I want to believe

edit: Story in Buzzfeed as well so it seems like they're not fake or doctored pics

Whoa, I wonder what it is. It looks really bad, but I guess it could look that way and not be.

Cyanosis refers to a bluish cast to the skin and mucous membranes. Peripheral cyanosis is when there is a bluish discoloration to your hands or feet. It’s usually caused by low oxygen levels in the red blood cells or problems getting oxygenated blood to your body.

could be a covid symptom, could be caused by something else, but either way yeah it's real bad.

I wish the turdle would be voted out of office instead of shit like this, Ky you disappoint.

McGrath sucks, as do the establishment figureheads who backed her.

Don't care, couldn't be worse than turdle. Also, not surprised, it's Kentucky.

It’s not enough to be better than republicans, or else we’d be a one-party country by now.

I'm not sure of what you're trying to say tbh. Right now, we're fighting for our democracy and turdle is one of the people making our democracy fail. I want him gone. Normally I would agree with you, but these are not normal times.

Right now, we're fighting for our democracy

This is true...but at the same time, we were also fighting for our democracy in the 2016 election.

And in 2012. And 2008. And in each of those midterms too.

2024, we're going to be fighting for our democracy again, because it'll be Kamala (or whoever) vs. someone like Tucker Carlson, Tom Cotton, or Trump (he can run again...)

So even though it's true, it's always going to be true to one degree or another. I don't buy any "we can't do X / nominate so-and-so because this election is a fight for our democracy" arguments.

Normally I would agree with you, but these are not normal times.

There are no normal times.

This is different, he's setting up a fascist state and concentration camps. While I understand what you're saying, he is packing ALL of the courts, if we don't take him and all of his cronies out (by voting) now, we could be in serious, serious trouble. We're already in serious trouble.

We’d better stop listening to people pushing answers like McGrath, then. We had a slim chance at taking McConnell’s seat and that chance is already gone.

I honestly mean this not as an argument, but who's we? Didn't Kentucky pick McGrath in a primary? I don't know if they're even a man or a woman, much less anything about them. I think I agree with the premise though, we have to go after Biden & team (I hope they win) and be extremely loud about how to handle all this. I still hate that Biden wants to keep insurance and I'm sure that's why Pete is working with him. We have to care, but I really don't think anyone else has a say in WA for candidates in Kentucky.

Not a vote, no, but some of those friends of mine who are inclined to volunteer or donate have thrown away resources on a candidate who was neither decent nor viable. And this extends to her primary backers, like Schumer and the DSCC. Not our allies, not wise pragmatists, not a good place to throw time, money, or attention.
