It is disappointing that Sherrill has chosen to extend her popularity & credibility to some of the sleaziest & cheesiest people in NJ politics & always acts surprised when they do cheesy & sleazy things.

You mean stuff like this?

There’s also the strong arming in Maplewood. Purging non Mikie endorsers from your towns advisory boards. Thats just what we know about.

Suddenly appointing 11 new district leaders to Morris Township so they could vote in the convention for Mikie.

Sorry to disagree Joe, but there's a lot more. 🌻

I really hate the term "machine" candidate... As someone in Mikie's district I watched her start at the bottom like everyone else and she works hard and earned where she is now, she worked for the respect she has from the democratic party. However, that being said..

I see Mikie as her own person. She is campaigning for votes. I don't get the "machine" criticism. I don't even know who the machine is! :)

I don't think the state party should be endorsing anyone or giving an unfair advantage until the primary voters have spoken. This is a part that needs serious reform.

You want democracy to win
So you vote the candidate, who is opposed to trump fascism.
USA does not have the luxury to dwell upon this or that issue.

There's only one issue: fascism or not..

“She courted the leadership of the largest Dem counties in both north + central Jersey & won their endorsements. As JC Mayor Steve Fulop, a top competitor for the nomination, gambles on defying the traditional county parties, Sherill is embracing them — even if their power is not what it once was.”

"Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss."

Who is the new boss?

stayvigilant144.bsky.social•4 days ago

Sherrill, if elected.

brianshaas.bsky.social•4 days ago

I thought you might have meant Fulop. Thanks for the clarification

stayvigilant144.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh, no! Fulop is really shaking things up, in a good way.
