    Feels similar to what :matt-jokerfied: said about overturning RvW - it would make political sense to NOT do it and run on it as an election promise forever, but the undead ghouls at the reins have completely lost control of the forces they unleashed.

      Yeah, they might be predicting that the US in for some real hard(er) times next cycle and want their hands to be clean of it.

        that was kind of my working theory, i take all these nuts as a bad sign of things to come.

    Honestly Dr. Oz would probably win if his opponent was a normal Democratic Party candidate

      The dog story is pretty wild, the fact that he is even in the running still is kind of a testament to the truth in this lol

    I feel like Repos will win Bolso style this and\or in 2024. Fascism is rising rapidly and furiously, the neolibs stand zero chance.

      Seriously, yeah. I haven't been following closely but I'd be surprised if Walker's scandals have done anything to his odds.

      He was framed by the deepstate. The ADL replaced his son with a brainwashed clone. That woman is lying, you know how they are. He was actually paying and threatening her not to get an abortion. Justin Trudeau dressed up as Herschel and threatened her as a false flag. The devil is testing you. She wasn't even pregnant.

      ☝️Any of these statements would work fine, but they'll be used all together and will somehow work exponentially better that way

        You dont even need any of these. They dont care if people they like get abortions, its about banning it for them. They will just shrug all that off.

    I loved that AP piece today about Fetterman: "Fetterman records show light schedule as Pa. lieutenant gov." archive link

    Like who is this for? The Lt. Gov of the 5th largest state is definitely less qualified than the actual medical doctor who peddled supplement scams and fraud on viewers of their talk show program so blatantly that they were actually summoned to a Congressional hearing over it.

      For real. Matt may be drunk and raving in the latest one, but between him, Chris, and Dave Weigel, I think there's a lot of good analysis.

    These candidates aren't meant to appeal to leftists. These candidates appeal to chuds. Chuds love has-been reality TV stars and religious zealots.

        that beats the fake newspapers going around here which is just pages of mugshots and "YOUR GOVERNOR WANTS TO PUT ALL OF THESE [redacted] CRIMINALS BACK ON THE STREETS, VOTE FOR [literal humunculous] IF YOU WANT TO STOP THE RADICAL LEFT FROM EXECUTING CHRISTIANS"

    I know Democratic Party entryism is hopeless, but if I wasn't an absolute coward (and had my shit together), I would run for office. I'd call myself pro-working class and do what fetterman does, but I'll still hide my power level on socialism.

      I think with a small, dedicated organizational structure, socialists can make inroads into local party politics. Anything at state level or above tho and you have to bend the knee.
