    As an ohioan, the gubernatorial race is literally between a big giant douche and a turd sandwich.

    I’ll never forget when Ann Coulter said she agreed with him politically the most but would never vote for him because he’s Indian. She said this to his face and he responded with “I respect that” lmao.

    What a coon.

    I opened my mailbox this morning to, i shit you not, FIFTEEN attack ads against Amy Action. Not 15 different ones, but 15 copies of the exact same one. Our mailboxes are kind of shitty so i could also see that all 12 of my neighbors also had their mailboxes filled to the brim with what appeared to be the same ad

      That suggests whoever was tasked with distributing that flier elected to maximize a much shorter route: you took fifteen so that fourteen others were spared. That’s also the cost of fourteen fliers, likely paid for by Elon Musk, completely wasted, times however many mailboxes got stuffed with the same shit.

      You and your neighbors are heroes, friend. Each of you taking fifteen so the rest don’t have to see it. Well done. (In principle if not intention, lol)

    “Her mom says she lied about being raped when she was 12” is one hell of a political platform when gas is $7 a gallon.

      I shit you not, as a teller myself, hella old folks will fall for this shit. Especially older women, they dont like it when thier husbands’ laundry is aired.

      Even my own mother, told me crazy wild family stuff when I was 16-18. If I ask her about it now, “oh that never happened youre a liar”.

      This shit works on the weak minded

    Conservatives see women and children as property rather than humans. This is why they don’t condemn rape, even when the victim is a child.

    Conservatives are biologically unable to experience empathy. Without empathy, it is not possible for them to develop deep, meaningful connections with others. This is why they see their families as property rather than humans. Ownership can be a strong emotion, but it’s not the same type of “love” a normal person feels toward family.

    It’s a bold strategy Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for him.

    This is a response to his first ad featuring her estranged mother

    According to Acton’s campaign and records reviewed by USA TODAY, Acton has been estranged from her mother since 1978, when her stepfather, Cledith Arthur, faced a rape charge for for sexually abusing 12-year-old Acton.

        Going to hell for this but…

        Republicans heard there was “12 year old Action” and became enraged when they found out their real age.

          I mean the Republican speaker of the house is legitimately porn buddies with his son. We’re so far out over the shark at this point I don’t think it was out of place to imply that.

      Not only that, her step dad had already been indicted for raping his own daughter. So her mom was still with him, knowing that. Scumbags.

    Ramaswammy’s problem is that the people who like this ad are too racist to vote for an “Arab Muslim” anyway.

      My sole consolation is that he died a fairly gruesome cancer death over the span of a few short months, and got to see how loyal the rest of his party was, which is to say not at all.
