But, where McMullin ultimately accepted the Utah Democratic Party’s nomination, Osborn has disavowed the endorsements of any political parties or politicians. Where Sanders and King caucus with the Democrats, Osborn has made no such commitment.
In May, his campaign sent out a press release announcing this distinction.
“Probably no political campaign has ever done this but we want to put people above politicians, parties and profits,” Osborn was quoted as saying in the release. “Whether you are Republican, Independent, Libertarian, Democrat, I don’t care. I welcome all to join me to change Washington.”
This decision was met by swift rebuke from the Nebraska Democratic Party, who had planned to endorse him, and said they were now looking for write-in candidates.
Fuckin peak DNC energy right here
Just say you get where he’s coming from and give him the endorsement anyway. If you’re being decent people, he’ll probably be with you and be an ally and you don’t have to throw the election to a Republican. If he thinks you’re being pieces of shit, he won’t be with you. If that idea is offensive to you, so much that you’d rather have a Republican, in a fucking CRITICAL role in government, in a CRITICAL election… I think you need to start poking and smelling at yourself, and start to do some soul searching and fixing in regards to how it got to be this way.
(I won’t even address the injustice of how they want to treat him or the unwisdom of teaching this guy, and anyone who might want to follow in his footsteps, that the Democrats are the enemy. It’s a pointless and egregious fuckup even if we’re just talking tactics in the senate in a very narrow way for this specific election.)
Yeah screw this. Democrats should throw their weight behind this guy. They’re our best opportunity of getting this Senate seat away from Republicans. Dems shouldn’t be running any candidate against them.
