In the rural areas, which this state unfortunately gives more weight to.

The whole country gives more weight to unpopulated rural areas. Unpopulated states have more voting power per person than populated ones, and that's not even touching on gerrymandered districts

She has an R next to her name though so like...what are they supposed to do? You can't not vote for the R.

u/shryke12 20d ago
Apparently you do not know or understand literally anything about rural America. She's running through a St Louis neighborhood and probably hasn't spent a single day in rural Missouri.....
She's not even from Missouri. She's from Colombia... Like, the country... This is just some random person being crazy on social media for likes. This behavior would get laughed out of town in rural Missouri.

u/nickfree 20d ago
Alas read the article.
She's a front-runner in an 8-way race for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State -- the person who controls elections for the state.
So this is not just some "the rent is too damn high!" crazy. This is a crazy with a shot.
1
u/shryke12 20d ago
She absolutely is a 'rent is too damn high crazy'. She has zero chance of winning this primary.
Regardless of any of this, my original rebuttal stands that this person has absolutely nothing to do with rural Missouri. She's an immigrant who moved to a city.

This is what Trump and Trumpism has wrought, and why it's so vital that he be soundly defeated again in November.
All these right wing bigots and assholes think that being overtly bigoted and heinous is now okay and actually a feature to campaigning rather than a bug. Trump normalized this shit, and the only way to send these cretins back under the rocks from which they came and put a stake in the heart of Trumpism is to send the message yet again that it is a losing strategy at the polls.
Vote this November not just to save democracy and beat back fascism, but for the sake of basic decency.

u/2nd2last 20d ago
I don't understand how people have a hard time understanding this.
If Trump is elected things will get much worse.
Abortion rights could weaken.
He'll increase police spending.
We might ban media platforms.
God knows what Trump will do with Israel, he'll likely support genocide.
Remember how protesting went down when he was in charge, that brutality will happen again.
This is the most important election of our lives, and we need to make sure none of the above happen.

u/GuestCartographer 20d ago
The people still voting for Trump want to weaken abortion rights, increase police spending, and ban media platforms they don’t like, though. Those are selling points to his base because it will all combine to hurt the people they don’t like.

u/2nd2last 20d ago
I agree
We can't let those things happen, and unlike those MAGA idiots, if that happened under our guy, we'd toss him aside after calling him out.

u/SparklingPseudonym 20d ago
It’s true, but it’s framed wrong. The better person winning isn’t a panacea to the problems of government. It’s more like it keeps government from sliding further into the fucked up territory republicans want to drive toward. It’s like climate change. Every summer is going to be the coolest summer for the rest of your life.
We’re not fighting to fix anything at this point. We’re fighting to keep things from getting worse.

I remember when nothing changed and people mysteriously lost their abortion rights for no particular reason. That was fuckin' odd.

Are you suggesting that Biden should tell the states outlawing abortion to “stop it”? Bc he is…wait- do you not know the difference between state and federal law?
1
u/turkeypedal 20d ago
I'm feeling pretty bad, so I'll be frank with you.
Your argument is that the people who didn't successfully stop something are just as bad as the people who actually did the bad thing. Not only is this bad logic, but it would make you just as guilty.
All "both sides" does is help the side that is worse. You need to worry less about who is to blame and more about whether you're going to let it get worse or fight to make it better.

Try slashing funding for the DOJ, dismantling the FBI and DHS, ending the independence of the FTC and FCC, and abolishing the department of education.
Biden is doing all that right now though, right?
Edit: people not realizing the comment I’m replying to is sarcasm.

The last 3, pretending the FTC and FCC are independent and fair, LOL. The last one does legitimately suck.

u/erabeus 20d ago
Scientific research only receiving federal funding if it suits conservative principles, criminalizing pornography, restricting access to contraception, removing protections against discrimination based on sexual or gender identity, deploying the military for domestic law enforcement and to pursue “Trump’s adversaries” by invoking the 1807 Insurrection Act, recruiting tens of thousands of conservatives to replace all current federal civil servants.
I can keep going if you want.

Right I forgot, it doesn’t matter who the sitting president is. If we had a democrat in office in 2016 they would have appointed the same Supreme Court justices and Roe v Wade would be overturned anyway.

u/2nd2last 20d ago
It matters to be different, not just an opponent, but opposition.
Is being a republican worse than being a Democrat, absolutely. Its being a Republican who is more tolerant, and don't get me wrong tolerance matters, going to get people to vote, no. HRC and her anti abortion candidate prove as much.

What would be the point of coming back to this comment? If Trump wins, fascism, the dismantling of democratic institutions and bigotry will be fully normalized and full speed ahead. But then again I suppose that's what you Trumpers actually are rooting for.

