Have you had enough?

Let's not lose sight.

I remember the last Democratic president here in OK- Brad Henry. He was centrist enough to win a second term.

Here in politically blood red Oklahoma, we need us some more Brad Henry!

And there is a woman that can pick up the candle knowing what needs to be done not only here, but nationwide.

You're right, Dawg. As should be known by everyone here is that I meant to write Governor.

Thanks for catching my mistake.

What was the purpose of my OP?

No comment from the right?

Now that aisle 5 is cleaned up after my inadvertent use of a noun , let's get back to shopping for the political center.

Again, have you had enough of the bullshit?

We love our state and believe it can be better. Finding common ground and getting things done is at the heart of why I launched this campaign.

Centrists win elections (or wars) and then stampede for the right. Look at Clinton or Obama. Eugene Debs who staked his political career on fighting the center was right when he said, “It’s better to vote for what you want and not get it, than to vote for what you don’t want and get it.” And his practical brand of politics helped pave the way for the formation of a communist party, the principled fight to defend and extend the Bill of Rights, the nucleus of modern draft resistance, and the rise of industrial unionism, without winning a single election for any but the most conservative members of his party. Not too shabby!

The midterms should be interesting with what likely will be a huge turnout of the young vote with abortion at the top of their lists.

“It’s better to vote for what you want and not get it, than to vote for what you don’t want and get it.”

That reminded me of the centrist Yellow Dog Democrat phrase "I'd rather vote for a yellow dog before I would for any Republican."

Well, have you had enough?

This is what needs to be said about BOTH parties and although she is a former Republican and me living in a deep red state, I will be voting for Hofmeister.

Like Hofmeister, McConaughey tells it like it is.

If you're tired of the bullshit like me, then you should read this...

After Uvalde

The 2022 elementary school shooting set Matthew McConaughey down a path, as he writes here—from his West Texas hometown to Washington, D.C., from political outsider-cynic to insider broker on gun reform—that changed him forever.

Aren't you sick a f'n tired of trying to one up each other in this political climate?

I know I am.

I'm beginning to have a little hope here in Oklahoma.

You know it's bad when a former Republican has switched to the other side of the political aisle running for Governor and a former outstanding OU football quarterback and Republican Oklahoma House Rep. for 8 years see eye to eye on what's happening to this country with fascist Trump controlling most of the Republican party.

Longtime Republican endorses Democrat in Oklahoma governor race

"I was a Republican then and I'm a Republican now," says a former Oklahoma congressman endorsing Democratic gubernatorial candidate Joy Hofmeister.

My candidate lost.

I was hoping that Hofmeister would win and be able to work together across the aisle.

Time to move on....

All is not lost.

The question had enough signatures to make yesterdays election but the holier than thou put the vote off as long as they could in what they knew would be passed.
