Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.
I get it and agree things need to change on a larger scale. This debate happens every cycle but whatever is going on right now, IMO it’s better to put energy into supporting your candidate. He seems to be generating a lot of enthusiasm. For me the top goal is getting Collins OUT.
Uh…people die unexpectedly (young people too). Throwing Ginsberg in is another generalization that ignores McConnell’s unprecedented manipulation of the nomination. No one has a crystal ball. So only “young” people should run? How young? Should they have health requirements? No smoking? C’mon.
I hate the repetitious texts and emails too but I hate fascism more. I’ll pressure a Dem Congress to pass campaign finance reform - if we actually have free and fair elections again. (& I was talking to the original poster about the primary process because he’s suggesting she shouldn’t run at all.)
Did you sign up for Act Blue to donate? They sell the lists. Politically active people care about flipping key swing seats to retake Congress. I target donations for the most impact for House and Senate races. Campaign finance reform is critical, but right now fundraising is a political reality.
Generalize much? You going to say that to Bernie & Liz too? btw: you’re going to age too. I hope people won’t blame and dismiss you for all the world’s problems when you get there. Judge individual records, not large groups of people as a monolith. It’s simplistic and lazy.
#JDVance made jokes about the extrajudicial killings of unidentified individuals in boats in international waters but he suddenly has a problem with “powerful people calling for political violence.” (Not to mention militarizing U.S. cities.) Spare us the “pearl-clutching” hypocrisy dude.
Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?
HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.
"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."
You can always count on JD Vance to deflect any appalling, indefensible Trump or GOP issue with an irrelevant, hypocritical attack on the opposition: “I refuse to join the pearl clutching when powerful people call for political violence.” 🙄
President Obama endorses Prop 50 — the California redistricting effort:
"California, the whole nation is counting on you."
"Democracy is on the ballot Nov. 4. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years."
Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...
