Blatantly corrupt.

His opponent is Kari fucking Lake, so I guess he figures we’ll just roll over and take it. The country is more fucked up and hopelessly mired in systems of violent subjugation than I’ve ever seen in my lifetime and I have no idea what to do about it other than share the news and volunteer in my community.

FFS. “The lesser of two evils” seems both timely and inappropriate, for some reason.

This is what “Vote Blue no mater who” gets you. It’s ok to demand better from your elected officials, even if their opponent is much worse. The Republicans are jist going to keep rumning more fascists while dudes like this keep preventing progress from occuring that will actually improve the country.

skvlp ,

Not a good situation by any stretch of the imagination. A corrupt candidate should not clear the bar, in my opinion, no matter who they run for.

This is what decades of people sitting out gets us. 1/3 of the country does not vote. Repubs are able to run further and further right fascists because their base will actually vote.

Walk me through your thought process here. You do understand that “representing the concerns of supporters and constituents” is a core part of being an elected official in a representative democracy, right? RIGHT?

The police association is not a constituent.

I’m in Arizona and was (still am, because absolutely fuck Kari Lake) planning on voting for Ruben. Hell, I was as excited to vote for Ruben as I am to vote for Kamala.

This is extremely disappointing. They call it a shift to appeal to moderates and independents, but that just makes me question how fucked our politics are if someone like Ruben Gallego isn’t already considered a moderate. Kamala is a moderate, Walz is a moderate, our entire Democratic party is moderate.

I’m so tired of bowing to right-wing fuckwits. I’m so tired of ceding ground at every damn opportunity. Human rights are not radical. Police reform is not radical. Workers’ rights are not radical. Do fucking better, Devil Dog.

This is unfortunately, by design.

It’s a bad design, but it is working as intended by the people who fought against establishing a true democracy in the US originally.

The electoral system and gerrymandering make it so a two party solution is the only real system that works; and one of those parties will always be moving away from the other, while the other has to move closer to the middle every time to “recapture” the voters who also shifted further from center.

It’s a bad system, and it needs an overhaul/update desperately. Other countries that have established democratic systems of government since the US was established (and is technically, on record, the “oldest” democracy. If you squint.) have superior constitutions and systems of government that ensure free and fair electoral practices where candidates don’t have to appeal to moderates because even edge case parties are still represented in their house of representatives.

Yeah I agree, it’s encouraging for the short term, and I must emphasize that it is absolutely imperative that we defeat the GOP in this election over anything else.

However it’s concerning to see the Dems tracking to the right inch by inch. We need to make sure we’re making allies on the left while we do elect Kamala, so that we have a stronger leftist coalition for the coming years.

It is more effective if you tell them that you think they are fuckwits after telling us.

Direct communication is easy in the 21st century.

As a person who is more than 6 months old, I have enough cognitive function to realize if someone asks me to specifically stop looking so hard into something, I should double the efforts to look because there’s a reason they don’t want me looking into it.

Seeing the person who asked get backed by police not 24hrs beforehand would make me quadruple it and request additional personnel to find whatever it is they’re scared of me finding.

Looks like Gallego has a copy of Sinema’s playbook, wtf Arizona?

Hopefully this makes the DoJ look at them even harder.

It’s ok. They’re only shooting brown people. /s
