That’s not an independent voice, that’s a demonic leftist Demonrat puppet.

“””But most of all, she felt a decline in her mental well-being”””

Here is another example that being progressive is a mental disease.”

They thin themselves the most virtuous and brilliant people on earth. But when they’re confronted with differing opinions, they can’t handle it and run away and cry.

Punishment for Theft-

Liberal - give them the stuff they stole
Conservative - Jail
Moderate - Cut off their hands

More often than not, Moderate is just stupid- How do you compromise with something that is just plain wrong?

It only exists if everytng is in a “grey area”.

Yes, you have a choice. You can abstain from sexual relations or take appropriate protections.

When you chose to have unprotected sex, you chose to get pregnant. That new body is not yours.

“That’s not an independent voice, that’s a demonic leftist Demonrat puppet.”

Exactly right. And she is surprised she was ostracized? She thinks Montana is out of touch with her, not the other way around. She thinks she knows what Montana needs, not that she is there to represent her district.

What a self-centered, know-it-all brat. IOW, a perfect leftist Demonrat.

Montana’s rapidly becoming a place liberals move to so they can cosplay that they’re ranchers…

Reminds me of at least one ultraleftist candidate who ran for office locally against a Conservative Councilmember. She touted herself as having impeccable college credentials, the right race (non-White), the right gender (femanazi) and the right (Communist) ideology. She expected to be elected in a landslide in our racially mixed district. Instead, she lost, blasted our district as a bunch of ignorant racist hicks for not electing someone of her “stature”, and promptly left town.

I live here though I am not from here. I’m part of the wave of people who voted with their feet. Came here because it’s a great place to raise kids. I’ve lived all over the country and Montanas are the toughest people in the nation. I hunt and fish constantly, so it’s paradise.

Virtually every person I know who has moved here is fleeing a blue state or blue city. The Dems here are getting thrashed by people like me who are changing the demographic here.

Toughest winter in 50 years here in SW Montana, keeps the weak people put, I.e. Dems.

First off she’s a quitter - quit after only two weeks (so this is an old story):

https://www.mtpr.org/montana-news/2023-01-23/former-billings-rep-mallerie-stromswold-reflects-on-her-time-in-the-statehouse

Second, Mallerie Stromswold is from Billings and Billings is, by college standards in Montana, inexpensive to live in.

Lastly our legislature operates for three months every two years. Those serving receive a perdiem and a veeeeery low wage only for the three months. I guess she thought she could earn a living?

In other words, she was a liberal infiltrator.

As a fourth generation Montanian I beg to differ with you.

Good riddance. Being a freaking moderate, not having solid principles got us here.
