Dan is a really good chance to flip a critical senate seat. Fischer is an unpopular senator (polling 24% favorable) and backed purely by big money pac’s and republican incumbent inertia, basically has nothing else going for her. Nebraska is red but very blue collar. He’s fully behind human rights and is the most pro-labor candidate you can find.
I highly recommend checking him out, and donating/volunteering on phone banks if you can. https://osbornforsenate.com/
Check out his platform good stuff but he still a bit conservative and I fear he vote with Republicans more than he would with Democrats. But wish him luck better than what currently in office.
No… Let’s be extremely clear. This is a dyed-in-the-wool conservative. A real conservative, not one of these corpo-christo-fascistic assholes wearing conservative skin-suits now.
These are the people we’re supposed to be working with. They slow down progress a little bit to let the ideas fully bake. They moderate cultural change ensuring society keeps an eye on history and doesn’t completely leave behind the elderly and rural. They have a valuable place in our government and our society.
These days in America they have largely gotten lumped into the “moderates”, “undecided”, “centrists”, and “fence sitters”, while actual fucking fascism entrenches itself deeper and deeper into our government.
Democrats need to be forming coalitions with them and offering them a party at the table separate from fascist MAGA, but also separate from Democrats. They’ll pull voters away from MAGA and undecided, costing Democrats very little but emptying the floor from under the modern GOP.
Dude I hate conservatives and Don’t believe they serve anything but holding us back. I fucking sick of tired of slow progress while the fucking planet is becoming unlivable. So just you understand how I don’t want any conservative in fucking office.
They are the reason we get fucking fascism with their slowing up progress.
Conservatives have been shit since before even Reagan.
Disagree. I’m progressive and I bet most of our values align but reasonable conservative voices are important.

On the contrary: the corpo-christo-fascistic assholes are the true conservatives. The thing you think “conservatism” is, is actually nothing but a lie they tell to make their ideology seem less blatantly authoritarian and abhorrent than it really is.
Purple is closer to blue than red is.
But, where McMullin ultimately accepted the Utah Democratic Party’s nomination, Osborn has disavowed the endorsements of any political parties or politicians. Where Sanders and King caucus with the Democrats, Osborn has made no such commitment.
In May, his campaign sent out a press release announcing this distinction.
“Probably no political campaign has ever done this but we want to put people above politicians, parties and profits,” Osborn was quoted as saying in the release. “Whether you are Republican, Independent, Libertarian, Democrat, I don’t care. I welcome all to join me to change Washington.”
This decision was met by swift rebuke from the Nebraska Democratic Party, who had planned to endorse him, and said they were now looking for write-in candidates.
Fuckin peak DNC energy right here
Just say you get where he’s coming from and give him the endorsement anyway. If you’re being decent people, he’ll probably be with you and be an ally and you don’t have to throw the election to a Republican. If he thinks you’re being pieces of shit, he won’t be with you. If that idea is offensive to you, so much that you’d rather have a Republican, in a fucking CRITICAL role in government, in a CRITICAL election… I think you need to start poking and smelling at yourself, and start to do some soul searching and fixing in regards to how it got to be this way.
(I won’t even address the injustice of how they want to treat him or the unwisdom of teaching this guy, and anyone who might want to follow in his footsteps, that the Democrats are the enemy. It’s a pointless and egregious fuckup even if we’re just talking tactics in the senate in a very narrow way for this specific election.)
Yeah screw this. Democrats should throw their weight behind this guy. They’re our best opportunity of getting this Senate seat away from Republicans. Dems shouldn’t be running any candidate against them.
has anyone else in government had tattoos before?
finally someone that looks like a normal person
Fetterman has tattoos.
Eh… do you have any other examples so I can avoid thinking of that absolute disappointment? I’ve got enough to be depressed about right now.
Lots, I’m sure. A lot of military tattoos for sure. McCain, definitely.

No banner nag.
Republicans: not like that
