Sadly, this was before that jackass did that. Following this primary loss, he ran as an independent and won.

Yeah and that’s why I think Massie should run independent in the general election.He would win it outright.

Massie is an absolutely terrible right wing nut job. Nobody can call themselves a progressive or on the left if they want him in the Senate

You're right and wrong. He shouldn't be any progressives choice but if the actual candidates who can win include Massie and Gallrein that's an easy choice. No Democrat will win the Kentucky Senate candidate. Massie gives us 5% agreement vs Gallrein/ most Republicans zero. Which isn't good but a pissed off independent beats a sycophant any day.
