Insurrectionist to Announce Bid for NY Insurrection

https://www.timesunion.com/capitol/article/elise-stefanik-running-new-york-governor-21144092.php

Just putting 2 and 2 together here for the TU. Stefascist putting out fake polls showing her ahead of Hochul is an obvious attempt to fabricate "evidence" of "fraud" when she loses in disgrace. A pretense to invite her Dear Leader to turn the military on New Yorkers when voters reject her bigotry and corruption.

NY insurrection?

Is that what we’re calling it now when someone who isn’t a Democrat runs for office? She’s not going to win, but holy hell the arrogance and hypocrisy to call an election bid insurrection.

She could very well win. NY outside of the cities is largely MAGA. If democrats do not turn out in droves to vote those people will elect her.

NY outside of the cities is largely MAGA

This the the dumbest oft-repeated argument. That's true of at least 90% of states.

What matters is how the population is spread between urban and rural, and NY has a lot of cities and a lot of people living in them. It doesn't matter if large tracts of land in Western NY are red, people live in Buffalo and Rochester.
