David Steinglass, a wealthy donor, has supported scores of Democrats running for office and calls himself an activist for transgender rights. So his donation earlier this year to a far-right candidate in Wisconsin’s U.S. Senate race seemed wildly out of character.
For those who didn’t skim the article, they’re donating to far right candidates in primaries hoping it will make Republican chances of winning lower.
Fuck this kind of political gamesmanship. We need ranked choice so fucking bad.
Man, I’m not sure it would help when half the country doesn’t believe Trump tried to overthrow democracy.
If more than half the country is insane then America is an insane country. The number of insane people seems to be around 35% right now - but if it did get above 50% then, well, we’re fucked. Do we admit America is a failed state or do we form an authoritarian liberal government to steer the population correctly inspite of the popular will.
That’d be a fucking hard question and I hope we don’t get there - as long as possible I’d like to believe in democracy.
Nah it would. I’ve spoken to a lot of Republicans that don’t like trump a lot, but feel he best aligns with what they would like the government to do. Giving them a saner option would probably siphon off votes from trump
