This will seem unkind but:
I think of Animal the Muppet every time I see two of my state's candidates
One is Daniel Miressi, a candidate for state senator from the 25th district who has taken to Twitter to sling poo multiple times every damn day. (And you know he MEANS IT BECAUSE HE USES CAPITAL LETTERS AND MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!)
The other is Leora Levy, a Republican running against incumbent U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal. She has done her dead-level best, as has Miressi, to bring Trump Lite to the Land of Steady Habits, with predictable results. Last week, Blumenthal lead Levy by 13 points. I haven’t found poll numbers for the 25th district, but last week Miressi posted a thank you that one of his yard signs was placed next to that of a 3 Percenter (more on that racist anti-government group here).
Ah, but I tuck myself in at night looking forward to Nov. 9, when these also-rans will go back to their regularly-scheduled lives (off of social media, one would hope). Nov. 9 should dawn quietly and beautifully.
As a country we have fallen off the edge! I urge all to delete their Twitter accounts, who needs that shit anyway?!? I urge you to vote blue no matter what, the evil of the other side is now hellbent on the total take down of America! NOT one gQp "leader" has STRONGLY condemned the attempted murder of Paul Pelosi in his HOME! Think back after the terrible shooting where Rep. Scalise was seriously wounded when Sen. Sanders took to the Senate floor to condemn the violence! I apologize in advance for my use of 'caps' and 'exclamation' points!!
I know there are pockets of this crap here in CT, mainly in the more rural parts of the state where I wouldn't live and couldn't afford to live if I wanted to. Every week I pass a big banner on a state road in Oxford that proclaims "Don't Blame Us, We Voted For Trump 2020." Not that they are necessarily members of these "militia" people, but *somebody* thought it was a good idea to nominate Levy and Miressi.
