Federal Has Bodnar taken a stance on anything?

Someone please tell me why this guy is getting so much attention. His website is full of the most generic and meaningless statements. He doesn't take a stance on a single issue or propose a single solution. The only reason people seem to be interested in him is because he doesn't have the "Democrat" or "Republican" label. However, he's definitely being marketed as an alternative for Dems which makes him seem more like a spoiler ticket.

Yeah, I'm definitely not hiding my frustration. And it's because I too want to end Republican rule. There's a lot of ways this Bodner bid could go wrong and, as noted above, I don't see anything of substance in his campaign.

A centrist candidate is bad compared to liberal candidates in a state that was purple and is now red? I think folks should travel around the state, out of the big blue dots to understand better.

flipping off the progressives to unsuccessfully move further right to unsuccessfully court centrists is such a winning strategy from democrats country wide, surely it will work this time here too!

Nobody is flipping off progressives. It's called a strategy, to claw back some seats.
