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've always said this race will be an interesting case study of whether misogyny beats racism

Ohio voted for Obama twice, we’ve never voted for a woman over a man unfortunately.

So misogyny will win.

"I can't believe this country hates women more than it loves guns"

The problem is women. I'm Gen X and grew up with the pervasive message that other women are competition. No one hates women like other women. I feel like this is changing woth the younger generations but it could be wishful thinking

It was another interesting case of republicans putting forward another dogshit candidate and Democrats having someone with serious flaws herself.
