MODERATORS
I’d actually argue this is better than just running as a Dem. As a Dem its just noise. But as Rep she stands to get some exposure and getting the base there to actually have a conversation about these important issues.
The political reality in ND is that having the (D) is the end of the road for you. Since neither party actually represents a specific policy platform, I guess it's 6 of 1 in an environment like that.
After all, what are modern Republicans even about? Obviously they want to deny global warming, police uteruses, kill queer people, theocratize the government... but what policies do they actually care about that aren't equally present in the Democratic caucus?
Cruelty. You can run circles around pretty much any issue pointing out examples of their hypocrisy and inconsistency, but they're pretty reliable with harming their community.
Once you acknowledge that the cruelty is the point, their bullshit starts to make a lot more sense.
They want to deny police uteruses? 🤔
Not even metaphorically. They want to deny all uteruses. Police or otherwise lol.
