I love how you referenced the book title that sums up your thoughts. I often cite the title of a book my college advisor wrote that does the same: The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't by Robert I. Sutton, PhD. Basically, don't put up with sharing space with jerks.
Regrettably, this tracks with what I’ve read and thought about Varet. Yet another wealthy, thin-skinned businessperson whose reach exceeds their grasp. Having the money to run well doesn’t mean you should run. I haven’t written her off because I still have time to be persuaded but she checks several of my boxes for “Not My Candidate.” So far.
I'm running for local office. I can't talk of where or what position because I need to keep my feed as private as possible because the people who won't want me in that position can use things I've said against me even though they are all true BUT... you will never see Joe Kerr react like Esther. I don't know Lisa Ramirez well enough but you haven't written about her going off Varet-style, so I can imagine she is capable of diplomatic responses IF she bothers with that.
Esther, if you're reading these, you need to calm your jets. I highly recommend short Buddhist meditation. Really, just breathe. No one is worth your time when you act in such ways. Candidate 101: you cannot react. Seriously.
I am disappointed in her attacks on her fellow Dems. Do NOT call them unpatriotic. They are both amazing people. I may not think Joe Kerry is best for the job but I do have great admiration for his career. Lisa Ramirez is an immigration attorney --doing great patriotic work.
Not gonna lie, I think your wife's book cover may be better than any of yours. 😆
A couple months ago she was running the most obnoxious ads on Facebook. I commented on one and immediately got a request for a donation. Not likely.
I got a reply saying I was spewing lies about her! Crickets when I asked to be corrected.
The spoiled spoiler! If there are 2 MAGAs on the ballot in Nov for CA40, it’ll be her fault.