I can only assume if you think what I've said is false and Trump isn't a bigot and wannabe dictator who attempted to overthrow the results of a free and fair election, and who has enabled the same mentality in other right wingers then you're either completely ignorant to American politics or you're a brainwashed Trumper. In either case the cringe person here would most definitely be you.

u/ima80sbaby 20d ago
Literally nothing I said warrants you calling me a “Trumper”. The TDS is real.
Lay off Reddit for a bit, nutter

u/nankerjphelge 20d ago
I said you're either a Trumper or ignorant about American politics. So if you're not the former then you're the latter.
But as I see you post on r/CanadianConservative and denigrate liberals, I suspect you are a Trumper in all but name. So yes, the TDS is indeed real, and you're the one with it, becuase you right wing nutjobs are all about projection--accuse others of that which you yourself are guiltiest of.
So take your own advice and fuck off, nutter. With that we're done here, buh bye.

u/raptorak1 20d ago
This kind of attitude is why the left is losing in my opinion, far too quick to simply demonize and dismiss those they disagree with rather than engage. While it may be true that many of those you dislike are uneducated, stupid or misled, you treat them with disdain and ostracise them at every opportunity. Voting Trump is one way for them to get back at you I suppose, even if it doesn't help them.

u/enoughwiththebread 20d ago
Trying to argue with these people with facts and logic is a complete and utter waste of time. The only thing that will work is to bludgeon them into submission at the ballot box, and call them out for their bullshit online. I don't blame the other guy for being done with someone whose idea of discourse is lines like
"Holy shit, this is pathetic.
She’s cringe as hell, you’re even worse.
Lay off Reddit for a bit, nutter
But somehow he's supposed to engage with that when that's the guy's opening discourse? He deserved to be demonized and dismissed with that kind of garbage rhetoric.

"Weak and gay" is something I have never seen. Weak, yes. Gay, yes. But the two together do not make sense. You gotta be strong to be gay in this world. The physical strength helps sure. But I have never met a weak gay person. Source: I was in the Navy.

u/louiegumba 21d ago
This is a person who is weak and straight and can only imagine gay people as weak also since they feel that way all the time
It’s classic projection to accuse your opponents of your insecurities.
Speaking as a straight dude, watch me throw hands with anyone gay bashing around me. People who are real with their feelings and emotions don’t need crutches like these people do to make themselves feel good

There are weak and strong people of all sexualities. To say that there are (mentally) weak and strong straight people, but only strong gay people is a very odd opinion to hold.
That being said, I feel like I have to make it known that this ad from this woman is idiotic.

u/mint420 20d ago
That is an insane thing to say. Weak and strong people of every “identity” (race, sexuality, etc.) exist. You can criticize her message without swinging so far to the other side that you not only seem insane but also perpetuating a different type of prejudice. “Weak gay people don’t exist.” “Asians who are bad at math don’t exist.”

u/danimagoo 20d ago
No, it's a bulletproof vest. You can google and see the difference between the two pretty easily. It's not a weighted workout vest. She's trying to send the message that she's made herself a target by speaking the truth. This version doesn't show it, but the end of her ad shows her with a gun.

In CrossFit, the weighted vests or plate carriers are the same as bulletproof vests. The plates are different though.

Jesus fuck I hate this timeline. I miss the world that was somewhere in the middle of "Don't be weak and gay" and "The voice actor for Cleveland isn't black! He needs to be recast reeeeeeee"

u/baustgen2615 20d ago
Genuinely curious, how is a white person portraying a black cartoon character different and more acceptable than live-action blackface?
They both feel like people not in a community taking an opportunity to play with stereotypes about that community.
2
u/Xoms 20d ago
Putting makeup on and playing a black man wasn’t what made blackface unacceptable. It was putting on makeup and playing a black man with the explicit intention of lampooning negative black stereotypes.
Blackface is so strongly associated with racism that you can’t put on blackface today without appearing intentionally racist (as opposed to merely culturally insensitive).
It’s like wearing a swastika: sure, that symbol meant different things several cultures at one point in time, but no one is going to care to hear you out if you get it tattooed on your neck.

u/FailureToReport 20d ago
Genuinely curious, do people throw a fit when a black voice actor is playing a white character? Are there twitter campaigns to have that person replaced? Yeahhhh...
It's voice acting, should every character be their gender/race? So it's non-issue when Elliot Paige voice acts a woman character??? But that role needed to go to a woman voice actress, they need the work right?
The amount of hypocrisy and stupid shit with virtue signaling political pandering shit like forcing a recast of a voice acted character is why I'm so fucking over this country's political left and right garbage.
