Less about following the constitution and more about obscure interpretation. I’m quite certain the conservative Supreme Court will rule that birthright citizenship does not apply to the children of illegal immigrants.

A tip I learned in graduate school; read your typed statements out loud. If it doesn’t make sense to you, it certainly won’t make sense to someone else. 31% of the voting population can’t elect a president.

31% of liberals voted for Trump? If it was that high, you idiots deserve everything you get.

The American people overwhelmingly voted for Trump, though. In fact, a lot of these liberals screaming bloody murder at the top of their lungs voted Trump out of spite.

If she would’ve won, the only thing that would’ve been different is Republicans would have had one less seat in their majority

Please explain how a +13 Democrat over-performance in a deep red Republican District is a bad thing for Democrats🤔

Or; Jefferies is a leader, and the president of Columbia is a buffoon, but I think deep down, you already know that. 😵💫

Capitalism balanced with socialism is the way to go. A functional society can't have one without the other. But I'm a Bill Clinton/Barack Obama/Joe Biden Democrat. Not a Bernie Sanders liberal.

The Democratic Party is a coalition of moderates and center-left liberals. Just because a handful of socialist screams that should change doesn't mean it will. Take good care...✌️😉

How about you just admit that you got it wrong?

You can be as snarky and self-righteous as you like; doesn’t change the fact that I was correct AND I told you so! 🤟🏾😵💫

That may have been what you were doing, but my point was that challenging Jeffries was a pointless exercise. The majority of DSA agreed.

I told you that a primary against Hakeem Jefferies was quite stupid. Even the wackadoodles in the DSA recognize that.

You keep making this about me personally, but I'm simply telling you that it's an impractical exercise. Everybody does not have political charisma. People liked Zohran the same way they liked AOC. It was less about what they said and more about their personal attributes.

Outside of Mamdani, DSA doesn’t have anyone else. Ironically, you think it was his policies that people supported, when it was actually the politician. Live and learn.

But he won't lose, and your side's standing with Democrats will be worse for it. That's the point. That's why Zohran and AOC are trying to discourage this ridiculous vanity project that's doomed to fail.

That's your opinion, doesn't mean it's worth a damn. And I'll repeat; no one with a functional brain thinks it's a good idea to primary the likely first black speaker of the house in our country's history for no real reason other than to be petty.

Ok; Black people aren't going to allow white gentrifiers to take down the first Black Speaker of the House. Is that clearer for you?

Yeah, but he doesn’t “lead” you, he “leads” the Senate Democrats. Are you sure they don’t have any confidence in him? i’d reckon that they do.🤔
