[Peace] [Peace-discuss] Primary election day

[David Johnson]

Can't say that I agree with your analysis about Davis Carl, but what seems almost certain is that with the election of Londrigan and Pritzger, we will have two more years of Davis and 4 more years of Rauner.
I will be voting for none of the above in the 13th Congressional race and the Governor's race.

Both the only anti-war candidate, David Gill, and the candidate of the 'intelligence community' [CIA et al.], pro-war Jon Ebel, seem to have been beaten in today's election for the Democratic nomination for Congress in Illinois' 13th Congressional district (with about 14% of the vote, each).

But the winner, DNC candidate Betsy Dirksen Londrigan, is pro-war - and should be opposed. It seems the only way to do that is to support (and vote for) the Republican incumbent, Rodney Davis.

Davis' predecessor, Republican Tim Johnson, was elected as a pro-war candidate. (I ran against him as a Green.) But in office, Tim changed his mind, and went so far as to join a suit against the illegal invasion of Libya.

Given that we must oppose the Democratic party's continuing hysterical war provocations against Russia (and China) - from 'Russiagate on - AWARE should support Davis against a pro-war Democrat and urge him to follow his predecessor's example.
