You are straining at gnats.

DeSantis supporters seem to have fallen into “Spinners Cliff”—happens to losing candidates as we approach caucus and primary season.

Is that any better than the top backers of our former President!? Let’s call a spade a spade here and be honest. CEO of Blackstone group destroying the country by creating a permanent renter class of citizens globally all for the sake of “creating wealth for their investors.” But hey as long as he is on our side right? Top Scientology donor Patricia Duggan? Timothy Mellon who has donated to AOC, Mittens Romney, nah that’s not swamp. Kelcy Warren who has donated to Desantis as well and George Prescott Bush?

Before casting stones upon another and then labeling them based on their donations and the groups that make up said donations we might wish to look at all sides instead of blindly and obediently following. BOTH have dirt but I’d vote for either.

Call a spade a spade and just not one side

See response also on 22. I’m a supporter of no one, no party because they are all crooks and garbage. So to label Desantis supporter isn’t accurate. I’d vote for either because they are proven fighters but won’t tear either individually down. Both have skeletons, both aren’t perfect but BOTH have been successful in their leadership and to say otherwise is pure gaslighting.

Pretty sad when you have to wear clothing with your name on it, so people know who you are.

Try asking yourself why he isn’t leading the polls in his own State? At least he’ll be able to fulfill his promise to the people that voted to re-elect him, to finish his 2nd term, once he finally withdraws from his useless race. In the meantime, he’ll take advantage of having changed the law in Florida, so he could stay in office, flit around the country, and continue to get a paycheck off the back of the taxpayers of Florida.

If/when we criticize the candidates our aim should be accurate lest we harm ourselves rather than our intended target. Not everyone in India is Hindu, just the majority of them. IIRC Nikki’s roots weren’t Hindu, but Sikh. Although she and her supporters stress her, and IIRC her family’s, conversion to Christianity. The Hindu in the race is Vivek.

Potato, pah-tah-toe. They can stay in India. After they’ve been here a couple of generations, then maybe.
