Not so sure.
Haven’t decided on that yet.
I do know her answer were way different than what I expected and matched what she has said in local interviews.

I'm also extremely biased and prejudiced against politicians. I am not objective so it is impossible for me to discuss her reasonably.
I'm virulently racist towards the political race.

Are you suggesting she should begin a reeducation campaign to combat misinformation?

I'm suggesting if what comes out of her mouth doesn't match her website she's stupid, lazy, ineffectual, or run by her party.

Politicians without a voting record use the currency of trust. Voters need to trust them. Incongruity in messaging erodes trust.

Just so Im fair. Here is her opponent

The federal government has failed the American people at the southern border since Joe Biden took office . Over 7 million illegal aliens have crossed into our country and it affects Tennessee in a great way.

Buzzword. 1 million net new per right wing CIS. OK.



Tennesseans have seen an increase in crime and human and drug trafficking, and Tennessee taxpayers had to pick up the bill.

Fent Drug deaths % increased more from 17-20 than 21-23. Hmmmm...

I voted in the general assembly for three laws:

Give the Governor the greater authority to send the National Guard to the southern border.
When local law enforcement detains someone in the state of Tennessee the federal government must be informed.
The punishment for crimes broken by illegal aliens will be enhanced

Not our job
Why should Feds be made aware of every arrest by legal citizen. I guess he meant detained for immigration but not clear.
Kick them out.

No. I said earlier. If you wanted just people in her/district to respond, I apologize.

You’re free to do whatever you want. It’s a message board. But unfortunately the questions and answers were of a local nature so if you don’t know what’s happening here you won’t likely understand the conversation without me writing books for every post.

I’m suggesting that you taking a different definition for the words she says than she does makes you ignorant on the issue.

Are her words ambiguous? Are they ill-defined?
If not, how are her and my definitions different?

Tbh, I'm not sure if you're talking in a "big picture" conceptual sense or in a specific sense with respect to Gorman's words.

Like I said, I used her own words, from her website to form an opinion of her. No right wing, tribal spin. If it doesn't represent her then that's on her.

We all make decisions based on who we vote for. We have to make compromises because no candidate aligns 100% (at least for me). If she checks enough boxes that outweigh the other things you disagree with, you should vote for her. Those three things I listed and are front and center on her website automatically discounts her other things that I might agree with because those are most important to me. They may not register on your importance scale and that's fine.

What I did when I met her was stare up the street at the front door of her opponents home wondering if he was seeing this.

Edit: I was hoping he was seeing it just to see what he would say to me.
Maybe I should put her sign in my yard to get his reaction.

Ya, I don’t think there’s any way I vote against a guy I live near. The whole point is that we read the buzzwords and make decisions when there’s a lot more too it than that.
Sure it’s her fault for going with the buzzwords without clarifying what she means. But she’s way different than what I expected.

You want to see "businesses paying their fair share", check out what Oregon is trying to do with a gross receipts tax.

They want to charge grocery stores a 3% gross receipts tax at every step in supply chain (producer, distributor, retail sale) and they don't think that an industry that makes 2% margins wont pass it on...

It sounds like absolutely nobody that has posted in this thread so far is in your district. Were you looking for no feedback at all?

It’s literally in the first post. I figured it was unlikely that there were but worth a shot because it would be an interesting conversation. Of course if there wasn’t any from my district, the tribal dipsticks would bring entertainment value. It’s not like reading comprehension is your strong suit.

Every single person posting in this thread other than you ignored your comment about living in your district. So, you have no problem with everybody else posting in this thread that doesn't live in your district - just me. Got it!

No. I know everyone else in this thread so there’s history.

Go to hell. I’ve been a member of Volnation 5 years longer than you, and I’ve been posting in the PF for years. I used to actually enjoy your posts. Now, I’m starting to think maybe you’re just a pretentious, self-absorbed ass.

Vote for the self-described progressive. You deserve what you get.
