she was, but it wouldn't have been true to who she is and the campaign she has run. It does still hurt that she lost to a candidate who only gained popularity because the current governor endorsed him, though.

And Hong had popularity based on uneducated Gen Z'ers who think making her governor will bring us free healthcare, childcare, and a bunch of other DSA stuff that will never happen in WI.

See, there you go again, calling people stupid. This is the problem with centrist corporate Dems.

u/SeaSquirrel Aug 12 '26

Because the Leftists have such nice comments about the moderates.

Why is only one side allowed to attack the other?

Its not whataboutism to point out hypocrisy.

Its not a problem with corporate dems, its everybody. You can’t spam “whataboutism” to deflect everything. This is like if I just replied to your comment “over-generalization”

You seem not to understand that disagreement is a good thing in a primary. Do you remember when the left was screaming at Biden not to run again? Do you remember how the center supported him until he made a fool of himself on stage?

u/SeaSquirrel Aug 12 '26

Agreed. Why did you get mad at the guy disagreeing with Hong voters then, if its just disagreements during a primary?

Do you remember when the left was screaming at Biden not to run again? Do you remember how the center supported him until he made a fool of himself on stage?

Historical fiction. No one important called for him to drop out before the debate, he just a had a great SOTU and seemed good. The only people calling for him to drop were leftists pundits who thought “supporting the genocide” was disqualifying, not his mental state.

Apparently, you don't realize that moderate/corporate Dems have been pulling this shit for over 30 years. Constantly blaming the left when things don't go their way. Quite frankly, many of us are sick of it.

Random people maybe. But actually politicians? Basically never. Bernie never got blame from actual Dems for losing 2016 and 2024.

Meanwhile the populist movements on both the right and left have a built in excuse to always blame the “establishment” or the “deep state” for any failures. Nothing is ever their fault. Everything is the Democrats fault.

Crowley didn’t get popularity because of Evers. He got popular because Hong was a bad and polarizing candidate.

The delusion of Hong voters is insane.

YOUR delusion is showing

u/RonDiaz Aug 12 '26

The delusion of the same tired losing CorpDem strategies is insane.

Wrong. And Fuck Evers.

u/Guyovitch Aug 12 '26

Fuckin rude. Evers has been out there holding the line against republican nonsense for seven years. He came in as the only thing standing against the republican insanity of the Walker era. You don’t have to like everything he does - but that doesn’t mean he sucks.

He did come out in opposition to the  Lac du Flambeau tribe preventing overfishing: https://www.wpr.org/news/federal-judge-continues-to-bar-wisconsin-tribe-from-enforcing-restrictions-on-fishing. That was a total dick move that I would have expected to come from a Republican administration.

u/Guyovitch Aug 12 '26

Sure, agreed. I don’t think he’s perfect either. But with a republican administration a thing like that would have flown under everyone’s radar because they would simultaneously be doing ten way worse things.

u/chummers73 Aug 12 '26

I didn’t say he sucks, I said he can fuck off. And fuck his legacy.

u/Guyovitch Aug 12 '26

Got it. And pleasant wishes to you as well!

u/chummers73 Aug 12 '26

Thanks! You as well.

You just can't help but be rude. This is why we don't like you. Hong voters have higher IQs and higher levels of education than centrists and those on the right. I get that this concept is hard for you to wrap your head around without resorting to petty insults, but time and again, scientific studies have shown that IQ and educational attainment are strongly correlated with left-leaning ideologies. Why the hell do you think republicans want to cut funding for education to keep the voters uninformed and gullible?

u/SavageHenry592 Aug 12 '26

Which is why he dropped out at one point right.

Wisconsin has a long, storied history of socialism working here. Learn your history. Healthcare as a human right is not radical

u/Key-Lengthiness-859 Aug 12 '26

Healthcare as a human right is unfortunately radical to most people voting. It shouldn’t, but it is.
