Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives have condemned a raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home as “deeply disturbing” and accused the Trump administration of a “rogue abuse of power” just weeks ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Let’s see if they do anything besides strong words and maybe some paddles.

    Well its not up to you, finitebanjo. The dems dont have the votes to lose their progressive voting block and still win elections-- even against trump-- so they can choose to do their effing jobs or they can lose. We’re well aware you’ll vote for them either way, thats factored into the math already.

    And you can call people names all day finitebanjo, no one could possibly care any less what centrist armchair generals like yourself think. All you lot do is lose and cave constantly. You centrists are a complete clownshow.

      Kreskin your post and comment history are visible. Anybody can just click on your name and see that your whole account exists just to denigrate democrats. You’re a bad faith accelerationist. That’s not me calling you a name, that’s all your posts and comments outing you for what you are.

          Then admit you’re just as willing as MAGA to sacrifice all the people that maga intend to kill because your stance helps maga kill all those people. Congratulations, you’re a fascist accelerationist, not an ally, and you deserve whatever the republicans do to us because you’re actively working towards it.

              Then stop trusting the lie that democrats are doing nothing. First explain what power they currently have. Then explain all the legislation brought forward by both parties during this Trump admin and who voted for what. Then do the same for the four years of the Biden administration. Then the previous Trump admin. Then the Obama admin. If you’ve gotten half that far and you still think there’s any legitimacy to both sides being the same then you’re a gigantic fucking idiot that fundamentally doesn’t understand any goddamn function of politics and government and shouldn’t be allowed to have opinions about things they’re spectacularly fuck-ignorant about. If you’re not spectacularly fuck-ignorant then you’re just engaging in bad faith as an accelerationist. Any which way, you help republicans and hurt all vulnerable people with your dumbfuck takes. People like you are as stupid as you think MAGA is.

        I’m well aware that I keep my comment list open. People who are honest about their positions and have no shenanigans to hide tend to leave their comments open.

        Whats a “bad faith accelerationist” exectly? One who is not commited to true accelerationism? Or are you trying to say any accelerationist are bad faith?

        I wont lift a finger to help dems until they stop it with the war crimes and embrace what used to be the core or the Democratic party platform. And the republicans are a completely lost cause and not worth addressing at all. So I yell at dems to do the right thing, and I promise them that until they do I sit on the couch. I dont ever vote for republicans. If thats bad faith to you, then I think your “faith” is worthless slave-like drivel.

          Anyone who genuinely equates republicans and democrats is an idiot working for MAGA. If you didn’t exist in bad faith you’d know the parties aren’t the same, since their voting records are public. But you’re not engaging in good faith. If your position isn’t “prevent republicans from holding power by any means necessary” then you’re an accelerationist. If you don’t believe in strategic voting and harm reduction and the spoiler effect then you’re engaging in bad faith and are an accelerationist. That’s your whole account. You’re a bad faith MAGAt bot actively working to elect republicans. Now call in your little bitch brigade or use your alts to upvote your position like it’s the sane take, you fuckers do that shit constantly here.

            edible_funk, your making room for people who are traitors to the old Democratic party platform and stand for nothing much unless its pro-grenocide, cashing checks from the wealthy, clamping down hard on free speech and whistle blowers, being soft on civil rights and soft on brutality of peaceful law abiding immigrants is exactly why the party is in the shitter. You and the idiot centrist leaders are the real problem here.

            Harris lost voters off the base in every single demographic last election except a single point gain on college educated white males. Every single other subgroup were less supportive of her “platform”-- a “platform” the dem leaders continue to just double down on and not change at all. Notably, she lost ground arcoss black voters and female voters across the board. How can the party win doing the same old stuff that no one trusts them on now? What clearer signal do they need that they need to adapt and change? We have polls, we have election results. What the eff else do you need to see to conclude change is needed?

            Changing nothing is an obvious path to losing again. I think they need to change, you think they dont. Thats fine, I’m not responsible for your bad choices. If my arguing for the dems to get a platform that can win is me being a bad faith accelerationist, whatever the ff that means, then fine, Im a bad faith accelerationist. But you’re a centrist who will lead us to another loss. I’d rather be the accelerationist in that equation.

                  Oh so you’re just totally full of shit and not worth bothering with.

                  You: Dems do nothing!

                  Your first link: Dems split the MAGAt vote, preventing republican consolidation.

                  You’re just another bad faith fuck working for MAGA. I hope you live in a deep red town in a deep red state so you might have consequences for your actions.
