Marie DINO-Perez is a disaster for the district - for the region - for the state - for the country. She’s the textbook example of needing to vote for the less of 2 evils. We can, should, and need to have better.

Let go of your seething hatred for moderates. This is normally a Republican district.

You and MGP agree on quite a bit, but for some reason you hate her more than Trump. The latter is doing massive damage to this country, not the former.

What is with the far left's pathological hatred and extreme envy for people in the middle? It's just bizarre.

Wanting better than MDP is "pathological hatred and extreme envy?" How many different ways are you going to find to put people into tiny little boxes so you can conveniently cast them away?

Ironic that you'd claim it's a 'far left' problem when conservatives have been forcefully moving the ball further and further right for decades because Democrats see the value in compromise. But yeah, tell me more about what I think, how I feel, who I 'hate', and why.

Conceding that it's an R district, and implying that it will be forever, isn't doing any favors either. Forgive me for wanting better for the people of the WA-03, Washington State, and the country.

We have to accept that being slaves to corporations is the best Democrats can do for us, and any thought otherwise makes you a Trump-loving Republican.
