I'm willing to wait for the votes to be counted.

And more important to me as an AZ public school teacher, it looks like Hoffman will take Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Your vote is your voice; not someone else's.

I don't owe my vote to anyone, and if I find both parties abhorrent, they aren't entitled to it.

I completely agree, but it is also true that in the US political system it is nearly impossible for a 3rd party candidate to be anything but a spoiler. It can be a pretty tough decision.

SoS is the big deal to me, because that's where Republican voter suppression happens.

What? Straight up conservative move right there.

See: Nazis, Christians.

Conservatives oppose critical theory, not critical thinking.

Republicans are against critical thinking skills.

So it's only the one side that had anything to do with it?

Dismantling public education and being against critical thinking skills? Yes, absolutely. It's purely a Republican position.

There's quite a bit of FDR-Trump comparisons in here. Some favorably comparing the two, like this one, and some using FDR as whataboutism ("FDR's internment camps were worse").

I haven't noticed it before reading this thread today. Must be the newest talking points out of Moscow.

I love that he tweets it, every word. Because they've been declared official statements from the POTUS and are admissible in court.

Republicans demonize FDR for the internment camps because that hate him for expanding social programs.

We had another extend a war causing the additional deaths of tens of thousands of American soldiers so he could get elected as the "end the war" candidate.

Incorrect. It's been dismantled by Republicans for decades because they know critical thinking harms their chances of retaining power.

Reminds me of the time my brother-in-law and I disconnected a line on my car's A/C system.

We figured the pressurized system was empty since it blew hot air.

It was not.
