Most libs that I know had conservative parents and some of the conservatives I know have liberal parents. Kids don’t always turn out like their parents

What about the officers that she injured? Did Brian Sicknick family receive $5 million?

One can argue our president (Republican) at the time didn’t take the treat too seriously. Regardless, the ball was dropped and a horrible attack took place. That’s what happened in a nutshell!

I’ll tell you the true story behind 9/11. We armed radical Islamist, OBL to defeat Soviets. They did. Then they decided to fight us. Because why not Fast forward to 2001. They were plotting an attack. Our Intel knew something was up but didn’t know when and how.

This person identified as a women according to news reports. She was a trans person. Clearly this is a very troubled individual. We have a gun problem in this country, not a trans problem. We should all stand against any anti-trans sentiments.

Unnecessary! I met a police officer at a wedding that told me that there is pressure to back fellow officers even when they cross the line. My takeaway: bad apples do harm, the system corrupts the good ones, and in the end no apples remain good.

In politics, you must always try to expand your electorate not limit it by launching personal attacks. I have made my point. Not engaging with you anymore. I wish you well!
raj-virginia.bsky.social (@raj-virginia.bsky.social) reply parent
My original point still stands—we can’t tear down Democratic candidates we don’t like. You can say, “I don’t like Pete because he wasn’t able to address racial tensions or didn’t have great ideas on addressing the homeless issue in South Bend. I support X because I think they are better record.
raj-virginia.bsky.social (@raj-virginia.bsky.social) reply parent
I supported Bernie in 2020 until it was clear he wasn’t going to the nominee. Then I switched to Biden—not my first choice. In America, you support the closest candidate to your position. Seeking perfection will lead to electoral defeat.
raj-virginia.bsky.social (@raj-virginia.bsky.social) reply parent
If you think I don’t know all the facts, please share. I’m always ready to change my mind if the argument is compelling. You can’t make a compelling argument by saying I’m “not educated or well read.”
raj-virginia.bsky.social (@raj-virginia.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m not sure what reaction you are referring to. I haven’t seen (I checked) anything Pete said or did after Eric Logan’s death that suggests he’s anti-Black.
raj-virginia.bsky.social (@raj-virginia.bsky.social) reply parent
Clearly Pete has challenges reaching black voters. That’s good enough reason for me to not support him in the primary. But calling him anti-Black is playing right into the hands of the actual right-wing. You are just proving ammunition for the right to spread misinformation.
raj-virginia.bsky.social (@raj-virginia.bsky.social) reply parent
Tension between mostly White cops and the Black community in South Bend predates Pete’s time as mayor. It’s fair to say he failed to address it and you can choose not to support him for that—but that doesn’t make him anti-Black.
raj-virginia.bsky.social (@raj-virginia.bsky.social) reply parent
Pete having 0% Black supporters doesn’t make him anti-Black—that’s a ridiculous claim.

raj-virginia.bsky.social (@raj-virginia.bsky.social) reply parent
If this is all you have, you just proved my point. We lose because we tear down our own. Just ask Hillary Clinton. She would have been 1000x better than Trump. Couldn’t vote in 2016, I would not have supported her in the primary but definitely would have supported her in the general election.

4) anti poor bigotry—none of his economic policies roll back the welfare system. I don’t think he wants to expand it significantly either. But that hardly makes him anti poor.
raj-virginia.bsky.social (@raj-virginia.bsky.social) reply parent
2) anti-black bigotry—only problematic comments he made was back in 2011 regarding education. If that’s all you have, you got nothing. 3) anti trans bigotry—nothing much on this
raj-virginia.bsky.social (@raj-virginia.bsky.social) reply parent
1) never heard of “capitalist liberal” before but nothing wrong with being a capitalist or liberal. I’m both and I support universal healthcare and universal education (including higher ed), and Social Security etc. This doesn’t make Pete a right winger. He is center-left.
raj-virginia.bsky.social (@raj-virginia.bsky.social) reply parent
My point proved! This is why we lost and we will continue to lose. Pete is not a right winger. He is center left on economic issues. Makes sense, he is from Indiana

This is so true! My fear is our nominee will be damaged by our own side before the election. I’ve already seen left-leaning podcasts attacking Pete Buttigieg for his wording on Gaza. Support your candidate—don’t tear others down.

Dems are playing by the old rules. There was no win for Biden unless he was ready to get really dirty. New game: you get in the mud. Selectively release info. Do what Trump is doing. You don’t play dirty, you loose

Complimenting Trump how? I’m all for manipulating Trump. I think that’s possible with access. My feeling is that the last person in the room gets their way with Trump. Access is the problem for Dems/Libs. But yes, given the chance to manipulate Trump, I would
