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.
I desperately want to believe that about the media, but Tim Miller and the folks at Pod Save America (whom I trust to be brutally honest) are also constantly talking about how close the race is. I’m so fucking depressed about this shit. We are this close to having a literal fascist as President.
This fucking son of a bitch had to ask John Kelly who the good guys were in WWI.
FUCK.
