The hard-left politics of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and the so-called "Squad," once a dominant theme for vast numbers of elected Democrats, is backfiring big-time on the party in power, top Democrats tell us. Why it matters: The push to defund the police, rename schools and tear down statues has created a significant obstacle to Democrats keeping control of the House, the Senate and the party’s overall images "It's what we've been screaming about for a year," said Matt Bennett, c0-founder of center-left Third Way, which launched Shield PAC to defend moderate Democrats. "It's a huge problem." The latest sign of the backlash was the landslide (70%+) recall this week of three San Francisco school board members, who were criticized for prioritizing issues like the renaming of 44 public schools — including ones honoring George Washington and Abraham Lincoln — over a return to in-person classes. Other factors like an abrupt admissions change to a prestigious high school were at play (all politics is local). But the most liberal city in the most liberal state decided that liberal activists had gone too far. It's part of a barrage of evidence that the progressive activism of the Squad pushed the party's image way left of where most voters are — even most Democratic voters. Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), co-chair of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, told Axios: "What I'm hearing at home — and what I'm focused on — are commonsense, bipartisan solutions — from tackling grocery and gas prices, to cutting taxes and fixing our infrastructure, to investing in law enforcement and fighting crime." Aides to several Squad members declined immediate comment. This is a seismic shift from just a year ago. The signs have built steadily throughout President Biden's 13 months in office that Squad politics are problematic when you control everything: 30 House Democrats — the most in decades — have announced they'll retire instead of running in November's midterms. They see little hope of keeping the majority in this environment. Democrats lose poll after poll of generic House matchups, which ask voters if they'd prefer an R or a D if the election were held today. |

Fox News grabbed 42 percent of Democrats aged 25-54, CNN nabbed 33 percent, and MSNBC got 25 percent,” The Wrap’s Lindsey Ellefson wrote. Tucker Carlson Tonight, Hannity and The Five ranked in the top four cable news programs with Democrats in the total viewer category. Fox News also pulls in independents. The Nielsen data says that 58 percent of younger independents watch Fox during total-day hours, while only 25 percent tune in to CNN and just 18 percent choose MSNBC. |

Disclose.tv NEW-Bill Gates: "Sadly the virus itself - particularly the variant called Omicron - is a type of vaccine, creates both B cell and T cell immunity and it's done a better job of getting out to the world population than we have with vaccines." https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1494810193175195652 So I guess it's cool to talk about herd immunity again |

Ladyhippolyta88:I don't really blame the city of Ottawa and the province of Ontario. The protest wasn't really about mandate but a push for far right extremists to destabilize and sabotage the economy. It's no surprise that a lot of the funds that was frozen came from Texas and Florida, aside Alberta in Canada. The premier of Ontario is Conservative and he supports the EA. 2/3 of Canadians support the law enforcement actions of police and the Emergency Act to clear the outlaws and their weapons (trucks). All blockades cleared within hours of the EA invocation. Those touts are lucky, in Europe, they would have been slapped with baton by the British Police or currently ingesting tear gas from the French gendermes. They were warned for almost 3 weeks of criminal offenses and violating city by-laws. They were even given notices on Wednesday that the laws would now be enforced for real. Alot left but the stubborn ones stayed back. They should have complied.

sanpipita:You can't arrest someone for a crime before they commit the crime. This is real life, not Minority Report. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by DissTroy(m): 2:07pm On Feb 19, 2022 |
Actually, you can be arrested for a crime before you commit the crime if there's irrefutable evidence that there's a premeditated intention to commit that crime. "I've never been to the Whitehouse but the day I ever get close to it, I'd make sure I start a fire. Déath to the U.S." The day I am ever seen near the White House, I would get arrested. Even a video footage of me buying gasoline and lighter then driving away with it can be used as evidence against me. It's up to my lawyer to prove the evidence is circumstantial, but I'd get arrested first. Haven't we heard of "Intention to commit murder" as reason for nailing someone even without the murder being committed or the proposed victim being harmed? |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by BasedUsername: 2:11pm On Feb 19, 2022 |
DissTroy:"Intention to commit murder" is not the same as a murder charge. You wont be treated like a murderer and if convicted, you won't face the same amount of jail time |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by Banchotmods: 3:19pm On Feb 19, 2022 |
BasedUsername:Ya initial claim isa tha ah crime isa have to ah committed ah first. Ya isa still right. Intent to ah commit ah murder or ah burn tha white house isa still ah crime. Ya nat ah charge with ah crime ya isa not commit ah yet, ya charge with a crime of ah intent or conspiracy to commit tha crime. |
