Aren't you from the U.K.? I'm from north London myself and yeah, good luck finding any Jamaican conservatives (or any other PoC conservatives. Most aren't..)As a Jamaican....nah we tend to lean left...usually because a lot of us experience Poverty until we can change that in a generation or two. But most of the Jamaicans off the island have family still on the island in some sort of Poverty so we in theory can empathize a bit better.

My gf is from the US and her family are from Jamiaca. A few of them vote republican. Apparently it's sort of common. Especially amongst those who are fairly religious.
A Republican candidate seeking to challenge Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) dropped out of the congressional GOP primary race late Monday.
"I am very grateful to the constituents in NY-14 and citizens from across this great nation for their support and words of encouragement," Scherie Murray, a Jamaican immigrant and businesswoman, said in a statement.
"As long as avowed socialists are legislators, you can rest assured I will use my platform to advocate for the kitchen table issues of the toughest, hardest working New Yorkers. This is not the end for Scherie Murray because I will continue to work hard," she added.
Murray suspended her campaign just days after she had filed a lawsuit against a contractor for allegedly making errors while tasked with getting signatures on Murray's behalf.

The federal lawsuit alleges, among other mistakes, that the vendor used a registered Democrat to be the "subscribing witness" for Murray's petition, which violates state law that requires the subscribing witness be a Republican in order to get on the GOP primary ballot, the New York Daily News reported.
D+29
why was she wasting the money campaigning in the first place.
Wasn't ever really that concerned about AOC losing her seat. Omar on the other hand could be in for a fight.

she also ran a terrible anti-labor campaign against a popular socialist candidate in an overwhelmingly democratic district. Even disregarding the numbers she was wasting everybody's time in a working class urban district.Regardless of stance, people want to run to represent others. Should democrats never try to challenge / change traditional R strongholds? Where is the line? When it's down to +5? How do you think an area goes from +29 to +5?
What does she think a socialist would be advocating for exactly? Lip service to 'kitchen table issues' as a Republican wouldShe dropped out

Omar is only in danger of losing her seat in a primary battle, and it's still unlikely to happen (this year, anyway). Every gross, racist/xenophobic rumor about her could turn out to be 100% true and she'd still win the seat by 30 points over any Republican.Wasn't ever really that concerned about AOC losing her seat. Omar on the other hand could be in for a fight.
Good. She had no chance anyway.She dropped out

Remember when conservatives tried to use this against her? Like, someone legitimately thought this would ruin her or at least bring her reputation down. Absolutely insane.
They are so desperate to tear her down. I understand since AOC is the biggest future threat to them.Remember when conservatives tried to use this against her? Like, someone legitimately thought this would ruin her or at least bring her reputation down. Absolutely insane.

So this means AOC is running unopposed now right? I don't think anyone else is going for the GOP nomination, and while I do remember someone challenging AOC in the primary they're likely a non-factor.
Conservatives tried to discredit Obama for ordering Dijon mustard on his sandwich at a restaurant. When you don't stand for anything that benefits the average person of the country, it's all you have.Remember when conservatives tried to use this against her?

Her primary challenger has a lot of big $$ support from the usual corporate Dem suspects.

That's a pretty fucked up law. She has the right to be mad at the vendor. Of course, if she actually had a chance of winning she should have been able to gather those signatures herself.
Ahh, the CNBC hack that used to be a republican. Should be a landslide victory for AOC.Her primary challenger has a lot of big $$ support from the usual corporate Dem suspects.

.AOCs biggest challenger is the Corporate boot scum lickin Republican disguised as a Democrat. CorpoDems want all non-white people to be both woke AND broke, I hope her campaign fails hard.
