The Rhode Island Democratic Party May Have Endorsed An Alt-Right Trump Supporter over a Progressive

Not a good look for the RI Democratic Party. How much weight does their endorsement carry? Is Walsh likely to lose her seat?
It makes perfect sense if you see what corporate democrats really are. They're after money.
Justice democrats and real progressives are coming to take away the gravy train. No corporate donations. That is the scariest thing in the world to these people. They literally are fine with unnecessary war, not doing anything about climate change, and people dying bankrupt with no health care as long as they keep getting money.
People should be expecting this by now from the democratic party. They need to be pushed out.
Those are called DINOs and we shouldn't be electing those anywhere, not even in the reddest parts of the reddest states. As far as I'm concerned, all Democrats should have F ratings from the NRA, otherwise they're no better than Republicans in that regard.
Machine politics is about keeping the good old boys in power, not anything to do with representing the electorate.
Rhode Island is a mess politically. Most people here are too lazy and/or unconcerned with politics and those who do have some drive are viewed with suspicion and fear. For being surrounded by strongly liberal leaning states, Rhode Island would be the first to go RED.
Rhode Island is Southeastern Massachusetts without Boston. Except there is more mob presence.
I mean yeah if you want the Repubs to win for the next 20 years while a new part establishes itself.
These people just need to go.
It also doesn't help that only Dems win in most races so everyone runs as one. Even if they don't belong in the party. Combine that with the fact that the state was run by the mob for years and people here almost expect their politicians to be crooks to the point where politicians will wear it like a badge of honor (look up Buddy Cianci), and you have a really bad mix. That being said, at least it is a blue state for the most part.
Rhode Island's House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello, a pro-life Democrat who had an A+ rating from the NRA in 2016.

There's a lot of rot within the Democratic Party that we've ignored.
Right? It's essentially a Republican dressed up as a Democrat in order to win in a blue state. If you're in a Blue state and your Democrat candidate isn't a full blown progressive, you're being tricked into putting conservatives into power.

It's like that episode of Seinfeld where George gets dumped by his girlfriend because he's too obsessed with trying to get Jerry's girlfriend to like him
Man could those fuckers be more transparent. I'm talking of the corrupt Dem leadership here.
Reform will only be seen when young progressives start taking the helm...

It's like a video game until you unlock 100% of the voters you can't move on to the next Congressional seat.
I don't see the controversy. If the speaker is an anti-choice gun nut this Earnhart dude should fit right in.
Maaan fuck this dude. Not super familiar with RI politics, any chance the other Dem in the primary pushes this guy out?
Respectfully, the JD are bad. Root for better reformers, like the DSA.

Not completely familiar with RI politics, but I feel that *this* is a perfect situation to push for better standards. +82 dem seat should be as progressive as it gets, and there's no harm by "in-fighting". In fact, it looks more like an infiltration if they're pushing what is essentially an alt-right dud. Give em the boot.
So this dude that was apparently driven to vote for trump due to dislike of Hillary registered as a republican when he first registered with the state in 2014.
I think the reaction to the actions and stances of Dems like Manchin can be overblown, but this is a case where those on the left have every reason to be pissed. This is corruption that's exploiting a very blue place and ignoring the political shifts happening right now.
Yup, this is utterly ridiculous. Machine politics are horrible.
