The headline " When it comes to salvaging American democracy, Republican Allan Fung does not come off as an eager fighter." hit the nail on the head and is the MAIN factor in deciding who I will be voting for.

Yes, that emphasizes a key problem with Fung's candidacy. Even if you bought into the "Fung is moderate and harmless" argument, which I do not, his weakness is his inability to stand up to the nefarious forces of the contemporary GQP. He would sell democracy and human rights to the devil for a tax cut for the wealthy.

All I needed was the indelible memory of him wearing the MAGA hat and looking like a cub scout having his best day ever ... and clearly I am not alone because the opposition is using that as the thumbnail for their YouTube "attack ads" 😆 -- really, that pic is all the ammo they need

You guys will call any RINO a “moderate Republican” as long as they bow to the democrats on close to everything. An example is Meghan McCain. Liberals like her because she’s a Democrat that calls herself a Republican. If there’s a conservative that calls themselves a democrat, everyone calls her a traitor and wants her kicked out of the party. Look at Tulsi Gabbard before switching. A “moderate Republican” =/= a Republican who won’t stick to his/ her values

Sure, we can ask him the same question, I guess? Magaziner's campaign isn't predicated on him lying and claiming some moderate status or that he wouldn't simply tow the party line so I'm not sure why his answer matters.

Pretty much, the most solid campaign argument he's got is "I will vote for the democratic party's agenda and this guy will go against it 100% of the time"

Do you think inflation is only a United States problem?

I swear to god, sometimes I honestly wish Trump hadn’t lost just so I could see the mental gymnastics from people like you when the shit you complain about is the exact same or, very possibly, worse

No, we are 25 days away from running out of diesel. Major transportation union threatening to strike. An inept president with shady ties to ukraine has an open checkbook to that country costing thousands of lives. In the northeast, they are considering rationing home heating oil. Massive debt. All I hear from democrats is “abortion” and “maga”.

Mental gymnastics like what I heard from democrats with lies about trumps connections to Russia only to turn out that it was the Biden’s who were receiving the shady loans and “gifts”. Al of a sudden those things don’t matter. Like that?

what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

lol keep drinking the koolaid. You prob the dem that is mad at Republicans who overturned Roe V Wade which they told you they would for the last 50 years rather than the SNC (s instead of d cuz they are soaiclist) who used the topic of abortions to gain votes for the last 50 years rather than codify roe v wade into law. Laughable
