Chicago resident here. Thanks for the mention of Fairshake's involvement in an anti-Stratton ad. I was amazed by a large, glossy, vitriolic ad I got in the mail from Fairshake aimed at Robert Peters, who I met a dozen or so years ago when he was canvassing for a state legislature seat. He who impressed the hell out of me. For one thing, I've lived overseas, and he knew more about European politics than I did. (Turns out I taught his sister; he's adopted.) I think the Fairshake ad is factually false, and I guess the crypto people are scorching the earth to defeat anyone who might be anti-crypto. Peters is now running to fill Robin Kelly's seat; she's the third in the Senate campaign (and by far the least likely to win). Either Krishnamoorthi or Stratton; I favor the latter.
It’s pretty freaking clear to this reader what Fairshake’s beef with Stratton is - her name is not Raja Krishnamoorthi! The crypto industry has already spent millions securing a candidate who’s totally in the bag for them, and now they’re just trying to ensure a win
Because we have a two-party system, but—as in every nation—people hold more than two ideologies, primaries are the way to resolve internal differences and unite behind the winner against the opposition party. Primaries are how voters decide which direction the party should take.
Yeah, this article definitely sours me on Jasmine Crockett. If you can't handle press coverage of your run for Senate, then you shouldn't be running period.
Has anyone else seen the Republican businessman Gavin Solomon from New York, he has filed paperwork for 52 federal offices nationwide (including filing multiple times in four states), really displaying the problems with the filing and election issues with candidates in the U.S. Furthermore, what would happen if he won multiple primaries or in the very unlikely scenario he wins multiple federal elections?

There's a misunderstanding of broadcast law here.
If a claim made in the ad is factually false (as Foushee's claim was), the station cannot air it without opening up liability for themselves.
FCC regulations don't supersede defamation laws. All the stations have taken down that version of the ad.
I can’t wait for primary season to be over.
I'm ready for it to be over after Tuesday, but there's 48 more states!
Yeah, but I'll be so glad the TX primary will be over.
Yeah, I've never understood why so many people here are obsessed with primaries.
I want to beat Republicans, not Democrats.
Yeah, but sometimes primary voters screw over the party by voting for someone who's toxic in the general election against a Republican.

Brother, if you think the Texas discourse was bad, wait til the Maine primary.
Yeah, this article definitely sours me on Jasmine Crockett. If you can't handle press coverage of your run for Senate, then you shouldn't be running period.

Seems to have a bit of Trump in her. But as the article points out, a lot of voters like that.

"New poll: Democrats' real problem isn't being too liberal — it's being seen as too weak
Americans, including swing voters, see the Republican Party as 20 points more extreme than Democrats — and the Democrats as weak and ineffective.:
