So...she's a good rep, Kat?
Stay in Texas! Flip a fuckin seat! Or go carpetbag somebody who actually sucks
The answer is likely bc it’s too hard to run against a republican & she knows her only hope to win is dividing the primary vote
Social media’s role in politics has been toxic

Someday folk will learn this is not about helping to get to progress, none of this is new.
Schakowsky, currently representing the district, “has had a pretty great track record on her voting,” Abughazaleh admits. But she is also 80 years old, and hasn’t had a competitive primary in decades. “She’s been a good congresswoman, but I want to be better.”
he has not been effective for a long time, he’s more of a totem.
He misled so many as to how change can come about.
He stopped reading about just when the revolution ends, no further.
Yes. Get rid of all of them. We're only scooping the grim reaper by a couple of years.
Nothing to stop them talking to crowds, and we've gotten that with zero accomplishments since the ACA regardless of their officeholder status.
If a younger progressive tries to gun for Bernie’s seat I’ll have their back, and you know what, Bernie would probably be glad.
Plus she's no Dem if she posts this crap
Don't forget how many idealists have signed on with DNC, whether or not they see its flaws.
Want to come in & bring change? Flip a seat and ally w those that earned the right to help set agenda.
Our faux left foe never considers what comes next, never.
The antisemitism is mere gravy to them. A bonus
Filp a red seat blue otherwise we know exactly who you are.
Abu has done nothing to qualify to seek any position, any.

Love it when that happens.
Point is, Jan is already the real progressive deal.
People not doing their jobs is an improvement.
Absolutely ridiculous
It’s just ageism since schakowsky has a great record

But she won’t win. One reason is that there ate many Jewish voters in her district, and her views and alliances won’t sit well with many.
Netanyahu is the trump of Israel.
The people who most vocally condemn him are also people with the most experience dealing with him- American Jews. Almost all of the pro Palestinian protests you see have a large number of Jewish people there.
Or should we not be anxious to do that?
I will vote for the second option. And so will the majority of others.
Any one connected with the old guard is going to be in trouble.
Like, you don’t gotta be a genius to see, having this chick in congress is gonna win support.

The youth of today have to learn how to use data and shape their arguments into small sound bites.
FDR never had or needed to do that.
and everyone's attention in one place. Yes.
Communication is part art part science/linguistics.
Our "side" has a lot to learn to improve on this effort.

Kamala DID NOT abandon her base.
it just fades off into nothing and there's no prompt to expand, read more, log in, subscribe, pay or anything else that might be stopping me from reading it
Macklemore is the only dude with any credibility.

She’s more than capable of learning the ropes of Congress and legislating once elected

I could have sworn there was another episode, too, but maybe I'm thinking of another podcast.
Here it is! She was on Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff
I gave and gave and they rigged the election.
Not getting anymore of my money.
Until I see the same ppl demanding she retire bc she’s 80 despite her great record also say 83 year old Bernie has to retire this is just ageism.
Get back to me when he gets primaried by some new blood.
BUT, let her run! Prove us wrong! I'll be open - but I will admit, her start has her way behind to get my vote ...
And moreover she knows how to manage levers of power when out of power better than any democrat
Since then, a spotlight occasionally highlights those that politick.
What you then see is a form of "Politician's got Talent" - any performance necessary to make you think they are actually doing something useful.
Hope that helps clarify
If you can find that your politician as voted along corporate lines. You should go after their seat.
But we need fighters with respected critical thinking
I'm grateful to everyone building power outside of Ds and Rs.
Does our government rate the currency you rely upon?
I am not arguing FOR big money in elections, I’m just saying there’s only so much “grass roots” money that can fuel all these elections. Is there a risk that the billionaire you think is “good” (think Mark Cuban), and they turn out to be not so good, yep, but if we lose, it’s worse
I contend that the Democratic Party's commitment to big donors is a net negative at the ballot box. It's a dealbreaker for millions.
I do believe Democrats need to understand we need to see them fight
New voices are important
I do believe @schakowsky.house.gov has been loud for her district
See what she has done

Just do it.
Being young is not a qualification. Having a vagina is not a qualification.
Please grow up before you vote.
But to be a doctor, lawyer, accountant, psychologist, teacher - people who directly affect a small number of people requires a formal training.
But to be a politician who can affect 100s of millions all you think they need is youth, an opinion and a vagina?
Reducing a person to their age and genitalia for the sake of argument. Pretty vile stuff dude :-)
Do you really think I've never voted for anyone over 30 or with a penis? :-D
(hint: I have)
Because we need more stupids in the Dim party!
If you are some rando TikTokker, it's time to come to the aid of your Cunt Tree!!!
I don't know about where you live, but where I do, I'll support a candidate who wants to go after Republicans and responds to their constituents.
A Fascist Authoritarian Regime.
And good for calling out the spineless dem cunts like Schumer.
There needs to be a radical change to fight the power, otherwise the Regime will fuck you up until 2028.

an extraordinary number of military contracts run through 2030

That being said I think Trump hates all his sons on some level. Ivanka isn't just the most capable; she also doesn't threaten his delicate manhood.
I was a Rolling Stone subscriber for decades. They used to be all about speaking truth to power, and were as anti-establishment a publication as one could find. Then, about 20 years ago, I began to notice - they were the establishment. They sold the store and abandoned Truth.
I'm not gonna explain that to you.
Everyone needs to find it out for themselves.
Rolling Stone is garbage, and not fit to line a birdcage.
You might as well be reading the NYT.
