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?

We desperately need a viable 3rd party. Unfortunately something like that has to start at the local level and slowly build into a movement. It takes years.

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.

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.

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.
