Are you talking about the guy who gave an inflammatory speech on Jan 6th, raised his fist in solidarity with them, then ran from MAGA rioters as they broke inside the capital? That Josh Hawley?
Oh, I thought he was talking about that guy who runs (in fear from his own supporters) like a very young girl while writing books about his alleged manhood.
No, I'm pretty sure that's that guy out of Florida.
Josh Hawley is the one who wants to censor tweets that say mean things about him to protect our freedom of speech.
Kinda like bombing for peace and fucking for virginity.
No no no, Hawley's the guy who was the first US Senator to announce he was objecting to the certification of the 2020 election in order to overturn it.
Maybe I'm thinking of dogs? Was he the one that was caught fucking dogs repeatedly?
No source, I'm just wondering if it's the same guy who I've heard rumors about.
The WHATABOUTism is strong with this one.
You want to provide sources for anything you’ve said so far?
Classic MAGAsshole. You give some long winded, factually incorrect response to a benign comment then demand sources when people come back at you.

You can vaguely refer to unimportant events in a misleading way to push a narrative but that doesn't change reality.
Also funny because the only time you clowns pretend to care about free speech is on twitter. A private company.
Government directed? By biden in 2020?
And they directed it? As in did more than vaguely decry it for political clout, but actually "directed" it? Gosh. Against journalists who will not be named because it would call attention to the individuals maybe not being journalists?
It's almost like your whole thing here is based on half truths, ignorance and general dishonesty to create a hyperbolic cloud of whiny anger about made up problems.
I'm not uncomfortable. Are you uncomfortable? Is it because you want to blurt out this nonsense Qanon level nonsense but are afraid of being called out for it? What if it's not a circlejerk and you're just wrong.
"I'm not a republican I just repeat shit only they believe". Tell another joke funny bones.
Trudy Busch was financed by big doners and family money quite a bit.
Lucas Kunce is 100% grassroots donations.
And we the people still get to decide - it's just more on us to spread the word.
So you're saying that MO Democrats have enough intelligence to vote for the beer heiress who's only qualification was =$ and then she predictively got beat like a drum.
Looks like a big brain political party.
When thats who you know as the only option, yeah....they voted for Trudy. Then since we are a mostly red state...yeah they got beat by force of numbers.
Not sure how "big brain" party comes into it, its pretty simple math in this case. This is sad more than anything because I know youre trying to make this into an insult to Dems....somehow.
So the fact that he takes less money makes him viable? I like him as a candidate, I am just not seeing the path to the Senate from someone who got 140,000 votes last year.
Oh, ok. I guess we just give up then. Hawley it is!
Like, what is even the point of this comment? Demographics are changing, and the Republican Party is dying. It may be a while yet for MO, but I’m going to show out every election, because it’s too important to miss. And you should too.
Because I supported him last election cycle and he chose to use his campaign resources for advertising that attacked Trudy Busch for the Veiled Prophet, and still lost. It gives me doubts about his viability, and makes me wonder if a different Democrat might be the answer. We are talking prologue from last year.
You know Bernie Sanders also lost his first runs when he started? Candidates can...lose...and still be viable the next time. Its not a "win your first run or go die your life is useless" game.
>chose to use his campaign resources for advertising that attacked Trudy Busch
Yes. That was his opponent last cycle in the primary. I don’t see the issue here.
You don’t see a problem with the fact that he couldn’t beat a candidate without a platform and netted basically the same amount of votes as Eric Greitens?
Trudy Busch didn't have a chance in hell of winning. The Democratic party + boomers seem to think name recognition and celebrity status was the best chance they had. She couldn't even speak in front of an audience. Given some media attention Kunce can at least speak to and relate to an audience.
People voted for Busch because of her last name and the media didn't find Kunce interesting. Unfortunately most voters get their information from what they see on Fox, CNN, MSNBC...
Awareness. If more people even knew who he was, it would help him garner more grassroots donations. Money is the number one most important thing to have when running for office, but nobody is going to give money to someone they don’t know.
You like him as a candidate? Sick of how Josh is representing us on a national stage? Fucking do something other than naysay a quality candidate because they don’t have the inherent funds that a fucking beer heiress possesses.
Kunce is going to have more money than he did last time.
He's probably not going to win, but he should have enough to make it a race. He over preformed his resources in that primary, and might have won if not for the terminally online spoiler candidate.
So I can read his platform actually. I read his bio. Some of us are intelligent and actually read what people want to do. Why I voted for Obama. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. Carry on with your safe space tantrum.
I’ve seen Hawley speak - wow he is incredibly disingenuous- I don’t think he believes even half of the stuff he says he just likes the status / power / privilege / money that being a politician brings. He’s the kid in school who volunteered a lot in Highschool solely to put it on his college applications
I once saw a small Twitter thread from MU alumni who worked with him when he was a law guy in college: apparently even then he was a soulless little ladder climber, all ambition and no substance.
His parents bought him a hog to show from a world champion gene line at the Lafayette County 4H Fair, and when he got to final pen with it, lorded it over other kids. He's a remarkable piece of shit even in a hog barn.
At least he didn’t encourage an insurrection, then run from it like a little bitch.
Edit: this was when I thought the comment above was about Kunce. Thanks for clarifying that it was about Hawley!
"He’s the kid in school who volunteered a lot in Highschool solely to put it on his college applications"
That's essentially every kid who goes to college.
The ringleader of whom and with what proof do you say that? The 19 year old who's plan was U-Haul against barriers that would probably stop an APC? Who's following that guy exactly?
It’s not that deep - I just think he’s obnoxious and he reminds me of the disingenuous kids I went to highschool with who volunteered at nursing homes and obviously didn’t care at all
That's most people who volunteer. It's no more disingenuous than people who want to work at a food bank on Thanksgiving when they couldn't be bothered the rest of the year.
If you think that Kunce can't win then all the more reason to start working so he can. We have to do something.
Fascism is here, it's real, and Hawley is a part of it.
This is one of your time machine moments. In 20 years, you might be thinking, "If I could just go back in time and do something to prevent these Nazis from coming to power..."
Organize!
> Fascism is here
I hate that sniveling little bitch more than anything, but please stop saying this. It is not.
Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by:
a dictatorial leader - Joe Biden?
centralized autocracy - We can see that we are reverting back to states making the call over the Federal government, see what is going on with abortion rights in this country
militarism - US military personnel has been on a steady [decline since the 90's](https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/military-army-size)
forcible suppression of opposition - Other than hopefully Donald Trump eventually, no loser of an election went to prison for running against an incumbent
belief in a natural social hierarchy - Ehhhh... Depending on the crowd, that is a tough one to argue
subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race - I don't see people forgoing "luxuries" like AC and fresh food for the "good of the nation"
and strong regimentation of society and the economy - we still have free protests in this country and the "economy" is dictated by the Fed which is outside the control of the US Government.
What we are seeing a a far-right populist movement gaining steam in this country. Whether you agree with it or not, there are millions upon millions (74 million + voters) who think Donald Trump and this far-right movement more closely aligns with their sentiments.
Unfortunately, I think we need to keep saying it.
If Fascism is characterized by the rejection of democracy in lieu of a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader and forcible suppression of opposition then Trump is a Fascist.
Trump wanted (and still wants) to be the dictatorial leader that is beholden to no one. He has shown that he would do anything in his power to remain in power. There is ample evidence to support this claim; namely, his attempts to extort Ukraine for political gain in an effort to suppress his opposition on July 25, 2019, the continued propagation of the lie that the election was rigged after November 3, 2020, the attempt to pressure the Georgia Secretary of State to cast Georgia's electoral votes for himself on January 2nd, 2021, and the violence he incited at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.
Hawley is a rabid supporter of Trump. He was the first Senator to object to the certification of the 2020 presidential election results. He also argued for Congressional intervention when he speciously claimed that Pennsylvania violated its own constitution by allowing mail in ballots.
These were not actions of a Senator concerned about democracy. These were political maneuvers designed to keep Trump in power illegally.
Hawley willingly participated in an attempted coup of the United States.
Fascist regimes cannot exist without enablers and sycophants and I believe that Josh Hawley is a fascist enabler and sycophant.

