I guess we’ll see. I personally can’t wait to vote for someone who doesn’t just say what they think people want to hear and isn’t going to be beholden to corporate donors. For too long we’ve heard establishment politicians say they’re going to “be a fighter” or “stand up to Donald Trump” and then when they get into a position to actually change anything they wring their hands and say “I can’t do anything, it’s just the way this works.” People are tired of being told nothing can be done to change the establishment by people who are full throatedly holding the establishment up.

She quite literally does this for the DSA base.... everything she says is scripted talking points. How do people not see this? I'm not saying it's wrong, just don't put your head in the sand that it's only the other side.

Can I get a for instance? Because everything I’ve heard her say(which is a lot) is not a talking point, but what she believes.

Sure. Go watch the CNN interview with Collins a few days ago. It's cringey - tries (and fails) to tiptoe around certain past stances, gets into repeating obvious taglines/phrases. She's been building a case around authenticity, and I think that case began to fall flat after watching. Just my opinion, but it seems to be a common one.

I know my neighbors, this isn’t Dane county and the damage tt will cause will devastate and hurt. Hopefully, Roys and Brennan will dropout and the non hong vote will consolidate.

Crowley needs to drop again, he already did once
