What a weird thing to say.

I hope someone defends them self from her.

They will be fine, thanks to the dogged efforts of Vance's political opponents.

Probably.

They don't need a riot this time. Mike Johnson will refuse to recognize the results and then the house will vote for the next president with each state receiving one vote. Republicans control a majority of house delegations, so they will vote for Trump.

The riot was a smokescreen. It was to buy time to strong arm the state legislatures and convince Mike Pence to not certify the results. With Johnson on board, they can forget the smokescreen and just steal the election in plain sight.

They only need the house of representatives to steal a presidential election. The only thing that could stop it is some house Republicans voting with Democrats to remove Mike Johnson as speaker. (Or, I guess, finding their conscience and voting for Harris as a state delegation.

I mean, I hope this is true.

Fair assessment. Feel free to vote for the socialist candidate.

It's not weird if you agree with the premise in general just not her in specific.

As if the only lives that matter are Palestinians.

She was on the left end of the Senate. If she is a moderate, so is the whole democratic Senate.

She could prove me wrong, but there is a lot of evidence that she is more progressive than Biden, who was already much more progressive than we thought when we all held our noses and voted against trump in 2020.

There is no shame anymore. Or maybe there is too much shame, and people repress thinking about it because it's too painful.

We live in a democracy. We have a representative from of government. These elected officials represent us, they reflect our values. Yes, even if we did not vote for them. Your neighbors are not aliens or NPCs. They are your community.

I cannot contenence choosing to not vote and pretending you are not a part of it all. Long ago I came to terms that many of my neighbors wish I did not exist. I'm trans, and they wish I would stay inside a closet, a basement, or a grave. I take comfort that many others recognize my humanity and celebrate my achievements.

Our government reflects our values. If you don't like that, then work to change it. Tea partiers did, and they shifted an entire party towards racism and authoritarianism. Maga fans a Qultists worked to make the country reflect their values and now Vannce has a chance to turn the white house into the Handmaid's Tale.

If that happens then it's our fault. I can't pretend that people are not my neighbors just because they think I'm a groomer or a predator no matter how wrong they are. Neither can anyone else pretend that the electorate is not voting for dictatorship.
