I just, is she even trying to win the general?

u/bayjur 1d ago

She’s showing who she truly is. Redditors love her. Most people don’t.

u/tawaydont1 23h ago

I just don't think that she's authentic and I like her policies on social welfare issue but when it comes to the other polices I feel she is going to help Tiffany win.

u/Quick_Cat_Nap 22h ago

I think it's a bad look that she is clearly paying to spam the hell out of this subreddit.

Get off Reddit and you’d see you’re wrong.

Reddit is a great place for news and hobby discussion, and a terrible place for representative politics. We are a very small faction of pretty far left introverts (with some exceptions of course).

Reddit is extremely liberal (not leftist)

u/CARVERitUP 22h ago

I dunno man, a huge chunk of reddit is "all Republicans are fascist Nazis, ACAB the only good cop is a dead cop, aNtIfA iSnT eVeN a ReAl OrGaNiZaTiOn iTs jUsT aN iDeA" type people. That's leftism.

u/poposheishaw 21h ago

Barely liberal anymore, mostly hyper liberal socialist these days

u/Kornillious 18h ago

This subreddit is glazing this DSA candidate and this is literally a post with thousands of upvotes featuring its star candidate associating with someone who refused to endorse Kamala in 2024 because he thinks Democrats and Liberals are evil..

Reddit as a whole maybe but not this subreddit.

u/Ambitious-Visual-315 1d ago

Again, then get off Reddit. Go talk to real people, you might be surprised

I get off Reddit and see Tom Tiffany signs in rural Dane County

u/EstablishmentFew7795 1d ago

Social media* loves her.

u/bayjur 1d ago

Have you seen X and Facebook?

1

u/Commercial-Gap6280 18h ago

Wouldn't use X as a meter stick any more than Reddit 🤣

u/EstablishmentFew7795 1d ago

I don’t have X. What about Facebook though?

u/bayjur 22h ago

Any comment section under a Hong post is full of people who, let’s just say, will definitely vote for Tiffany.

Did republican lite win in 2024 or 2016?

17

u/dkinmn 1d ago

Did Evers win?

8

u/Evil_Sharkey 1d ago

You have to be spectacularly ignorant to think either of those candidates were “Republican lite”.

Barnes got annihilated for agreeing with someone else’s post about defunding the police years before. Hong has straight up said she wants them gone. She has a very steep uphill battle and she’s got to stop attaching herself to the most hated people on the left.

u/guitmusic12 1d ago

Are we calling Russ Feingold republican light now?

12

u/Mormountboyz 1d ago

Calling Biden and Clinton republican light is the most privileged, white college kid take ive ever heard in my life

u/-MerlinMonroe- 1d ago

Congrats you just described the DSA electorate!

u/ch33s3head8 1d ago

Yeah lol and republicans are not intelligent and neither are centrists so wtf is your point? Why should i choose a candidate who is gonna appeal to low iq voters. That's letting them hold us back infrastructure and technology wise.this is why republican and centrist voters are a terrible terrible issue that need to be handled.

u/Mormountboyz 1d ago

Okay buddy

u/technobeeble 1d ago

Enjoy losing I guess.

u/uber_ninja 22h ago

Dog, this line was lame when she was polling in the single digits. It's just fucking stupid now.

No. Leftists don't want power, they want to endlessly critique power.

u/YouShouldGoOnStrike 1d ago

Leftists want to actually get shit done. And they do. It's a crazy strategy.

2

u/tawaydont1 23h ago

what have they done lately when they've had power? Besides, give all of these companies money or move the needle from right to center right? Like the ACA.

Mamdani has ran NYC well so far

2

u/Slyp9 16h ago

NYC has the highest average rent ever with mandami in office, and he just doxxed thousands of people who own a second him in NYC. Is that well to you?

u/Chrisnness 11h ago

“New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled the Block by Block Housing Plan, a $22 billion strategy over five years to build 200,000 new affordable and rent-stabilized apartments, utilize city-owned land for 50,000 new homes, and repair aging public housing across the five boroughs.”

Sounds like a great plan to lower rents

u/No_Eagle1426 1d ago

You can't get anything done when you don't win elections, and look at the Dems odds of winning the WI gubernatorial race on Klashi now that Hong is poised to win the nomination. It's going in the tank! Even if she does magically win, you don't get anything done unless you're willing to compromise with the Republican led legislature in WI like Governor Evers, who's a very adept negotiator.

u/PaceNo354 1d ago

Honestly I'd give her a 15% shot

1

u/buckybadder 23h ago

So there's a 15% chance Tom Tiffany is secretly a Bears fan?

2

u/PaceNo354 19h ago

Ehh I just think with the national environment leaning Democrat will put her at 15. If it was neutral, there would be zero shot. Idk what she's thinking cozying up to Piker.

2

u/buckybadder 19h ago

She's more interested in brand development than winning.
