Republicans are now in control of North Carolina

Fuck this TRAITOROUS bitch!

How is that even legal? If she had any honor, she'd step down and run again next time. Oh, that's right, she's a republican, she doesn't understand the meaning of honor.

How much cash do you think was involved?

DLer Tony Woodward has some juicy gossip about Cotham and her husband. I hope he weighs in.

The leader of the Republican party just got indicted yesterday but it is the Democrats who have lost our way? Again, FUCK YOU, Cotham!

Tony mentioned he had sex with her husband a couple of times.

Despicable act.

Expect more of this. Republicans can not win with their unpopular ideas, so they'll get more and more creative with their cheating. If you compare Tulsi Gabbard to Krysten Sinema to Tricia Cothman, they are getting slicker and slicker with this trick.

More GOP/Putin blackmail/extortion politics. You’ve got secrets and we are going to exploit them to force your compliance. Nothing to do with the electorates voice being heard or freedom. Just authoritarian sociopaths bullying for more power.

This bitch ran as a Democrat and has only been in office for just several months, but all of a sudden she says "the modern-day Democratic Party has become unrecognizable to me"???? She complained that she was criticized for using the American flag and praying hands emoji on her social media and on her cars. I suspect she doth protest too much and a few people bitching about her emoji hardly amounts to a reason to switch parties, particularly one that runs counter to her on every issue she supported in her campaign (or pretended to support).

I also think she was never a Democrat and this whole party-switch was in the works long ago. Or someone has some seriously bad stuff on her and used it. She's a fraud. She's also in a blue district so I don't see how she's going to last beyond her current term.

R10, she was apparently a democratic state rep in another district from2007-17. Something has changed--she's likely getting something out of this. It must be big for her, because she is in a heavily democratic district now and is unlikely to be re-elected. Clearly she can do a lot of damage in the meantime.

She is rumored to fucking this guy. He is GOP and the Speaker of the House. The dick that damn good, traitor?

People who base major decisions on social media reactions are proven morons, no exceptions.

Just log the fuck off of twitter. Jesus. It's easily avoided and not real life, people!!

If it turns out she really did do this because she's fucking that goober, she better buckle in, because any kind of social media "harassment" she received will be nothing compared to what gets thrown at her now.

The only sliver of a silver lining in this cloud is that a NC Rep has only a 2-year term, so she's up for re-election in 2024. But yes, she can help do a lot of damage in the next 20 months.

The voters can recall her. Once she’s exposed as a whore, they’ll go after her. In north Carolina, no matter what your politics. An adulterer is a problem in local elections. She’s toast. And I bet that Guy isn’t even a good lay.

Pretty state/shitty people.

The problem is after 2008, the Democratic base has been largely MIA in NC elections, while the deep red rural and exurban voters are voting in unprecedented numbers. Black, Hispanics, urban, and young voters had abysmal turnout in November. Rural blacks stayed home en masse in November. And Democrats have done a crappy job of registering new voters, while Republicans have been going gangbusters registering new red voters

Here's hoping the Dems are willing to fight dirty and bury this bitch.

Ashville is the rich white repug Shangri- La.

Dirty cunt.

How can this morally bankrupt woman look at the rancid amoral cesspool Republican Party of today and say “I’m in!” I hope she’s happy now with whatever they gave her. I also hope she is shouted at whenever she shows her face in public. Sad to see that the states are falling like dominoes to a fascist, authoritarian GOP who will rule them for 100 years, as there’s no legal way to get rid of them as they lock it up tight. Hello poverty, teen pregnancy, illiteracy, no higher education, children working in slaughterhouses and on and on. But, this is what you North Carolinians, Floridians, Texans, Tennesseans etc. want. It’s what Americans want. Enjoy.

You should not be able to switch parties AFTER getting elected at the state or federal level.

There should be a required special election.

Hope the Democrats leak all kinds of bad shit about her to the media

[quote]Black, Hispanics, urban, and young voters had abysmal turnout in November. Rural blacks stayed home en masse in November.

These demographics are INCREDIBLY STUPID.

She ran as a progressive too. What a cunt.

This tracks for that shithole state.

The Democratic Party has done a tragic job of registering new voters and getting the base to turn out in NC. It’s almost as bad as the Florida Democratic Party

While the Party needs to do better, the citizens need to take some responsibility for themselves too.

One silly bitch can tank the hopes and dreams of millions of residents of a state. I can’t think of anything more despicable than what this turncoat has done to her constituents. I wish karma was real.

