I support mostly progressive / left-wing candidates, except in states where i believe the senator is questionable or the state could elect an even more progressive candidate. I also support some relatively progressive senators in less progressive states (O'Rourke in Texas, Sinema in Arizona). In most of the other elections, i still hope that mostly democratic senators would win their seats where it's close. I support a third party candidate in the NJ senate election.

I am rescinding my endorsement of Senator Mazie Hirono and endorsing Republican Challenger Ron Curtis.

Why are you rescinding your endorsement of Hirono? Because of the foolish comments she has made relating to Kavanaugh's allegations?

Saying on National TV that people lose their right to due process based on their judicial philosophy is a lot more than an innocent 'foolish statement'. Enough said.

[Dukakisite1988]

Democrat across the board, with perhaps a few left-winger minor party candidates here and there. Certainly no endorsement of any Trumpist (i.e. Republican) candidate.

I'm surprised that you are endorsing Menendez. I thought Hugin would have been the perfect candidate for you there.

On paper I can see why you think that, but I'm actually fairly critical of big pharma for a conservartive. Hugin's ties to that industry make me uncomfortable. It is also why I am a reluctant supporter of Morrissey in WV. His family's ties to big pharma make me uneasy (but Manchin has his own big pharma problem as well).

Also, my support for Menendez is mainly tied to his hawkish foreign policy. He is staunchly Pro-Israel, Anti-Iran Deal, Pro-Iran Sanctions, Anti-Maduro and Anti-Cuba normalization. He's a Scoop Jackson democrat and I love those type of dems.

I would've supported Tom Kean, Jr., over Menendez, though.



Ultimately, for me to back a Dem they need to be foreign policy hawks or very moderate. For example, I really like Manchin, because he is semi-hawkish and very moderate, and could feasibly wind up backing him if Morrissey makes a big mistake.

I also support Cardin because of foreign policy.

Why are you endorsing the Republicans in Michigan, New York, Vermont, and Massachusetts?

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Stabenow is my least favorite of the 10 trump-state democrats, and the incumbents in NY/VT/MA are simply way too socialist.

I'm pretty surprised that you chose to endorse de Leon over Feinstein. Why did you do that? I'm genuinely curious.

Feinstein's handling of the Kavanugh situation and while De Leon is to the left of Feinstein he wont be a leader of any top committee .
