    Well fuck, not even trying to say you’re not Republican-lite at this point just fucking flat out saying Democrats are literally Republicans.

      I mean, he’s a republican that endorsed Kamala Harris, so to me it sounds more like a moderate teaming up with another moderate in a state where that seems to be the best option.

        What do you have when 11 people sit at a table with one Nazi? You have a dozen Nazis.

          Look, a Mamdani style Democratic Socialist would be my first choice as well, but if a moderate is what is needed to be electable in the region over a trumplican I can cope.

            The most rational position here, thanks for giving me hope.

            Also, equating a moderate Kamala Harris-endorsing Republican Lieutenant Governor pick that is clearly a play for moderates in a purple state, to her competitor – Andy fucking Biggs – is just wild. For people who hate nazis so much, they sure like pushing tropes that help enable their victory.

        400K people and over 100K kids are now starving under moderate Democrat and moderate Republican leadership.

        And adding more of these assholes isn’t doing anyone any good and Abdul El-sayed won his race so that’s also showing that people are fed up with the status quo do nothing except support genocide Democrats.

          Isn’t that mostly because the federal government cut funding to the program, and Arizona was just hit disproportionately hard by the changes? It can’t just be because it’s a moderate in charge, there are other states with moderate leadership.

            And notice how Democrats did fuck all at the state level fail to push back or tell Republican to fuck all the way the fuck off. Hell the Democrats at the Federal level didn’t fight nearly hard enough against the BBB that starved families and children so I would really expect nothing less from shitty Democrats at the state and local levels either.

            Nope, you just had moderate Democrats lay down, roll over like submissive little asshats begging for more corporate money and now aligning with Republicans, don’t ever forget that even this Kamala endorsing asshole Republican believed in the same thing about gutting the social safety net and if you believe this Shitty Republican Christian now believes in a safety net for non-whites, well I’ve got multiple bridges to sell you.

            And now you’re literally aligning with Republicans who in their heart of hearts want to gut America. Great job guys.

      Mainstream Dems are little better than Republicans, they’re all just dancing to the tune of Citizens United these days. Anyone that isn’t is labelled a radical

    I think that’s one thing that could make me vote third party. Republicans are actively destroying this country. If you team up with one, you’re one of the bad ones, they’re not one of the good ones.
