Looks like AIPAC toppled another squad member. I think they're going a bit overboard, and considering the fact that I'm already skeptical of China meddling via the Democrat party in favor of the Clintons, it would make little sense to be agnostic on this. Especially considering the fact having a left-leaning party vs. a right-leaning party is better for the democratic process than having two centrist parties, or two centre-right/centre-left parties or etc.

TLDR; having two of the same ideologies is bad, we want politicians to fight with each other instead of ganging up to fight We The People.

EDIT: Not a defense of Cori Bush, I'm agnostic on her/have no opinion one way or the other, I hate all politicians deep down inside. :p

    • Thursday, 22 August 2024: Deepest condolences to the family of longtime US Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ 09th), who passed away yesterday at the age of 86. Pascrell's death comes just six days before the 27 August 2024 deadline, which will need to have Pascrell's name removed from the ballot.

    It has done nothing but give the Kamala Campaign ammo about Republicans being racists. And it is gaining traction with people on the fence. It did not help the party.

    It wasn't meant to. Political parties are just tools to carry out political agendas. Republican voters think that the party isn't carrying out their agendas, so they're trying to force it to. Only when that's done will they start thinking about winning and losing.

    Odds that crazy incidents like this will cost Republicans control of the US House of Representatives?

    The last two Congresses (including the current one) have had extremely small House majorities but I have a hunch it won't be as close this time; so whatever difference this kind of thing makes won't be the difference between having or not having a majority unless you think there are many, many districts where the Republican candidate is vulnerable to this sort of attack.

    I suspect Democrats are favored to win the election, but it could go either way. If I were forced to make a specific prediction I'd predict Hakeem Jeffries is speaker in 2025.

    Yes: I think it could go either way, yet I don't think it will be as close as the last two House elections. Gut feeling.
