xeodtech's Journalthe Republicans get it.
The younger generation is sick and tired of all this crap and they are starting to vote significantly for progressive ideology. Trump has ruined the republican party for the next 2 decades. Mueller is looming.
The Blue wave is coming and they know it. They are pulling out all stops to get everything passed before November or Mueller.
Let's hold our ground and keep pushing.. They are on the defensive...
How the DCCC lost NY 24th in June
How the DCCC lost NY 24th in June.
I am sitting here in NY24 getting ready to vote in the Dem primary. We have two strong candidates for the democratic party. Dana Balter and Juanita Perez Williams. They are both on the mark with the issues. However, here is the problem. Juanita ran for the Mayor of Syracuse and lost to an independent who’s name recognition “Walsh” served him well and he became mayor in December.

We had 4 candidates in January for the Congress position and all the local Democratic parties eventually agreed on Dana Balter.

At the last minute the DCCC gave money to and convinced Juanita Perez Williams to run after the failed mayoral race in December. The money came in May?

Juanita received the necessary signatures to get on the Ballot.
It’s 5:20 and I have a couple of hours to vote. I really like Dana Balter, she has been working her butt off to be nominated and the other 3 dropped out and backed Dana. Then the DCCC…………
Juanita is as good as Dana. She has strong name recognition, a good platform and probably has a better chance to win than Dana. Juanita’s resume is much stronger than Dana’s and this is a very tough district. The DCCC’s intervention is killing me. I really want to vote for Dana but I know she has a tough road ahead to beat the incumbent Regressive. With that said, John Katko is a Tuesday Republican that appeals to our district. As with all Regressive’s he has not had an actual town hall meeting in 4 years. If not for the current environment I would highly respect and disagree with this man. He is old school republican.
Now the dilemma. Vote for Balter or Williams?… Will the DCCC give money to Dana if she wins? Will they send staff? Should I vote for the good of my country or my district? My partner is a republican by force and has been in politics for 21 years and says that someone needs to help Dana with her appearance and clothes (which I agree), should that have been the DNC or should I walk into her office and tell her? I know people will think this is trivial, but she has been right for a couple decades…
I will support either and making this document has helped me to make my choice. I will vote for Dana and know that I will have to work my ass off the help her beat Katko… WTF DCCC…..Why are you putting me in the position?
On a side note… The business that I own shares office with Juanita.. I spoke to them about 3 weeks ago for an hour and they gave me a list of people to call should I choose.. NO ONE FOLLOWED UP WITH ME..
Such is my vote for Dana .. Corporate Money… but for the good of the country!
I am from NY but this is for WV and Asylum.
Today I was listening to Thom Hartmann and Mark Pocan discuss the Asylum fiasco at the boarder. As horrendous as this is, I need to share a personal story. Two and a half years ago my step daughter met a guy online.. He was 23 with a 4 year old. They hooked up and quickly and started to live together here in upstate NY. Basically, they live in our backyard in a family rental property. They are getting married in September..
The point to the story is that he left West Virginia because of the pollution, lack of jobs and the problems with drugs and opioids. He understood that he needed to move to a blue state to help him out.. Now he is employed doing well and his son has health insurance. Is this not a Refugee Family running from WV because of their politics... Yes my friends it is, and we are all doing fine... Should NY build a wall????
For all my friends on DU.. Wife is a republican office holder..
