In this race it kinda doesn't matter. One is a loud mouth dipshit that will vote with the gop, the other is a quiet dino that will vote with the gop. The only real difference if Frisch wins will be the noise about the idiot representing my district. Voting will almost assuredly be the same. Frisch was an Aspen city council member and ran on being a "conservative businessman" so we won't really see a change in how the seat votes, and then have to primary the DINO out later if he does win.

I live in the district. No one here will benefit from either of them winning. Two sides of the same coin. But I voted for Frisch anyhow because he's not Bortbort. Whole thing loving sucks.

One is a batshit insane insurrectionist, and the other sounds like a normal person with unfortunate political views on fiscal policy. Ensuring Boebert no longer has legitimacy by being an elected member of Congress is pretty important in its own right.

Still baffled Oz was bothering to run for senate, he already has far more money than he’ll ever need and a massive audience for whatever he wants to sell. Would think that while he’s in his 60s and still healthy would want to travel or relax, not get stuck in DC for half the year and have to fundraise and campaign again in six years.

The audio wasn't syncing up with the video, so I thought this clip fake at first. After finding no less than a dozen videos with him saying the same thing, I am confused.

I was under the assumption that we verified cognitive activity in some way before allowing people to run. I now assume that that benchmark is, "can the candidate remember to breathe without too much mental strain."

Its all about having someone that the GOP can easily tell how to vote if they are elected, that's why they picked him. He'll basically repeat whatever they want him to say.

A reminder that the GOP is mostly kept alive by the fact that a huge percentage of the electorate still thinks it's the same as the old old GOP. Almost all independents and low-information voters do not believe that incel nazi is pretty close to the average R candidate.

Kari Lake is doing a pretty fun "I WILL NEVER CONCEDE AND I'M GOING TO SUE" list of grievances that are literally just "if poo poo goes bad with the ballot readers, do this" stuff that's literally told to me in election administrator training every election. But the best one she's linked so far probably has to be this one:
