Yep, it was a conspiracy. Warn everybody not to challenge the incumbent, wait til the last second so nobody else can file, then announce just as the next man up files and the time expires. That's how the game is played.

Nicely done.

If you are a competing member of the MT GOP you can like it or lump it, but you can do nothing about it.

Apparently got the President @ U if Montana to run as an Indy who is getting endorsed by the former Dem Senator. So maybe interesting for 10 minutes after poll closing.

She had a great run. I really wished I lived in her district to vote for her.

Only thing I could see that hurt her was she was too city of Chicago focused. The IL-9 is a weird district that goes from Northshore of Chicago, up towards Evanston and west to Morton Grove, but then takes an absolute sliver of land northwest until you're in the far north old money suburbs then goes due west for 25 miles.

Her campaign headquarters were literally an hour drive in good traffic via tollway to the far west end of the district. She couldn't have been more remote.

Daniel Biss is the Mayor of Evanston, so he was already known in the district in Evanston/Morton Grove/Niles.

Biss was also side-by-side with Kat fighting against ICE in Bridgeview, and both candidates did not accept AIPAC money.

Both Biss and Kat were shoulders above on the rest of the field though.


*edit*
To add, she didn't run a bad campaign, in fact, I think hers was one of the best. It's just her district is still stubborn, old-money, older aged families.

Getting Biss shouldn’t be something people are sad about, but I’m sure the extremely online disagree.

AIPAC tried to ratfuck that election but could not quite manage it. They are really showing their true colors.

Political reporter Dave Weigel catalogued some of the worst tactics, including a crypto-funded ad attacking a Bernie Sanders-style progressive aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America as a “corporate pawn”—a blatant attempt to kneecap him in a progressive district.

And AIPAC was, as usual, the worst offender.

“Illinois pop-up groups funded by AIPAC, with innocuous names like ‘Elect Chicago Women,’ have spent millions on ads that falsely portray pro-Israel candidates as anti-Trump warriors and pro-Palestinian candidates as secret right-wingers,” Weigel reported.

So the corporate lobby now goes into progressive districts and smears the progressives as corporate and portrays their own puppets as the progressives.

It is going to become very important to have ratings entities which rank the candidates' true allegiance.

But then it's just a matter of time, probably happening already, for candidates to just maintain the fiction right from the start. Do and say everything right except the actual votes, for which they will always have some bullshit excuse.

100% lying, all the time. Every Member a mini-Dump.

You don’t strike me as someone that ignores personal experiences because of someone-you’ve-never-met’s edgy hot takes.

In other words, I don’t take it to mean someone who is on the internet a lot, just someone who’s let it turn their brain into pudding.

I read "extremely online" as people who have become the stereotype of the NPC who is merely waiting there passively ready to activate and spew when the right stimulae happens. They are mousetraps set to automatically spring. If you go to reddit at least a fifth of the traffic are just such people. (Assuming they are people and not bots, which is possible.)

I am online all day long, quite literally. But I can still think for myself.

Poorly, granted.
