NH is a purple state. I voted for her in 2010, when I saw the legislature she supported I wouldn't vote for her again. The Republican party has completely lost its way. Republicans coddle their, right wing racism/sexism/anti-antisemitism is okay nut job base, at the expense of actual policy.

Democrats are evil, groomers, socialists, commies or whatever label will scare their base, don't elect scary democrats is the only policy.

What is their plan for healthcare, drug prices, food prices, gas prices, housing crisis, pollution and global warming?

They don't have policy only grievances and lies.

I think there is a low of truth in what you say: -

There is this nebulous thing the politicians call the 'center', but what they think is the center or moderate is completely different from what the public see as the center.

If the Rep's campaigned on Good Healthcare, housing, and crime, as well as the Economy, they would walk this election.

But no. Health care is still socialised according to them!

Ludicrous.

There hasn't been a good example of a single payer healthcare system. I have family in Canada and follow UK politics regarding NHS and as someone who has had to have non life threatening but very painful urgent care done within hours while seeing my family suffer for months for things that can and did kill them to get even the most basic diagnostics done. No thanks.

If we restricted it to things like broken bones and the most basic healthcare imaginable sure. But we always want to spend millions on saving one person and we simply can't afford that nationally for every single person walking on our dirt. Triage universal health care sure, but that's considered heartless so I just vote no universally.

People keep saying this, but Dems have only had a majority trifecta (Gov, Senate, House) for 4 years in the states entire history. If you break down the last 20 years Republicans have controlled Governor, House and Senate for 11 years to Dems 4. NHites saw how awful Dem control was from 07-10. I dont foresee Dems being a trifecta majority again in my lifetime here.

As for fed elections, most of us dont care. The shittiest politicians are bussed to DC. Most NH folks care about Concord, not DC.
