    Why is anyone holding Democrats to such high standards? Yes this is shady but it went through courts and it’s not illegal.

    Meanwhile Republicans are out there everywhere doing crimes like crazy and everyone’s like well we expect them to do that.

    My feeling on this is gtfo with this bullshit.

      Laws are threats of violence established by the dominant socioeconomic class of any given nation. Conservatism demands that there is a protected class for whom the law protects, and a subjugated class for whom the law is used to opress. Every cycle, who qualifies as the protected class shrinks, and who is subjugated grows.

    Considering they have ranked choice voting the whole problem is pretty moot. Vote one rank 1 and the other rank 2. Not that even that is the issue because you’d have to practically not look at the ballot at all to accidentally vote wrong considering the incumbent is explicitly labelled the incumbent.

    Yeah, if it’s true that this was coordinated or in any way led or endorsed by the campaign or the DNC, this is truly the dumbest thing they could have possibly done aside from running a blue-dog.
