Democrats, How do you feel about “the squad” becoming the next leadership?
Zero of them will serve more than 2 terms in Congress. Either they will lose interest or they will quit once they are no longer Twitter-celebrities
That being said, I hope I’m wrong because the media’s glorification and magnification of the “squad” *cringe* is the best thing to happen to the GOP’s House election chances since Whitewater

You're just as bad as the people claiming everything is racist if you actually believe this. Some of you are fricking idiots for calling people who dont agree with trump on every turn "lefty loons." Its the same as when I got called a far left whack job because I'm pro choice even though I'm completely on the trump train. Dude seems like a true moderate dem, I dont think what trump said was racist but I can understand how people have come to that conclusion.
Good post. You are right. I am a moderate Dem. But to my Dem friends I am a reactionary neo-con. In the echo chamber of the poli board I’m part of the looney left. What can ya do huh?

People read what they want and hear what they want as long as it supports their feelings. Trump didn’t say anything racist but if read part of comment it supports their hatred for the man that is the best President of our time. They are the real racists, since they don’t agree with what I think is the way to think. See I can use racist the way the left does also.

There's your problem right here and this is why I support Trump's tweet 100%.
People are sick and tired of leftists shielding people like Omar and AOC because of "people of color" bullshite. They are allowed to say the most vile, hateful, and outrageous things, in Omar's case, flat out hatred of Israel, and they are rarely called out for it.

No one is shielding AOC. People are calling out words that have racial bigotry. It’s not either/or here. For example, I think AOC is as dumb as dog shite. And I think Trump was in error with his verbiage

I'm in the same boat you are in and I live in NYC so it's even worse. I rarely talk politics because I'm socially liberal to an extent, I've drawn the line with how crazy some of the shite being pushed nowadays is and fiscally conservative. That makes me a fricking nazi to some of my old liberal friends and I get called a far left whack job on here because I think a women should be able to do what they want with their body in the first 20 weeks of the pregnancy and I dont care when companies market to transgenders and gay people.

I didn't say "we have no clue what he means". I'm saying he said if you hate this country so much, you should leave, not be a member of congress.
I would agree with the Nigerian president saying that about white people in his country trying to turn it in a direction opposite of what the Nigerian people want.

Not in any way, on its own. Their skin color is only relevant if you base your entire perspective on innate biological characteristics instead of language, pragmatism, and reality.
Those four are some of the objectively most ignorant, emotional and least intelligent people in Congress. (although in full disclosure so is about 2/3rds of the House, on both sides of the aisle) I really don’t care what any of their biological characteristics are.
That’s not a racist belief. Their color has nothing to do with my opinion. Their sheer dumbassery dictates that.
The words “go back” are not racist. Brown and black people do not have a monopoly on being from other nations. There are more white descendants of immigrants in this country than any other group, obviously. Nothing about “go back where you came from” is racist
Stupid? Yes. Shortsighted? Absolutely. But not inherently racist. It just is not.

When the democrats passed their resolution to condemn anti-semitism they refused to even mention Omar by name, even though she was the impetus for the resolution.
To say that democrats, liberals, and the media don't defend these people is dishonest and you know it.
I'm trying to tell you that this is what the average Joe is sick of. We are tired of a certain group, or groups, always getting away with saying the most vile and hateful things all because of skin color. We (white males) are sick and tired of POC being allowed to say whatever the hell they want about us, our values and political beliefs, and our country, and if we so much as respond we're the "racists".
BTW, I used to be what was considered a moderate democrat, but shite like this is why I refuse to vote democrat now.

Oh I didn’t mean that they would be defeated at the ballot box. Because they won’t.
I mean the that the only reason these idiots ran for office was so they could get a blue check. They care far more about Twitter and media reaction than they do policy. And without actually being worth a damn at their jobs they will not move up in important committees under current D leadership.
Once they are no longer the new thing, the media will lose interest and I think they will quit/not run anymore.

They didn't do it for the blue check. They did it because they're power hungry narcissists. They're all walking gaffe machines, not very bright, and have an attitude that goes beyond arrogant. Never mind the fact that two of them support radical Islamic groups.
As far as the media losing interest - the only way the media puts the lid on them is if Trump loses 2020. That's the only way they'll become irrelevant.

Surely you see, but won't admit, Trump’s comments were a shiny hook aimed at the Squad for them to admit their extremist, socialist leanings...because your Dem leadership isn’t doing much to control these dangerous shitheads. Someone had to fight fire with fire.
And Trump’s tactic worked

Not at all. Remember Dems we’re condemning them last week.
