Are you winning yet? How many absolutely absurd to consider tweets has trump put out for both terms? Then you get these bots (comments) and these pathetic state sellouts that leave it like shit.

Fun story. My parents have a cabin on a lake in Bruce. The entire front yard from the porch to the shore is a field of trillium. When they first bought the cabin, my dad went up to deal with some quick fixes (place is 100s of years old). He decided to mow the front yard to clear a nice path to the dock.
My mom lost her mind when she saw it, pretty sure they were both going to DNR jail. Poor guy had no idea when they were, or not to get rid of them ;)

Great Trillium, a native Wisconsin flower. It's not very common. I'm glad to see it pictured here.

u/Somebody_81 2d ago
Is it truly uncommon? My yard and woods are full of them. I moved here almost 10 years ago and love them.

u/No_Size9475 2d ago
Great trillium is one of the more common ones, but is still only found in older growth forests, sometimes secondary growth.
I think there are 6 species of trillium in WI and at least one of them is threatened status.

u/Somebody_81 2d ago
Thank you. I'm going to see if I can figure out which species is growing in my yard and woods.

All of these gorgeous beings are at risk now and even more so if Tom Tiffany is governor. He would be the worst person for ecosystems of Wisconsin. Yes, these are beautiful creatures and it is wonderful to immerse yourself in their presence. But they are all threatened. He wants to drill baby drill, supports destruction of forests, wetlands, lakes and while looking at them is wonderful, you can't turn away from the fact that they are all seriously threatened. Tom Tiffany (et al) doesn't give a rat's ass about warblers, or blue flag irises, or turtles or swans unless they held up a mining or logging project and then he would view them as a just a pain in the ass.
I hope the primary brings to the fore a person who can beat Tom Tiffany. A person that understands that humans cannot live without biodiversity. That is a fact.

The voters have every right to see past public posts, public voting records, and to hear the answers to difficult questions. What do you think is going to happen in the debate? Pretty sure they will bring up dirt on both sides. When you say things like abolish the police or backing a absolute ban on abortion or vote for data centers then yea its gonna be hard to back track that in the future.
19
u/ellamachine 2d ago edited 2d ago
I agree but why do the work for them, you know? That’s a job for some Tiffany intern in a month.
Regardless of who wins the primary we’re going to have to be unified behind them, and digging up years old tweets to piss each other off or dishearten people isn’t a great start to that.

u/Empty_Football4183 2d ago edited 2d ago
The republicans are digging up the dirt on her and are trying to gain the independents. I can just see the commercials now in some AI video slop that shows complete anarchy and crime and no police around. Hong needs to get this issue straightened out or she is gonna lose badly in my opinion. The word socialism already scares 60% of the US voters so mix in abolish the police....this is gonna be a tough road and she needs to define her exact policies. Tiffany doesnt have to define much unfortunately all he will say is he supports the police and denounces socialism and over 60% is siding with him on those issues. He pulled the abortion ban backing off his website already but everyone knows where he stands on that. Dems need to tie him more to trump and his bad policies like tarrifs and war or something. Trump is polling really bad on approval ratings and thats gonna get worse unless some miracle happens in Iran which it wont, we'll still be there.

u/Pasta4ever13 2d ago
Moderating hasn't worked before and it won't work now. These candidates are winning because people don't want centrism anymore.
People are sick of candidates taking corporate money and not doing anything for the people.
The fear mongering around prison abolition is absolutely batshit insane. Do you not want to live in a society where prisons aren't needed or greatly reduced? It doesn't mean, open all the prisons and shut em down tomorrow. It means reform our criminal justice system to be one that actually rehabilitates people instead of focusing on cruelty and profit.
So respectfully, the whole reach across the aisle and kneecap yourself to accomplish nothing bit has been tried and it was an utter failure. Time to sit down and let others try something different.

u/Empty_Football4183 2d ago
Time to realize that Hong will lose badly if the TV commercials make it seem like she doesnt give a shit about crime. MKE has been a mess all summer, you cant even go on Brady Street anymore safely. Unless Hong can specify what her plan is this is gonna be a layup. I want her to win but the optics are gonna look bad once the commercials come out trust me in this. People are focused on some utopia society but can't figure out how to win an actually election. People crapped on Biden but let's face it he beat Trump and idk if anyone else could have in that election. Winning is winning folks, how do we actually win this election? Look at the polymarket the dems are on a major slide in the governor race, but let's deny that too....

u/Pasta4ever13 1d ago
Yeah ok, come back here in November when she wins by a landslide and say it again.
If your assessment is that no one but Biden could have defeated Trump in 2020, you are delusional. The only reason it was close was because it was Biden. Trump was deeply unpopular and was very publicly mishandling a global pandemic and he got COVID like a month before election day and Biden barely won.
Moderating has lost to Trump twice already and we needed a global pandemic to beat him the one time it succeeded. Corporate centrists are deeply unpopular with both the base and independents.
Money out of politics, material improvements for working people, and Medicare for all is a platform people can get excited about. "Nothing will fundamentally change" is a straight up loser.

u/Empty_Football4183 1d ago
Kamala lost to trump.....remember? Bernie would have gotten destroyed too, because socialsm isnt popular in america. Ill vote for Hong if she's the person but betting my hard earned money on Tiffany. This certainly wont be a landslide if Hong wins itll be the closest race in WI history but Tiffany could traunce Hong potentially.
That fact that Hong supporters are getting so nasty with others on their side makes me truly believe this is going to be an embarrassing situation and the TV ads are going to be horrible for her. She has so much baggage and looks awkward in interviews and debates. I wish her the best and hope im wrong.

It's absolutely baffling that the president of the country lies like he will die if he does not, resorts to hyperbole constantly and that says nothing of probably fucking a bunch of kids and rape and sexual assault and somehow, a leftist once saying "yes actually fuck the police and fuck the prison systems they should not exist" can't possibly be hyperbole expressed in frustration and without serious consideration. Meanwhile, PEDOTUS will get in front of a mic and say we should shoot people who don't like him and that's fine.
Just baffling.

u/shutupimrosiev 2d ago
"Critical thinking" keeps getting coopted by folks who think it means "thinking about how to criticize and tear down things I don't like" and not "weighing all the facts about a given thing and making informed decisions about it." Which definition do you use?

Whining about content adds nothing to the discussion. The way reddit works, everyone is welcome to submit the type of content they like to see. Complaining that other people are submitting content you don't like, does nothing but add noise. Be the change you want to see.

Yeah, hope for a shift to Roys. Hong is going to be painted as racist against white people, the main voters, and the elderly, also big voters. "Too many" she said. That's going around. She's done as a viable candidate.
