Buffalo, NY - The Comeback Kid

[Never Made it to Graceland]

I'm actually really interested to see if this is successful.  Since I couldn't care less about Buffalo, I selfishly think it would be nice to have another city other than Seattle and Portland that's hijacked by the socialist nuts.  Maybe then the midwest cities can start sending their homeless junkies to Buffalo instead of putting them on buses to Seattle.

You really need to touch grass sometime.

If Brown ends up defeating Walton with a write-in campaign -- and not just defeating her, but winning in a double-digit landslide -- will all those hack journalists who wrote glowing articles about the "socialist uprising in America's cities" issue apologies and retractions?

Vote Blue No Matter Who, Except... well, just fill in any progressive candidate who won or looked like they were competitive in a primary.

Vote Blue No Matter Who, Except... well, just fill in any progressive candidate who won or looked like they were competitive in a primary.

It's a blue vs blue election.

0% chance this would ever be said if a centrist successfully primaried AOC and she launched a write-in campaign or something like that

There's a 0% chance that this race will go to a Republican due to split votes.  That is always the issue when a defeated primary opponent runs an independent general election campaign.  It's basically a do-over of the primary since they're effectively the only two candidates.

I'm sure you understand this and you're just pretending to be thick so you can try to dunk on me.

And why should this loser Brown get a do-over of the primary?

Cause he can? Like if India is the better candidate she’ll win.

Uh huh. I wish I was going through life with such a simplistic understanding of politics as you and General Macaroni. Things would be a lot less complicated.

Glad to see the unilateral disarmament is over!

Oh please. You couldn't even commit to voting for Biden in 2024. You of all people in this thread don't get to talk - at least MacArthur has been loyal to the party for years!

It's Q's party now. I can't see myself voting for Republicans any time soon. Besides, Biden's probably not running.

Anyway, after Nina Turner responded to her loss by spending days inciting against American Jews getting involved in politics, her entire wing can go to hell. Walton too.

Simmer down, Hogan 2024. You definitely don't get to gatekeep what a Democrat is. And again, you don't know what antisemitism is.

I disagree with your reasoning here.  VBNMW absent extraordinary circumstances is a terrible rule because you’re then training yourself not to hold people on your side of the isle accountable.  If folks want leftist votes, they need to at least offer someone leftists can live with.  Beating Trump or someone like him is an extraordinary circumstance, but even with Senate races, there’s often no reason to vote for a GE Democratic nominee who opposes abolishing the filibuster.  Manchin has an excuse, but why not sit out the Arizona Senate GE or vote third party in that race if Sinema gets renominated?

Letting Republicans take power is the absolute worst way imaginable to "hold people on your side of the aisle accountable."

It's like people who rooted for al-Qaeda after seeing the Abu Ghraib images.

There are manifold other ways to achieve accountability.  You don't have to start rooting for the villains.


With all that said I can't believe the last few pages of whinging in this thread.  I haven't checked in in a while but it looks like people are still bitching about Byron Brown running in the general.  For the umpteenth time, "vote blue no matter who" is completely irrelevant to this situation because both candidates are Democrats.

You can try and say "oh Byron Brown isn't a real Democrat because he's supported by Republicans" but that just makes you sound like an idiot.  Joe Biden was supported by Republicans in his general.

You would not be saying the same thing if Brown won the primary and Walton still ran. You'd be calling her a sore loser and a Republican stooge.

He really would be. He's a straight up hypocrite. I think his biggest problem with the shadowy Left is that they often talk about helping people he hates, like the homeless and mentally ill. Bezos paid for a homeless iniative to be destroyed with the threat of lawsuits in Seattle, so no wonder he loves him so much and is joining in on his laughable "Recall Sawant" sore loser effort (after the Amazon funded candidate lost last year.) The Democratic Party has a proud history of people who said that a society is defined by the care you give to society's most vulnerable - General MacArthur obviously has no such motivation, and is instead driven by a near-psychopathic and personal hatred of the aforementioned Left.

To little surprise, Bernie Sanders and The Gravel Institute endorse India Walton.

It's been two and a half years and we still care what the Gravel Teens think?

