Hey, its election season

[wildchild]

The democrats must be offering people free stuff and calling anyone who disagrees with them a racist.

"It's disgusting that Ron DeSantis is launching his general election campaign with racist dog whistles," Rizzo said in a statement.


Yeap, its election season.

Republicans today are the reincarnation of the Dixiecrats.

I live in Oklahoma. The issue isn't as clear cut as your article promotes.

Oklahoma also selected Kevin Stitt as their republican candidate in the gubernatorial runoff. He said he wouldn't have signed the $474 million tax increases to fund the teacher pay raises this past year.

Oklahomans were pretty split last year during the teacher strike. The state's government came up with nearly half a billion dollars in tax increases prior to the strike to increase wages. The OEA decided that wasn't good enough and went on strike anyways. Two weeks into the strike, they realized they weren't going to get anything else and they called the strike off. Both sides were upset and there was even talk of replacing the head of the OEA.

I'm not sure if the pro-education candidates won due to shift in sentiment, or if they won due to random chance.

How about this article:
The Red-State Revolt Spreads to Oklahoma



So the Dems ran OK from 1907 to the 2000's and life was good. Then the black guy was elected president and OK decided to go White and ended up fiscally trashing the state, Kansas style. Is that about right? You people tried to fix something that wasn't broken?

“Pro Education Movement”

aka- Fleece the taxpayers for more teachers union money, while test scores are at record lows.

Worked so well in other bankrupt leftist utopias like Chicago, NYC, Newark, Stamford, etc etc etc

You fucking morons just never learn

Ok Mr Maple Leaf who knows squat about Oklahoma politics, I'm a regestered Democrat living in Oklahoma. Blue Dog Democrats in Oklahoma left the party in droves long before Obama was elected. We left because the party, the DNC, forgot us assuming we'd stay loyal. Instead they pandered to fringe elements on the left, who to be quite frank, most folks around here find appalling.

I was surprised when Stitt won, figured Cornett's success in OKC would carry him. But apparently his following didn't extend Statewide.

There's also that outsider vs politician mentality that might have played a factor.

Imo, Stitt will win easily against Edmondson.
