quite the handy victory for her

Just when I thought rural CO couldn't get dumber

Check the candidate debate. It was a clown show. Not the moderators though. They were kings. But the candidates all were fucking clown shoes. Apart from the token that seemed sincere but wouldn't fly with the racist base. Somehow Bobo seriously came out looking the better of the group while still being visually white enough. Had it been a skit on veep or some other show it would have been hilarious. I just hope the democrat candidate can win against her this time. They got close last time.

It was a Republican primary, i.e. they were already drawing from the two-digit IQ crowd.

the two-digit IQ crowd

I'm assuming the second digit was after the decimal point.

[-] Nightwingdragon@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Both digits are after the decimal point.

No, sorry. Only handies

[-] intelisense@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

I'm not American, but my 0.02€... this might be a good outcome if it's easier to defeat her at the general compared to a more moderate republican.

[-] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

This district is known for its republican voting. There’s a chance the challenger could win, but we would need a very strong turnout in a Trump crazy district.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
