How dangerous is RFK Jr to Biden?
First of all, I think it's important to note that RFK Jr. isn't going to be a threat to anybody unless he gets ballot access in November. I believe he's officially gained ballot access in one state so far and looks to have met the requirements in about eight or nine others. I don't know the exact number today, but that seems to leave at least 40 states that he still has to work to gain access to.
Now, if he works out a deal with the Libertarian Party for their nomination, it would get him very close to getting on the ballot in every state. If he -- and the Libertarian Party -- are smart, they'll figure out a way to work together in order to achieve that. Otherwise there is just no way that he'll make the kind of splash that the media is suggesting. Sure, if he only gets on the ballot in a handful of states that happen to be battleground states, he can certainly play the part of spoiler. But he can't do that as a write-in candidate in states where he isn't officially on the ballot.
But, honestly, I think RFK Jr. would draw more voters away from Trump than Biden. Yes, RFK Jr. was a lifelong Democrat before making this bid for the Presidency as an independent, but his anti-vaccine, conspiracy-fueled worldview is much more aligned with Trump's voters and the MAGA cult. I think it's possible that more people would be willing to vote for RFK Jr. because they see him as a less dangerous, (somewhat) less insane version of Trump than traditional Democratic voters who would be willing to vote for Kennedy because President Biden is old. I believe it would hurt Trump more than it would hurt Biden.
The most important thing to watch for is ballot access, though. If RFK Jr. can't get on the ballot in the majority of the states he's going to be a non-factor. It is not easy to get nationwide ballot access without the support of an established party's nomination -- like the Libertarians -- and it's already almost April. Announcing his running mate this early was a necessity if he's going to run as a true independent because some states require the identity of the ticket in order to get on the ballot in the general election. But unless they partner with the Libertarians, RFK Jr. is going to need to race against the clock to meet the requirements -- which are often different from state-to-state -- for ballot access in as many states as possible.

idk I don't really understand the stance of "I'm tired of voting for the lesser of two evils, so I'm just not going to vote." would you rather have the greater of two evils, then? we're not voting for the lesser evil because we just love evil so dang much, it's because between a lesser evil and a greater evil, there is a significant difference. and we only get one of the two. there is no third option.

When the race actually heats up next year* and you can show me a legitimate, viable third party pro-palestine candidate with the genuine potential of drawing not just the leftists but also the centrists away from the democratic voting pool in order to stand up against the historically united republican party
Then absolutely YES i WILL show you my commie ass voting against Genocide Joe
But UNTIL then
I see absolutely no moral high ground in helping to put the Genocide+: Premium Edition! candidate back in office
Trump is going to be worse, y’all realize that, right?
He is going to be worse for, literally, everyone who is not a Gun-Toting Flag-Humping Straight White Fascist American Male.
And that’s just talking AMERICANS, before we even get into his international policies. You think this man is going to be better for Palestine? For Sudan? For any of america’s greedy little interests all of the globe?
I don’t WANT Biden. I am literally begging, please, fucking ANYONE better. I want OUT of this bullshit two party system. I want the ENTIRE fucked up american election system dismantled and rebuilt from the ground up
But until we can actually do that I genuinely don’t understand how Trying To Keep The Largest Amount Of People Safe As Possible is seen as… the selfish decision. That boggles my mind. What point is there to inflicting more suffering on the people of this shit-show country? Who does that help? Who does that serve?
What is the actual alternative?
GENUINELY if somebody’s got a PLAN for the presidential election chime in because honest to god i haven’t fucking seen a single one yet just a lot of “No Joe! No Joe!”
Show us the actual fucking independent alternative with the pull to draw a majority. Cuz right now all the other dems up for primary are fucking yahoos.
Or, you know, actually kick off some shit and tear it all down.
Until then the damage mitigation needs to focus on getting the centrist dems OUT of congress and leftist or progressive independents IN
And none of that will mean SHIT if we get another Repub wave in blocking fucking everything like the LAST time Trump was president and all his MAGA cronies got brave.

