Can someone explain how this blocks Massie from disrupting a seat?
First of all, isn’t Massie a republican? (Though redeemingly anti-trump)
Second, doesn’t this just push the election back a couple months? Are they just trying to delay the inevitable?
Massie is the other KY senator, not the governor. Andy Beshear is the governor, and he’s a Democrat.
A few months gives them time to purity test a few viable candidates and astroturf them to the voters.
@Mirshe@lemmy.world @wonderingwanderer massie is a rep for 4th district, not senator
rand paul is the other senator
fuckin no post troll.
The Governor doesn’t have anything to do with it.
Purity tests an astroturfing sounds accurate though
@wonderingwanderer Massie is part of an internal GOP faction opposing MAGA.
That’s good and all, but what does that have to do with a special election to replace McConnell? That’s what I don’t get
@wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz massie being a KY senator instead of rep.
im starting to feel like im talking to a wall, willful playing the fool, or you’re just so far out of your depth you should go away
oh. i just looked at your profile
my mistake for engaging with the troll, folks.
That’s unnecessarily hostile seeing as you didn’t even answer my question. You’re not talking to a wall, you’re talking around me.
Are you saying republicans are concerned that Massie might take McConnells spot, and that’s why they’re avoiding the special election? If so, valid, that could have been your initial response instead of simply repeating something I had already said.
Even so, how is that any different than if they just wait and have a normal election in November? Just gives them more time to pass anti-voter legislation before November, I guess?
Also:
That’s fucking hilarious coming from a mastodon account who can’t say more than a couple sentences. You go away, troll. Enjoy your microblog all you want, but this is the threadiverse
