My name is Ted Curry and I’m running for District 16 South Dakota Senate.

@harryr33 @Yascha_Mounk White Supremacy attracts those who know they lack individual accomplishments, and instead reaches back to claim the achievements of white individuals as part of the “white book” of greatness. This is why identity politicsis dangerous.

@Yascha_Mounk @ezraklein just heard part 1 of your conversation on @thegoodfight, But living in #SouthDakota both culture and economy seem foreign, other, or unrecognizably American to the ppl here. @realDonaldTrump said to us: it’s not your fault and I will be ruthless for you!

@SenJoniErnst running scared on @FaceTheNation! Running from the @NRA and @realDonaldTrump on guns, trade, and trans in military.

I enjoyed our quick stop in Yankton yesterday. I’m looking forward to returning in the weeks ahead to spend more time hearing about the issues important to everyone in the River City! #Sutton4SD #SouthDakotaStrong

Wait, I'm so inured to the President's blather that I missed the most shocking part of this tweet: Russia can "help solve problems with... Ukraine"?!

I think Russia *is* the problem with Ukraine. https://t.co/UpfPeqsfe3

The People vs. Democracy reviewed in the @nytimes by @jenszalai:

"Mounk ... shows how populists can undermine democracy. One of the many things to recommend this clarifying book is its international scope ... Mounk is a clear and often forceful writer."

@SoDakDems It’s going to take exception candidates to soften the hearts of die-hard republicans. Conner has shown us the way: Military, prosecutor, reasonable. We have to become the adults in the room.

[Billie Sutton @billiehsutton]

I spoke to @SoDakPB about the budget negotiations last week: “You have one faction of folks making decisions without the input of a whole group of people.” This lack of input from all sides is problematic to the process. https://t.co/v8jzc0Iu43

@Yascha_Mounk if there’s one thing we’re learning about #populism is it’s inherent penchant for over promising and under governing. Watch for @realDonaldTrump to switch from blaming everyone to asking for more power.

"All the characteristics and features on the surface are of democracy,” said a former Fidesz lawmaker. “But behind it there is only one party and only one truth.” https://t.co/ZDMU2hMArM

@Yascha_Mounk @billiehsutton @dfpblog My take: Our SD Legislators lack imagination and we’re losing the 21st because of it. https://t.co/Lw99ex8Peo

Great turnout for the first Legislative Cracker Barrel in @VermillionSD - awaits appreciate our District Legislatures willing to show up to listen, discuss and inform.

[Ted Curry @currydistrict16]

@NateWelch @VermillionSD Cordial and informative. Nobody asked about the “Yes means No” Bill for IMs. Also, Rep. Ring said our budget is in crisis, so is the answer less voter involvement and more guns? No wonder 93% of SoDaks are against the pay raise.

I'm glad @therotarian printed these letters in their December newsletter. It took way too long (and a US Sup. Ct. case) to let women join Rotary Clubs, let's not keep making the same mistake with our leadership.

@realDonaldTrump @Evan_McMullin Trump is eroding our ability to hold any politician accountable.

[Ted Curry @currydistrict16]

Do you remember when we killed Nazis (WWII), hated Russians (Cold War), disqualified politicians for affairs (Gary Hart et al), and trusted the FBI? @realDonaldTrump what have you done to us? #norms #SecretSociety #MuellerTime #StormyAffair #ReleaseTheMemo
