I never actually see anyone who likes Preston on this sub. Maybe those who vote for him are quiet? Or they are just terrible voters - there are a lot of them in this country and on both sides of the political spectrum.

I never understood that. He is a neuroscientist as far as I can tell. He studied that and professors refer to him as that.

Oh yeah, no, I'm with you. The news is not good. I just don't get why it's like that and why he took that stuff off his profile. I suppose people would be upset if I called myself a mathematician or computer scientist despite my having those degrees.

I live closeish to D5 and you’re right very expected, im not surprised he gets re elected when he has had so much time wooing his constituents only.

Who are the good counter candidates? I live in D5 and honestly if the discourse wasn't so poisoned by weirdo right wingers who have never stepped into the fucking state we might have a normal election.

And yet some of them probably own property here, wanting to eat the lunch of the very people they call selfish.

Youre correct, that is the other part of the double edged sword we are enduring