Trump adds RFK Jr. and Gabbard to transition team | World News
Donald Trump has added former White House hopefuls Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard to his transition team if he wins November’s US presidential election, his campaign said on Tuesday. Kennedy and Gabbard hail from outside the Republican party sphere where former President Trump draws most of his support. “As President Trump’s broad coalition of supporters and endorsers expands across…

What do you think about RFK Jr possibly making Aaron Rodgers his VP?
It just amazes me that RFK Jr. thinks that his best options for running mates are two of the only public figures in America who might be considered even more goofy conspiracy theorists than he is -- Aaron Rodgers and Jesse Ventura.
Aaron Rodgers is so thin-skinned and whiny that he can't even do Pat McAfee's podcast regularly without bitching about what somebody said about him. Imagine someone like that running for office? Oh wait...we've been dealing with that since 2015 and this country actually elected that guy President in 2016.
I don't think Rodgers will be the choice. If he was, he'd basically have to quit the NFL and I think he still wants to play. He's 40 years old and missed all of last season with an injury, so he couldn't take another season off just to lose a race as running mate to a fellow conspiracy theorist on a third-party ticket.
If I had to bet, I think RFK Jr. is just trying to throw people off the scent and he's going to pick Tulsi Gabbard. Honestly, Ventura would probably be his best bet -- he's a former Governor who is almost certainly the most successful third-party candidate in American history. And Ventura would be much better on the campaign trail than Rodgers or Gabbard (or RFK Jr., really). But any of those tickets might as well call themselves the Wack Pack party.
Has anybody mentioned yet that this 2024 election cycle is going to be a fucking drag? Calling this country's political scene a "shitshow" is unfair to both shit and shows. Whomever this third-party ticket's nominees are should show up at their campaign rallies in a clown car.

How to Embrace Diversity in Political Campaigns: Insights from Governor Whitmer
Tumblr media
Governor Whitmer Sparks Controversy with Endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In a surprising turn of events, Governor Whitmer has stirred up a heated debate with her recent endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The controversial figure, known for his outspoken views on vaccination and public health policies, has long been a polarizing figure in the political arena. Governor Whitmer's public support of Kennedy has raised eyebrows and sparked a fierce debate among Michigan residents and political analysts alike. Critics of the endorsement argue that Kennedy's anti-vaccination stance and skepticism towards mainstream medical practices make him an unfit candidate for public endorsement. They point to his history of spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories related to vaccines as a cause for concern. Many are questioning Governor Whitmer's judgment in aligning herself with such a divisive figure, especially in the midst of a global health crisis. Supporters of the endorsement, however, commend Governor Whitmer for her willingness to stand by her convictions and support individuals who challenge the status quo. They argue that Kennedy's advocacy for vaccine safety and transparency in public health policies is a noble cause that deserves recognition and support. They see Governor Whitmer's endorsement as a bold statement in support of free speech and open debate on important public health issues. As the debate rages on, it remains to be seen how Governor Whitmer's endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will impact her political standing and influence in Michigan. With the 2022 gubernatorial election on the horizon, this controversial move may prove to be a defining moment in Governor Whitmer's political career.
Kennedy Family Members Snub RFK Jr. with Powerful Endorsement of Joe Biden: 'A Vote to Save Our Democracy' In a surprising turn of events, several members of the Kennedy family have publicly endorsed Joe Biden for president, dealing a significant blow to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s political aspirations. The Kennedy clan, known for their influence in American politics, made their stance clear in a joint statement, calling their support for Biden a "vote to save our democracy." The endorsement comes as a stark contrast to RFK Jr.'s controversial views and actions, which have often sparked public outrage and division. While the Kennedys have a long history of political involvement and activism, their decision to align with Biden underscores their belief in his ability to lead the country in a time of unprecedented challenges. In their statement, the Kennedy family members highlighted Biden's experience, integrity, and commitment to unity as reasons for their endorsement. They emphasized the urgency of the upcoming election and the need for a leader who can bring people together and steer the nation towards a brighter future. The endorsement is seen as a significant setback for RFK Jr., who has faced criticism for his anti-vaccination stance and promotion of conspiracy theories. Despite his familial ties to the Kennedy legacy, RFK Jr. has failed to garner the same level of support and trust from his relatives, further isolating him from mainstream political circles. As the presidential race heats up, the Kennedy family's endorsement of Joe Biden adds another layer of complexity to an already tumultuous election season. With their powerful statement, they send a clear message to the American public: now is the time to unite, to stand up for democracy, and to vote for a better future for all.
Kerry Kennedy Endorses Biden as the Candidate Upholding RFK's Legacy Kerry Kennedy, the younger sister of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is set to make a powerful statement in support of Joe Biden at an upcoming event in Philadelphia. Scheduled for Thursday, April 18, Kennedy is expected to passionately convey that Biden is the one candidate who truly embodies the values and principles of their late father, Robert F. Kennedy. With her endorsement, Kerry seeks to highlight Biden's commitment to social justice, equality, and compassion—the very same ideals that her iconic father championed throughout his life. Stay tuned for Kerry Kennedy's inspiring remarks as she rallies behind Biden's campaign, carrying forward the torch of the Kennedy legacy.
Kennedy Family Unites to Endorse Biden, Dealing Blow to RFK Jr.'s Independent Campaign In a surprising turn of events, members of the Kennedy family have come together to formally endorse Joe Biden for the upcoming presidential election. While many Kennedys have previously expressed their support for Biden, their united front in endorsing him as a family unit is seen as a significant blow to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent presidential campaign. The decision has sent shockwaves through the Democratic party, as RFK Jr.'s campaign had been gaining momentum and causing unease among party members in what is already shaping up to be a closely contested election year. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

