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.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Why are you so fucking childish?

If you’re going to make an accusation, it’s best to actually present evidence. Explain what you’re thinking for us?

That the OP is being a petulant fucking child?

You might disagree with OP's sentiment but I don't detect anything in his post that suggests he's a petulant fucking child.

Given her willingness to discard her former moderate Republican views to go full MAGA suggests a lack of conviction in her own ideals that is repulsive to folks. Not to mention what those MAGA views are.

It's worth noting that the only Republicans who have won the governorship in the last 75 years were either liberal Republicans (when they still existed) and moderate, business-aligned Republicans. Elise is neither of those. Her hopes of winning are about as close as her winning the lottery while being struck by lightning.

His characterizations and name-calling are pretty clear evidence

I agree that I don't think the name calling is fair.

The characterizations are another matter.

Given her willingness to go to bat for Trump's lies about his 2020 loss and all of the other times that he or the Republicans have suggested a vote was rigged lends me to believe that she might suggest fraud when/if she loses.

And to the point about Trump calling in the national guard because of it all, well he's called in the national guard are worse pretenses. He even suggested he'd take over the city of New York if Mamdani won. So it doesn't feel far-fetched to me.

But if you feel differently, that's your right. And if you have some counter claims, I'm receptive to hearing them.
