I think the sad fact is many people in the US are okay with financing genocide as long as they don't have to hear Trump's name or suffer any consequences personally. As long as some kind of right wing boogeymany exists, you can convince most democratic voters that genocide is permissable enough to not disqualify a candidate.

They're there to sheepdog the voters into believing progressive candidates a valued part of the democratic party despite the fact that more than most of the good things progressives have accomplished are entirely outside of the chambers of congress. The democrats refuse to work with progressives unless they are forced too, like that time the progressives asked Pelosi to consider stock trading bans and she denied them until it was clear that was horrible PR, then decided to come around to vocally supporting it later, once the political will to pass the bill was dying down. Progressives are there for show.

Most of his base likes him because he's a bad candidate. They have been trained by their chosen media to desire bad traits and cast uncertainty and doubt on good traits. They love him precisely because he is horrible. If there was a worse candidate than Trump, they'd vote for them instead. In fact many of these people who are already fed up with Trump are going right to RFK because they desire bad traits.

Lots of good people out that way, glad their voices are finally beating out the others. All the good people I've met there didn't hesitate to tell me about how many not so good people there are there too though.

Ohio is not an expensive place to move to comparatively, not yet anyway. I think this gives a lot of hope and options to people living around Ohio to move there for the safety and the grass. These two laws together, despite the GOPs best efforts, make Ohio an attractive option and the states gonna see growth as people and buisness take advantage of that.

Honestly, if Ohio let the people directly decide more often it would be a lot less rare.

Im gonna say the fact that biden is in the oval office as trump throws toddler tantrums in a courtroom shows the opposite.

I mean, I feel like it was easy for me to think you were. All I'm saying is if winning an election is the bar, then there's not many conclusions you can draw for the general that way since they've both won. The head to head is more important, as you've said. But still that doesn't mean Biden is a good candidate since the only time he won, in about half a dozen attempts, was against one of the worst candidates of all time. Biden is a better candidate than Trump sure, but so was Hillary and that didn't help her.

Fuck, now I'm more interested in finding that out than anything about the article.
