  • The Democrats position on Israel is abhorrent, but I think it had very little to do with their electoral losses. When you talk about how during your 4-years in the presidency, that everything is the best it’s ever been yet material conditions do not reflect that, I don’t see how you can expect to defend the status quo against anyone.

    Add in the debacle of having a public primary, then changing the candidate afterwards, shows voters that you aren’t even pretending to follow “the rules” for a democratic process, even if you are totally in the clear legally.

    It’s bad optics, and it tells voters that you don’t really care and can’t be trusted.





  • I feel like the next time a democracy wants to protect itself from fascism, that the “constitutional” document should dictate what members of the government can and can’t do. And that the punishment for advocating for fascist policies is dismissal from the government forever.

    If we took America’s Bill of Rights for example, advocating for laws that are on the surface against one of the amendments should result in that representative being removed from office. If Congress passes a law (not an amendment, but a law) then when that law is declared unconstitutional, they should all be dismissed with prejudice.

    The right to privacy should be enshrined and people like her should be removed from office and never given a platform again.
