As a Wisconsin resident with a vested interest in the outcome of the Johnson vs. Barnes Senate race, I refuse to have my attention drawn away by the bright, shiny object that the GOP waves in front of me and its call of "Look, squirrel!"
Those with a sufficiently long attention span instead will stop to think that Johnson is a 12-year incumbent with a track record. The vote should be foremost a referendum on his job performance and whether he deserves to continue in that position. Beware any candidate who chooses aggressive attack ads over promoting his/her own body of work and telling us why he/she deserves another term. It reeks of having something to hide. And as we know, Johnson has a great deal to hide, starting with his lack of control over his own mouth and his record of failure in adequately representing our state and nation and ending with his stance as a Trump apologist and the blind eye he has turned toward the January 6 Capitol riot. That is what really is on the ballot. Unless we choose to ignore it.
How sad for us all that so many people can be duped and manipulated so easily by irrational fear and hatred, instead of taking an objective look at all of the issues on the table and the job performance of the person who already is being compensated to do the work. In this case Johnson is our second-worst enemy. We ourselves are the foremost offenders when we allow such a slimy and disingenuous tactic to gain traction and ultimately decide the outcome. Shame on us collectively if we enable Johnson for another six years with no accountability for the many serious mistakes that he has made in our name.

Somebody will be along shortly to say it's akshually the fault of the Democrats for not putting up a nearly perfect candidate.
To my squishy R friends, it's not the Democrats that have put us in this position.
