Sherrod is just another Boomer that refuses to step aside and retire, who talks up a progressive game but is just another centrist neolib that’s made a career off of getting elected by scaring voters of the bogeyman if he isn’t in office. Meanwhile, he’s done little with his office other than make a lot of pretty speeches about being a Democrat, and getting his equally reprehensible nepo baby a seat on Cbus City Council where she happily rubber stamped any Coleman/Ginther/Hardin developer payoffs like a good FCDP soldier and was paid off with an early retirement into Coleman’s former Chief of Staffs cushy $200+k gig as the white lady running the urban YWCA. Someone explain to me how we don’t have a single Dem in this State that isn’t a blue collar charlatan and that actually has the balls to say what they mean. Sherrod is just a bad snake oil salesman selling us pipe dream about being pro union and a “real down to earth guy” while he’s just using the last breaths of his political career to set up his family with the same faction of the Dem party that’s allowed Ohio to be run over with Republican nonsense cause they only ever cared about their own careers. This is all theater for Sherrod, and he’s not a great actor.
Very well said. Brown’s a long shot any way you skin the cat from a campaign messaging standpoint, but I do think the better opportunity is playing to the younger, more liberal side of the left. Plus he gets the bonus of not being a spineless weasel.
On another note, hope the ordeal with Rep. Click and the Sergeant at Arms is going okay; it would be such a bummer to see your statehouse content go away.
100% correct that Brown is crazy for rooting for Moreno. His best bet is Dolan. Once Trump comes and puts his arm around Bernie he will win. Dolan is the best bet all around. Most likely Brown loses big regardless of who is their nominee.
Complaining that Sherrod Brown isn't really a "Communist" seems kind of childish, but I don't read The Rooster for serious commentary.
I am sorry to see Sherrod Brown moving to the right on immigration and the War on Drugs, and you could have noted that Brown has in fact changed his position on immigration:
I personally pretty much favor open borders and I'm against the war on drugs, which I think is the main reason drugs kill so many people in this country, but my opinions are not popular positions, and Brown has to deal with the fact that Ohio has been moving to the right.
Which Democrat aside from Brown do you see as someone who could plausibly win a Senate election?

“I’d rather die on principles than disgrace myself. That’s just me, though.”
And that’s why you’re so well respected. That’s the difference between grifters and non-grifters.
