My bad, that part of the cross-post text wasn’t visible.

Yes, exactly. People seem to be purposefully ignoring his answers. He has amazing message discipline and always gives, imo, the perfect response which balances empathy, morality, and political expediency. He’s an incredibly talented politician who has weathered the manufactured pushback, overt racism (fuck you Gillibrand), and criticisms better than anyone I can think of.

Also, I’m a Jew (not that it matters), but I think when all the ranked choice numbers are finally tallied he will have won the majority of NY Jews in the primary.

Holy shit, really? I didn’t know that. That wild.

Yeah the title, and frankly the article, is shit. They couldn’t have made it much more confusing if they tried.

Johnson wants Trump to be able to bomb, this resolution would have told him he has to stop bombing. Johnson is against the resolution, so he’s okay with Trump bombing.

He also doesn’t think Congress needs to affirmatively act to give Trump war powers right now, which just exposes the fact that Johnson doesn’t understand his own role in government.

Frankly, the thing that scares me the most is that you can hear the soldiers in the audience loudly booing at residents of LA on behalf of Trump, when prompted by Trump. That’s disgusting behavior, and should get them all reprimanded or discharged.

While I don’t necessarily have the default unchallenged respect/reverence for the military that most people do, at the very least I expect them to act professionally and respectfully in their own country (since we know that’s often way too much to ask when they’re sent abroad). Fuck any solider who openly acts on their political views, and fuck every soldier that doesn’t refuse an illegal order. You volunteered to do this, so you better do it right.

I really tried to understand Newsom’s motivations for that, and I just can’t wrap my head around it. I have no problem engaging with the other side, but only when it’s in good faith or when you’re prepared and willing to push back against every single bullshit extremist thing they say. There is no good faith with a person like Kirk, and Newsom didn’t challenge him at all, so it was pretty obvious that he’s just courting right-wing extremists.
