Reply to comment by wormholeweapons in Can anyone explain Ashley Marie Kalus's energy policy? by sriracha_Salad

You know and I know that if she were a democrat and a progressive and was all these things, but her opponent was a native RIer but a conservative, most here would say that none of things you say matter. In fact, these things would be a plus rather than a negative; it's why she is good--she is a breath of fresh air in the entrenched cronyism and politics as usual network of RI.

>What gets me (and why I posted the comment) is the rhetoric game and the political manipulation that campaigns use. The campaign toolbox has no political affiliation. They all use the same one. It's a tale as old as time.

You’d probably right because the conservative would also want disastrous policies that would further weaken RI. Or, the slightly more competent ones would make a policy that only works in the short term while giving a fortune in taxpayer money to their or their friends/families private businesses so they can blame democrats for the problems in the next election when it all falls apart.

We’ve woken up to this game after 20+ years of their bullshit which is why we’ll still take a milquetoast Dem over a grifting Rep every time now. We’re sick of the fucking games.
