Making it impossible for people with jobs to watch the finals just so you can avoid people on twitter crying about the optics of playing in a small building. World's smartest league

people replying to this like "well then you're just voting for the republican" you made the tradeoff that you would lose voters like this in exchange for winning over more moderate republicans. unless you know the tradeoff won't work (it wont) you shouldn't be mad about this
Most of his closing pitch has been about how much he agrees with fascists and can't wait to work with them which I personally think is a weird way to convince people you are going to stand up to facism.

Turek’s problem isn’t just moving right on immigration and trans healthcare. It’s paying to shout it instead of hammering Trump and Hinson on affordability, tariffs and the war in Iran.
Hardworking Iowans need something to fight FOR. Republican Lite isn’t a reason to vote.

A centrist who stands for nothing but is nevertheless accused of being a radical commie vs a lying dipshit aligned with white nationalists and neo-Nazi social media trolls. I think we've already arrived in this future.

Yeah, no, this goes above and beyond “Democrat running in a Red State” and into the Joe Manchin “center-right Republican running as a Democrat” zone.
New: Iowa Democrat Josh Turek is running a radical Senate campaign ... to the center
- Opposes impeachment
- Supports Laken Riley Act
- Criticizes Dems for blocking Husted data center bill and farm bill
- Ticks off all the ways he can work with Trump
“Politically, the term moderate can be pejorative. And I say that I’m proudly a moderate," he says in an interview.
His opponent, Rep. Ashley Hinson, says Turek is "going to be voting with Chuck Schumer 100% of the time." But she too is running toward the center, distancing herself from Trump on Iran, Russia and Vivek ad
Turek: Hinson’s “masquerading. I mean that’s a problem for me. I’m genuinely a bipartisan person,” he added. “She has been partisan. … Just be who you are.”

Y'all don't understand how much damage us trans folks have tanked for almost everyone else the last like 4 years. It's been us and immigrants just taking the full blast of the culture war every day.
And now you call us selfish for asking for the same rights we had 2 years ago?

Adam Hamilton on transgender rights:
“I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself.”
“I’m gonna love the trans person as well as the straight person, male or female. We have to do better than picking on small groups. What’s happened is we’ve turned a group of people into a campaign issue because it polls well.”
Hinson repeatedly voted for tarrifs and an unjust war that have crippled the local economy and are deeply unpopular. Why is your closing message throwing the most marginalized part of your base under the bus for the sake of culture war bullshit that barely impacts most Iowans?

People in the replies rolling their eyes about this because he wrote Infinite Jest, I suspect, haven’t actually read it. It’s actually a very easy read. The grammar isn’t why it’s challenging to get through.
