    Looks like they know their base is so stupid they can make them hate good things just by saying it’s left. They used to hide it better.

    Also there’s the possibility it’s a plant and this is reverse psychology. I dont know this person and i trust no one now. They’ve done that enough times i wouldn’t be surprised.

      that reminds me of that Obama Skit on Key and Peele where Obama just listed republican talking points and the republicans couldn’t help but disagree with them because it was being proposed by a liberal.

    Oh shit. I’m in Wisconsin and didn’t know who was running to replace Evers. I knew he was retiring. Thanks for this, now I know I’m voting for her.

      You sure about that? The rich will have to pay your childcare! Also, you’ll earn at least $20 an hour. Also, your money can’t go to overpriced food, because the state will own a place that sells food. On top of that, there won’t be any datacenters, so you will be left with enough water, enough electricity and enough land! Doesn’t it sound much nicer to have no taxes for the rich? Imagine what they can do with all the money they now don’t have to spend on the other people in society. Imagine a world where they can “invest” all of their wealth. Doesn’t that sound much better? Think mate!

        To be fair, Wisconsin doesn’t really have an issue with water supply. We are right next to the largest bodies of fresh water on the planet.

    Good policies, but see how Fox adds “far-left”, “democrat” and “socialist”, just to make them look bad to their oil & gas party viewers.

    Politician called “far-left”.

    Expectation: Installation of an egomaniac dictator, which will lead to cult of personality, crackdown on speech and expression based on said dictator’s feelings, and installing loyalist to key positions.

    Reality: Bare minimum policies.

    I’d love it if she won. I can’t think of a faster way to ensure that MAGA shitstain Tom Tiffany is the next governor of Wisconsin than for her to win the nomination, though. WI isn’t California or New York, even if it is all bullshit there is just too much red meat for the MAGAt puppetmasters to seize upon to vilify her and whip the dullards up into a blood frenzy, even if it is in their own’s heads.

    They did this exact thing to AOC’s Green New Deal when she introduced it, and I couldn’t comprehend how people could read it as a bad thing (at least those who weren’t top 1%ers wanting to evade taxes).

    “BUT how would be pay for all of that ???” Which, not surprisingly, doesn’t ever get asked when the DOD’s budget gets increased annually.

      Yeah, that used to work, until they learned to say “We’ll just take it from the billionaires,” and everyone said “Okay, that’s perfectly acceptable.”

      Now all they can do is scream “SOCIALISM!” and people are starting to think THAT sounds pretty good, too.

      They’re losing their rhetorical weapons quickly, and that arsenal was pretty low to begin with.

        That said, US politics is so bad that this platform is legitimately further left than like 95% of electeds. If this candidate is a Democrat it’s likely that her own party will favor a candidate to her right in primary and if she beats them, possibly still not throw their weight behind her in the general.

        Remember that the leader of the Democratic party is basically a domestic spokesperson for Israel and refuses to acknowledge support the most popular politician in his own party.

    I’m not sure it’s even possible to frame this list in a bad light? those are all unambiguously excellent things
