Conway seems to be a straight-talking sort of bloke, and funny to boot.

Midterm -
'Gridlock' is better for the USA and the world than Trump "Twilight Zone"

izzychambers@social.vivaldi.net

@randahl Way too centrist for me.

ilka4you@mastodon.social

@IzzyChambers @randahl your alternative is the fascist megalomanica. If ppl keep standing on their high horse declining every alternative to Felon 47, they will keep him for ever in his seat. Like that much? if you do not vote for anyone else, you strengthen him. Congratulation to introducing the 3rd reich once again - this time on your side.

@randahl Good on George. He is a frequent commenter on MS NOW. And one who has his head screwed on right.

izzychambers@social.vivaldi.net

@Ilka4You @randahl I think you misunderstand me. Conway isn't the only Democrat running. I'd prefer one to the left of Conway.

kristen_d@mastodon.social

@JohnnieMac@mastodon.scot @randahl We don't trust him. I'm happy he's left the dark side of rancid Nazi cunt GOP. He was fine with every one of Trump's SCOTUS picks. All of them.

Happy to have him help beat the Nazis. He's not fit to lead us, however. He is still LEARNING.

kristen_d@mastodon.social

@JohnnieMac@mastodon.scot It says something - a lot - about a person when that person shits on the Democrats right now. 'Bye. #Blocked

@randahl what? He’s running in one of the most Blue districts in the country and still holds mostly conservative positions. In no way shape or form is this a victory; at best, it’s just an attempt to drive the party to the right. If by some miracle he wins the primary he’s just taking a seat from a better Democrat. It won’t hurt Trump one iota.

zeblarson@hcommons.social

@Ilka4You @IzzyChambers @randahl It’s one of the safest seats for a Democrat in the country, people can ask for a better Democrat than him. If Conway wants to run in a competitive district, that’s a whole other convo.

@randahl
Let's hope he doesn't get murdered before he can do any good...

jonasdahl@expressional.social

@randahl Reinstate democracy - brillant goal

sonicjazzmonkey@mastodonapp.uk

@randahl This is good news.

gsymon@mstdn.social

@randahl

Wow!

I've been following the US demise since ~2015 and taking into account George Conway's position back then and his being married to Kellyanne... it's pretty shocking really, that he's arrived at this turning point. It's a good measure of the extent that the US has crumbled, for this to happen.
What he's said about his intentions are pretty encouraging. I like the impeachment bit the most.

@JohnnieMac @randahl Agree. Our system of government has reached a crisis point. The only way out of this mess is for Democrats to have more fortitude and for all potential voters to read, think, and vote.

It’s gone way beyond whether a candidate is “progressive enough” or whatever quibbles come to mind. Not voting equals a vote for Trump and his thuggish allies and the stranglehold they currently have on all three branches of the Federal government.

@michaelormsby @JohnnieMac @randahl

I think it will matter...

Another centrist Dems Administration may again fail to get re-elected.

troy_frizzell@mstdn.social

@randahl

Fuck that guy.

We don't need right wing Democrats. If he wants to run somewhere in a Republican area, great, go do that. Maybe he could bump some insane Trumpist out of office.

But the Democrats need to elect leftists in the primaries. This guy is not left at all.

ericdere@mastodon.nl

@randahl I kinda missed his ex in this ad. Did I overlook something?

ilka4you@mastodon.social

@IzzyChambers @randahl ah, thank you for clearing up, I understand now.

doppelganger75@mastodon.world

@kristen_d @randahl I trust him.
