The "far right": "Jews will not replace us."
The "far left": "Everyone deserves health care."
Centrists: "These, to me, are the same."

Average red-state Democratic candidate: former Navy SEAL turned small-town pediatrician, has never once said a curse word
Average blue-state Republican candidate:

Unsurprisingly, Sen. Collins joined Clr, Flynn in calling for cancellation of today’s Southie block party, similarly mischaracterizing the host — a Southie resident — as a commercial event promoter.
It's the spooky season. And the scariest thing in MA isn't any vampire, werewolf, or zombie, and it's not found in Salem.
What is it?
Ballot Question 3, 5, and 8. Remember to vote NO on 3, 5, and 8.
So I guess it's not only his Nazi son-in-law with a history of unhinged, offensive, violent statements.

The people in the Biden admin who aided, abetted, and covered up a genocide are changing their tune, probably because they know that their past actions could endanger thier ability to serve in future Dmeocratic administrations given where the base is.

Remember when Florida Republicans paid a random guy with the same last name as the Democrat to run in a Senate race to confuse voters? Then the Democrat lost by 32 votes?
Someone went to jail for that but nobody blocked the election results.

The effect of a lot of political media is preventing people from voting for what they want and instead encouraging them to play armchair strategist
#MichiganSenate
Undecided voter in Michigan says he is voting for Mike Rogers because he doesn’t want Abdul El-Sayed to win by a lot
“I have this hope that the outcome in Michigan will be that Benson wins by eight points, El-Sayed wins by two or three, and perhaps the future of the Democratic Party won't go down the tubes the way it did for the Republicans.”

It's honestly shocking that it gets no attention that Deaton is a confessed rapist.

Two weeks from Election Day and still zero reporting from any news outlets on this.
A major party Senate candidate had a sexual relationship with a 15 year old—as a full grown adult—and wrote about it in his own memoir. #mapoli

This is how the candidates are listed on Alaska's ballots. It's clearly marked, which one is the GOP candidate and which one is just a guy
NEW: DOJ is suing to prevent Alaska from certifying its election results until the state investigates whether the other "Dan Sullivan" on the ballot created "voter confusion" to the detriment of incumbent GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan.

The English language already has a term for when a Harvard professor and a group of private equity executives concoct an idea behind closed doors. That term is financial crisis.
Because of traveling across the state in ways that outstrip my ability to walk, I have taken on the new campaign tactic of "text-banking on the commuter rail."
"....Look at what the top-two system has produced in California and Washington: vote-splitting lockouts, perverse incentives to game the primary, and pressure on candidates without big money to drop out."

MA, vote YES On 4 because it is appalling that we aren't on this list already.

California friends, make a plan to make Mark Zuckerberg and other predatory, antisocial billionaires sad this election season.
