Democrats have successfully flipped a seat in New Jersey’s General Assembly in a a deep-red district that has not elected a Democratic legislator in three decades.
Decision Desk HQ projects that Democrat Avi Schnall has won a seat in the assembly, unseating incumbent Republican Assemblyman Ned Thomson. Voters in each New Jersey legislative district choose two assembly members to represent them, so the contest was a four-way race featuring two Democrats and two Republicans.
Schnall was elected alongside incumbent Republican Assemblyman Sean Kean in the 30th district.
I compared him to Sinema…
I thought it was obvious that some politicians lie. So even if he claimed progressive policies, that doesn’t mean he’s not just lying. I highly doubt many Republicans who switch to D just before running in an election honestly had a sudden change of heart.
But you’re saying if he supported that stuff he’d have lost, now youre saying he did support that stuff…
I’m sorry, maybe it’s me but I can’t understand what point you’re trying to make here. I’m not seeing any logical consistency
And I don’t think that’s going to be as easy to change as a letter by a republicans name.
But maybe you should take a minute to Google a politician before blindly supporting them like you just did? That’s pretty much the blind support based only on the letter by someone’s name I was just complaining about
I did not say he supported that stuff, I asked if he had. My sentence ended in a question mark, because it was an honest question.
If he had called for abortion rights, for instance, then that is calling for abortion rights. It’s publicly supporting that position in the public space.
Do recall, my original thesis is “we will see how he votes.” I have not expressed any support or opposition to him, merely caution and a wish to observe.
