    This is the way to do it. It’s a race between a single Democratic Party candidate and a single Green Party candidate, so no concern about a spoiler effect. It’s at a lower level of government, so it’s actually a winnable race. If Kozonis-Marudas wins the race, she can prove to her electorate that her policies and those of the Green Party are beneficial. If interested, she can then run for higher office, campaigning on her achievements.

      Agreed in full.

      no concern about a spoiler effect. It’s at a lower level of government, so it’s actually a winnable race.

      If there was a spoiler effect though, curious as to what should be done in that case. I know there are cases where Dems have sat back and endorsed independents (Bernie Sanders being the most prominent example) - this feels a little too much like backroom dealing to me, but on the other hand I recall a case where a guy was actually kicked out of (a local) office, but who ran in the by-election and won because the other two candidates who were running split the vote. So the guy got re-elected with just a plurality.

    Everyone look at how OP engages with people in these posts. They are clearly here to spread propaganda and engage in bad faith.

      I didn’t write the article, friend. Thank you!

        To be fair, the OC was speaking about engagement. So the point was unrelated to the article itself, but more on the general style of engagement (like in the comments).

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
