I hope to God she beats Vivek.

Really I just hope someone beats the shit out of VIvek. If that swarmy little shit wins, Ohio is truly fucked.

I want to think so, but I doubt it. COVID was such a stupid time in our states recent history and anything to do with it will automatically be a big "No" for some voters. She's guilty by association.

Also, if she is running as a vanilla democrat akin to Biden but for Ohio - she will get absolutely demolished. Ohio doesn't need a body that's entirely schtick is being "Not Vivek" we need an actual leader who will implement progressive changes and attempt to remove some corruption.

It will not happen.

This entire article is a puff piece that doesn't tell us anything about her policies but it does give me the feeling that the established democratic institutions are backing her with no real improvements or changes from other candidates.

Happy to be wrong. Hoping to be wrong, but I doubt it.

Yeah, Ohio repugnants fucking hate her. She kept early covid numbers relatively sane before she was functionally ran out of town.

No, she's a woman. People will stay home rather than vote for a woman.
