Re: 2024 Primary
My thoughts exactly. People want better options but then choose the option that leads to more of the same.

The corruption lies with money in politics. It’s what moves the needle. The masses don’t spend enough to gain political access and enter the bubble.AZGrizFan wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 8:37 am“Don’t spend enough money”? WTF does that mean?kalm wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 8:35 am

He was the "best" choice in the shit salad and nothing more. In typical Trump fashion he let it go to his head.

Re: 2024 Primary
Last election I was faced with terrible choices. I cannot stand Senator Joni Ernst but the Democrat alternative was even worse. The race was expected to be close and Ernst ended up wining at 51.7%. Do I vote for Ernst who at least will provide a R senator as a buffer to the stupidity in DC or do I vote for the Libertarian candidate? If I vote for the Libertarian and the Democrat wins what happens? If Ernst loses we now have a 51-49 D majority instead of the tie we have today. Does the garbage voting rights bill pass? The BBB passes? All shitty options....Winterborn wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 8:53 amMy thoughts exactly. People want better options but then choose the option that leads to more of the same.

Re: 2024 Primary
I don't have a problem with how Fiver voted. He evaluated his options and made an informed decision.
If I was in his position, I might have voted differently based on my opinions and beliefs. Voting for what you believe is best for your district, state and country isn't wrong regardless of how you vote.

There is always a race each election cycle the same question and wind up picking the best of a shitty option. So I guess it is easy for me to say pick the best option but the real world doesn't always allow that choice.
Which is why I said what I did about Haley. I can see several situations where I wind up voting for her, but I will not like it.

Maybe it’s because, day in, day out, the media tell us that the GOP is “the Party of Trump”! Apparently, this has led a lot of Republicans to conclude that they must not be Republicans, after all. (At least, among the Republicans contacted by these pollsters. I assume they didn’t have any respondents in Florida, where “Republican” has a much more favorable connotation.)
Thanks to the media’s lies, the only people calling themselves “Republicans” these days are the Trump die-hards. In other words, the blockbuster conclusion of this poll is: Trump die-hards like Trump!

If you read their speeches, they advocated what the Republicans advocate today.
The Democrats have left the traditional behind and the Republicans have picked them up.
The rhetoric that the Republicans have become Uber Conservative is a mlm mythology that only works if you accept that Democrats have not turned hard left.
The racism dog whistle used by the left is just to take the spotlight off the left’s agenda and to smear the Republicans unfairly.

According to these stats less than 100 were murdered total (race not included) in the line of duty, but surprisingly, Covid killed 350 in the line of duty.
