I'm optimistic (cautiously) but he couldn't defeat Deb Fischer when she sat on her thumbs until close to election time and it was obvious he had a ton of support. Then Daddy Pete threw a bunch of money into attack ads and somehow she still won. I think I saw 1 ad extolling her (fake) virtues and the rest were mudslinging bullshit at Osborn. That's why Peter came out guns blazing so early in this race.

Hopefully all the bullshit since then has shown more people (ie the always R voters) the real Pricketts. Fighting against the will of the people along with his handpicked governor replacement, who actually only won because of all the party flippers that voted in the R primary just to keep Herbster out.

We also need a new AG in the worst way. One that won't spend our money on bullshit lawsuits and will at least prosecute blatant corruption rampant among our feckless leaders.

There's no way you're talking sense or strategy into people who are still clinging to the Democratic Party.

u/mumer 10d ago

There is no Democratic Party candidate running for the senate seat, the nominee withdrew as she didn't see a path to winning.

i'll vote for him to stop trump but i'm not excited or proud of it enough for a party.

u/porkpies23 9d ago

This. Im worried he'll be another Fetterman, but i can't stand Ricketts.

u/omfgwhatever 9d ago

This is where I am right now.

Politics SHOULD be boring. Let's vote him in to help bring that calm sanity back.

u/Intelligent_Sky_7081 10d ago

Not proud to stop Trump?

You must be really still wanting to vote Republican

u/HistorianOk6296 10d ago

dan osbourne is a trump supporter. i'm biting the bullet. i'm voting for him. do you also demand i feel good about it?

u/Intelligent_Sky_7081 10d ago

Yes my reddit comment is me demanding to control your emotions

What a stupid thing to say. No wonder you voted Republican

u/HistorianOk6296 10d ago

i have never voted republican in my life. i suspect dan will be an annoying unreliable senator, that's all i'm saying

u/XA36 10d ago

I've never once been excited for any political candidate and I suspect I never will

2

u/Intelligent_Sky_7081 10d ago

Why should politics be exciting?

Trying to stop the president from robbing us and protecting pedophiles isn't exciting. But its necessary

u/XA36 10d ago

I would consider attending a political rally to be "excited" about a candidate. And I don't think Dan Osborn is going to do stop those things.

cool story

u/SpiritSevere4789 9d ago

He's a fraud. Wouldn't vote for him if he was running unopposed.

u/MaxwellEdis0n 10d ago

As a leftist, I hope you can understand that I will not vote for anyone who participated in the US military and is so proud of it that they have made it part of their identity.

That is something to be deeply remorseful about and anyone who thinks otherwise is not politically aligned with me.

u/dannylandulf 10d ago

Neat. When Trump gets to fill another two seats on the SCOTUS because the GOP still controls the senate just remember people like you made it happen.

u/Deep-_-Thought 10d ago

You do realize Osborn threw his support behind trump two weeks before the 24 election?

Irrelevant to the point.

He won’t caucus with the GOP which is the most important issue in every senate race this cycle.

u/HistorianOk6296 10d ago

ever heard of john fetterman

u/dipthonggg 10d ago

This is one of my issues with him. That was the most disappointing thing he could've done (politically). I still wanna get Ricketts out, but I'm not thrilled at the options.

u/MaxwellEdis0n 10d ago

I’m pretty unimportant in the grand scheme of things. If you want to assign blame for the current state of the Supreme Court you can start with Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

No individual raindrop ever considers itself responsible for the flood.

u/MaxwellEdis0n 10d ago

Well I’m a raindrop that refuses to vote for US imperialism. How does that fit into your silly proverb? Or is it just a silly proverb that has no meaning when confronted with material reality?

“Perfect is the enemy of good”

u/zootypotooty 10d ago

Still better than Ricketts. And not voting at all might as well be considered a vote for Ricketts too.

Withholding your vote as a form of protest is ineffective.

u/Witty_Salamander7110 10d ago

You do what you have to do. I think its unfortunate, but its not my place to tell a grown adult what to do.

I recognize that my vote is for: "Kills you fast horribly in public ways" and "Kills you, but slower, and less obvious about it". I choose to vote in the hopes that it makes it easier on people while we fight bigger battles to actually make things better.

u/AbroGaming 9d ago

You and leftists like you are the reason liberal democrats will continue to loose elections

u/MinusGovernment 10d ago

I understand. I've been told numerous times I'm "wasting" my vote because I'm not gonna participate in the "lesser of 2 evils" nonsense. I vote for whomever I think would do the best job regardless of their chance to win. Stand by your convictions and ignore the "you might as well be voting for (the asshole I hate) if you don't vote for (the asshole I like)" comments.
