2020 US General Election Thread VII: Summer of Discontent

[Shrillland]

NYT made a suggestion, and I agree with what I'm seeing, so another call to make:

MO-Amendment 2: Approved

Is that medicaid expansion ?

It is indeed. 75% in and Yes is ahead by 20,551. NYT says that since it squeaked into approval in ruby-red St. Charles County, it'll likely pass.

So many poor rural counties voted against it. Republicans voting against their own interest. I always hate to see it.

[Reploid Productions]

No, I'm saying most who voted are either mentally inefficient or did it out of desperation/because berine lost

Given your history on your last puppet, one would have hoped you would realize that this is not how we conduct debate here. I see you JUST came off a 10 day forumban and a deletion not even two weeks ago, so there's little reason to grant any particular leniency given your track record.

*** Solvokina, 2-week forumban for flamebaiting/trolling. ***

[Shrillland]

Another call:

Dem AZ-2(Tuscon-Sierra Vista): Ann Kirkpatrick

[United States of Devonta]

Cori Bush has taken the lead in the MO-01 primary race! Lets go!!

[Lamoni]

You should be respectful of Black African Americans and Hispanic Latinos, for their support of President Trump, while strongly disagreeing with them, on their different economic, political and social views. Like I respect yours, while strongly disagreeing with them.

I've said this before, I strongly suspect GMS is a parody account or some kind of bot. I can't prove any of that but that's what I think.

*** Warning for troll naming ***
It is not up to you, to post that someone is a troll. This is your second time being warned for the same offense.

[Shrillland]

A couple more calls:

Dem AZ-6(Phoenix-Scottsdale): Hiral Tiperneni
GOP AZ-9(Phoenix-Mesa): Dave Giles
GOP MI-8(Lansing-Rochester Hills): Paul Junge
GOP MO-1(St. Louis): Anthony Rogers

Further down ballot, in the Maricopa County Sheriff's race, it's a close GOP primary with less than 500 votes between Jerry Sheridan and that man Joe Arpaio again.

[Alcala-Cordel]

Auth-right be like

We aren’t auth right. Not everyone who opposes anarchism is auth right

I'm accusing Solvokina of being authright in denial, you're just a liberal.

I hope Arpaio loses. It is disgusting that he might not.

The race has been called for Cori Bush in MO-1

He's fucking 88, why is he running for Sheriff again? And does he want to lose...again? The state already booted him out once.

Therm is a tito stan IIRC. That doesn't prevent liberalism from being a influence but there's a distinction there.

He tried to run for the AZ Senate in 2018 against Kelli Ward and Martha McSally but failed. McSally is doing her best to be Trump's rubber stamp while Ward is the chair of the AZ GOP and trying to outwit other state GOPs in the process.

Revisionism isn't much better imo but that is good to know. Thermodolia needs to read Marx, he was pretty clear that communism is stateless.

Maricopa County is a strange place - take my word for it. Republicans here are all over the place politically, but they all share one thing in common, and that is their visceral hatred of Mexican-Americans. That is their unifier, and for decades, Sheriff Joe embodied that in his authoritarian, thuggish tenure.

He won't win the General, but his primary win is so unsurprising. He's an icon to snowbird and boomer Republicans in Arizona.

Edit: Not primary win, just overall primary success.

[Major-Tom]

Good on Cori Bush though.

[United States of Devonta]

Good on Cori Bush though.

She cam from behind to beat a political dynasty that had been in power for 51 years!!

This after losing by 20% in 2018. She also is the OG Justice Dem.

[Shrillland]

More gravy!...sorry, more calls:

Dem AZ-8(Peoria-Surprise): Michael Muscato
Dem MO-1(St. Louis): Cori Bush

First big upset of the night, and it might not be the last.

He was actually a pretty stellar congressman, so I was def neutral on the outcome, but I think some new leadership in the St. Louis metro could be refreshing.

It is. I could be less hyperbolic, perhaps, obviously not every Republican in the PHX metro hates Mexicans, but having spent 12+ years in the most ruby red parts of the PHX area (and still having my whole fam there), it's probably more true that most Republicans there over the age of, say, 40, is more racist than anybody I've ever encountered in Mississippi or Alabama.

Must be the heat, man.

Worse, he was convicted of criminal contempt of court, in 2017. Trump pardoned him.

If he's not too old to run for office, he's not too old to be in jail.

Please Maricopa County, don't elect a criminal as Sheriff. Elect a dead coyote before you elect him!
