    Agreed.  And, isn't that exactly the problem?  Both parties are just trying to out-crazy each other- nominating extremists within their party.  The result is this awful hyper-polarized state that the country is in.  At some point, moderates need to become electable again.

    It's nauseating that "centrist" and "compromise" have become dirty words and that honest and intelligent policy-based discourse is no longer possible. But the Dems aren't putting forth Marjorie or Herschel equivalents. I have no doubt that if the GOP continues to flirt with lizard people-believers and the woefully unprepared, Dems will need to call or even raise the bet.

    No longer a resident of NY, but hoping Zeldin pulls the upset. A lot of middle ground Dems in NYC are feeling unsafe and disgusted with what has happened to the nice areas of NYC. I think Zeldin can do it! But only if people vote. Plus it would be cool to see a “mourning room” and other services for the crybaby Dems at work like after Trump beat Hillary

    Maybe some lament but def no insurrection or conspiracy mongering

    ok im not an over the top political person was not a trump fan but his policcies were good much better then what we have now i dont get why the dems keep bringing up trump... hes not the president hasnt been for 2 yrs , I dont care what trump says or does or who supported him or who thought he was a good or bad.... I watch several news outlets and every Dem I see and here  still bitches about Trump   instead of just stating there policy and there beliefs ... If you watched the Debate between Zeldin and Holchol she did it to...Ive never seen a poltiacl group make there talking point a person thats out office trump is like there boogie man.

    That’s a ridiculous question. The end of a presidency has always meant the end of that president’s relevance. But of course, not with Trump. He continues to hold the party captive and those who would typically be unelectable continue to vie for his endorsement. This collapse to the  fridges has changed the GOP. Republican politicians fall under two broad categories - those who opposed Trump’s bs and stood up to the nonsensical election denial claims and those who kowtowed and knowingly peddled false conspiracy theories. Zeldin falls in the latter category. This should be disqualifying.

  4. Zeldin is not a level-headed, moderate Republican. He is a Trump loyalist who applauded the overturn of Roe v. Wade. He has a terrible environmental record, something that all hunters should care about. He also opposes some of the basic social rights that the overwhelming majority of Americans agree on, such as marriage equality. Your grocery bill will not change with this election. Your daughter’s ability to exercise her will over her body may.

    Contact local govt officials, go to left based sites and rationally explain/ debate your stance, maybe independent/moderate sites who could be swayed, include here steps we can take to take a stand (besides voting which I hope we all do).
    If those here are not educated to the state of affairs beyond Grouse's posts, they are not likely voting away unfortunately. The larger constituency (outside of the 50+ active members here) would be moderates. Go get them on our side. Talk to liberals about the difference between hunting implements and how the news portrays guns-I do this often as a teacher surrounded by lefties and "city-folk."
    The handful
    On here that are solid left, ain't moving right. The majority of people here support and vote right(which is right).
    The horse is sufficiently beaten here. It's also very "safe" to preach to a choir. He's "better" than that no?

    Better yet, focus on selecting electable candidates in the primaries. For instance, Buttigieg, a military officer and McKinsey capitalist, would’ve been solidly in the GOP 15 years ago. He’s a nonstarter for most on the right today. 
    But hey, it’s not just me saying it:

    You have to get over your TDS VH, seriously; he clealry as a hold over you.   I mean, the manhas been out of office now for nearly 2 years- let it go!

    You’re missing the point again. “Trump” is the ideology that gives this new Republican Party license to advance batshit crazy candidates who believe in Qanon and lack the preparation to serve. It’s what leads congressional members to advance a narrative of a stolen election while hot mics capture them admitting that they know that there was no widespread fraud of any kind. It’s what led this sick man to hunt down Nancy at her home just like the tragic capitol rioters had tried. You may not have the courage to admit it here, but even you must know that this sh@t isn’t normal.

    Of  course!! Rather than attributing this unfortunate occurrence to the actions of someone who was clearly psychotic, its gotta be Trumps fault !!  Incredibly intellectually lazy , to say the least....

    Trump and his spineless cronies are guilty of advancing crazy conspiracy theories that inevitably find purchase in the least well among us
