Booker is so frustrating because he will sometimes give fiery speeches and get everyone hyped up but then turn around and vote exactly how the pharma lobbyists and APAIC dictate.
This. He talks a good game when the game calls for it, but for the most part he’s content to just let the pieces move around the board as they have been.
Man, mixed metaphors get messy.
Kansas is kind of out of the blue, just a Republican in blue paint.
Yeah that one smells fucky through and through. We’ll see how it plays out I guess.
Dude refused to buckle on trans support.
Edit: I see the dogpile starting above. I assumed the question was asked in good faith, since we can’t really expect everyone to keep up with everything. And I just regurgitated the last best thing I remembered about a long and eventful campaign season.
This is the part that needs to happen, unless they want shit to fall apart completely, of course.

Wait what?

Oh dear fucking lord what is it with these morons and people they know from TV?!?!?
Dude just finished moving all of his shit to Texas too. I hope the meltdown is epic.
It’s long long overdue but I’m all for it.
What the… oh. WITH. Gotcha.

Wasn’t this a line drawing/cartoon before, likely with different captions? Also, wtf is dude doing in the upper right frame? Yelling at his deformed red hand while raising his middle finger?
Every primary should be competitive, I don’t care if it’s AOC or Fettermen.
It’s been a loooong time since there was real primary competition for the local congress seat. Shit was bought and sold long ago, enforced by a “power broker” (read: mob boss) who rules regional politics with an iron fist. And the general is just a long string of ~70/30 splits. There was no challenger for the senate seat, either.
Progressives have been making a tiny bit of headway at the local level, at the cost of endless lawsuits and harassment for daring to go against the machine. But the vast majority of committee positions etc are patron/nepo placements even though they’re “elected.” Shit is thoroughly corrupt.
Yes, I still voted.
Hey now, my spouse and I spent close to an hour going over the school board candidates before filling out our ballots.
Might want to get that roof looked at, chief.
Please tell me that wasn’t the potty tentacle…
This is where I’d link to !Malaphors@slrpnk.net but my home base will be in limbo for a while 😬
Cackling over the 20,000 votes for the spoiler candidate.