I’m sure there were plenty of signs that she was a DINO. She shouldn’t have been the Democratic nominee.

That’s one reason Pennsylvania Democrats went for Fetterman over Conor Lamb.

At one time, people thought NC would trend purple to blue because so many people from the Northeast and Midwest are moving there. It remains of the nation’s fastest growing states, but it’s largely Northern conservatives and retirees moving to NC. And they are countering any progressive migration to the state and voting red when they move. So, population growth is actually making NC redder.

A progressive or a "progressive"? The latter would be like Sinema. GTFOOH with those types. No more of them, for fuckssake.

They’ll be another election and all the right wing garbage that gets passed until then will turn off voters. NC will go blue. Inevitable.

[quote]I’m sure there were plenty of signs that she was a DINO.

She was once married to the chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party.

This woman switched parties because her new boyfriend told her to

The sad thing about women being held back from making progress in this country is largely due to women acting like women. They want to be submissive to a man and punish other women. Even Ruth Bader Ginsberg was guilty of this.

Dumb bitch! Mentioned that she was leaving the party because of their "cancel culture"? WTF? Who and Which party is doing the cancelling!....

Too stupid to work fast food. I wonder what is she getting out of it? Anyone check her bank accounts lately?

She's either getting paid or getting blackmailed.

No, she’s getting that D

She betrayed her constituents for D

It is not inevitable NC will trend blue. It’s population growth is largely attributable to conservative Northerners and retireees moving there to escape liberalism. The state is redder now than it was in 2010

I am still furious. I hate this bitch.

I’m furious too. Imagine being a gay voter (or anyone else targeted by republicans) voting in good faith for the Democratic candidate and then this betrayal. The Republicans want to strip me of my human rights, and I would never vote for one in a million years.

We’re attempting to hold back an avalanche of right wing extremism in these states. Our democracy is at stake. And this? I’m more depressed over NC and them trying to expel Democratic reps in TN for protesting guns than anything I’ve heard in a while.

Should be assassinated.

Turns out it was Republicans who encouraged her to run in the first place

R6 Size and quality of the husband. Tony where art though?

There has to be a new rule out in place about switching parties once elected. This can not be allowed to continue.

Fkin autotype should read Tony where art thou’

R47 Would you say the same if Republicans were switching to Democrats. And I hate fkin hate both parties. I’m only partially sympathetic to democrats because of the influence Democratic icons had on me during my younger years.

R45, I’m surprised Reps did this. I thought Dems were the only ones manipulating the other side in 2022.

R50 This is exactly while Ive grown to hate political parties. Propping up some extremist just to have some uninspired ineffective candidate win and unable to accomplish anything in Washington.

Let’s get rid of political parties. Run on your own merit and funded by donations from the people.

Agree, r51. The Reps and Dems are loathsome gutter parties, and I see no difference in them. For each despicable politician on one side, there is an equally despicable politician on the other side.

Bitch runs fraudulently to destroy reproductive rights in the state and we have cunts here with their ridiculous bothsidesism.

Dems sent money to Reps who wanted to destroy reproductive rights in 2022, for the fucking clueless shit stain at r53.

Bothsidesism is alive and well. And you’re too fucking dumb to realize it.

Maybe DL isn’t for you, shitforbrains.

[quote] [R47] Would you say the same if Republicans were switching to Democrats.

Senators Jim Jeffords in Vermont and Arlan Specter in Pennsylvania both left the republican party, In Specter's case almost immediately after election to a new six year term. Jeffords from R to Independent voting with democrats, and Specter from R to D.

Datalounge called them patriotic heroes. Not one suggestion they were blackmailed or bribed. I wonder what's different now.

I've encountered my fair share of Republicock through the years and none of it ever caused a single thought more than there must be a through-line i'm missing as to why these guys think the way that they, but no, just a lot of mildly interesting joes who liked penis and tax cuts equally.

Her cunt is her base of operations, that's obvious. As a former SortaWhore, I can even respect that. How tactical it's tentacles prove to be remain to be fully seen.

Where is cervical cancer when you need her?..

R56 What in the WORLD?

Lawdamercy!

Cunt

“ Where is cervical cancer when you need her?..”, said Hunter to Joe RE Jill

[quote]This is exactly while Ive grown to hate political parties.

Well, you're really dumb, because this tactic usually has worked for Democrats!

What is bullshit is the fact that Dems seem to need to be pulled out of their homes kicking and screaming to vote against criminal, brain dead GOP fascists! No, the state party isn't failing, the voters are failing America and their responsibility as citizens to fucking vote!
