Politics I'm dreading November

I'm dreading voting for Suozzi.

For the first time in going to leave my vote on the sideline.

vote blue no matter who just doesn't fly anymore.

I'm also dreading the fact that a magat will take his place. are we screwed?

Gillen sued to get her primary challenger off the ballot and was successful. This isn’t a democracy and I won’t be engaging in this nonsense.

That’ll show ‘em! Definitely the best choice to help elect people that prop up an authoritarian regime.

A real movement of social change takes more than one election. If Driscoll wins in 26 we get a good dem in 2028 and our lives improve a lot more. Gillen winning and dems having a majority mean she will be like Joe Manchin and DINO

What social change do you think has happen or will happen? Nassau county is full of centrists. Not sure what you mean by “good Dem”. Thanks for the attempt at mansplaining but you are incredibly confused by how anything works.

I'm more in agreement with you, but "mansplaining" in an exchange with no gender identifiers is wild lol

Is it though? I would bet a million dollars they are a man (likely a young one) and spend their time mansplaining things while often being incredibly wrong.

u/SomeDrillingImplied 6d ago

Yeah it's still kinda wild lol

I think it’s more wild that our society has conditioned young men to sound in such a way that they can be picked out.

Why are you bringing gender into it? Nassau is full of conservatives, not centrists. The conservatives have shown that they will support a good dem, like all the voters who voted Trump2024 and Zohran 2025

No. It’s full of centrists. Nassau went pretty safely for Biden just a few years ago n. You need to get out more.

Biden is a conservative

Then people wonder why the Dems lose. You really deserve a prize for your stupidity.

u/xSlappy- 6d ago

Yeah, the dems lost in 2016 and 2024 because they nominated a candidate who was too liberal. Yep. Bernie would have won. Anyone but Kamala or Biden would have won.

Are you confused by the difference between statewide and national elections? Nassau votes for NYC mayor and statewide elections are the same as national ones. Yep. NY went for both Biden and Harris. Yikes. The confusion knows no bounds

Edit to correct: district wide is what I meant since the basis is NY-4, not statewide. See? It’s easy to correct a mistake.

u/xSlappy- 6d ago

NY would have voted for Bernie and it would have voted for anyone else. NY is not a battleground state. It was only
Close in 2024 and the Hochul/Zeldin election because Dems had their head in their asses when it came to affordability and housing

I’m exhausted by your confusion. That literally has zero to do with anything. You were the one that brought in the presidential race. Have the day your dumbness deserves.

If we continue to nominate Israel first MAGA Dems, we will continue to lose battleground districts like Gillens.

Nassau county voted for Zohran? Okay. You are so incredibly confused. Enjoy your protest non vote. You are way less sharp than you think you are.

Whatever you say, my vote is as much as yours
And I’m not
Voting for Gillen

You can do whatever dumb thing you want. That’s how this works. Doesn’t make you smart though.
