1. Why?

[Dr. Shepper]

2. He says it's because of the far left

Pressuring him about his pro-life stance.

3. BTW - there are so few far left

Here in ND, at least ones that speak up. It’s hard for me to believe he was pressured by them.

4. And "pressuring" someone about their anti-women's rights stance...

...is not indicative of the far left, either.

[Dr. Shepper]

5. Exactly!

Cara Mund is the independent in the race. She is pro-choice, a recent grad of Harvard law, and a former Miss America.

6. I hadn't heard of this guy before tonight, but holy shit:

Good riddance!

[Dr. Shepper]

7. I know. He is catholic

And pro-life. Apparently, dem leadership wanted him
gone because of it. But then why was he nominated in the first place?

[W_HAMILTON]

9. Biden is a Catholic as well, but that doesn't mean...

...he believes he should impose his personal religious beliefs onto others.

The view that overturning Roe v. Wade was a GOOD THING should be an absolute non-starter in the Democratic Party right now, and if the North Dakota Democratic Party ran him off because of it, GREAT.

8. I'd say let's just give ND to Canada, but no way they'd take em.

And to think just 12 years ago we had 2 Dem Senators in ND that helped pass the ACA.

Edit: Well, at least now maybe the least MAGAt candidate has a chance. (assuming the Dems and sane R's vote that way)

10. I'd say let's just have one Dakota. Who needs two Dakotas?

[aeromanKC]

11. And 4 Senators!!

I can understand the Framers coming up with the Connecticut Compromise to give All states equal representation in the Senate and representation based on population for the House, BUT BUT BUT the small states/minority do not deserve a second bite at that apple with the filibuster in the Senate!!

[msongs]

12. one hears that dakota territory was split in 2 precisely to get 4 senate seats not 2 nt

[brooklynite]

13. I'll stick with reality: two Dakotas is what we have.

[Scrivener7]

16. Gee, really?

[vlyons]

14. No let's give it all back to the Sioux, Chippewa, and other native Americans there

US stole it from them in the first place. God knows they would take a lot better care of tghe environment and people.

15. His twitter account was a joke obviously outreach wasn't in his forte
