Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I'm convinced that at this point, people are just voting on familiarity

Absolutely. R's count on this.

In my state, they've tried running the weatherman for Senate. Not dog catcher or school board, SENATE. NATIONAL, not state.

There's a reason Dr. Oz and Herschel Walker were both running in 2022.

The reds here in Arizona have run ex-news-reader Kari Lake 3 times and lost all 3.

........let her keep running then. Seems like an easy win. Even if she wins her 4th run, it was still a net positive for the democrats. She lost 3 times, and won 1 time. That's a +2 for democrats.

Alright. I'm going to run for office. But quick, I'm going to change my name to Tom Batman Hanks.

Seems to be how Trump is assembling his cabinet, too.
