Why use the name "Rose"?

Meaning: Democratic Socialist
The rose emoji is the best representation for the symbol of the political group, Democratic Socialists of America, or DSA.
One user, Keith Spencer, who uses the rose in his Twitter handle, knows the long history of the red rose used for labor groups and social democrats. For him the emoji connects him to like-minded people.
"I thought it seemed like a good idea to help us find each other," he said in an email. "It has the added benefit of being subtle enough that you can identify yourself as a socialist without, say, a random stranger noticing and then trolling you for it."
Thomas Moore, a 20-year-old college student and self-proclaimed activist who has since changed his handle emoji from a rose to a red balloon, said he had put the rose in his handle for its meaning beyond DSA, "The fragility of the rose represents the concern for the welfare of the downtrodden, its petals are symbolic of the ever growing following the movement has."
The Democratic Socialists of America have embraced the rose emoji to match the group's logo and identity.
Agreed. How anti-vax stuff ever actually gained traction is something that is just baffling to me.The entire country needs to emulate MS and WV on vaccination policy.
No joke.

They usually have roses in their twitter names. The rose has long been a symbol of socialism/social democracy.
Thanks for the info.
Oh my god, he defended Epstein? No
wonder he's such an asshole.
Which incumbents have been ousted in the open primary system. Eric Swalwell is the only one who comes to mind, but 2012 also shifted a ton of the lines so a ton of incumbents weren't running in districts where they had run before in and only represented a fraction of their new districts.The statistics don't bare witness to that. California's modified open primary system has knocked more incumbents out.
Feinstein just happens to have her hands down everybody's pants (and vice versa), which is what's required of her in CA's system.
lolWait a minute.
I had the flu this week.
When I read a tweet that said something along the lines of Klobuchar eating a salad with her comb and then making an aid clean it, I thought I was in the midst of a fever dream.
...that happened?

So it's becoming increasingly obvious that Manafort isn't linked as closely with Trump as previously hoped.
It looks like most of Trump's crimes fall under Michael Cohen's umbrella of typical campaign finance crimes as opposed to giant international conspiracy to be elected president.
Unless there is still a shit load of stuff Mueller hasn't let out of the bag yet.
If that's the case then why does Trump keep saying nice things about Manafort and dangling pardons his way? Wouldn't he just completely disown him if they weren't closely linked?
Can someone explain the appeal of being anti-vaccine? Is there some hidden ulterior motive that i'm missing? Because it's almost always conservative people and republicans seem to be encouraging the behavior.
Looks like Harris is getting a pretty good turnout for her town hall in Ankeny, IA.

It's a rapidly growing suburb so apparently a lot. Population is 65,000.

The popular image of America's suburbs as a realm of swing voters, moderates, and independents is wrong, a new poll suggests. In fact, suburban voters are much less likely to be political independents than either urban or rural voters. Only 15 percent of the poll's suburban respondents were independents, lower than the rate among rural or urban residents.
What makes the suburbs politically distinct in America may not be moderation, but rather a more even split between Democrats and Republicans than exists in left-leaning cities or right-leaning rural areas.
Residents of denser suburbs held beliefs more like those of city-dwellers than those of residents of low-density suburbs. (That echoes the Congressional Density Index, which found that districts composed primarily of low-density suburbs were more Republican than districts made up of higher-density suburbs.)
Researchers also looked at suburban residents based on whether they had ever lived in a city. Politically, Americans who moved from cities into the 'burbs voted much more like their former urban neighbors than their new suburban ones. Suburbanites who had never lived in a city were closely divided between Democrats and Republicans in the 2018 election, but ex-city dwellers voted overwhelmingly for Democrats.
But the poll's results suggest that a lot of political differences between rural, urban, and suburban areas have to do with what kinds of people live there, rather than some characteristic of those types of neighborhoods.
For example, rural Americans are 24 percentage points more likely to approve of President Donald Trump than urban residents. But after controlling for the higher share of Republicans in rural areas, they're only 4 points more likely to back Trump—not a statistically significant difference.

Yeah, i just find it hard to believe that Manafort was doing this all behind Trumps back.
Trump has been involved financially with the russians for years, We have trump talking about the release of hillary's emails before they were releassed, we have emails of Trump Jr enthusiastically trying to collude with russia, we have cohen in russia trying to work on what would have been by far the biggest deal Trump has ever made and trump publicly lying about it, he could have had picked anyone in the world to be his campaign manager and he picked Manafort and continues to defend manafort. We have the trump inauguration with russian fingerprints all over it, russian friendly administration policies and decisions, and of course Trumps absolute refusal to say anything negative about russia whatsoever even though he knows it hurts him politically and opens him up to scrutiny to people on both ends of the politcal spectrum.
If I were Trump and there was nothing tying me to Manafort's activities with Russians then I would be out there today and ever since he was charged saying "Thank you FBI and Special Council for exposing this spy who made his way into my campaign!! You guys are the best in the world, thank you so much!" Not saying "Paul Manafort is a very good guy and this is so unjust."
Can one gleam a posters intent, when they post nothing but a tweet somebody else wrote?You understand southpaw is being extremely sarcastic here, yes?
Possibly unanswerable question: Do anti-vaxxers think getting a vaccine can give you autism no matter what the age? Was pondering this hearing about unvaccinated teenagers who want to defy their parents.
