For governor, we had a true conservative candidate who would have mopped the floor with Katie Hobbs, in Karrin Taylor Robson. Instead we went with Lake, who lost to a person as exciting as watching grass grow. Now we've doubled down for the open Senate seat, again sending Lake out there instead of Mark Lamb (whom I voted for in the recent primary). Lake will get destroyed by Ruben Gallego, who is way more progressive than Sinema was. Way to win, AZ GOP! It’s baffling to me. Granted I come from a state that gave us Roy Moore. Why the AZ party seems hell bent on losing with Lake rather than winning with anyone else I can’t figure out. Every time I see her she looks like she’s airbrushed like a 1987 Topps baseball card.

BarneyFife 34 Posted August 9, 2024 Why is that? Is it the joy of killing innocent children? Keeping the pedo ring intact? The need for millions more illegal immigrants? The desire for World War 3? The love of high gas and energy prices? Higher food costs? Why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The endorsement of Biden, along with everyone in the party in Congress, Governorships, the State party delegate leaders, etc made it pretty clear this was the candidate that would get the nod at the Convention.

It's like I've tried to explain to @weepawsregarding abortion in AZ. He supports a complete opposition to abortion, and as such, supports the 1864 AZ law completely outlawing it. I on the other hand, generally oppose it as a choice of convenience, and would like to work towards limiting that. Weepaws, and AZ MAGA folks, don't realize that by supporting the complete ban, they are enabling the constitutional change on our ballot this year which would allow abortion by choice up to birth, because that absolutely would win. Basically, it's a question of letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. I understand the philosophical simplicity of folks like weeps. I'm sure he feels that he'll stand in front of God and say, by golly, I opposed it! Never mind the fact that his opposition allowed many more abortions to take place. If there is a heaven with a Judeo-Christian God, I presume he'll be easy on him. He means well. But he doesn't understand how to win. Anyway, I digress. That same attitude gave us Kari Lake, who will lose. 8 minutes ago, Sean Mooney said: Lake is the MAGA devotee though and the one Trump desperately backs.

They’re not voting for Trump but they may not show up in the numbers that they did in 2020. In 2020 Biden won Georgia by a few thousand votes because Stacy Abrams basically pullled a miracle and got every black person in the entire state to vote. I don’t think she can pull that off again. She even got the dead ones to vote. So much fraud it’s pathetic. Especially Fulton county. I’m from Georgia and I can tell you he didn’t win legitimately.

This is the process that gets followed by this unusual circumstance. It’s the same for the Republicans. I thought that would perhaps show you that it’s not some evil Dem thing Who knows who I would have voted for. Given other choices from Biden I might not have picked him in a full primary. I would have certainly backed any candidate the Dems put up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real timschochet 6,766 Posted August 9, 2024 There is nothing wrong with the way Kamala became the nominee for the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party is not part of the government. It’s a private organization. It gets to establish its own rules. You guys don’t have a say in that. Nor does the public. If you don’t like it nobody is forcing you to vote for them.