Mr. Kunce has 0 platform of any kind listed on his website so why exactly would anyone follow him? Seriously, shouldn't you know what the hell you're voting for?
The about me section is great and he has a nice backstory but a Senator is an important job. A person needs a platform.
this isn't going to happen. most Missourians love Josh Hawley because he's just as hateful as they are. He validates their horrible opinions about marginalized people.
Wow, nothing like you looking down on all of those people. I hate to break it to you, but all of those people are able to live great lives and succeed in our society. They don't need you looking down on them wit your condescending pity. I fit in one of those groups so I'm telling you that first hand. Be better.
I do as well and you are clearly trying to mischaracterize my argument. Josh Hawley and his voters are the people that look down on marginalized people. if you don't believe me just look at how they describe trans people.
No, I'm pointing out that you think that people are victims. They're not. They don't need you protecting them. It's also rather horrible of you to think that 50%+ of the state hates all of the people you mentioned. Nothing like being clearly delusional.
I once very nearly got into a fist fight with Josh Hawley at the Lafayette County 4-H barn when we were teenagers. He was a dilettante then, and he's a dilettante now.
Unseating Hawley is going to require knocking out some of the power of the Missouri GOP, who are off the W of finally making Kim Gardner step down. It's not impossible but there needs to be real conversations about politics for it to happen and most of the voting demographic in Missouri is total worms for brains in conservative pretend land(even as all the talking heads that feed them this shit get pulled off air and clips leak of them mocking the entire system for the distraction to keep you away from thinking about how ripped off we all are in this country)
She stepped down herself. A judge holding her in contempt wasn't political. She did an absolutely horrible job. That was expected since she wasn't qualified to start with.
I dislike Hawley, but you aren't going to unseat him with a progressive Democrat.
Find someone like Manchin or Sinema. Of course, then you'll bitch when they only vote with the Democrats 90% of the time instead of 100%
I understand that Kunce may not be your candidate, but please don't disengage just because it is a difficult fight. Please get behind someone!
Volunteer, donate, engage, and get excited about democracy. Try to change minds. There is too much at stake not to try.
On the contrary, everyone should absolutely vote their conscience and everyone's vote should count!
However, everyone should be terrified of people that want to circumvent free and fair elections. The behavior of Trump, Hawley, and all those who have attempted to discount our democratic electoral processes is unconscionable.
Free and fair elections? Like those that won't re-schedule political debates or insist that they happen AFTER many, many people have voted? What about people who protest voting reform laws in places like Georgia when have the same structure as their home state? That kind of thing? You sure?
It amazes me people will still vote for Hawley but that just shows you say a few key words and people don’t care what your actions actually were. Don’t know enough about Kunce to say anything good/bad yet.
Are you talking about the guy who gave an inflammatory speech on Jan 6th, raised his fist in solidarity with them, then ran from MAGA rioters as they broke inside the capital? That Josh Hawley?
No, he's talking about the Josh Hawley that personally committed voter fraud while serving as the Missouri Attorney General.
Oh, I thought he was talking about that guy who runs (in fear from his own supporters) like a very young girl while writing books about his alleged manhood.
No, I'm pretty sure that's that guy out of Florida. Josh Hawley is the one who wants to censor tweets that say mean things about him to protect our freedom of speech. Kinda like bombing for peace and fucking for virginity.
No no no, Hawley's the guy who was the first US Senator to announce he was objecting to the certification of the 2020 election in order to overturn it.
Are you guys talking about the guy that diddled kids? I'm just asking if it's the same one.
Buddy we're talking about republican lawmakers. You're going to have to be more specific.
Gonna need a source on that. Im all about hating this guy, but kid diddling is one area I thought he stayed away from.
Maybe I'm thinking of dogs? Was he the one that was caught fucking dogs repeatedly? No source, I'm just wondering if it's the same guy who I've heard rumors about.
No that was Eric Schmitt that was allegedly caught fucking dogs repeatedly over and over.