I was a student at UC Berkeley during the 2000 presidential election. The propaganda at that time was that Al Gore and George W. Bush were exactly the same candidate wearing different ties. There was no difference between them, so you should vote for Ralph Nader.
In 2016 the propaganda was Bernie Bros—and going both ways ("Hillary is an establishment candidate! You're not a real liberal if you don't vote for Bernie!" and also "Bernie will never win! If you EVER supported Bernie you're not a real liberal!").
This time the propaganda was Gaza. "How can you vote for a candidate that is a part of an administration responsible for GENOCIDE?!"
The thing with propaganda is it's always true—kind of. You can go right down the list and see the truth in all of these things:
Both Al Gore and George W. Bush were establishment candidates. Al Gore was the sitting vice president and a career politician and George W. Bush was the son of former president and vice president George Bush, who himself was vice president to Ronald Reagan.
HIllary Clinton was an establishment politican, the wife of a former president, and the sitting secretary of state. Bernie Sanders didn't have the party support to become the Democratic Party candidate on account of his history of independence.
Biden and Harris were in office during the Hamas attack on October 7th, 2023, and the US government has offered continued support to Israel in its couteroffensive.
Those things are true. But the true things were being used to distract the distractible from other arguably more important true things, e.g. that Al Gore's actual policies were more liberal than George W. Bush's; Hillary Clinton's policies were more liberal than Donald Trump's; and a Kamala Harris-led government was going to be better for Palestine than a Donald Trump-led government.
The goal with the propaganda each time was exaclty the same. It wasn't to get votes for a third party candidate or change policy or help Gaza.
The goal was to get liberals not to vote.
And it worked. Every time.
It'll work again, too, if we don't teach voters how to recognize this. It's pretty obvious though. If it's near an election and it's a wedge issue between liberal voters and ultra-liberal voters, that's the propaganda.
And it is 100% active and alive here on Tumblr.

Watch - RFK Jr VP announcement today
March 26, 2024 Today is an extremely exciting day. Our favorite candidate, Robert F Kennedy Jr, is going to announce his pick for Vice President. This has been a long wait, with the media crazily speculating on plenty of possibilities that we have all laughed at: Aaron Rodgers, Jessie Ventura, Big Bird… Ok they didn’t say the last one, but the mainstream media’s lack of knowledge of this…

I received a call from the office of the California Secretary of State on Friday while I was still in China. I didn’t feel safe sharing this update until I was stateside because I had been harassed for by law enforcement for being American in the privacy of my hotel room while on holiday with family.
I was informed that even though the county I filed my POTUS write-in application in for the primaries accepted and stamped it with their approval… they were mistaken in doing so and that I would not be certified as an Independent in this election because I am choosing not to be affiliated with a party that currently has ballot access in the state.
I was informed that I can however run in the November general election as an Independent write-in candidate in the state of California if I meet certain criteria (which I was aware of before and am working toward).
I am looking for 54 registered (or who are qualified and willing to be registered) California voters, who would like to be my helpers because I believe together we can make a great positive impact on our state, country, and world.
We have the opportunity of making history together if you would be willing to be my volunteers, electors, and signature collectors between April and August.
Please reach out to me as soon as possible if you’re interested in supporting the dark horse in the 2024 Presidential Election and I will fill you in on all the official details so we can prepare to be successful in signature and vote collecting in the state of Californa for the November election.
If you have friends in California that you think would be interested in breaking up the duopoly and living in a more loving, logical, and liberty-oriented country… please send them my way way too.
I am also open to doing interviews to plant more seeds, because ultimately this isn’t about me winning… but about America winning and I believe she’s and her citizens are worth it.
Love, Logic, and Liberty,
Sorinne - Healer in Chief

