Whenever I hear a female political candidate list "Mother" as one of her qualifications, I instantly ignore her. I'm bringing this up because there's a dumb bimbo running for state representative down here, and I've been bombarded with her ads. Just think of a South Texas, Mexican-American Lauren Boebert or Marjorie Taylor Greene. "Liberals in Congress are making things too expensive!" is LITERALLY one of her talking points. Yeah, Toots, the "liberals in Congress" have total control of the market.
One of my devs is a Mexican living in Denver. We only refer to him as LatinX because he fucking hates it.
Nothing pushes people to the right like an uptick in petty and violent crime. Or at least how much of it is being reported. Everyone wants criminal justice reform until some of those policies come home to roost.
It sounds like it wasn't criminal justice reform as much as it was just a dereliction of duty on his part. I don't know what the people of SF expected; the guy's parents are convicted domestic terrorists/murders and he was raised by other people in their movement or whatever.
Like that pilot lady who tried to unseat McConnell. She had one of the most heavily funded campaigns and she had less than zero chance of winning.
You must have missed the requirement that we all use whatever terms 20-something white girls tell us to use. It changes daily.
Elections are always a popularity contest. From your high school right up to the highest post in the land.
I don’t want to live in a world where “professional activist” is considered to be an actual thing. Absolute fucking parasites who attempt to profiteer over whatever tragedy is cooking up in the media lately.
So the Michigan GOP is a clusterfuck. Five candidates were disqualified from the Gubernatorial election for fraud, and the frontrunner among the remainder was just arrested by the FBI in conjunction with January 6.
