The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Then who is supporting Nancy Pelosi?

Quip aside, let's bring on the sunlight.

Honestly don't know anyone that likes Pelosi.

She has famously had an abysmal approval rate nationwide, but she gets more votes than her opponents so she gets to keep her seat.

Like Mitch McConnell, MTG, Lauren Boebert, or Matt Gaetz.

I'm convinced that at this point, people are just voting on familiarity

Absolutely. R's count on this.

In my state, they've tried running the weatherman for Senate. Not dog catcher or school board, SENATE. NATIONAL, not state.

There's a reason Dr. Oz and Herschel Walker were both running in 2022.

The reds here in Arizona have run ex-news-reader Kari Lake 3 times and lost all 3.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

........let her keep running then. Seems like an easy win. Even if she wins her 4th run, it was still a net positive for the democrats. She lost 3 times, and won 1 time. That's a +2 for democrats.

Alright. I'm going to run for office. But quick, I'm going to change my name to Tom Batman Hanks.

Seems to be how Trump is assembling his cabinet, too.

Nah, he's just going down the checklist of ~~Project 2025~~ some manuscript he's never heard of
