And I just can’t take the fact that democracy is indeed dying in America and it’s ALL the Republican Party’s and Trump’s fault.

Thing is, though, gerrymandering giveth and gerrymandering taketh away. The point is to maximize the number of seats you hold, which means you’re holding them by very slim majorities. If there is even a slight movement in the other direction, you may end up losing a lot more seats than you would otherwise. Usually the risk is worth it, but when you have a historically unpopular slumlord-cum-reality star weighing your party down…

So much for Respect the Troops.

The Trump administration wants to scale back a program that protects undocumented family members of active-duty troops from being deported, according to attorneys familiar with those plans.The attorneys are racing to submit applications for what is known as parole in place after hearing from the wives and loved ones of deployed soldiers who have been told that option is “being terminated.”The protections will only be available under rare circumstances, the lawyers said they’ve been told.“It’s going to create chaos in the military,” said Margaret Stock, an immigration attorney who represents recruits and veterans in deportation proceedings. “The troops can’t concentrate on their military jobs when they’re worried about their family members being deported.”

Or the left’s obsession with Tulsi Gabbard…being a “russian agent” apparently. I guess two tours of active duty in Iraq doesn’t account for shit these days when it comes to loyalty to the republic, eh?

Creeped out? Yes.
Surprised? Not especially. The American right has historically had a tendency to identify with leading figures first and issues second (see their tendency to excuse anything, including flagrant breaches of their avowed beliefs, so long as it’s their guy doing it), so it’s logical to expect them to apply this to their opposition and focus on attempting to take down notable personalties in the opposing camp. Creationists have been doing this forever, as if convincing people that Darwin supposedly recant his views on his deathbed or something would somehow disprove evolutionary biology.

Case in point.

What are you talking about? Where are you seeing “the left” accusing Tulsi Gabbard of being a Russian agent?
Are you just trying to make some reference to the interest that Russian media is paying to her? or are you actually talking about something that happened?

Michael Tracey’s twitter feed. Note that I’m using “Russian agent” in the same sense as the TDS media, in that anyone not blindly hostile towards Putin or Russia is obviously getting support directly from the Kremlin. Similar to how on the radical right anyone who disagrees with them is obviously supported by Soros and The Jews™.

Someone who advocates for public broadcasting isn’t strictly a “leftist” and may be comparable more to the left-liberals of the New Deal era. That said I never knew who this guy is until now either. Usually when someone says “left” I may think about the Majority Report as being part of that mainstream-ish independent media left. Not some literally who lib type. Noam Chomsky might be a better leftist figure in this case as he at least relates to Tracy in that he’s written books critiquing the media over all from the left.

Any opinions on how the tonights debate? I havent watched it just yet but from what I’ve heard kamala came out on top, which I really hope not, seeing how little empathy she has on civil rights issues.

Maybe instead of saying “the left is obsessed”, next time say “Michael Tracy is obsessed”.
Because last time I checked, that one guy is not “all of the left”.

Same here. I had to google him, and the first hits were graffiti artists.
