    Blatantly corrupt.

      His opponent is Kari fucking Lake, so I guess he figures we’ll just roll over and take it. The country is more fucked up and hopelessly mired in systems of violent subjugation than I’ve ever seen in my lifetime and I have no idea what to do about it other than share the news and volunteer in my community.

        FFS. “The lesser of two evils” seems both timely and inappropriate, for some reason.

      Walk me through your thought process here. You do understand that “representing the concerns of supporters and constituents” is a core part of being an elected official in a representative democracy, right? RIGHT?

        The police association is not a constituent.

    I’m in Arizona and was (still am, because absolutely fuck Kari Lake) planning on voting for Ruben. Hell, I was as excited to vote for Ruben as I am to vote for Kamala.

    This is extremely disappointing. They call it a shift to appeal to moderates and independents, but that just makes me question how fucked our politics are if someone like Ruben Gallego isn’t already considered a moderate. Kamala is a moderate, Walz is a moderate, our entire Democratic party is moderate.

    I’m so tired of bowing to right-wing fuckwits. I’m so tired of ceding ground at every damn opportunity. Human rights are not radical. Police reform is not radical. Workers’ rights are not radical. Do fucking better, Devil Dog.

      Yeah I agree, it’s encouraging for the short term, and I must emphasize that it is absolutely imperative that we defeat the GOP in this election over anything else.

      However it’s concerning to see the Dems tracking to the right inch by inch. We need to make sure we’re making allies on the left while we do elect Kamala, so that we have a stronger leftist coalition for the coming years.

    Hopefully this makes the DoJ look at them even harder.
