And his principled stance against a U.S. funded genocide doesn’t, perhaps, give this protest greater validity than, say any random policy protest? He was trying to get Americans to send a message that we don’t want our tax dollars used for famine and genocide and collective punishment of civilians.

I’m disappointed in you Ali Velshi. You of all people know that it is a reciprocal relationship. You also know just how high the stakes are. We cannot be divided on issues and save democracy!

I agree with you. Which is why I choose fighters whatever their ideological position as long as they are fighting for democracy

So it was okay for him & others to use the most important election of all for their protest & risk losing everything we have—our very democracy—but our party leaders must risk having socialism stick to the party if they endorse him & hurting their chances of winning Congress back in the midterms?

I dont think we need to discuss Mamdani anymore. We both know where we both stand on the matter.

I’m good with that.

But thanks for the hearty conversation

Thanks to you too. Anytime!

Special education is more my specialty.

Happy to discuss that, though you are probably more of an expert at it than I am

The message IS the message received, you know that. Helping to turn attitudes against Democrats got you Trump. It is what it is.

Dirtbag leftists got us Trump. Twice.

Cori Bush is an idiot too, but you didn't see Democrats in St. Louis putting up a 3rd party candidate against her. Run someone against him in the next primary then. That's how we got rid of Cori.

It’s a mayoral race. There’s an independent moderate running. There’s no chance the Republican will win. He’s polling the lowest out of all the candidates.

Seriously? Primaries are to let the PEOPLE IN THE PARTY MAKE THEIR CHOICE. You sound like someone in a communist country comrade. 🤡
