Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

[Elky Welky]

Yes it has nothing to do with campaigning to win on the Alme side. The whole strategy is do nothing and say nothing and be the winner by default. He’ll legislate the same way as a token winner with no backbone.

Honestly, this might be the only thing I appreciate about the guy. He's not collecting and wasting anyone's money on promises of rainbows and unicorns and feeding the delusion that this election can be won with a split ticket.

If you don't have to work for it, earn it, or spend any money, then why would you? When the other side is doing such a good job of defeating itself I too would just kick back with a beer and watch it burn.

This is a podcast episode that I did with Seth Bodnar. He is running as an independent candidate for United States Senate.

Most know my frustration and dislike for the symbiotic duopoly of the two party system. It makes me wonder if Montanans are willing to vote independently or if they will fall back to the comfort of their party allegiance. I will be interested to see how Bodnar performs in the upcoming election.

With the stunt that Senator Daines did to handpick a candidate without exposing the candidate to a primary, I’ll be interested to see how many people find that as distasteful as I do. Given the amount of focus and chatter that Republicans are starting to point towards Bodnar, it seems they are more worried about him than they are the Democrat.

Anyhow, here is Seth Bodnar‘s thoughts on hunting, conservation, and public land.

Great show, Randy. It really makes you consider the importance of making your vote count.

So you say you are tired of the two-party? Maybe want more choice? Something like Germany did over the weekend- choices everywhere...

Far-right AfD certainly a big winner, although we have to point out it won mostly in the former East Germany. That a funny thing about the far right, a lot of people are kind of into the authoritarian government thing.

I'm not so sure this is better than the two-party mess we have. But I wish them the best of luck.

The left wing press keeps moving the center more and more left. There isn't a far right. What they call far right is where Obama and Clinton were.

And ... of course, there is nobody more authoritarian than the left as we saw for Covid..

And I thought there were some ignorant statements in the mule deer thread…

That added a lot to the discussion.

Might want to check the dates on some of those actions.
