Vivek's campaign is done and I'm glad

What Vivek did to Amy, using her abusive mother in a campaign ad, is horrible straight up. But it is also a good thing that he did this because it proved he would've been a horrible governor. Absolutely no morals in doing whatever it takes to win. This is who he is. He would've destroyed Ohio if he won, ruining the economy and destroying the land to fill it with data centers, and now Ohio finally has a chance to grow again.

I also genuinely can not believe he doubled down on the campaign ad. He could've salvaged his campaign if he just apologized and denounced it. Instead, he clarified that he was responsible for the ad and wouldn't apologize. Republicans genuinely will never apologize for their actions.

That being said, do not get complicit. Go vote for Amy regardless to ensure her victory

I mean not in the same way it is for congressional districts but it can have an effect. If you’re so gerrymandered that you think “my vote doesn’t matter” that can depress turnout which absolutely affects governor and senator races.

Since OP doesn't understand gerrymandering, and yet is concerned about it, then I guess perhaps you're right.

However, sitting out a statewide race because you're worried about gerrymandering means you're not too bright. Amazing to be so worried about something as to not vote, yet not understand the thing you're worried about.

You've described most of the electorate though. For most issues people vote on (their so-called passion points), they retain little to no knowledge of it beyond a few bullet points from the nightly news.

A lot of people in Ohio showed up at the polls last year to vote against Mamdani in the New York Mayoral race. A lot of people here are just morons, and they talk to each other and reinforce their moronic beliefs. It also isn't unique to one side of the political spectrum in Ohio either.

How did people in Ohio vote against a candidate in another state’s mayoral race?

We are Ohioans. We vote for Ohio candidates in elections for Ohio. We have to have established residency to vote here, and if we’re an Ohio resident, we cannot vote in another state for their candidates while being a resident of Ohio. If we did, that would be voter fraud.

Please explain how this could have been possible.

This is exactly my point. Thanks.

Wait—so, people in Ohio went to polling places in Ohio to try to vote against Mamdani, thinking he’d be on our ballots?

Please tell me this isn’t real. I beg of you.
