I actually just got to go to a Q&A with this guy today. Overall, I agree, I don't think he's Bernie Sanders-Liberal, but he seems leagues ahead of what we have with Fischer, who, in my humble opinion, is a lying sack of shit.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Deb Fischer is to honest and upstanding people what sheep are to fish.
Not even the same fuckin animal.
Oh you lucky bastard! I hope he won your support and you'll consider supporting him outside of the ballot box too.
Bingo! I will absolutely take someone who is staunchly pro-labor and pro-Roe, but maybe iffy on other "liberal" policies, over someone who is an out-and-out a corrupt corporate shill willing to overthrow American democracy for the party line.
Yes I'll definitely vote for him, especially if it's between him and Fischer lol.
I sure hope so
Don't just hope, consider donating money or your time to his campaign. You don't have to be in Nebraska. This fight isn't over.
I sent a few bucks. Never been to Nebraska, but good luck.
One piece worth noting is that there intentionally is no dem running in this race. It's only a republican and independent, so no need to worry about anyone acting as a spoiler here
I think a lot of people are sleeping on this race. People have kind of expected it to start moving towards republicans as undecided decrease. However in the in the limited public polling, the race so far has stayed close to statistically tied as undecideds slowly decrease (though still pretty high number)
Let's hope so. They should lose it for unleashing the orange turd for a second time.
The sad thing is that people polled probably just thought he was related to Tom.
