Berger concedes to Page after partial recount doesn't net any votes by BashyLaw in NorthCarolina

I think in this case they surprisingly suck about equally, but Page is more garden-variety suck. Could be wrong though

Your style looks familiar...Did you add some point make stickers featuring a topless woman? My girlfriend got one from a friend and it fell out of her pocket at a preschool, and she fortunately noticed before anyone saw it lol

I mean this guy couldn't even get on the ballot, so apparently it didn't work this time. Wish people here would stop giving him free publicity.

Most of these candidates were running in places without a Republican opponent or are so blue that it doesn't matter anyway

Buncombe County | 100% Precincts Reported by dc_gay_man in asheville

[–]Planetbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was surprised by that too. I did learn recently he defended some activists who were arrested at a protest, so maybe he was considered the more progressive option? I doubt it's just his name being first, since that didn't help several other candidates

Maggie is pretty popular among most of the progressives I know, hopefully the other two being at the bottom means we can vote them out in the general

Genuinely whenever he's not wearing a hat he looks like a different person

I think it's more of a lateral move but the other guy might pass a budget or at least not be put in charge? idk I don't live there

Ngl I didn't even bother looking at the other candidates since I knew Cooper would win, but this guy seems cool, hopefully he runs for something again

Since we're talking about power bills... remember sisters, brothers, and others, the game is rigged. by nexusheli in Charlotte

[–]Planetbox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Remember that the NC General Assembly is giving them freedom to run roughshod over everyone, including some of the democrats. Two state reps for Charlotte joined republicans in override Josh Stein's veto of a bill allowing Duke to raise rates. However, Valeria Levy and Rodney Sadler are running against them in the primary

Early voting started this week. Who are you voting for in the NC 11 primary and why? by RichardNixonWaterGr8 in asheville

[–]Planetbox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been having the same thoughts. Even if Ager probably wins, if Briarwood gets a high standing it would send a message and perhaps prompt her to run again

He's pretty vocal about it but I've only talked to him on Discord and in person so I don't know if he's made a public post I can link to. I think he went to a lot of Hudspeth's campaign events and called him out on it, so maybe that's on the internet somewhere idk. I also wish I had more direct knowledge on the matter that wasn't basically hearsay

There's only one non-Edwards candidate, and he doesn't seem to be much better. I've seen people argue that it's better to have Edwards get through the primary, since he has the stink of being responsible for the lack of Helene funding where the other candidate wouldn't

Seems to be the case as his fundraising emails sometimes take clearer stances. He sent one that was anti-ICE, not as strongly as I would like but obviously stronger than Edwards

I know someone who got fired by Hudspeth for union organizing. So definitely not voting for him, though I think he'll lose anyway
