I read his ballotopedia responses and he seems better than a Republican. But that's a pretty low bar. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] BillyClark@piefed.social 20 points 3 months ago (3 children) True. The Republican incumbent that he's running against, Tim Burchett, promised to legislate against Flock cameras. While that's nice, I no longer trust the promises of any Republican. As far as I'm concerned, we need to replace all Republican politicians. If their opponent is a Democrat, we need to be a little careful not to elect a wolf in sheep's clothing. But if they're independents like the guy we're talking about, I think just about anybody would do. Like an animal or an inanimate object would even be infinitely preferable to a Republican. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Awooooooga@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago (2 children) You need to vote for people who can win permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Zoot@reddthat.com 4 points 3 months ago (1 child) Better start canvassing then, atleast this dude is already in the media! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Awooooooga@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago I'm Canadian and happy with my provincial, municipal, and federal governments! permalink fedilink source parent [–] XLE@piefed.social 7 points 3 months ago I remember a candidate talking about shooting a person in public and still winning, and he did.
