Andrey, I agree with most everything you said. My comments were pointed to the two individuals who are the primary authors of this Substack. One has run for the district before and after some contentious primary coomentary said he would back the nominated candidate. The other is a person who ran against Poindexter. Their invitation for you to post this now is problematic and seems a bit manipulative. I know there are problems with the party and have spoken out about it. However, at this very important moment in our elections, the choices are obvious. Harm can be done in more than one way. I encourage you to continue to speak up and run. Encourage other young people. Learn about other groups that support change. But be mindful of the people you encounter, in all aspects. Take care.
Deb, I made this post on my own time, and my own free will. As stated above, this platform is a place where we can discuss ideas, and give voices to fellow Ohioans and talk about issues in our community no matter how controversial, or the timing of various articles. The Angry Ohioan and Angry Democrat allow me to voice my concerns. Every article, I have written, without input from others. There is nothing suspect here, other than an Angry Ohioan voicing his concerns and the Angry Ohioan giving me a platform to raise those concerns for voters. TO be an informed voter, one must have the entire picture, and it would be anti democratic to not give the voters the full picture of a candidate, regardless of what party they are on. Change starts when we hold one another accountable.
Why now? Why not in previous years have you made these comments? Have you attempted to be a part of improving the party? I agree, changes are necessary. There is much that is not conducive to what we should seek for fair consideration. But now? You bemoan Poindexter when you know the opponent?! Please. Too late and harmful.

Who are you writing this to? You know this is a post from a candidate in this race.. correct?
I remember a promise by one of you that is a part of this Substack to support whomever was elected in the primary.
First, I didn’t run for Congress in the primary. I could not have made that promise.
Second, posting the words of a write in candidate that is having problems get is message out is literally why this exists.
Not you. The persons who usually author this Substack. Why are they asking you to do this now? Suspect. Look back.
