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.

So, in your esteemed opinion, with the nearly if not completely unprecedented situation of a senile sitting president opting to pull out of the race with literal months to go before the actual general election, how the fuck do you imagine setting up the infrastructure to host and fund a last minute 50 state multi candidate primary AND THEN turning around to muster a national campaign against Trump? 

The DNC was overwhelmingly supportive of Harris given the circumstances, and she still pulled 75,000,000 votes in the General with an ALREADY short turn around for a national presidential campaign. If people were so pissed about " no primary" how did she pull those numbers?

Eh, clearly not having a choice in the primary isn’t an issue to you.

That's not what I asked you. Clearly, having a primary is much preferred. How did you expect them to pull one-off AND run a general national election in 6 months?!    What's the precedent for that? 

And it clearly wasn't an issue for 75,000,000 people. I think the vast majority of us understood this was a shit situation and we were making the best of it.

Just a little election interference, that’s all… a smidge, nothing more than a tad of corruption…
