minus-squareVeraxus@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up67arrow-down1·edit-21 year agoIs there any chance WV can elect a senator that isn’t a far-right fascist, regardless of the letter next to their name?
minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25arrow-down23·1 year agoYep. WV overwhelming supports progressive policies. It’s just the farthest left they could vote for in the general was Manchin.
minus-squareLauchs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up57arrow-down9·1 year ago??? In WV, Trump beat Biden by damn near FORTY points. In congressional races that year, the Democrats did even worse and lost by almost forty five points. In the Senate election, the Democrat candidate lost by a similar margin (about 43 points.) So I’m super curious how on Earth you expect the Democrats to win there…

minus-squareFollyDolly@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down1·1 year agoDepends on what part of the state your in. Some areas can be quite progressive and others full to the brim with Trump flags. Just depends.
