He may be the most gifted Democrat to come along since Obama, but he's not beating an incumbent Republican in Missouri, even one as worthless as Hawley.
Please reassure me that the Missouri electorate is not so completely moronic as to re-elect this traitorous dimwitted fool. >

It’s complicated. Missouri is a majority red state by count of the counties. But  a vast majority of the population of Missouri lives in 3 cities along the major highway I-70: St Louis, Kansas City (next biggest after Louey) and Columbia (home of Mizzou), and springfield(okay place to live). Of course these urban areas with their larger populations would be a threat to republicans, so they do everything they can get away with to suppress votes in and around these cities. A BIG chunk of Missouri is democratic leaning, but because of the fact that they live in close proximity to eachother makes it easy for republicans to make sure their votes don’t matter. >

Springfield is ok when you’re not getting your car stolen or randomly shot. >

Never been to a big city I guess? >

I went to HS and College in Springfield (lived there for about 15 years), but have travelled a lot and now live in Seattle:
Springfield is so much worse. The per capita shit in Springfield is off the fucking charts. I have never had anything happen in a big city, but Springfield was a daily slog of petty theft, shootings, and people shoving crowbars under your garage door to try and pry it open. >

In before the first "Fuck Josh Hawley" post. Also, Fuck Josh Hawley.
