I like this approach.

(17,502 posts)I like the guy although his macho man thing is very thin on substance. I want to hear how he plans to change campaign finance other than just yelling about it.
He withdrew from his presidential (?!) campaign in 2019. Then he lost a different primary.
Strikes me as an authoritarian

So much for judgement.

(101,711 posts)But toxic masculinity isn't just a theoretical concept worldwide. It is playing out daily in geopolitics and certainly in our own. Machismo rhetoric that demeans women, including Pelosi or other dedicated long-term public servants-- is a BIG time warning sign to me.

(4,714 posts)The concerns of previous commenters are notable serious. However, I hope other Dems tap into the energetic style. So many ads and solicitations from politicians and PACs use the same tired language.

(35,148 posts)campaign, he wasn't even going to take a paycheck and he tells it like it is. Criticizing Nancy Pelosi is smart she is the most
hated Democrat in WV. You talk to a person from WV Nancy Pelosi is the first Democrat they name. Joe Manchin shoots stuff with his
shotgun, that works in WV. He may not win but that is what Democrats need to do.
