I see a lot of messages on this board lately about potential candidates in November.
WEF member! Disqualified!
He changed his view on {insert anything}! Disqualified!
He shook hands with the Beetlejuice mayor! Disqualified!
Desantis supports Israel! Fraud!
That old saying, "Cut your nose off to spite your face" is very apt on this board.
At this rate, if this is your thought process, you might as well give up.
I don't like saying vote for the best available at the time, but that's what this is. There won't be a wholesale purge of rinos this November.
But like I put it in the title, it will be a slow cleanse. Election after election, we take it back. We get our foundation built, then we construct the house.
If the best available doesn't do what we want in the future, we take him/her out next election--which will be achievable because i believe our movement will only gather support in the coming years.
More support means more candidates to choose from. More candidates to choose from means higher percentage of candidates making it through to office.
But we're not there yet. It's very important to remove the garbage now, even if it's only with a less smelly replacement.
We have to make November our stepping stone.
When our president is back, that's another huge foundation piece. Then we keep the momentum
Vote with discernment, but realize you may have to hold your nose while doing so.
MD is RINO central, mostly because of their unrelenting mantra "only moderates can win" in our supposedly very blue state. This year however is the first time in my lifetime that we actually have legitimate America First candidates running for both governor and AG. Cox and Petrouka broke through the relentless noise. This doesn't happen without Trump showing the way. If they can win in the general, maybe, just maybe, some of these RINOs will see the light.
Finally! Someone who agrees with me!!
Now - prepare for heat. I have tried to say these things for over two years and have been pounded on this board for wrong think
The reality is that it has taken us over 100 years to get to where we are starting from Wilson and FDR. It's 160 if you start the clock with Lincoln's economic legerdemain to fund his war. We will not turn this around in one election or by one man. Just as one cannot wean an addict cold turkey without severe consequences, we cannot wean our citizens and "guests" from the narcotic of federal handouts without significant, and probably unacceptable, consequences.
This will be a battle that will consume a generation - probably several. As Reagan sad, we need to nominate and work hard for the most conservative candidate who can be elected. If that is someone who lacks adequate political purity, vote for him anyway. I'd much rather have a 70% ally than a 95% adversary.
After all, what's one or two rinos going to do against an entire herd of elephants?

Once you truly smell what this "less smelly" shit you speak of is actually doing to us, you will come to realize that the error of continuing with the "lesser of two evils" voting pattern is a [demonstrably] failed strategy.
It's like being trapped on the school bus sitting near the kid who just shit his pants on the bus. At first, it stinks really bad, but after 20 minutes of being subjected to the stench, your nose adapts, and you just don't realize how bad that shit really stinks.
That is the situation of American voters. We have been sniffing shit flooding our political environment for so fucking long, that we don't even even realize how bad it is when we are looking at a steaming turd of a candidate on a podium, telling us we need to vote for him- because the other turd smells worse; and that other rose smelling candidate, just cannot win.
I disagree.
Prior to this, the masses actually thought there were two parties. They thought they were voting for Republican/Democrat. The curtain has been pulled.
I'd say most now know there really is one party and they've been fucking us for 75+ years.
Now there is new blood entering the arena. Once the people are involved in every step, things change.
So short term, get the majority. Long term take everyone out. Trump has been clear on this point as well. He endorses who can win now...despite the person being a seemingly undesirable candidate.
Right now we don't have enough candidates running. But next election I suspect we will.
If we know politicians, we know they go with the tide... We have to force the tide to change, and that can't happen if we hem and haw, sit on our asses and decide voting is fraudulent, and never vote again.
Well since you offered an alternative I'll...
Oh wait
Anyway, if you can't tell that where once we were asleep, now we are awake then you're eyes are obviously closed
