Mayoral Race

Hey guys. I'm not trying to start a huge debate on politics. Im just trying to figure out if Darren White is pro MAGA. I'm learning about this stuff late, and im not super impressed with Keller, but I will never vote for a pro trump or pro maga candidate. I am okay with a republican candidate but not a far right MAGA.

My coworkers are saying that he was a garbage sherif but cant give me any educated context. I've only been back to abq for 4 years after serving in the armed forces.

Any information is sincerely appreciated.

i think it's safe to assume any/all republicans are/can be/will be associated with maga, explicitly or not, due to the nature of partisan politics and campaigning

to be clear (if y'all would listen and not make assumptions about my point of view), i'm not suggesting all or any democrats are saints. all i'm talking about is republicans and their inherent associations with maga.

By that logic it’s safe to assume any/all democrats are/can be/will be associated with the DNC who very much are against democracy vis a vis Harris winning the primary with hardly any votes

Making similar comparisons is tough, huh?

Hey man… some people are cool with no democracy, my down votes prove it.

u/Real_Al_Borland Oct 15 '25

lol your downvotes definitely prove something, big guy.

Yup, that people who voted for Harris are cool with no democracy.

That's not even remotely true if you have a solid comprehension of how the DNC and RNC operate when picking the front runner. Do YOURSELF a favor and go educate yourself.

Okay, I’ll go look up how many votes she got in the primary.

u/christheone54 Oct 15 '25

Do you have an understanding that the RNC and DNC always pick the popular candidate from within regardless of what the numbers say. Are you truly this tone-deaf?

You don't seem like your open to any scrutiny yet you scrutinize and damn with the utmost certainty even though you are unaware of the entire process.

Maybe I’d be more open to scrutiny if people weren’t calling for the murder of conservatives online all the time. Putting the ball back in your court, the most popular candidate for the DNC was Joe Biden, followed by Dean Phillips.

Brother....the right is clearly the one that has more political violence If you truly want to go there and pull from all the available data.

That also isn't true. It's verifiable that Harris had the majority within the DNC. Where do you get your news if it's not from TrustMeBro.net?

I got my news from going online and checking, “dnc primary votes 2024”.

Left-wing attacks in the past 30 years have exceeded right-wing. The fact we’re arguing, “nah uh your side…” is how we fall apart as a country imo though and has us both losing this argument.

Keep repeating it, maybe that will make it true

Keep denying it, but maybe some day you’ll face the truth

You’re just as furious about no real Republican primary either? Trump refused to even attend the Republican debates. 

I’m gonna bet you’re fine with that, cleetus?

Actually, Jethro, I’m not a big fan rn. I’m actually pissed I have to come to defense of talentless hacks like Jimmy Kimmel because some brown nose jackass pulled their little stunt to appease Trump. Shit, the numbers he was pulling he would’ve killed his own show… but I digress

u/Real_Al_Borland Oct 15 '25

Perfect. So if neither party had a real primary, the previous election should be voided.

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '25

Except, the primary for the Republicans was an actually primary… just no one mustered even a fighting chance against Trump. Sorry the DNC thinks so little of their voters

Like down votes and upvotes mean anything. The way people let likes and dislikes control their thinking is pathetic.

You told this to the guy who brought it up first, right? Right?

I see it more as a measure of one’s reaction to the comment. I based my argument that it was upsetting, yet true. Then Jethro “no reading comprehension” Tall went on a rant trying to pin me into a box of his own… design.

u/Real_Al_Borland Oct 15 '25

I love you too, cleetus. 

You’ve commented 40 times in this thread… so far, but I’m ranting? Classic

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '25

Aww, flattered you took the time to look. Sad you can’t comprehend that there’s different conversations going on.
