    He fired a staffer for being pregnant, was appointed as Texas secretary of state by total shitstain Rick Perry, and recently described himself as a “conservative democrat”, wants abortion to be illegal, and his house was searched by the FBI last year for taking bribes from Azerbaijan…

    And the party supported him in a recent primary, ostensibly because he was the incumbent, but really because his opponent was progressive and the party preferred this guy.

      Moderate politics always reminds me of a basketball game where half of the players on one team bet they’d win, but not cover the spread

      So they end up still trying to beat the other team, but also sabotaging their own team so they don’t win by too much and lose their bet.

      Then when they end up losing, they blame the half of their teammates who were just trying to win.
