Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST :  We live in a deep red state and he intends to run for the house as a democrat. Except his views clash with just about every person here and the odds of him getting elected are close to none. I hate to be so blunt but if he pulls this off it would be a MAJOR upset. He compares himself to Alexandria Ocasio-cortez but she was competing against another Democrat, not someone of an opposite party. I've tried talking to him about how unfeasible this is but he's adamant about it.

  I work and theoretically make enough to support both of us but that's a situation we shouldn't be in the first place. I don't believe I'm the asshole, it's just such a long shot why even bother at all?
