I sincerely do not understand why Democratic candidates aren't required to actually be Democrats?

Can a rule be changed to prevent others from running as Dems? I really don't know.

Qpukes will do so going forward, I'm sure.

So don’t follow other states races that close.

But when I heard Turner only ran as a Democratic candidate because whatever crazy party she is a member of did not make the ballot told all in needed to know. She was there to divide.

And what democrat would vote for someone comparing President Biden to a pile of shit?

I’m not the smartest man in the world by any means so it’s taken me 6 years to find those that seem my natural political allies. Actually allies is too strong a word. I’ll say where we generally agree. Ironically, very few are southern middle aged white men! But some are.

Still pretty early out there so have a nice evening. I’m about to read DU after a small dinner party with gumbo and pecan trout and some amount of bourbon! Always dangerous. I got my first hide in 2 years last week! I stand by my point but because of bourbon I expressed it very poorly so had it coming. Oh well.

The longer I’m here the more I value it. I do absolutely no other social media. Never have. So the time I spend on DU is really my only screen time. I’m normally living my life!

I must say that I always look forward to reading your posts.. I think they make a lot of sense.. And I appreciate that so much in this age of Gaslighting run amuck!

l red about DU in a Nation Magazine in NYC in January, 2001.. and bought a computer in 2002 so I could be with Kindred Spirits discussing horrors of the Bush Coup.. It's been Cathartic and Sanity Saving so many times!

Gad you're here.. your Dinner Party sounds wonderful!

Turner clearly had an earlier name recognition but Brown, like Biden, showed that voters are tired of dramas.
