Why is it an issue that she is affiliated with Trump?
If anything, this is a great development for Democrats. Loomer is incompetent. So we should hope that Trump is listening to her

Name the criminal statute he should be charged with violating.
Agreed that he likely does not have a 1st amendment defense. But you still need a specific criminal statute to charge him with. I am unaware of any that he has likely violated with his xenophobic remarks
Demagoguery that targets a marginalized group is an American tradition. It is unlikely that he committed any crime
You realize that by demanding people shut up about genocide, you’ve actually incentivized users to talk about genocide, right?
that’s not an option
Why?
It is a viable option. There is nothing preventing the Democrats from opposing genocide
Biden could do so tomorrow. Harris could then continue that policy
She will have the same position on genocide as Biden
Kamala will be the same as Biden on practically every issue
Which overall, is fine.
But on this issue of genocide, is damning
I want zero genocide
The Democrats want genocide
The Republicans want genocide
I want zero genocide
and/or
“And/or” is grammatically incorrect. It should be “or” because “or” does not preclude the possibility of both being present
Yeah my point is that voters did show up. Dems did historically well in 2022 for an incumbent party
Its just that the structure of our electoral politics favors rural areas and gerrymandered districts. Which currently means the red team benefits. Which isn’t the fault of recent voters
You’re blaming an individual for the actions of a group that they are not a part of and did not participate in. That’s collective guilt
In what way was it more progressive than Medicare and Medicaid?
Lyndon Johnson and the Great Society is the high-water mark of progressive domestic legislation. Nothing in the 60 years since then is remotely close - quite the opposite, actually
Biden did historically well in the midterms tbh. If it wasn’t for gerrymandering and a population capped House, Dems would still have complete control of Congress
What evidence is there that Kamal will even try to pass an agenda that is similar to what Walz did in Minnesota?
I think Walz is the most progressive governor in the country and would love to see his policies implemented on a national level. What evidence is there that Kamala’s administration will even attempt to enact those policies? She has been light on policy, with the exception of supporting Israel and building the wall via the bipartisan immigration bill that the Dems are now running on.
I’m assuming Tester wins in Montana and dems have a blue house and 50/50 senate. But even with that, idk why we would presume she would be as progressive as Walz
Why are you utilizing collective guilt in your argument?
I agree. But the question is just do we want to organize under the blue team or under the red team/MAGA team.
I agree those are bad options. And I agree with the concern that many libs will just check out and go back to brunch if Kamala wins.
So it depends if you think Trump would be so bad that he would remove the little that is left of the ability of the working class to organize. We would become similar to Hungary under Orban in terms of centralized power with a deferential judiciary. That seems like it would be worse than 4 more years of Biden+'s blue team nonsense
You can do all of that and still vote for the blue team.
We all need to organize and work to strengthen unions. We need to do that. So the choice is just do we want to do that under a blue team presidency or a red team/MAGA presidency
Blue team seems much more currently amenable to unionization. So that seems like it would be the superior conditions for us to organize under.
Wristwatches don’t have the negative psychologically addictive and anxiety-producing effects of smartphones
especially her being the first ever presidential candidate to mention security and self determination of Palestinians in a speech
She did?
What are the enumerated elements of that per the statute, and how did Vance violate them?
