Ladies and gentlemen of the Poasters Jury, I would like to call your attention to my opponent’s latest attack ad, which not only features (illegal) undisclosed AI imagery, random subliminal messaging including dead animals and worms, but an obvious misspelling on the post itself
An attack ad by my opponent that reads “Don’t be fooled, Chris Kluwe is a dangerous extremist who’s politics don’t belong in Orange County”

The correct grammar is “whose”

What a sad state of affairs when a president can joke about letting Iran “take out” Los Angeles or San Diego and it barely makes news. Can you imagine the outrage if any other president said that? America – we can do better than this.

The term “remigration” is associated with the extreme right and only came into widespread usage in 2023-4. Even Germany’s AfD avoided using the term in 2024 for fear of scaring away voters. Today the US government is celebrating the “victories” it’s racked up in the “ethnic cleansing” column.
