Slight and bespectacled, Fishback has a geeky charisma and the verbal dexterity of a former competitive high school debater. His policies are a mishmash of extreme conservatism and economic progressivism; nationalism tinged with socialism, if you will. He believes that Florida’s gun laws are too strict, its abortion laws too lax and its public teacher pay too low. He’s called for a 50 percent sin tax on OnlyFans creators and $10,000 grants to high-performing high school graduates to buy homes or start businesses. Though he’s the son of an immigrant — his mother is Colombian — he wants a total immigration moratorium.

Most of all, Fishback has made contempt for Israel and its American lobby a centerpiece of his campaign, constantly reminding audiences how much America spends on Israel while its own needs are ignored.

    Why is there no mention of his grooming and pedo behavior?

    Keep these creeps away from power, have we not learned this lesson?

        Where? I don’t have time to read the whole thing, but I didn’t see anything in the first half dozen paragraphs. And CTRL-F for pedo, groom, and abuse had nothing, and ‘child’ only had one entry where a supposed mandami supporter was wanting to change parties to vote for the Nazi shit.

          Don’t have time to read the article, have time to complain about the thing.

          Think about your life style choices

        Yeah and? Going into schools as a mentor role and coming out with a “romantic” relationship with one of the students whom he met when she was 16/17 is what id call grooming behavior.

        Its not ok and it should not be glossed over in one paltry sentence.

        This guy is a creep.
