This is very promising, fingers crossed. The Congressional candidate I've been campaigning for is getting crushed by the establishment Dem party pick. It's pretty disappointing.

Herstory Begins Now posted:so the complaint is that the dems aren't running anyone but also that in this case they're running someone who has a chance of winning, okay got it, thanks Uh, no - if you think McGrath has a chance, you don't got it.

LegendaryFrog posted:To be fair, they had a candidate. Josh Mahony withdrew for mystery reasons right before the deadline to file, and has refused to communicate with the DNC to even try to figure out how to find a replacement. This is far from a case of "Democrats just figured it wasn't worth the effort." If anything, it reeks of him taking a bribe and timing his withdrawal for when it would maximize the chances that Tom Cotton would end up running unopposed. I would say campaign finance shenanigans is much more likely than a bribe.

They could have put a ham sandwich on the republican ticket and it still would win by double digits against any Democratic challenger in Arkansas.

Tom Cotton is going to run for president on a platform of "Kill Antifa" and he's going to get A LOT of votes.

Rigel posted:The media and AP are now falling in line, Steve King is out. A big vote dump just came in and King's deficit ballooned to almost 10% with 95% in, so he lost pretty badly. This sounds like a good thing? For those not in the know like me. Who is this guy and why what evils did he do?

He's your typical Trumpist chud who just wasn't really good at hiding his outward white supremacy as most of the others are so he would go to Europe and meet with fascists and say stuff like the kids in cages at the border had "caves the size of cantaloupes" from being drug mules. Herstory Begins Now posted:You two were just saying that it's really important that they run hopeless candidates in elections they weren't going to win though Kentucky isn't like Arkansas.

(not in terms of effectiveness or being able to do bad things, just in terms of his hate speech) Literal white supremacist who was so racist the GOP went "gently caress you, we are stripping you of all committee assignments and we want your rear end primaried". He was so bad that the Dems had a small chance to beat him if he was the nominee. They wont win IA-04 now, but its worth it.

Is there really any difference between Steve King and the median member of the republican caucus other than they know what stuff you shouldn't say on TV more than he does? They vote exactly the same way.

Yep, pretty loving huge. Full article: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/american-cities-are-not-battlespaces/612553/ "These articles require the obedience of LAWFUL orders. Not only should an unlawful order not be obeyed, obeying such an order can result in criminal prosecution. Military courts have long held that military members are accountable for their actions even while following orders.": (Applies to the least private and on up to on up to the most Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (currently GEN Mark A. Milley): https://www.thebalancecareers.com/military-orders-3332819 In theory, a military coup in the US doesn't amount to lots of military shooting, just a lot of general and other officer and NCO folks going, "nope." And a majority of enlisted folks from everywhere just standing down and going "nope" too. ACAB continues to be the current problem. Not seeing many of them resign in protest. Yay for the progressive mayors. One day at a time.
