IL-03

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

I miss daddy dan already, I cant even adequately put it into words

Then perhaps "Daddy Dan" shouldn't have been an anti-choice Congressman who thought voting against Obamacare was a good idea.

That’s why I liked him ffs

So wait a minute. You and I both support Joe, who is staunchly pushing expansion of Obamacare to include the public option that the Republicans + Joe Lieberman stanched 10 years ago. Why would you support Biden if voting against Obamacare was so integral to your support of Lipinski? Genuinely confused.

I’m only supporting Biden since he is the best choice out of the bunch, but he is much further to the left than I actually like.

Lipinski is to the left of where Joe Biden was in his first decade in the Senate.

In news that I think all of us can appreciate, noted Neo-Nazi Arthur Jones is pulling only 11% in the Republican primary.

only one worse than marie newman

Oh stop.

Youre a RINO.

1) Yes, and only because Ohio canceled its primary today. Thus depriving me of the opportunity to cast a ballot for Biden, and officially change my avatar back to red.

2) one need not be a r i n o, or indeed anything more than the most histrionic minority of Lipinski supporters, to claim that a literal neo-Nazi is the only worst candidate on the ballot than Newman. So I repeat:

That's the definition of a RINO.  Zip it.

And proud of it. Which is why I am happily commenting on DEMOCRATIC primary. Shove it.

[libertpaulian]

So much for the Democrats being a Big Tent party.

Don't care how often I have to repeat myself on this. Yes, any candidate who is not only adamantly Auntie choice, but a lead Point person in legislating against gay rights for years, votes against Obamacare, refuses to endorse Obama for re-election, is at best Centrist on most other economic issues, AND represents a safely Democratic District to boot, yeah, they're going to fly like a lead balloon and deservedly so.

Additionally, if Lapinski was representing a district in West Virginia, Idaho, or maybe even non Gary or Indianapolis Indiana, relatively few Democrats here would seriously give him much beef.

On a further note, how many Republicans can you point to who are as similarly left-of-center on as many issues that Lipinski is right-of-center on and representing a safely Republican District who is it getting primaried? Please, go on and show me the pro-choice, longtime Pro gay-marriage, pro-obamacare, and generally moderate to right of Center on most other issues Republican who refused to endorse Mitt Romney due to being to extremist, who is also representing an r + 8 District without getting primaried.

I'll wait.

Charlie Baker signed a transgender civil rights bill, a $15 minimum wage, and a tough red flag law.

RIP FF. The Democrats continue their march to perdition.

[libertpaulian]

So, is it fair to say that even though Newman was endorsed by the Justice Dems, she's not really on their side?  It was more like Stacey Abrams getting endorsed by them?

Yes, I agree with you. Newman is a generic democrat. She’s just the progressive choice when compared to the alternative.

So, she'd be more like Katie Porter, and less like AOC?

Lipinski would be a Republican if he was representing a tossup district. We have people like Tester, Manchin, and Peterson who are Democrats despite representing solid red states/districts. We ARE the big tent party.

You're calling him a Republican, as if pro-life people aren't welcomed.

You'd be kicking JBE to the curb if you had a magic wand.

That is unadulterated horsesh**t. Even when Edwards signed one of the most restrictive abortion bans in the country, the near Universal consensus among Democrats here was along the lines of: "(grumble). Well it IS Louisiana after all. Hope the courts overrule this..."

You are just factually incorrect hear my friend. Jde is buying large a hero to most Atlas progressives for winning and keeping the Louisiana governorship.

Folks.

I would like to use this opportunity to apologize for some ill-advised comments I made about Baby boomers earlier on this forum in the heat of passion.

All lives matter.

OK, but virtually all Democrats are more liberal or left-wing now than they were in 1973. That's just the ideological transition of the party. Lipinski is very much behind the curve by about 20 years.

Exactly, which is why i expect to end up being a zell miller type in 10 to 20 years ish

Newman won

[Catholics vs. Convicts]

No movement in Chicago votes for a while now. I hope the machine is finding some votes!

[W]

Newman is an absolute FF and will be the congresswoman IL-03 deserves. My only hope is that with her proving a former loser can win a rematch that we haven't seen the last of Cisneros!

Charlie Baker signed a transgender civil rights bill, a $15 minimum wage, and a tough red flag law.

Meh, picking a blue State Governor seems a little bit like a cheat because the voting Dynamics for congressional representation versus an executive oh, and Judgment of their voting record accordingly, are rather different. Not to mention how how much do you want to bet if he new knew had tried to veto these bills he would have been overridden by the legislature in a heartbeat?

Still, I'll give you at least some points for Baker. He only lost over a quarter of the vote to a completely underfunded no name primary Challenger due to his moderation.

How about Larry Hogan? I simply assumed because he's a vaunted moderate in a state like Maryland that he must be pro-choice and pro-gay-rights

[Landslide Lyndon]

Good riddance to bad trash. A nepotistic dickhead who palled around with Paul Ryan while voting against Obamacare.

Still, I'll give you at least some points for Baker. He only lost about a third of the votes to a completely underfunded no name candidate due to his moderation.

How about Larry Hogan? I simply assumed because he's a vaunted moderate in a state like Maryland that he must be pro-choice and pro-gay-rights

Yes, forgot about him.  He signed some laws beefing up gun control as well as a ban on conversion therapy.

My point is...the Dems should be able to be tolerant of someone like Lipinski.  This is part of the reason why we're so polarized.

[Gracile]

Some of Will County E-Day came in and Newman just expanded her lead. Stick a fork in Lipinski.

We are a big tent party. Progressives are part of the party, too.