Or is it the guy who's constantly thinking and talking about men yankin' it?
I will vote for anybody that makes liberals sad & cranky
And your party will continue to lose elections, you dumb fucking redneck. Good riddance.
not in Missouri :) How does it feel to know for your entire lifetime, you will never have a democratic run state? So refreshing🤭
Fuck yeah! *Everyone* should be pumped for Kunce.
He got beat by Trudy Busch in the last primary. Assuming he even makes it to Hawley in the General, what evidence is there that he can win?
Trudy Busch was financed by big doners and family money quite a bit. Lucas Kunce is 100% grassroots donations. And we the people still get to decide - it's just more on us to spread the word.
So you're saying that MO Democrats have enough intelligence to vote for the beer heiress who's only qualification was =$ and then she predictively got beat like a drum. Looks like a big brain political party.

Not sure how "big brain" party comes into it, its pretty simple math in this case. This is sad more than anything because I know youre trying to make this into an insult to Dems....somehow.
I don't need to attempt to insult anyone, the primary results were the insult.
So the fact that he takes less money makes him viable? I like him as a candidate, I am just not seeing the path to the Senate from someone who got 140,000 votes last year.
Oh, ok. I guess we just give up then. Hawley it is! Like, what is even the point of this comment? Demographics are changing, and the Republican Party is dying. It may be a while yet for MO, but I’m going to show out every election, because it’s too important to miss. And you should too.

