Good. More young, moderate, non-psychopaths need to be representative of their people. I may not agree with her other policy positions, but it’s at least good to see someone on the other side of the aisle who isn’t a religious nut or Trumpist.

If everyone was so cynical all the time, then nobody would get handjobs.
Gotta be a bit more positive and forward thinking.
Hand-jobs for progression!
Wait why not?
Good for her. She’s facing a steep uphill battle because she’s not the GOP’s preferred candidate. But the party needs more smart, moderate, clear-thinking representatives like her. Hopefully with this campaign she will be an example for others.
Oh they’ll make an example of her. I’m sure the GOP want all the newcomers to know just what happens if you don’t toe the line.
Im wondering why she doesn’t run as a Democrat but trying to pull the nuthouse closer to centre is a good thing too.
I’d actually argue this is better than just running as a Dem. As a Dem its just noise. But as Rep she stands to get some exposure and getting the base there to actually have a conversation about these important issues.
The political reality in ND is that having the (D) is the end of the road for you. Since neither party actually represents a specific policy platform, I guess it’s 6 of 1 in an environment like that.
After all, what are modern Republicans even about? Obviously they want to deny global warming, police uteruses, kill queer people, theocratize the government… but what policies do they actually care about that aren’t equally present in the Democratic caucus?
what are modern Republicans even about?
Cruelty. You can run circles around pretty much any issue pointing out examples of their hypocrisy and inconsistency, but they’re pretty reliable with harming their community.
Once you acknowledge that the cruelty is the point, their bullshit starts to make a lot more sense.
They want to deny police uteruses? 🤔
Not even metaphorically. They want to deny all uteruses. Police or otherwise lol.
To run as a Democrat in ND is to automatically lose. The portion of the electorate that will refuse to look beyond the team sports identity is so huge, if you actually want to participate, you have to technically be a member of the correct “team”.
I am amazed at how broadly your comment could be applied to nearly all political scenarios. There are three independents or non-blue/red in all of both houses of congress. And one of them is Simena who got elected as a Dem I believe.
Who cares she still a republican and therefore sucks.
Don’t you want people who would change the Republican Party so they suck less? Or are you an accelerationist?
I’ve still yet to see an example of this hypothetical person you’re alluding to, who is genuinely working towards this change in the gop? It is really only oppositionist and temporary.
Liz cheney, for example, seemed to be something approaching this during impeachment, but she was just fighting for her political life and saw her only angle. And of course, in the same breath she’ll say that “liberals are aborting babies after they are born”.

I want two, pro-choice parties. I want two anti-trump parties. I want two pro-gun parties.
When the shit that the parties differ on is shit I don’t care about, mission accomplished.
“I never wanted Miss America to be my peak in life,” Mund told The Independent. “I wanted it to be the springboard for whatever comes next.”
Well, at least that’s a positive attitude. She didn’t wanna end up the high-school quarterback who peaked and relived stories of greatness like Al Bundy.
This is the feel good news I needed in my day.
The qualifications you need as a politician these days
We are not utopians. We know that an unskilled labourer or a cook cannot immediately get on with the job of state administration. In this we agree with the Cadets, with Breshkovskaya, and with Tsereteli. We differ, however, from these citizens in that we demand an immediate break with the prejudiced view that only the rich, or officials chosen from rich families, are capable of administering the state, of performing the ordinary, everyday work of administration. We demand that training in the work of state administration be conducted by class-conscious workers and soldiers and that this training be begun at once, i.e., that a beginning be made at once in training all the working people, all the poor, for this work.

FLazy: No public nudes.
She would be the repugs pelosi
I don’t even get the comparison. Are you calling Pelosi hot or something?
No. She was also a pageant participant
All I’m getting when I try to google that is this sort of thing: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/nancy-pelosi-miss-lube-rack-1959/
What are you referring to?
Maybe thats where i saw it. Thanks for clearing it up
