I’m coming from a different POV abt the Kasich thing bc I have to since I’m marginalized in a “red” state and surrounded by marginalized/vulnerable communities. 1) There’s usually a disaffected GOP’er speaker at DNC & a disaffected Dem at the GOP convention. 2) as extreme as he

Is having him speak highlights other GOP’ers are actually more extreme. 3) And most importantly .. It will help downballot races in “red” states. Folks like Sharice Davids. Folks like Joyce Elliot. Folks like Barbra Boiler.
Dems aren’t changing our stance on ReproRights. Ever!

Even Dems who are elected right here in Arkansas (mostly the D men) are .. to put it nicely .. very weak on speaking out about ReproRights. But, would I rather them than an Evangelical Death Cult GOP’er? Any damn day of the week. I’m just saying .. that’s “red” state politics.

Lastly, no .. I don’t like Kasich. I would never vote for the man. But, he ain’t running as a Democrat. He ain’t setting our platform/policies. Imo .. this is a move to help downballot Dems in “red” states. I could be wrong & if I am I’ll eat my words & y’all can drag/cancel me.

And look. Y’all gotta remember that the GOP is playing up the “extreme left” nonsense in “red” states. They’re using AOC’s words and pretending Biden is ruled by her and “the squad” .. they’re playing up the “abolish police” stuff. He’s tempering those things with this move, imo.

Sharice Davids deserves to stay in that seat & her constituents deserve a fair shot at keeping her. Some of y’all forgot already that AOC & Bernie tried their hardest to elect a white dude ( who was wishywashy on ReproRights) & cancel her. It didn’t work. Let’s keep it that way.

And I’m outspoken abt my loathing of GOP’ers, the Lincoln Project, NeverTrump’ers etc .. I don’t like em. But some folks do. I don’t give them my money. My time. My energy etc. I’m also outspoken abt my loathing of . But we need all the “red” state Dem seats we can get/keep.
