On the other hand, his primary win has gotten a MASSIVE amount of news coverage. This is a big amount of groundswell for an underfunded candidate. You’re right, the battle isn’t won yet, but spreading news and expressing support will only further that cause.

I’m pretty sure it’s a known strategy of a handful of billionaires (the richest man in PA comes to mind, though I forget his name) to back moderate dems to shift the board to the right.

Yeah I’m not sure this is true, though I imagine it’s only a matter of time. Anecdotally, but I know a guy who definitely has PTSD from, among other things, watching onscreen as such an automated weapon of war homed in on two combatants fleeing, closing in until finally one of them, looking over his shoulder directly at the camera, gave up and stopped running immediately before death.

Honestly it’s a pretty clever scam by conservatives. Run on a platform of big government is inept, wasting your money, we need to reduce spending and reduce taxes! Once in office, do nothing. Sabotage functional government. Obstruct long term projects. Now you have things to point to as proof that big government is bad and does nothing, because you were the big government and made sure nothing happens.

Don’t forget! If there’s dlc for that game, it’s not included there, either.

I’ve heard similar takes resolved with “this person is venomously sexist, but straight.” Once their sexual needs are met, the one thing they want out of a partner is done, it’s back to absolutely loathing women.

Sounds like a nightmare, tbh.
