I don't think this has been addressed here,

Evers defeating Michels is a huge huge deal!

This guy was a trump loving hard core fascist! He's even on record saying if he got elected no Democrat would ever win any race in the state again.

My favorite vote a couple of weeks ago was against this asshole!

... actually announce that in public.

"If I win this election for the governorship - a Democrat will never be elected in this state again."

This dude should have "I AM A FASCIST" across the forehead - and a large swastika tattooed on each cheek. So when he leaves the house to go outside,... everyone knows and is warned - this piece of shit is a fucking Nazi.

Although I grant it is not easy to find language to accurately describe him and his ilk. One is probably always going to be unfair to someone or something.

especially going down the hills.

Brownsville is the HQ for Michel’s company.

The cop can see you over half a mile away.

When in doubt, just pull over and chill for a while.

Hwy 175 is a reasonable detour.

Tony Evers will forever have my respect for defeating Scott Wanker and now defeating Michels. The political landscape in Wisconsin is pretty bleak these days but it would be much worse if Wanker had won another term or if Michels had won this year. Thank you, Governor Evers!

8. How can Wisconsin redistrict fairly?

Nov 2022

It's one of the 2 or 3 most jerrymandered states in the country. In Michigan we used ballot proposals to redistrict with a non partisan panel. IS that possible in Wisconsin?

Wisconsin is a blue state, but it's sending mostly red candidates to Washington and Madison.

Evers did a superb job during Covid (when all the RepubliQans did was obstruct him) and calmly does his job, fixing roads, improving schools, and steering the ship of state against all the R headwinds.

Michels remains a Connecticut businessman who has never held elected office. (This was his third attempt, WI Senate in 1998, US Senate in 2004, and WI Governor in 2022, LOSING every time.)

And can’t - or WON’T - get the message. There seems to be a fair amount of that syndrome circulating through the Republican mindset.

show a shooting, pic of Mandela. Show a riot with a burning building. pic of Mandela. Show a terrified old lady in her home, pic of Mandela. Then he'd end all of his ads with the pic of Mandela with his chin jutted upward, dog whistling about uppity. I watched those commercials and just new they would've loved to use the n word but couldn't. The most Blatend racist commercials I've ever seen!

...ever increasingly worse governing.

After getting elected they scoot off to beg money from their backers only to reappear for a flood of ads when re-election comes... otherwise MIA. The creeps I never see or hear about unless it's a cya situation or publicity scam. If ever I see one of these so-called "Elected" I have a pet line: "Hey why don't you make elections fair in WI so I can elect my own representation instead of you being forced on us."

article that no democrat would ever again win in the state, but I couldn't remember his name.

Serves him right (his loss) and if he's a businessman operating in the state, I hope he goes out of business, especially threatening a rival American political party long established in the state for a long time. People need to boycott him.
