hmm. well ryan sucks but i could see him doing ok and pulling off a win against a weird unlikable ghoul who will just cater to trumpist chuds.

also springer used to be a BIG dem star in like the 80s and then it came apart because of an afair or something.

He resigned because he was caught soliciting a prostitute. Then, won another election a few years later. He later ran for Governor and used the prostitute story (he got caught because he paid her with a check) as an example of how honest he was, but got crushed and never made it back into office.

Springer, bizarrely, was big into politics before his TV show. He was one of the people pushing to pass the 26th amendment to lower the voting age to 18.

Springer was mayor of Cincinnati before TV or something, wasn't he? He's not a political novice, anyway.

Alan Grayson was a perennial also-ran for a Florida congressional seat, he got in on his like fifth attempt in 2009. He made a name for himself as a progressive bomb thrower who called the Tea Party the KKK and poo poo. He quit to run for senate and got blown out in the primary, tried to run for his old seat in '18 and again got blown out in the primary. He's mostly a loudmouth clout chaser, like a less successful, Democratic, Chris Christie

Yeah, but the "GOP Health Plan is we want you to die" thing in the House was nice. It was good to see a Democrat bring a gun to that gun fight.

He's already said he won't due to his age (77), so at least we know he's good enough to recognize we don't need another septuagenarian running around in the senate.

Also I wasn't aware until today he was born in a London Tube station during a bombing raid in WWII.

So, if the best they can do to scare people about increasing wages is a 4% increase in the prices on the Chipotle menu, well I dunno if you can exactly campaign on it

State party politics in a nutshell

My parents were just telling me about a local restaurant where they actually printed on the menus that they were adding a 5% surcharge to account for higher wages.

It's such a blatant attempt to make their customers angry at their workers for asking for a living wage. Expect to see more of this as the narrative builds.

What an idiot. You never pay for something illegal with things the government would every possibly consider tracking. That's why I pay for all my illegal stuff with guns.
