I’m disappointed in this pick. Nothing against Giles - he might be a rare Republican you can work with in a bipartisan manner, but it seems she could have found an actual Democrat who would have been able to appeal to different factions within the party.

Ответ для mikey1020

Hobbs isn’t even a bad Democrat. She’s been good on trans rights, and on data centers… But like, you just do not see high profile Republicans do this bipartisan shit.

Ответ для Walker Bragman

Democrats do tend to be more inclusive than Republicans

Ответ для Mike 🚀🌕

To their detriment.

Ответ для Walker Bragman

Except when they win. Both Obama and Biden carried many Republican voters. The next Democratic President will too.

Hey as bad as establishment dems are, at least they never endorsed Trump.

Oh Katie no

Reminded of an old David Rakoff story where he spoke of a person with giant teeth that made it look like they were saying 'CRUNCHY' whenever they smiled.

Are you clueless, @governorkatiehobbs.bsky.social ? Dumb move! Very dumb move! smh

Surely there's at least one other Democrat in Arizona that she could pick.

Class solidarity in action (derogatory)

can't stand it. "we have to work with our colleagues" you mean you want to sympathize with fascists? The party that is openly corrupt?

Omfug. Truly unbelievable, a new low even for them.

Part of a trend. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

"God I can't imagine why making friends with fascists has made me unpopular with the left wing of my own party!"

Well to be fair one of his cabinet picks was Ray Lahood. Who was literally the person most responsible for the vast expansion of bike infrastructure and transit projects on the US. He has as a good pick

Ответ для Walker Bragman

You trying to toss away the slim reed of goodwill you’ve built over the past decade by being a mendacious asshole again?

Ответ для Walker Bragman

Um excuse me but that's racist and sexist because a bunch of idpol bots said so

Ответ для Walker Bragman

We missed out on Secretary of State Cheney.

Ответ для Liam

Because having Cheney in her campaign worked out so well for Kamala.🙄

Uh ha, I call it the Adlai Stevenson trend.

Having one opposition pick was a norm for a long time.

Ответ для Mary Joy

Trump wouldn't appoint a democrat if every Republican was unavailable.

Ответ для Walker Bragman

Because Trump was going to appoint a Democrat and reach across the aisle.🙄

Ответ для Walker Bragman

Screw that, I want someone so progressive this would be unthinkable.

Jesus Christ, fuck these people.

I've never seen a Republican do the same.

Why? She’s been good at vetoing anti-trans legislation. Why this? Probably going to throw trans 🏳️‍⚧️ people under the bus. It’s the democrat establishment main platform.

Is the Republican candidate going to have a Democrat running mate?

Maybe she wants to win in a red state.

Ответ для Vicki Meagher, Writer

Well if she wants to pal around with neo Nazis she should just join their party

They have chosen Wealthfare safety over our lives. Fuck them.

I had to look at her Wikipedia to confirm that she wasn't one of those R turned D politicians. *long sigh*

Lincoln did this and he won! But…

Ответ для 🔱Maltose Zaddy🍻

Because nothing has changed in 160 years.

Do everyone a favor and shut the fuck up.

What is with Arizona tho? Did the gov not see what happened to Sinema??

Ответ для Brandon M

they have the same vibe tho

Ответ для Catherine 🌷

I put Kelly in the same flawed boat.

jfc Dems, you don't need to do this, not even in Arizona.

I live in Arizona. Thanks for proving once again that you are one of the biggest dumb fucks on the face of the planet. Maybe actually look up the person she's talking about before you run your stupid mouth. Maybe try not to be any dumber than you can help.

Ответ для Stabby Spice

I remember John Giles at the 2024 DNC; seemed like a good guy. I have a very welcoming space for former Republicans who have seen the Light, my question is does he still identify as a Republican, and if so, why? I'm challenged trusting anyone who hasn't forcefully repudiated a party of liars.

Ответ для spiritualnb

You do you, I guess. He campaigned for Harris and Mark Kelly enthusiastically and was censured by his own party for it. Katie Hobbs won in part because of independence and Republicans who crossed over. This is an excellent move in Arizona.

Ответ для Stabby Spice

*Independents

Sometimes I get really frustrated with America and wonder how the Democratic Party can be at 29% while Trump is pillaging the economy. Fortunately it usually only takes a few minutes before a centrist does something like this and then I'm brought back to reality

Indeed.

yup

Giles endorsed both Kamala Harris and mark Kelly. And was censured by the Republican party for doing so. He seems perfectly fine. Stop trying to create fake drama.

Ответ для nvrvwls

Go lick republican boot.

Because people like you make bad faith posts encouraging them to do so?

Voting for do-nothings is no different than choosing Marlboro Lights instead of Reds.

This is why as a Disabled, Queer, Appalachian I have more respect for the Republican Party than the duplicitous Democratic Party that only pretends to care

Ответ для themischiefprince

That makes literally no sense at all

Basically affirming that Republicans, in any context, are a good choice which SHOULD be the last message you want to send

Ответ для Steely Jeff

Why are you defending fucking Democrats embracing fucking goddamn neo Nazis?

They NEVER learn! WTH!!! Why are they so gullible and stupid?

oh for god's sake.......why would she

Ответ для Tessa 🌹{⚜️🏇}

Because she's a corporate stooge neoliberal?

WTF

I guess the socialism will continue until morale improves

As an Independent in AZ, this is the 1st I've heard of this 🤦 I'm not a Hobbs fan and the alternative is pure evil but this newest info makes absolutely no sense.

Ответ для Laura McDalton

How come you're not a Hobbs fan?
