On a side note, I think the word 'gubernatorial' is really weird. Like what's up with that? Did someone try to be a smart ass back in the day? Like "Look at me, I'm so smart, I speak Latin."
I do not like it :cat-confused:I think, even despite their severity, we can overcome our differences :Care-Comrade:
Funnily enough, "gubernator" actually is latin, but it means a helmsmen or a governor.
I heard that as a person with a cold doing a Crappy Arnold impression.
i explicitly tried to avoid it in my title but i dont think i worded mine well either lol
I'm pretty sure Lenin would be okay with this as long as well all supported him and a single socialist per race.
Virginia is a state too close to DC. North Virginia (NoVa) is increasingly full of those who defend establishment interests like defense contractors, lobbyists, and lawyers. I could see someone like Carter being more successful in another state, but Virginia would be a heavily uphill battle.
Damn I can't believe he's trying to redline POC out of the governor's mansion not a good look sweaty
If its any help he also retweeted that he has filed, but is still debating actually running. Just keeping his options open, but yeah I dont see him winning
Does he have to give up his seat to run? He probably won't win so if he has to, he shouldn't. But if he keeps his seat or whatever fuck it. Run and force concessions from the libs or go for the win. If he has the seat to fall back to why not?
. There is not a law saying he cant run for governor while elected, but there is one saying he cannot raise money while elected and the state legislature isnt in session. So he'd realistically have to resign to raise money full time.

State campaign finance laws are so scummy. Legislators usually don't get paid enough either.
Yeah, you have places like New Hampshire where State Reps make $200/term, basically designing it so only retirees, small business owners, and wealthy lawyers can afford to become a Representative.
But he could do it while they are in session? I don’t see the logic in that.
I wonder if somebody could set up a Super-PAC to collect online donations for him, so that he could keep his seat and still have the resources to get the message out.
he's gonna lose the idpol lib vote and the worst option (Terry) will win if lee runs, imho
anyone remember why dsa dropped affiliation with him? i remember some controversy or something about it a while back
Who even cares. The left acts like a home owner's association holding grudges for decades because someone's Daschund shit in their yard in 1987.
idk but he wasnt endorsed by dsa again this time so i was curious why
Julia Salazar has openly identified as a marxist and praised marx and lenin and been on rev left radio and shes been endorsed twice as an nyc state senator, never really seen Carter talk about anything even like that. there was some controversy about some alleged stuff or something i forget what. im sure someone knows what im talking about lmao cmon
Lee is so fucking cool, I love his Twitter dunks all day on dumb ass chuds. He has ALOT of haters
