My county elected Obama in 2008 - it came down, basically, to district 1 in Ohio and we pulled out a win. We are the path to the Presidency, you don't get there without winning Ohio.
Sherrod Brown is running for re-election and is pretty loved. There is hope as his opponent seemingly looks worse. He got cornered on abortion and tried to get out of it when we just approved a state-Constitution measure.
@Laffy @Old Man in the Shoe Yeah Browns polls have him well in the lead, I can't find any poll on Tester sadly which worries me, but Montanas are weird and will vote blue at seemingly random times.
@jenzi Ohio IS red. As long as DeWine is here we won’t change. We used to be purple, but the gerrymandered districts put a stop to that, as well as DeWine. We have a very long road to go!!
Trump can’t abide someone else’s name taking up more space than his. Plus it makes it simpler to repurpose yard signs with a Sharpie and pocket the savings
They all are but I think Vance is the scariest. He's not stupid and he's we'll-connected. I think he's the "like Trump, but competent" leader they've been looking for. @jawarajabbi
He wore the hell out of those kneepads.... Media should ask him if he's a spitter or a swallower. He might want to get premeasured for a rope necklace. 😐 #trump
It was to be expected. That guy auditioned reeeeally hard to become the next mini-me. No lie too small nor too ridiculous. He’s no Pence, that’s for sure. And I say this without a smidge of sarcasm
Well, I’m signing off again. I decided to check the news after being off social media for an entire week, not looking at news sites, only local (wildfire alerts and such). As I am thoroughly disgusted with what’s going on again, I’ll return to my abstinence. Never losing sight of who I’m voting for, of course. I am un-swayable (yes, it’s a word) Be safe!
@KayVay I've been largely staying away from the news ever since public mouthpieces took all the crazy pills post debate. I drop in now, and I'm leaving again. More outrage. Helpless people. When does everyone take to the streets especially after the Cannon decision?
Meanwhile, I'm going to cleanse myself with some cathartic John Wick. On repeat.

@suedorazio @RodneyPetersonTalent that sounds far fetched for slavers who required that only white property owners be allowed a voice and count black people as less than human, committed and perpetrated genocides.
@suedorazio @RodneyPetersonTalent The founders were generally not fans of the notion of political parties in general. Arguably the structure of the US constitution is largely based on the presumption that individuals will be acting in their own interests (which would serve as a check against others’ interests), and not totally subsume themselves for party interests.
@michaelgemar @suedorazio @RodneyPetersonTalent Exactly. Our entire political landscape would look completely foreign to them. The constitution was not designed for this.
@suedorazio @RodneyPetersonTalent or social media and that out right LIES would be so unchallenged especially by the loser sheep that believe anything fed to them.
@MonarchLady One of my best friends is a school teacher, heavily involved with the church... I talked to her this morning and she said... An inch, how could he have missed by an inch.😳
Trump adores those moments of taking a critic and stripping them of their dignity, inch by inch. He enjoys making critics grovel. Vance is in for a lot of humiliation
When Donald Trump first ran for president in 2016, one of his steadfast critics within the Republican Party was J.D. Vance. Now, Vance will join the Republican ticket as Trump’s running mate.
