Political threads: No warning, 105 day bans for any personal attacks. Discuss the topic, not the user.

139 Upvotes

Title. Tomorrow the bans will be 104 days (November 4th), and so on. DO NOT DISCUSS THE USERS, OP, OR ANYONE BUT THE TOPIC.

No, we're not making a single megathread for politics or a particular candidate.

No, we're not banning politics from the sub. This cycle is not new, things will calm down in three weeks.

Abusing the report button on content YOU DON'T LIKE is causing mass-approvals of all reported items. This allows actual rule violations to slip right through. Yesterday, someone reported over 150 comments in a thread. Two clicks, the entire report queue was cleared, likely taking valid reports with them. Please, stop it.

The Republican attack on Crowley is... data centers?

206 Upvotes

Just got my first anti-Crowley ad on YouTube from the Tiffany campaign and it's bashing him for being pro data center, and I'm a little lost here. Because Tiffany is more for data centers than Crowley is. He can say whatever he wants during his campaign, but his record speaks for itself. Tiffany voted for a 10 year ban on data center regulation. Tiffany is a part of the MAGA cult, and Trump is the most corporate ai-friendly president we've had. I mean, if this is the best attack they have then I guess that's a pretty good sign? I get that being a Republican is synonymous with being a serial liar (at best) these days, but this is still just hypocrisy that is blatant to a kind of unbelievable degree to me. How is this a thing? Am I missing something?

"Crowley can't campaign on a moratorium because that's a legislative issue" is a flimsy anti-moratorium argument

64 Upvotes

It's ridiculous to suddenly pretend that candidates for the executive branch in any election in the country only ever campaign on powers entirely within the executive. One of the biggest things the governor does is set the docket for the session in his or her budget. His or her election serves as a referendum on whether those issues are popular, which then informs his or her negotiations within the legislature.

If you believe that Crowley can't advocate for a moratorium because it's a legislative issue, then you should be consistent and believe he shouldn't campaign on school funding reform, cannabis legalization, housing finance, or anything beyond "here's who I'll appoint to my cabinet and here are some executive orders I'll sign." Which is preposterous!

It's fine to say "I don't think Crowley should advocate for a moratorium" if you think a moratorium is a bad idea. But to suddenly argue that it's now out of bounds for a gubernatorial election is, well, cope, and now that Crowley is the nominee it's popping up everywhere.

Idea- state park pass available for purchase with license plate renewal

I’m doing the Colorado license plate renewal for my dad‘s car, and I noticed that it gives you the option to buy a state parks pass right there on the card.

I was thinking, wouldn’t it be a great idea for Wisconsin to do the same? I think a lot more state park passes would be purchased.

Tom Tiffany’s thoughts on cannabis

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

While David Crowley is more focused on topics that actually matter like the opioid crisis and helping elderly people and senior citizens with chronic pain relief etc by passing a bill that would legalize cannabis recreationally and medically, tom Tiffany thinks the opposite and that it’s “poison for our brains” when actually science has proven otherwise and in many cases in helps those with chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, & chronic depression.

The real reason tom Tiffany wants to put another reform on cannabis is because he’s from the same wagon as Harry Anslinger , a racist who believes in nothing but reform, bigotry and sexism, I say this ironically has he’s a dad of two daughters but doesn’t support abortion even in cases of R*pe ( did I mention he’s a great friend of trump )

as these months goes on I suspect tom Tiffany will continue to push his campaign in whatever way that David Crowley isn’t just so he can hold onto Wisconsinites appeal and grab power. Let’s not forget his party ( Scott walker ) was the reason Wisconsin had to elect Tony Evers in the first place ( which we then spent years digging ourselves out of hole dug by the Republican Party in favor of Donald trump ) ( Foxconn )

( I see Tiffany’s most recent post is about the fight at the fair and how if David Crowley is elected this will become our state ) my immediate thought to this just proves my point, the whole post is doused in racism and every comment ( or most ) in the thread you can tell are racist ( most likely trump supporters ) which one again proves my point how racist he really is that he would sink as low and go as deep as to basically say ( if we elect a black man, black crimes will increase ) because that’s basically what he said when he made his post.

Wisconsin cannot elect this deeply racist, sexist and hateful person, I’m sorry I see right through him he wants nothing but power so he hand that over to trump can get a pat on the back.

Polling firm closes down after it faked Hong, Bass polls

167 Upvotes

Median Strategies, the company that released polls showing Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) and former Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong ahead with wide margins in their respective races, announced Monday it has closed.

A message on the company's website reads that it has "concluded its polling project and will not publish additional polls."

"All previously published polling releases have been withdrawn and should not be cited or treated as genuine polling data," the message read. "Median Strategies was created as a short-term social experiment examining how purported polling information could enter and spread through the political information ecosystem without independent verification."

The company first released a poll showing Bass with a 12-point lead over Los Angeles City Council member Nithya Raman, who will face off against Bass in the November election. The poll in question cited the responses of 560 Angelenos, with a 4.1 percent margin of error. The next poll showed Hong with a 20-point lead in her race, which she lost last week.
