Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Oh, now you're clutching your pearls?
If I remember correctly it was the leader of the MAGA party that said something to the effect of grab 'em by the pussy. I'd bet a tRump buck that she voted for the literal embodiment of the anti Christ from the bible.
For that reason and others, I don’t buy that these jamokes really cared in the first place. What are they gonna do now anyway, not vote for her? Let some child molester from the democrat party win? Psh, yeah right, and Jason Aldean isn’t truly a small-town good ol’ boy.
Why even bother with the fake apology?
At this point I honestly don't think more than a quarter of the party actually know who represents them and just check any box with an R next to it.
99% of the time, I would agree with this.
But in this case, she was already in a lot of trouble before Beetlejuice. This is one of the rare cases where they really might vote for someone else. Might.
She only won by ~500 votes after a recount. But she’s got to win the primary first, which I suspect will still happen with these maga voters.
I would actually prefer that she wins the primary, then loses the general.
The district is normally R+ double digits. If she loses her primary, her district will likely overwhelmingly vote for whoever the R candidate is. If she wins her primary, there's a very real chance the seat turns blue for at least the next couple of years.
Is there anyone in her district who is less qualified and more insane than she is, who could win the primary? Either way, agreed.
I'm honestly not sure if "Less qualified than Lauren Boebert" and "More Insane than Lauren Boebert" are lows that can simultaneously be accomplished by a functioning human being. I mean seriously, how low do you have to get to be an incredibly (physically) attractive Republican woman, running in an R+20 district that has MAGA basically injected directly into their veins, and still be so bad that some of them not only decided to vote for a filthy liberal Democrat last time, but may very well do so again.
That is a spectacular level of fail. You almost have to intentionally try to fail that hard.
