Look. I can’t explain anything about her policies or perspectives. I can say this. She isn’t from here. She is not a Rhode Islander in anyway.

She wasn’t born here. She didn’t raise her kids here. She doesn’t know what we are about. Who we are. What are history is.

She doesn’t know what coffee milk is. Or have a fave wiener spot. She has no clue what Beavertail is. What a sub is. What a cabinet is. She’s think New England clam chowder is exactly the same as RI clam chowder. She thinks calamari from Applebees is the same as RI Calamari. She has no clue about Buddy Cianci.

I could go on. But I hope you get the point. Don’t vote for an outsider for state politics. Just don’t. Dan McKee for as much as I just don’t love him. I don’t hate him either. At least he knows RI for better or worse. I’ll take that all day every day.

I wasn't born here but I've been here a good amount of time. Everything you mentioned is why I love RI. But....all this can't be only what RI is known for. I wish we had better job industries like Massachusetts for example. Someone who isn't a native Rhode Islander could totally be a good governor, but Kalus is a snake and not the right person for the job.

Even in Illinois you don't put ketchup on a Chicago style dog - mustard only! (Along with relish, tomatoes, celery salt...)

I think it’s federal crime or should be. We should make it a felony so if you get convicted you can’t vote. Those people have bad judgement! Ketchup on a wiener….how dare they! Where’s the outrage ….call my representative!

Wait, that's a no-no here, too?

I grew up in Chicago, and it's the only place I've ever known that considers putting ketchup on a hotdogs to be downright heretical.

You mean to tell me I landed in the only other place in this country where I've got to hide my ketchup-on-hotdog shame?!

We have been meaning to talk to you about this….I’m glad you brought it up. You don’t have to hide it but be aware a mob could spontaneously surround you.
Kinda like how the witches in Salem met their fate.
It is a slippery slope, First ketchup next thing you misuse pronouns and then you will think men can have babies! Society in total decay! If you put mustard on along with the ketchup you could claim it was mistake but you wouldn’t want to live a lie.

Ketchup on a wiener is fine if you’re 8 years old or younger.

You know and I know that if she were a democrat and a progressive and was all these things, but her opponent was a native RIer but a conservative, most here would say that none of things you say matter. In fact, these things would be a plus rather than a negative; it's why she is good--she is a breath of fresh air in the entrenched cronyism and politics as usual network of RI.

**I would comment more, but can't as the original poster blocked me. (Which I think is cowardly.)

>This is what I was going to post to another person who responded, but can't.

>I am voting Democrat in the governor's race.

>What gets me (and why I posted the comment) is the rhetoric game and the political manipulation that campaigns use. The campaign toolbox has no political affiliation. They all use the same one. It's a tale as old as time.

You’d probably right because the conservative would also want disastrous policies that would further weaken RI. Or, the slightly more competent ones would make a policy that only works in the short term while giving a fortune in taxpayer money to their or their friends/families private businesses so they can blame democrats for the problems in the next election when it all falls apart.

We’ve woken up to this game after 20+ years of their bullshit which is why we’ll still take a milquetoast Dem over a grifting Rep every time now. We’re sick of the fucking games.
