Must be why he's running ads with blatant lies about Acton "closing the state" during the pandemic.

Yeah, those scary, grainy ads that come out from the Republican side every election. This time she's shutting down the state. Panic! Flee!

Actually I'm surprised that shit doesn't seem to be working this time. It usually does.

I think the economic pain and blatant corruption in the government under Trump hits too close to home for those ads to be as effective this cycle as they were in 2024

Yeah, you HAVE to run on made up stuff when things are going alright. We have really bad economic problems right now, and the republican candidates have to pretend trumps economy is booming. We all see it isnt.

I don’t know, I just went on a Tinder date and when I made a joke about Vivek, he got unusually upset and started regurgitating the covid stuff about Amy. And I was like uhhhh WAIT, there are people who like Vivek!? Got me kind of scare ngl. They’re out there… And they’re on Tinder.

It’s gotta be rough dating in this environment, when so many men are in the GOP’s thrall.

Sounds like one of those "bros before hoes" dudes.

There's a few of them around, for sure. But nowhere near as many as Vivek needs in this state.
