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?

When he says "left" he is referring to the neoliberal establishment.

He understands that these are not the same thing. But his base doesn't

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

"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
