I know it's just a typo but I like the idea of someone running on a platform as a Satinist. :)

Well?

The 2020 Republican National platform duplicated the platform in 2016, which was blatantly anti LGBTQ, the president's statements to the contrary. And the Justice Department eviscerated or downright removed rights and protections of our community gained over the past twenty years. It's disappointing that regardless of her stands on other issues, Ms. di Mezzo aligned herself with the ANTI LGBTQ political movement.

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson's vetoing the state's ban on transgender treatments on minors will be the "end of him" and propel Sarah Sanders to the governor's mansion, according to former President Donald Trump.

"Asa Hutchinson, the lightweight RINO Governor of Arkansas, just vetoed a Bill that banned the CHEMICAL CASTRATION OF CHILDREN," Trump said in a statement. "'Bye-bye Asa,' that's the end of him! Fortunately for the Great State of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders will do a fantastic job as your next Governor!"

SATINIST | Definition of SATINIST by Oxford Dictionary :

Sounds very controversial to me, someone who likes to wear satin running for office, OMG what next!

It's New Hampshire ...

Well, this is in New Hampshire. Northern New Hampshire at that. (BTW, Laconia? I didn't know Laconia was big enough to have a daily paper.)

"Live free or die," and all that. Perhaps they feel they can "live free" of whatever nonsense the US national Republican Party tries to shove down their throats and "go their own way."

Oh, well, a gal can dream, right?

That reminds me of a filk song: Jeff & Maya Bohnhoff – Knight's in White Satin

The Moody Blues

might have something to say about that.
Their 'Knights in White Satin' song is one of their best. I've seen them perform it six times over the years.

Okaaaaay

Something about being an anarchist running for an office that upholds law and order makes me wonder how serious she really was.

We the willing, led by the unsure. Have been doing so much with so little for so long,
We are now qualified to do anything with nothing.

Reminds me of an old song...

by a favorite band I always seem to be quoting here:
"Well the chief of police kept the crime off the streets,
Deep in his heart, we all knew he felt differently;
We all knew he was an anarchist!"

So I suppose there's a precedent for it somewhere.
And didn't Hunter S. Thompson run for Sheriff
in some town in Colorado once upon a time?
That woulda been interesting...

Sounds a bit like that trick that has been going on in some southern states where at the last minute some new third party "liberal" joins the race. Some have been surprisingly well funded with slick ads and mailers and just the right platform to drain away enough of the progressive vote to let the conservative win.

Ranked voting with instant runoff is the only way we will ever defeat that kind of tactic. But the only way we will ever get ranked voting is if we move the overton window significantly to the left.
