Yeah, it's also telling that centrists view what would be Tea Party/Freedom Caucus-level Republicans 10 years as a threat to their own candidates.Anthony Flack wrote: Wed Jun 29, 2022 6:42 am Somebody ought to tell the Democrats that boosting far-right candidates in Republican primaries in order to make their own candidate look better in the general is a dangerous game.
I assume referring to JB Pritzker (incumbent Democrat governor of Illinois) spending millions to run ads against a moderate Republican in the Republican primary, boosting a far-right nutjob to a huge victory in the primary?Anthony Flack wrote: Wed Jun 29, 2022 6:42 am Somebody ought to tell the Democrats that boosting far-right candidates in Republican primaries in order to make their own candidate look better in the general is a dangerous game. The 2016 presidential election obviously wasn't lesson enough. Even if you win you're still stoking extremism, you dicks.
The whackos they boosted here in Colorado lost. They played dirty and lost money.Anthony Flack wrote: Wed Jun 29, 2022 6:42 am Somebody ought to tell the Democrats that boosting far-right candidates in Republican primaries in order to make their own candidate look better in the general is a dangerous game.

That's an understatement. With every state adjacent to Illinois now getting their Gilead on, you really can't afford any more local victories for white life.jfv wrote: Wed Jun 29, 2022 7:56 am (More to say about JB Pritzker. I'd like to vote against him, but with many civil rights being threatened at the federal level, and with a wife and two teenage daughters, I don't foresee voting for anyone other than a Democrat for Illinois governor anytime soon.)

Oh sorry, my very clearly-enunciated reference to white replacement theory which I didn't bother to correct and which you all cheered for was a just a meaningless verbal slip-up in a sentence that wasn't supposed to contain any "wh" sounds at all. How did that get in there? I guess I've been hunting too many wascally wabbits! Well, you all know how easy it is to say "white" when you meant to say "the right to".
If anyone thinks Florida is the most fucked up state, you have NOT spent enough time in Colorado. There are some twisted people scattered around those communities. More than you think. Indian Hills, which is where I went to summer camp, 45 minutes from Denver. It was allegedly like half KKK at some point.Anthony Flack wrote: Wed Jun 29, 2022 8:30 pmAnd I quote:

Ahem, not Denver, CO voters. Not Fort Collins, or Greeley, or Boulder. The majority rural 3rd district with its crowning metropolis being Grand Junction. Those people voted for Boebert. The part of our state that would secede if they could and instantly become a microcosm of 3rd world living conditions, except I guess they have resorts like Aspen.Anthony Flack wrote: Wed Jun 29, 2022 8:30 pmAnd I quote:
