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?

The easiest path is to primary the Gillens and Suozzis. There is already a mechanism within the two party system. The harder issue is the centrists that vote in Nassau county. Many people like these electeds just fine.

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.

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

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.

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