Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

That's a bigger tally than many Senate candidates took in during the same period.

Democrat Adam Frisch's campaign reported a massive third quarter haul of nearly $3.4 million — more than many nationally touted Democratic Senate candidates — as he seeks to win a rematch with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) next year.

Frisch's campaign said the average donation was less than $32 and reported $4.3 million cash on hand. He lost to the incumbent by a little more than 500 votes in 2022 as he gears up for another shot at the sprawling congressional seat.

this man was so humble and so accommodating after his loss the last time around, he showed his worth as one who believes in democracy, elections, and the rule of law. he's a good bet to unseat handjob barbie this next go around.

I hate that that description is apt for an elected official.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I'd call it a slam dunk. She only skated by with a couple of hundred votes last time.

[–] negativenull@lemm.ee 22 points 2 years ago

This is why Boebert didn't vote to oust McCarthy. At any point in the past, she would have, as she's totally on board the trump train. She didn't in this case, since she has become vulnerable, so is trying to seem more centrist.

I don't think you'll see see Lauren around much longer,

[–] negativenull@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

She'll have a spot on OANN or similar. She won't disappear.

[–] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 13 points 2 years ago

For me she will

[–] Zippy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

This is all she is after. It is a certain way and legal way to fame and money. She is trolling every one of you but unfortunately she is in a position where it can and does hurt every American.

[–] Techmaster@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

Maybe on Brazzers

[–] crawley@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I actually cannot wait for that nutjob to lose her seat. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure we're going to be stuck with MTG for a while yet.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I’m glad Boebert has a contender.

But it sure is disappointing to constantly see headlines using how much money a politician has collected as a likely measure of success. Buying your way into office is an open thing now.

Good to see for Adam.
