goosestepped so far to the right that half the Democrats are now conservatives who are smeared as raging leftists by the fash.