Senate Elections 2024!
At the Start of the year I made a post about the US Senate elections this year. However a lot has changed since then (not just that) So I thought I'd make a new version.
Tumblr media
How successful a President Kamala Harris is able to be will come down to who controls congress. A Republican House or Senate could frustrate many of the important agenda items Harris wants to get done. Also the Senate is key to appointing Judges, right now many America's rights are being decided in the courts where Trump and Republican appointed Judges are consistently ruling against trans rights, voting rights, abortion rights etc. Any hope of a smooth pipe line of Harris judges depends on the Senate. Senate Control hangs by a knife's edge, there are 6 soft blue seats we have to hold onto, two swing seats Dems are defending, and two soft red seats we can pick up, you can make all the difference!
If you don't live in one of the states below but want to help, you can Donate to the DSCC or sign up to phone bank with the Democrats
Arizona
Ruben Gallego (Hold)
Tumblr media
Winning Arizona will be key to the outcome of the 2024 Presidential election. Congressman Ruben Gallego was a leader in the effort to replace Democrat turned Independent Senator Sinema with a real Democrat. Gallego was raised by a single mother, went to Harvard, and is a Marine combat vet. First elected to the Arizona State House in 2010 he advocated for immigrant rights. He was elected to Congress in 2014. Since coming to Congress Gallego has been a progressive voice, gaining attention for blunt attacks on the Trump administration. Republicans nominated around former TV host and conspiracy theorist Kari Lake. Lake rose to become a Republican star by supporting conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and Covid. Lake ran for Arizona Governor in 2022 and after losing to Democrat Katie Hobbs she refused to concede and still maintains she won and is the rightful Governor of Arizona. Lake has called Democrats "Demonic", totally opposes abortion in all cases, and is the self proclaimed "Trump candidate". If Gallego is elected not only will he be a reliable Democratic vote and Progressive vote in the Senate, he'd be the first Hispanic to represent Arizona in the Senate, ever. If you live in Arizona please make sure you vote, but more if you have any time between now and November, volunteer to help Gallego! and if you don't live there you can still give.
VOTE VOLUNTEER DONATE SHOP
Florida
Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (Flip)
Tumblr media
Florida's current Republican senator, Rick Scott, has spent his first term in Congress being one of the most extreme Republicans. Scott has pushed to defund education, roll back Social Security and Medicare, attacked trans rights, and wants to ban Abortion in all cases. Rick Scott is the wealthiest member of Congress and also was in involved in the largest case of Medicare fraud in US history. Scott challenged Mitch McConnell for the leadership of the Senate GOP getting support from extremists like Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and JD Vance, and now is running to replace McConnell. Scott won in 2018 with less than 10,000 votes. The Democrat is former Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. When she was elected to Congress in 2018 she became the first South American born immigrant and first person of Ecuadorian heritage to be elected to Congress. In Congress Mucarsel-Powell was a member of the Progressive caucus, she fought to expand medicare, and secured $200 million for Everglades restoration. After a narrow defeat in 2020 Mucarsel-Powell joined the gun control advocacy group Giffords to fight for gun control a personal issue for her. If you're in Florida please make sure you vote, and volunteer to help remove one of the most extreme Senators. Everyone else give what you can.
VOTE VOLUNTEER DONATE
Maryland
Angela Alsobrooks (Hold)
Tumblr media
Maryland is normally an easy Democratic win but two-term Republican former Governor Larry Hogan announced he was running, turning what should be an easy race for Democrats into a real fight. Hogan is trying to sell himself as a Trump septic moderate, but he's endorsed by Trump, JD Vance, and Mitch McConnell. Hogan spent his final year as Governor frustrating Democratic efforts to protect abortion, legalize marijuana, and take serious action on climate change. In the Senate he'll be a vote in the pocket of Republican leadership. The Democrat is Angela Alsobrooks, the executive of Prince George's County. As County Executive Alsobrooks got high marks for her response to Covid. She's worked to expand pre-K to all students in the county, as well expanding health care access including mental health access. As a candidate for Senate Alsobrooks has been a strong supporter of Abortion rights, pushing for more action on gun violence, and has been a strong supporter of LGBT rights her whole political life. After Vice-President Harris left the Senate there were no black women represented in the upper house. Together with Delaware's Lisa Blunt Rochester Alsobrooks could make history, if both are elected this year it'll be the first time ever that two black women have served at the same time in the US Senate. If you're in Maryland make sure to get out to vote, to volunteer as much as you're able, and everyone give whatever you can to protect abortion rights and support progressive black women!
VOTE VOLUNTEER DONATE SHOP
Michigan
Elissa Slotkin (Hold)
Tumblr media
Michigan is a critical 2024 swing state. Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin is running to replace retiring Senator Debbie Stabenow. Slotkin worked for the CIA, the State Department, and the Department of Defense rising to be an Assistant Secretary of Defense under President Obama. She is fluent in Arabic and Swahili. First elected to Congress in 2018 Slotkin won and has been re-elected repeatedly to represent a swing district, becoming the first Democrat elected there since 1998. In Congress Slotkin has supported gun control, and ending money in politics. Her national security experience made her an important voice pushing for the first impeachment of Trump in 2019. She gained national attention for holding open town halls on her choice to vote to impeach Trump facing down Republican protesters. In her run for Senate Slotkin has continued to stress her support for gun legislation, ending money in politics and stresses protecting the right to choose. Republicans have consolidated around former Congressman Mike Rogers. Rogers retired to Florida after his time in the House only moving back last year to run for Senate. During his time in Congress Rogers tried twice to ban the abortion pill mifepristone. Rogers is endorsed by Trump and controversial former Detroit Police Chief James Craig. If you're in Michigan vote to protect the right to choose and stop a Trump Republican, and make sure to volunteer as much as you can, and every give what you can to help win this key swing state.
VOTE VOLUNTEER DONATE SHOP
Montana
Jon Tester (Re-elect)
Tumblr media
Normally deep red Montana represents one of the hardest Senate seats for Democrats to hang onto. Jon Tester is the only Democrat to hold statewide office or represent Montana in Congress. Elected narrowly in 2006 Tester has beaten the odds time and time again and is trying again. In his time in the Senate Tester has been a consistent voice for small farmers and local businesses against big corporations and mega companies. Tester has fought against corruption and for openness, and is one of the most effective members of Congress consistently having the most bills past into law of any member of Congress. Republicans have embraced an ultra wealthy former CEO, Tim Sheehy as their nominee to unseat Tester. Sheehy was caught lying about being shot in Afghanistan as a Navy SEAL, when he in fact accidentally shot himself at Glacier National Park in Montana. Past his embarrassing war wound story, Sheehy is an ultra rich CEO who has spent 2 million of his own money on the race so far. Sheehy has been endorsed by Trump, and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Sheehy wants to ban all abortion, repeal Obamacare, and remove any limits on gun ownership, despite having shot himself. If you can only donate to two races, this and Ohio are the most important, if you can only donate to one? flip a coin. Everyone in Montana make sure you get out to vote and just as important volunteer, there will be no Presidential or Governor or any other campaign to help Tester along its all on him, and everyone give what you can.

