Does anyone really know what this guy spent? I have heard anywhere from a few hundred dollars, up to 10's of thousands. Either way not much but they are all over the place with what he spent. The one I find funny was the socialist that ran unopposed and got beat by a write in in Buffalo

Woohoo! He won! Great news for those who see democracy as a competition instead of a process!

Wut? Do you see what is supposedly 'democracy' as a process? The way these camouflaged democrats, and don't get me wrong, I'm a leftist in my own country... But the way the left has behaved lately is far from what I consider to be correct moral behaviour and it's obvious there's a whole agenda underneath of it all.

We can't talk about left and right anymore... That's too misleading. You have globalists who want to enslave humanity under the guise of spreading democracy and regular people who wish well upon others.

The left I once knew quickly turned, dare I say, fascist since the whole pandemic, and the worse thing about it is that they don't even see their own contradictions and irony in this whole ordeal.

Like... "I hate nazis" to "show me your papers", and this leftist moral highground is being highjacked for purposes far beyond anything left or right.

You have good people and bad people, and they are both in left and right parties. But left is a pretty popular moral side and, as I see it, gets abused for totally different reasons than that it should be used.

If you watch the video the amount the winner spent is declared at $6500. The loser is not exactly known but it is stated at around 1.5 million.

But it is a process.
The process starts with the average person deciding what works better for them.
It's supposed to end with what works better for everybody.

Along the line, there are a hundred million ways to corrupt the process, but one of the biggest is by throwing elections for people who get paid very well to make decisions that are supposed to represent the people who voted for them.

The monetary system we use in America has undermined education for a century, so now we have a majority of citizens who don't know their ass from their elbow, and huge population centers (voters) that wouldn't understand a full economic collapse even i when it meant they couldn't go get basic food from the local welfare getting spot.

Don't worry, it will all be over soon enough for them. We've seen socialism in action before, we know how it ends.

The rest of us just want to relax for a bit before you kill us all, so if you could just elect some sane people and go get a job for a few years, that would be great.

Great news for those who value freedom.
