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 see plenty of Vivek signs in bum fuck Marengo and the surrounding areas of Mount Vernon. All of these dumb as shit country bumpkins really think he has their best interests at heart. It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic.

It’s not just dumb people who consistently vote Republican. I run 5 delivery app all over central ohio, and have seen signs in rich looking yards. It’s sick.

Rich people know that Republicans will make sure that they get to keep as much of their money as possible. God forbid do something ethical for the poors.

Exactly. It’s been this way as long as I can remember. (I’m 52) I remember being confused that my FCC grandmother was a Republican when she so often cried about how poor they were. I used to get in sooo much trouble for bad mouthing the Reagans. (I finally have my irrational rage regarding them under control. I hope 😬)

I will see you one rural Fairfield county voter and raise one Hamilton county voter. Based on the property the signs are in front off these are not dumb people, but there has to be something off with their thought process.

They don't really care. They just want to pwn the woke liberals (aka any Democrat). MAGA brain washed cult.

To be fair nobody in government has our interest at heart regardless of the party they belong to. If they did they’d actually work to fix the shit they campaign on. Instead they just use the issues to get votes like dangling a carrot in our faces. If they ever actually did fix anything then their party couldn’t campaign on it next time. No way they’re about to lose that leverage. Take abortion for example. They e been campaigning on it for the past five decades. They actually had a time when they could have codified RvW into law because they had the filibuster proof super majority to do so. Instead we got the dumpster fire known as the ACA. You want proof? There it is. They’re all greedy, power hungry elitists who don’t give a fuck about anybody but themselves.
