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

You realize that by demanding people shut up about genocide, you've actually incentivized users to talk about genocide, right?
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
What are the enumerated elements of that per the statute, and how did Vance violate them?
