  • Dems for RINOs

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/201 to All on Wed Oct 21 13:09:04 2026
    Former Democrat US senator Joe Manchin is campaigning for RINO US senator Susan Collins.

    It's a little surprising because Democrats usually try to distance themselves from RINOs in order to not draw attention.

    Joe was an old school Democrat... "Normal" ... Who cares how Republican RINO makes it... So be it... She's an "R" and not a "D". and she's needed to secure a majority its OK.

    Yea it's ok. And it takes a guy like Manchin to be able to say nice things about her. I couldn't do that :)

    Manchin needs to focus on getting the RINO elected.

    Everyone else needs to focus on the midterms and keeping the majorities.

    I personally think we're good... Rallies are packed and the Democrats look retarded.

    ... Some people have no idea what they're doing, and are really good at it!

    Yea, I'm not worried either. I'm hopeful that we get a super-majority but if not it's no biggie.

    Who said super majority??

    Richard Petty, the old race car driver was at one of Trump's rallies a few days back and he gave a great analogy.

    He talked about Trump being a race car driver, Richard said like any great driver he needs a great "Pit Crew".

    He argued that you need to vote Republican all the way down the ticket to give Trump the support needed to complete his America First agenda.

    Sometimes races in the down ticket(s) are settled by only a handful of votes.

    So, people who shouldn't vote and do, void the vote of those who can and do.

    A Democrat spoke at a Chicago event saying that when they get in power they'll not just go after Trump but his supporters, like young people, so that they think twice about supporting him.

    Apathy is not going to help us.

    Be positive.

    We were on the cusp of being France and or Italy, or whatever other European country that is on fire today.

    Apathy will not help NY pull out of its current Democrat stranglehold.
