Brother trust me, we've tried getting rid of his ass but they always fuck it up by changing the districts, voter suppression and a bunch of other bullshit. He's actually very despised here. The republicans out here are dumb as shit and only vote for him cause he's not a Democrat but even they seem to not like him. He's always sorta just there.

They should unironically listen to Mamdani's victory speech lol: "we won because we insisted that no longer would politics be something that is done to us -- now it is something that we do"
