I was discussing MTG with a coworker and he said she probably did it on purpose just to get attention. I argued that no, she really is that dumb, and most people just can’t ignore her, so she gets her lust for attention anyway. ---

As a life long republican, voted for Reagan, I find this woman reprehensible and I am flabbergasted the people of GA put her in this position. I was not following the races there when she was elected so I have to wonder who was her competition? Someone so awful that this nutjob was the better selection? No matter. She is a horrible person and hopefully the dolts in Georgia wake up come the next election. ---

> [@Icarus](#): > > To be fair, in her district any Dem candidate would be a sacrificial lamb. That’s why you need to look at the primary\*. She received a plurality of the primary vote with just over 40% of the vote. This resulted in a runoff with John Cowan (a neurosurgeon, BS physics from Davidson College, MD from Johns Hopkins) where Greene (BS Business Administration from UGA), with Trump’s endorsement, got 57% of the vote. \*IMO the political mess we find ourselves is a direct result of our two-party system. There just has to be a better way to select our leaders. Greene received 43,892 votes in the primary and 43,813 votes in the runoff, in a district that had over 300,000 people vote in the General. The two-party system resulted in having 14% of the voters choose who represents them in Washington, which is why there is someone who believes in Jewish Space Lasers instead of a brain surgeon helping us make the laws. Of course, both sides of the two-party system have a vested interest in perpetuating it, so don’t expect this to change anytime soon. ---

At least Jewish Space Lasers give us something to laugh about. Carson was a joke, but he wasn’t funny. As long as Empty Greene represents the QOP, Independents will be voting Democratic. ---

> [@excavating\_for\_a\_mind](#): > > This resulted in a runoff with John Cowan (a neurosurgeon, BS physics from Davidson College, MD from Johns Hopkins) where Greene (BS Business Administration from UGA) Nitpick: I think business administration is arguably more relevant than neurosurgery to running the government. Though I’m afraid that currently “kindergarten teacher” might be more relevant yet. – the problem isn’t what Greene’s degree is or isn’t. The problem is that she’s an obnoxious fool. ---

For the primary election in Arizona voters registered independent can request any of the recognized parties’ ballots. That’s why I changed from Libertarian to independent in 2019. Unfortunately for the 2020 election, looking over the candidate lists there weren’t _any_ Republicans I was willing to even hold my nose and vote for – they were all trying to out-Trump each other. ---

I am. But more middle of the road than anything. I’d never vote for the likes of Trump again but I would never vote for Biden either. IMHO we are pretty screwed here in the US when it comes to our choices of many of our politicians. ---

Trump is the head of the party; MT Green, Lauren Boebert, Madison Cawthorn, and all those who tried to overthrow the democracy (and those who supported, covered for, aided, and abetted them) _are_ the Republican party. It’s not like they’re your family. I have no idea why someone who loves this country and this democracy would still call themselves a Republican. But, that’s a topic for another thread, I guess.
