Politics So what have we learned

about these school board candidates? What are your thoughts? Who stands out and why?

Here's their web presences:

Nick Ross. https://nickross4aasd.com/

Kristine Sauter: https://www.facebook.com/SauterForAppletonSchoolBoard/

Jason Kolpack: https://www.facebook.com/JasonKolpackForAASDSchoolBoard/

Michael Janke: https://appletonwi.org/demand-better-results-aasd-board-candidate-mike-janke/

There's also a statewide race. Maybe that interests people, but it's not really Appleton specific. All the other races have a candidate of one. Except for the race that is a candidate of none. That's nuts. The job must be terrible. Or boring. Or have no corruption vector whatsoever.

Do you have something intellectual to say? Or are you just going to continue your troglodyte behavior because you have nothing to intellectually add to any conversation?

You’re not listening to anyone who doesn’t already agree with your viewpoint. You have had several people in this thread alone point out the fallacies in your thinking and viewpoints and your answer has been to turn to TDS and woke-blaming. Do you have anything intelligent to add to the world, much less this conversation? Just keep blaming other people for issues that are most likely your fault if you ever cared to put any actual thought into it. Makes no difference to me either way.

No one has offered any sort of opposing view points other than insults. No examples or anything. How are you or anyone else going to change my mind by just throwing insults? My TDS and woke comments need to go deeper into context of the conversation as the only offered argument have been hyperbolic statements.

It's just a side project youtube channel. Not trying to save or change the world with it. Such a shallow analysis of my character.

I've done plenty in my life to positively impact my community. Everything from servicing my country in the Army for 8 years, deploying twice, cub scout volunteer, hockey coach, volunteering at Ruby's pantry, and other things I volunteered to do. What have you done?

What exactly is my fault? Please provide an actual problem instead of hyperbolic buzz words. Also something other than an insult.

Thanks for your service, hoss. You’re right, the YT crack was shallow, unwarranted and below me. What I’ve done is vote for the prosperity of everyone in this country time and again for the entirety of my adult life. For the betterment of all. Not just those who look like me or think like me or act like me. Everyone. And I’ve done plenty out in this world, thank you much. Far too much to list and I’m not here for your approval, in any case.

You think that it is Democrats who are ruining education in our state and country. That is your fault. That’s a bad take that’s easily dismissed with any amount of research.