It's 2021 and we still care what GeneralMacarthur thinks?

Oh wait. No, we don't. Go away.

Any "Democrat" supporting Lyron Clown should re-evaluate their entire lives.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

Glad I can run a write-in campaign against Pappas as the Legal Marijuana Now candidate with GMac's blessing. Just like GMac said, it's blue vs. blue!

If there's no Republican running or the Dem is guaranteed the win, go for it.  Like you thought this was a dunk but no, I don't care, as long as there's no chance of you spoiling the race and throwing it to a Republican candidate.

Your sanctimonious assertion of Democratic loyalty is adorable when you consistently back Republicans like Ann Davison. Your politics are a well-known joke.

City Councilor goes full anti-Semite.

Anyone supporting Brown is only concerned with scoring an ideological win over le evil left, not the people of Buffalo. Brown has objectively been a terrible mayor by almost every metric.

It's not Atlas tier analysts and moderate heroes causing India Walton to loose, it's mostly ordinary residents of buffalo who don't like her agenda and who prefer the corrupt machinations of Bryon Brown to her agenda while also not being political engaged enough to vote in the primary. The fact that is even a competive race should illustrate just how unpopular socialism and the broader left-wing "defund the police" agenda is with the american public

Weird how Ray LOLfield, despite seeing mythical left-wing anti-Semites in his Cheerios every morning, has no response to Brown's campaign spouting anti-Semitism, yet has enough free time in his busy life to recommend this.

As was pointed out above you, there is no evidence that this came from Byron Brown's campaign and I also recommended the post shutting down the disgusting attempt by the guy who thinks the term "Jewish supremacy" is fine and dandy to justify it. But hey, I'm just glad you found some antisemitism you can actually condemn.

Excuses, excuses. And I condemn all antisemitism, unlike you who ignores it until you need to invent some to justify your deranged crusade against the left. Nice new username btw, I'll just keep calling you LOLfield because all your opinions are a true minefield of LOLs.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

Yeah, this is extremely over.

Not by tricks or hack judges or whatever - Brown simply took the race seriously. Not a lot to be mad about.

It's pretty sad that voters ignored his obvious corruption and failings as a mayor, but I guess it's their fault that Buffalo will continue to be mired in poverty as one of the worst American cities. It's been funny to see our worst hacks like Ray LOLfield and Generic Macaroni embrace this terrible candidate because le evil left, though. It just means we can take them even less seriously from now on.

Hoes Mad

You realize that Byron Brown is against everything in your signature and will make those things harder to achieve, right?

I'm sorry you actually had to win a competitive general election after a sneak primary victory. This must be a very trying time for you.

"Sneak primary election" do you even hear yourself? If the roles were reversed, you'd be crying and shidding your pants right now like you usually do because a progressive refused to accept their primary loss.

The coalition of Kander2020 and Ray LOLfield, two pathetic trolls, to support the write-in Republican is hilarious, but not unexpected. Hopefully Clown gets indicted for the things he's currently under investigation for.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

That's right. Everything we don't like is a Republican.

Kinda like how everything you don't like is anti-Semitic, except this is based on reality (Republicans backing Brown) and not your own paranoid delusions.

My lord, dude. Cope.

Go back to being a Republican, there's no point pretending to be a Dem anymore. You're probably cheering on Ciatarelli too.

You done with your current shtick of pretending to be a Dem?

You and your ilk are certainly doing your best to send me back! But no, a whole lot of fumigating left to do in that party before I'd even consider it. The Dems are doing a much better job of sending their antisemitic fringe freak candidates back to the barn.

Lol, you're as single minded as Fuzzy Bear. Anti-Semites here! Anti-Semites there! Anti-Semites in my soup. Your politics have nothing to do with reality, and honestly toxic people like you are the reason Democrats are getting slaughtered across the board. It's not even about politics. Plenty of people are center-left Dems and are reasonable, seeking party unity. People like you and Macaroni care more about the pet issues that occupy 90% of your otherwise not-particularly full minds, and owning the left matters more than beating Republicans, even if the candidate you exult (like Brown) happens to be under investigation for corruption and has been a certifiable failure as a mayor.
