And yet his ratios still aren't great for such a public figure.You never realize how many bots follow Trump until you see how fast he gets likes and comments on all of his posts.

Point out the people who want her to lose her job or fuck offi'm not exaggerating, people here literally do want her to lose her job over comments like this, not just "be a tad more cautious"
but also, if the same people truly supported the diversity she represents, in my opinion theyd be working to amplify and clarify her voice, not tone police it out existence
i mean that she came from a refugee camp... i find that to be an incredibly inspiring journey, but go ahead and belittle it because it was a blue seat
Hot bullshit take right there.
She was also defending the Maduro dictatorship, which in my opinion is indefensible even if she is ignorant on the matter. She's a Congresswoman. She should educate herself before she speaks on hot issues like this. And if she's wrong, she needs to apologize. She didn't.
Because of how amateur hour she is and is causing damage to our party, yes, I do think she should be primaried. I don't want someone who is so shitty at this to be representing Dems in Congress.
actually pretty weird how apparently your position is that no mistakes can be called out to a degree deemed by anyone else to be appropriate if the person making the mistakes is sufficiently "diverse"if the same people truly supported the diversity she represents, in my opinion theyd be working to amplify and clarify her voice, not tone police it out existence
Nazis telling people their opponents to not be anti-semitic lol
What? That is just dumb and bigoted.Oh jeez, I logged into facebook for the first time in a year and saw someone I used to drink with went on an insane rant about how lbgtq community is part of the bourgeois and is no friend to working people.
I hadn't spoken to him in years.
At the same time, I think it's weird to say that money needs to get out of politics, and that the Ukraine, Russia, Saudis, etc are all buying influence, yet somehow Israel is exempt from it. I get the anti-semitic angle, but to ignore the fact that the state of Israel has enormous influence over congress is foolish.Both of these things can be true: 1. Republicans are taking advantage of the situation for political gain, and, whatsmore, it is hypocritical; and 2. The comments have been not great and at the very least she needs to do better on the tweets.
I want to say no, but I could be wrong.I'll play a different game.
Is Maduro still a legitimate president of Venezuela?
Huh...Omar is saying the only reason people support Israel is the "benjamins baby". Lobbying is what lobbyists do.
The Teachers Union lobbying budget is like 5 million dollars - is that bad? Are Dems only supporting teachers because of money?
But the bad part about Omar's insinuation is that that Jewish Money ruling the world is a very very core anti-semitic belief. She can easily make the same point in a better way.
The small nonprofit I used to work at would chronically book rooms too small to make it appear like a madhouse. I hated it because it often meant complete chaos in every aspect.My old job was organizing student events. There really is nothing worse than booking a room too large for the amount of people that actually show up. It's incredibly embarrassing to everyone involved and I can sympathize with Tulsi on this.
I should stop looking at the Off-Topic/Etcetera section. The hangouts are cool, but the OT is just getting worse.

Right? If you're just going to attack everyone who comes around to your view for flip-flopping, there's no incentive for them to do so.Some issues move fast, and thinking changes fast. Progressives should be the ones who can appreciate that better than others.
Are you talking about weed legalization?Some issues move fast, and thinking changes fast. Progressives should be the ones who can appreciate that better than others.
Was her family not Jamaican back when she opposed recreational legalization? :PSome issues move fast, and thinking changes fast. Progressives should be the ones who can appreciate that better than others.
The midterms should be an example of people putting in the work and proving what we can do if we act. I think there is a group of people on this website are just wanting their own narrative to be true.Seriously. I thought the defeatism wave would cool down for a bit after the midterms, but my goodness it's only gotten worse.
It's just constant negativity and panicking.
I have no problem with people changing their mind, I do have problem with people trying to pretend like they didn't change their mind, which is what Kamala Harris is doing here, and that shit is gross.Right?

I think it's okay to question the sincerity sometimes (see Tulsi's night and day shift on LGBT issues), but you don't build a successful social movement from everyone being 100% right from the getgo.
You ain't gonna do the whole "my views have evolved", you gonna straight up jump to "I'm from Jamaica, we love the ganja!" like it's nothing?
I mean, you know there were video cameras in 2014 and there's a record of you talking about this issue, right?
Hahahahahaha
hahahahaha
hahaha
That fact bears mentioning after Ron Gold publicly noted he supports legalization to the KCRA news channel. KCRA then asked Harris about her opinion on the matter. In a video posted Tuesday, Harris laughed and said Gold was entitled to his opinion.
What an abject lack of leadership from the top law enforcement official of the eighth largest economy in the world.
Harris video-taped guffaw is especially galling in the face of the bombshell endorsement of national legalization by the New York Times last week.
During the failed bid to put legalization on the 2014 California ballot, Harris' Office gave a rosy assessment of legalization's benefits.
She hasn't threatened doctors and obstructed the implementation of the people's will like Dan Lungren did in 1996 when Prop 215 passed.
She also did her job and green-lit research hemp for California this year.
Talking about how people only recently came around to an issue is just a standard part of a primary battle. See: everyone here that gives Bernie shit for his views and votes on gun control when he moved from campaigning in Vermont to campaigning nationally. Because people naturally prefer candidates that held their current position for as long as possible.Right?

I mean, she actively campaigned against legalization as recently as 2014. That was an actual campaign issue and she went against it.
Good on her for getting on the right side of history here, but I think she also need to explain how come she was adamantly against it very recently. The fact that she smoked actually make this whole shit worse. Like, you put people in jail for shit you also did and you fought to keep that practice going.
Harris has said California should wait and watch how Colorado resolves issues that arise from its legalization of pot.
I'm not great at understanding the nuances of anti-semitism, but its kind of wild how much a tweet I read as a criticism of the influence of money in politics has exploded into DEFCON 1 level issue.
tbf she co-sponsored Booker's marijuana bill as early as last year. I don't know if she made a statement of public support earlier than that.Talking about how people only recently came around to an issue is just a standard part of a primary battle.

But then you have people misinterpreting even the House results based on their own ignorance. Like some guy the other day was saying the House results weren't important because "it was a good map for Democrats" based on a comment he overheard on CNN.The midterms should be an example of people putting in the work and proving what we can do if we act.

Lmao. I do somewhat laugh when I hear someone in ot talking about the gaming side being trash. Both sides generally have about the same type of discourse.

Yeah it's not an issue for me but in 2010 she supported medical use but not recreational use and helped stop Prop 19. A bit behind the curve but nothing egregious.tbf she co-sponsored Booker's marijuana bill as early as last year. I don't know if she made a statement of public support earlier than that.
Of course, that was probably a move anticipating a presidential run, but it's not like she flipped on this like yesterday.