Nevada
Jacky Rosen (Re-elect)
Tumblr media
Nevada is a critical swing state in the 2024 election. Jacky Rosen first came to Congress flipping a Red House seat in 2016 and then unseating a Republican Senator in 2018. Since coming to Congress Rosen has been a champion for turning Nevada into a clean energy leader. She's also has helped pass gun control legislation and is a fierce advocate the right to choose. Republicans have nominated Army veteran and conservative influencer Sam Brown to run against Rosen. Brown unsuccessfully ran in a Republican primary for the Texas State House in 2014, and for the Republican nomination for US Senate in Nevada in 2022. Now with the endorsement of Donald Trump Brown finally managed to win a primary. Sam Brown is the only Republican candidate Trump mentioned in his 92 minute convention speech at the RNC. Brown wants to roll back Nevada's Green energy progress and boost fossil fuels, he also wants to roll back any and all restrictions on guns. If you're in Nevada make sure to get out and vote, and volunteer to keep this key Senate seat out of the hands of a Trump Republican. Everyone else give what you can.
VOTE VOLUNTEER DONATE SHOP
Ohio
Sherrod Brown (Re-elect)
Tumblr media
Ohio is one of the hardest senate seats for Democrats to defend this year. Senator Sherrod Brown has been the only statewide elected Democrat in Ohio since 2011. First elected to Congress in 1992 and to the Senate in 2006 Brown has defied the odds by being a popular Progressive in an ever more Red state. Brown consistently ranks along side Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren as one of the most left wing Senators. From his first days in Congress Brown refused the Congressional health plan, repeatedly introducing single payer health care bills going back to the 1990s. Brown has been a proud and consistent ally of Unions, particularly the UAW, and tough on banks and big business. Republicans have nominated used car salesman and crypto enthusiast Bernie Moreno. Moreno is a weirdo, he accused LGBT activists of a "radical agenda of indoctrination" and then got caught looking for "men for 1-on-1 sex" on AdultFriendFinder. Moreno supports a federal abortion ban, has been sued by former employees for wage thief and discrimination, and wants to end birth right citizenship. Moreno has been endorsed by Turning Point USA, Donald Trump Jr., Vivek Ramaswamy, Kari Lake, Ted Cruz, JD Vance, and of course Donald Trump. If you're in Ohio make sure you get out to vote, and volunteer to support a great Senator. Everyone outside of Ohio give what you can, if you can only donate to two campaigns this and Montana need it the most, if you can only give to one, flip a coin.

