Current Affairs General US politics (ie, not POTUS related)

Cruz has aged 10 years and put on at least 50 lbs since he ran for POTUS just 4 years ago. What price to pay for whoring himself out to Tweetie Amin.

It takes a special breed of sycophant to allow a man to call you a liar, call your wife ugly, accuse your father of helping assassinate JFK, and then sidle right back up to him for political gain as if none of those things were ever said.

There’s a lot of them that I have utter contempt for, but Cruz is pretty high on the list.

It's a staggering comment on how abysmally bad Trump is that I rarely hear Cruz mentioned these days. He was so unmanned by the 2016 campaign that he had to grow a beard.

HAAAAARD pass on this guy that’s running for the open Senate seat in my state. There’s another ad he’s run that I couldn’t find where he leans hard into his Indian heritage, and then says something to the effect of “Let them try and call ME a racist” as if that somehow precludes him from racism. Sadly, it’ll come down to either this guy or the other Republican candidate, whose entire strategy seems to be to plaster “Endorsed by Trump” on all his signs and billboards.

The most racist person I know in real life is Indian. Now obviously that's no reflection on the nation/nationality/culture as a whole, but it's certainly not an "immunity card" either

As I said when this first came out: anyone who believed he was a threat to Biden is a moron. Spend this afternoon trying to figure out why you thought that black people would fall for this in November when actually you were the one who fell for it immediately.

Marianne Williamson had supporters.

Which is to say, there's a lot of dumb people out there of all races.

The margins to impact the election as a 3rd party are SO narrow. Can't speak for anyone else, but my concern (or at least potential concern) wasn't specific to Kanye or black people, it would have been the same had anyone with such a huge profile/following gotten into the race without a snowball's chance of winning.
