Reply to comment by Proof-Variation7005 in Election 2022 Update: Magaziner goes after GOP on Social Security by therealDrA

When you run the state party like a stepping stone for corporates wanting to go national and keep pushing to the middle you end up not having much room for new candidates to come up that aren't anything but GOP-lite.

No way I would ever vote Fung but there's zero reason to be excited for Magaziner to represent me. Hopefully an empty suit replaced in a cycle same as McKee.

I’m not sure I’d blame the state party for the guy who’s name everyone has long forgotten for getting blown out in a primary

Do you think the RI Dem party is well run / doing a good job? I've not really seen much to be impressed about there.

I do not, but I’m not sure I’d blame them specifically for a weak primary where Magaziner got like 55% or the vote in a six way race

Ok come reply to this post after that happens. Seriously what do you get out of going around making proclamations over this for? You've been doing it for weeks. Grow up. Election will come and go and we'll all know the result then.

Because This subreddit needs another outlook on things and not just one talking point. Why wouldn’t you encourage debate? Especially in a state that for the last 50 years is riddled with some sort of corruption and scandal? Do you not want change? Are you okay with prices going up while our elected officials sit on their asses and send our money over to a country for a war that is none of our business?

You don't sound like you're encouraging debate or offering outlooks when you say "When should I tell you Fung is winning? Now or in November?" You just look like another trolling shitposter.

For a political nerd you might want to revisit how polling vs election outcomes has gone for some pretty high profile elections lately.

absolutely, remember on nov 6 2016 hilary had a 98% of winning and later that night she lost every single swing state plus the state of Wisconsin to a guy who never held public office?

Yes that is one of the ones I was referring to. Maybe think about that when you comment stuff like "There is no way Magaziner wins in November" then try to act like you're a 'political nerd who wants a debate'.

I have nothing to debate on with the current GOP. Zero. Do not want anything they are selling. They might accidentally align on an issue I agree with but its firmly in "broken clock" territory. Prices going up while officials sit on their asses and money going to countries for wars that are none of our business has been the status quo for the past 4 presidential administrations at the least irrespective of party.

The dems in RI are shit, been vocal about that many times, but I'd still prefer a rash over stage 4 cancer.