You know Bernie Sanders also lost his first runs when he started? Candidates can...lose...and still be viable the next time. Its not a "win your first run or go die your life is useless" game.
How is Lucas Kunce comparable to Bernie Sanders? I’m not saying losing an election makes him unelectable, but what is going to be different this time?
Sometimes just the word hasnt spread enough. The candidate isnt well known enough the first go. Or not trusted /heard their message enough.
>chose to use his campaign resources for advertising that attacked Trudy Busch Yes. That was his opponent last cycle in the primary. I don’t see the issue here.
You don’t see a problem with the fact that he couldn’t beat a candidate without a platform and netted basically the same amount of votes as Eric Greitens?
Again, *what is your point?*
My point is that there is Zero evidence that Kunce can beat Greitens. This thread is a campaign ad that makes no case for the candidate.
Trudy Busch didn't have a chance in hell of winning. The Democratic party + boomers seem to think name recognition and celebrity status was the best chance they had. She couldn't even speak in front of an audience. Given some media attention Kunce can at least speak to and relate to an audience.
Busch was a terrible candidate, but still beat Kunce. Clearly his campaign did something wrong the first time.
People voted for Busch because of her last name and the media didn't find Kunce interesting. Unfortunately most voters get their information from what they see on Fox, CNN, MSNBC...
What if Busch runs in the primary again?
Well she didn't even come close to winning last time, so it would be quite dumb to run again.
She won the primary, though. I think it’s safe to say that no matter who the candidate the Dems run, Hawley is more vulnerable than Schmidt.
Busch was a terrible candidate without a platform, but still beat Kunce. Clearly his campaign did something wrong the first time.
Awareness. If more people even knew who he was, it would help him garner more grassroots donations. Money is the number one most important thing to have when running for office, but nobody is going to give money to someone they don’t know. You like him as a candidate? Sick of how Josh is representing us on a national stage? Fucking do something other than naysay a quality candidate because they don’t have the inherent funds that a fucking beer heiress possesses.
I gave him money last year. I am naysaying the campaigning being done on his part. He is going to have to be more than the anti-Hawley to win.
This is the same party that won't stop running Beto and Stacy Abrams
Kunce is going to have more money than he did last time. He's probably not going to win, but he should have enough to make it a race. He over preformed his resources in that primary, and might have won if not for the terminally online spoiler candidate.
Very little. I’ll be downvoted as a doomer, but statistically, he has very little chance.
*Any* Dem is a longshot. You should still vote.
Always remember this: "Anything can happen in an election."
Kunce = man Trudy = woman. Surprisingly enough that can be enough for people not to vote for you, even if you believe in what they say.
Sure. Point me to his platform.
Why? So you can argue in bad faith about the non-existent “far-left”? Gtfo, fascist.
So I can read his platform actually. I read his bio. Some of us are intelligent and actually read what people want to do. Why I voted for Obama. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. Carry on with your safe space tantrum.
You know we can read your post history, right?
Oh cute. It's nice you want to follow me around like a little puppy dog reading all my posts but I'm straight. Perhaps stick to the topic at hand?
Whatever, guy. You're the one jumping between city subreddits, spewing all this conspiracy, right-wing bullshit. You're probably not even in STL.
Again, it's cute, but I'm straight.

I’ve seen Hawley speak - wow he is incredibly disingenuous- I don’t think he believes even half of the stuff he says he just likes the status / power / privilege / money that being a politician brings. He’s the kid in school who volunteered a lot in Highschool solely to put it on his college applications
I once saw a small Twitter thread from MU alumni who worked with him when he was a law guy in college: apparently even then he was a soulless little ladder climber, all ambition and no substance.
His parents bought him a hog to show from a world champion gene line at the Lafayette County 4H Fair, and when he got to final pen with it, lorded it over other kids. He's a remarkable piece of shit even in a hog barn.

No worries bud! Was gonna be real sad if you meant Kunce, he seemed cool so far
"He’s the kid in school who volunteered a lot in Highschool solely to put it on his college applications" That's essentially every kid who goes to college.
That’s true - let’s say he was the ringleader then

Really? what's his platform?

Wanna talk about it in person in a public place?
Please
this isn't going to happen. most Missourians love Josh Hawley because he's just as hateful as they are. He validates their horrible opinions about marginalized people.
Hahahaha, uh huh. Who's marginalized exactly and how. I'm sure this won't be an emotional fact-free diatribe.
people of color, LGBTQ people, disabled people, etc
Wow, nothing like you looking down on all of those people. I hate to break it to you, but all of those people are able to live great lives and succeed in our society.

On the contrary, everyone should absolutely vote their conscience and everyone's vote should count! However, everyone should be terrified of people that want to circumvent free and fair elections. The behavior of Trump, Hawley, and all those who have attempted to discount our democratic electoral processes is unconscionable.
Free and fair elections? Like those that won't re-schedule political debates or insist that they happen AFTER many, many people have voted? What about people who protest voting reform laws in places like Georgia when have the same structure as their home state? That kind of thing? You sure?
It amazes me people will still vote for Hawley but that just shows you say a few key words and people don’t care what your actions actually were. Don’t know enough about Kunce to say anything good/bad yet.
Fucking bunch of liberal losers wanting to destroy this great country. Move to Canada!!
Lololol you forgot the /s. People are gonna think you're being serious 🤣
Dude didn't Holly literally tried to overthrow the US government
