If she tries, she’ll find out there’s a pretty big difference between what works in GA-14 and what works in the state as a whole. Heck, even in her deep-red district she ran barely above Donald Trump in 2020 while running against literally no one; and she lost almost nine percentage points (and 60,000 votes) in 2022. I don’t think she’s got anywhere near what it would take to win the statewide Republican primary much less a matchup against a Democrat. ---

> [@Odesio](#): > > What the hell is it with people saying Democrat when they mean Democratic? It’s hard to call someone “democratic” in one breath and “socialist” in the next. Just as some people on this board insist on using the term “reactionary” instead of “conservative”; it’s the same logic. They don’t think the word is being used properly. It’s really not much more than that. Well, that and maybe a bit of honest confusion. Republicans belong to the Republican Party. The word “Republican” serves as both a noun and adjective. Those not trying to use it as a pejorative might assume Democrats are from the Democrat Party because they’d follow the same semantic rules. I realize this discussion is a pretty big tangent from this thread, and humbly suggest if we want to continue it, it might be worthy of its own thread. ---

> [@Sylvanz](#): > > The republicans have made that usage a slur, but it’s probably not recognize universally. Outside the U.S., there are major political parties called Liberal Democrats and Social Democrats. When indicating party affiliation, we’d certainly say “Liberal Democrat MP”. The notion that it’s a slur in the U.S. is certainly odd. There’s a good argument that “Democrat” is a better adjective to indicate party affiliation rather than adherence to philosophical principles. ---

> [@Son\_of\_a\_Rich](#): > > nothing she ever says, or ever has said, is worthwhile. On the contrary. To news organizations trying to get page views and subscribers and ratings, it’s very worthwhile. The nonsense she spews draws outrage and other kinds of attention. She’s a gold mine from their perspective. I mean, it’s fool’s gold, but there is no shortage of fools in this country. There’s a reason why MTG is a name people know among the 435 total representatives, most of whom relatively few people have ever heard of. ---

I felt a strange twinge of pity for MTG, though I share no views with her, because some flipped-out dude had threatened her over phone, as she reported to NBC yesterday. It’s a shame that this dude couldn’t control impulse. I don’t feel too much pity since she could tear into ass anyone who’d confront her, just from being somewhat athletic and all. And I know this isn’t in the spirit of this thread but I gotta feel humanity toward others, even toward an egotist like MTG.