Pennsylvania
Bob Casey (Re-elect)
Tumblr media
Pennsylvania is a key swing state in the 2024 Presidential election. Bob Casey was first elected to the Senate in 2006 defeating right wing extremist Rick Santorum by the largest margin in state history. Starting his career as a moderate to conservative Democrat Casey has become a strong advocate for gun control since 2012 voting for every gun control measure to reach the Senate. Casey also made strong opposition to the Trump administration a cornerstone of time in office. While personally pro-life, Casey has endorsed the right to choose and voted codify abortion rights. Casey has been a leading critic of corporate greed during the inflation and authored a bill to ban shrinkflation. Republicans have nominated multi-millionaire former CEO and Bush administration official David McCormick. McCormick served in the Treasury under George W. Bush, his wife worked at the NSC under Trump. He lived in Westport, Connecticut as the CEO of an investment management firm, till he decided he wanted to be a US Senator in 2022 and he moved to Pennsylvania. He lost the 2022 GOP primary to Dr. Oz and is giving another go in 2024. McCormick is endorsed by George W. Bush, Mitch McConnell, Rick Santorum, Karl Rove, Doug Mastriano, Jim Jordan, and of course Donald Trump. If you're in Pennsylvania make sure you get out to vote, and to volunteer to keep Pennsylvania blue. Everyone else give what you can.

Texas
Colin Allred (Flip)
Tumblr media
Texas Senator Ted Cruz might be the most hated man in politics. Since his election in 2012 Cruz has been on a single minded mission to be totally unlikeable. Shutting down the government under President Obama, endorsing Trump after Trump insulted his wife, supporting Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, fleeing his state to go on vacation in Mexico after an ice storm and power outage (and abandoning his dog), blaming the Uvalde school shooting on video games, yes Ted Cruz really has done it all. Cruz is one of the most right wing members of the Senate and a loud Trump supporter. Last election in 2018 Cruz barely hung onto his seat and Democrats are hoping with 6 more years of radicalism Texans are ready for change. Democrats have nominated Congressman Colin Allred. Allred is a former professional footballer, played Linebacker for the Tennessee Titans. After football Allred went to law school, and got a job with the Obama Administration. In 2018 he won an upset victory unseating an 11 term Republican in a district that had been Republican since 1968. In Congress Allred fought for gun reform, to keep down the price of proscription drugs, and invest in American infrastructure. In his run for Senate he's standing up for the right to choose against one of the most radically anti-abortion Republicans in the country. If you're in Texas make sure you vote and volunteer to give Ted Cruz the boot, and everyone give what you can to get Blue Texas.

Wisconsin
Tammy Baldwin (Re-elect)

Wisconsin is a critical swing state in the 2024 Presidential election. Senator Tammy Baldwin is a historic trailblazer, when she was first elected to Congress in 1998 she was the first woman to ever represent Wisconsin in Congress, the first open Lesbian elected to Congress, and the first openly gay non-incumbent to be elected to Congress. She co-founded the Congressional LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus. When she was elected to the US Senate in 2012 she was the first and is still the only openly gay person ever elected to the Senate. Past her advocacy for LGBT rights Baldwin has been a progressive her whole time in Congress endorsing single-payer health care, and being a strong voice for abortion rights. Republicans are supporting a California bank owner and weirdo named Eric Hovde. Strange mustache owner Hovde has attacked trans kids, flip flopped on abortion (totally against, now open to some abortion), and insulted farmers as "not hardworking" and thats why the retirement age should be 72. If you're in Wisconsin make sure to vote and volunteer to protect a progressive trailblazer and stop a California weirdo banker. Everyone else give what you can.
