I do think Cook Out is the best value.

I’m one of the few here who votes split ticket in the current environment. And in NC races I’ve almost always been on the side of the statewide winner in every election recently. Just saying I’m not going to answer definitively if I’ll vote for Cooper or not until I know who he’s running against...

You are correct. I voted for Cooper for governor, and I would vote for him for POTUS depending who the Republican was, but it would be a higher bar for me to vote for him for Senate for the reasons mentioned. The Senate is all about numbers and which party has power. When Roy Cooper is the head...

Maher is a very thoughtful guy. I don’t agree with most of his politics but still respect him as someone who can think for himself.

Awesome interview clip there. He meant business. Not sure I’ve seen him that mad before.

So where do we stand? We blew the shit out of Iran’s nuke facilities, then Iran couldn’t do anything about it whatsoever, and now we’ve got a ceasefire that recently became effective?

More likely would vote for him for POTUS than I would for US Senate, because POTUS has a lot more direct influence, whereas in the Senate you’re just a number for your party. I really hope he is our governor one day, above all else. I happily voted for him for AG and would do the same for...

While I somewhat agree, the platform of each party is malleable. Both parties will continue to tweak their platform to attract roughly 50% of the vote. So in your hypothetical, if Dems all of a sudden “figured out” the messaging, there are issues (like abortion) where Republicans would have to...

Yep, Jackson is a progressive dude. He just happens to also be a good messenger who has common sense and who can connect with people. He’s a good leader and the type of person that people want in Washington fighting for our interests back home. That’s important regardless of policy positions.

I think we agree. I think Jeff Jackson can sell progressive ideas way better than Kamala Harris can, even if he isn’t as far left as her. He’s the type of leader they need but they didn’t even let him run for US Senate.

The issue Democrats have currently is that the far left candidates (Bernie, etc) would get crushed by independents and people in the middle of the spectrum. And I think the party knows that, which is why they rigged the primary against Bernie in both 2016 & 2020, particularly in 2020 when they...

You basically described me to a tee in this post. And I’m not alone!

This Damsky guy hates Trump. He sides with Iran and thinks Trump is way too in bed with Israel (“the Jews”)

Traditional family values (as it relates to marriage, gender, etc), strong faith, patriotism.

African-American support for Mayor Pete is a major issue. In general, African-Americans tend to be much more socially conservative than all the white liberals (like the bubble here) who love Pete.
