I’d appreciate a choice meaningless or not, almost had one in my district, 4 Republicans ran but 3 dropped out. I would have carefully weighed the choices as if it mattered.
16% conservative would be swell, for a federal rat.
” Thelma Harper”
That’s really her name? LOL. I’m sure you told me about her before but I don’t remember. Why is she a rat? Just to get elected?
I forgot that’s the same name as Mama from “Mama’s Family.”
She’s been in politics for some time. I called her “The Mad Hatter” as she never goes anywhere without her Sunday Church hats (as many churchgoing Black women do). Obviously her unusually high Conservative voting % would make her a Republican elsewhere, but if any of the centrist Black TN Dems tried to run as a Republican, they’d lose badly. It also shows, once again, that it’s all about party and not ideology when it comes to Black voters in some areas.
The absurdity was demonstrated recently when 2 Senators from opposite parties were caught on audio remarking about party affiliation. The inference being that the White Republican might prefer serving as a Democrat, but could never get elected as one because he’s in a GOP district, and the Black Democrat might prefer serving as a Republican because of his centrist record, but again couldn’t get elected as one because the Black district will only vote Dem, regardless of ideology.
