shit, this bitch from NC ran as a democrat, got elected, and then immediately switched parties to be a republican.

It’s OK, because Nicole Sidman is going to take back the seat in November.

Cotham rose to prominence with a speech on the statehouse floor about her own abortion that drew national attention in 2015.

She ran for her seat, which was heavily Democratic and included east Charlotte before redistricting, as a Democrat and strong supporter of abortion rights. But she switched parties in April 2023, giving the Republican-led General Assembly a supermajority in both houses. That allowed Republicans to override Gov. Roy Cooper’s vetoes at will and pass laws they had long sought, such as a stricter abortion limit that lowered the cutoff in most cases to 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Cotham ran on protecting Roe V. Wade, then switched parties to help dismantle it. She’s a true bottom feeder.

I don’t know if I’d go quite that far. There’s an old saying about Pennsylvania. It’s basically Pittsburgh and Philadelphia with Alabama in between.

I’d bet that if a literal socialist ran for office as a Republican, many Republican voters would be on board.

Is this another Joker quote?

Without the clarification in your edit, I can see why you got downvoted lol

ah yes, “You ever dance with the devil in the pale moon light?”

You shouldnt trust what politicians says. Look at what they do

There is no such thing as a “leftist” on a campaign trail.

I remember him being pro-union, but that’s about it.

I thought she deleted all her social media or went private a few months back. Haven’t investigated further.

It must be so easy to grift money out of conservatives. Just spout some conspiracy theory about how ‘they’ are actually behind the bad things in the world and watch the money pour in, regardless of how little sense it makes.

When people are paying me to say things, it’s always some kind of deception. Usually I am tricking risks into thinking they’re merely costs in an elaborate post-hoc fashion.

But it’s always a lie

In line with this, there’s also an immense left-to-far-right pipeline in media simply because the left will hold you accountable even if you agree with them but the right doesn’t give a fuck as long as you say the thing.

I listened to a podcast about one such author. I forget what about but she wrote a book based on IIRC a flawed interpretation of whatever subject leading the whole thing to be basically wrong.

People pointed out it wrong, sales plummet, author gets butthurt and defensive, now they’re playing the antivax circuit I believe it was.

(Sorry, the podcast was background noise for powerwash simulator so I don’t remember specifics lol)

I like that this implies the left just don’t give enough fucks to bother to pay or even fight for their values which is what is hinted at in these articles. They’re limp dicks and somehow always proud of it. I agree with the headline that people who lean left don’t have any fight in them to pull together and actually rally like they do on the right. Seen many people on the left go to stand up for some values and get destroyed. The left can’t muster anything more than “har har the right are stupid dumb dumbs” as every single person has watched the left choke for over a decade and lose tremendous ground on all their issues while the right votes in assholes like Trump who they only like because you all hate him so much.

Good metaphor, and I agree. But I’m practical above all else, so votes blue no matter who.
