The PAC is actually called Beige Rainbows. So the title isn’t really correct.

It’s important to campaign to disaffected white dudes as much as any other group. The bigger the margin of the win, the more we can get done.

Republicans who want competent evil candidates.

Pretty sure they see Donald as the useful idiot. They’ll vote for him no matter what, because his winning is the best chance to keep their dying party able to cheat its way into the next competent evil leader.

It’s been there far longer. All the douchebag on the gold escalator did was show them that they don’t need to quit once the story comes out. They can fake news and double down and still get elected.

But patents for genetic beans, or drugs that the government or public institutions that we the public fucking pay for should be allowed.

Making incoherent ramblings sound like campaign messages is the exact meaning of “sane-washing”.

They were using pagers and walkie talkies to evade the cellphone tracking that the Israelis were already doing.

They wouldn’t have taken the cell phones.

I think the whole Republican Party want him out.

The moderates (which are still nuts and not to be trusted, to be clear) don’t think he’s a good candidate.

And I think the MAGA who see how Trump is hurting himself would be happy to have a martyr to worship for all eternity, rather than a blithering vegetable who dies with a full diaper and tweeting phone in his hand.

I can’t remember the numbers, but the recent NPR Politics podcast mentioned that a large percentage (upper 90s I think) of voters are eligible to mail in vote this election. Many with no reason necessary.

I’m personally voting at my polling place on the day, but that’s because I have the time, line in a small town and don’t want to burden the counters with mail to open and verify.

It sounds like even Republicans realize the value of mail in voting, as Dejoy is even reviewing the handling of mail in ballots at USPS.
