IN-SEN Gravis: Braun +1

[#gravelgang #lessiglad]

He deserves to lose after voting to confirm a war criminal.

braun wouldnt do that?

3/51 republicans voted against a war criminal or would have if not for health (McCain) = 5.8% chance he wouldn't vote for a war criminal. Which is greater than the 0.0% chance from Donnelly.

what? um... you must see the faulty logic... after all, braun would likely be a standard trumplican. Also, as bad as torture is, I think giving the rich more tax cuts will likely have more widespread bad effects pon our country

I don't. Tax cuts can be repealed or tweaked. Tacit acceptance of torture can't.

Why would Braun vote against Gina Haspel? He's not a moderate, he's a semi-Trumpist who is quite conservative.

Saying Donnelly deserves to lose after voting for a war crimal ≠ saying Braun would be better.

that was a bad example, braun would have voted haspel anyway

I'm going to direct you to this:

I understand that our two party system necessitates making ethical compromises in the voting booth, but ultimately, every voter must draw the line at what he or she seems an appropriate compromise. My line is voting to confirm a person who I very much consider to be a war criminal. If I still lived in Indiana, I'd leave the Senate race blank or vote for the green party candidate, if there is one

well, sadly, in our current that is the equivalent of throwing away your vote.

There are plenty of Democratic-leaning voters who'd refuse to vote for a pro-life candidate or a gun control candidate or any number of other "things." The Haspel vote is my "thing." I'm a single issue voter on torture and to me, it's worth a protest vote.
