Compromises have to be made, but at this point I really don’t want to vote for a single candidate that sells out to the easiest lobbying/sell out scheme of the last couple decades. Israel isn’t the only lobbying superpower that’s been controlling our government either, but they’re one of the biggest and they’re also committing genocide with out taxes so I think it’s ok to draw that as a hard line to cross?
Purity testing will be our downfall. Democrats holding the Senate is important. Thomas and/or Alito can retire or die at any given moment and if we control the Senate we have the opportunity to prevent Trump from locking down a 6-3 conservative majority for 30 years. Think of all the bad shit SCOTUS has done in the last 10 years. Turn down a Democrat with name recognition and strong accomplishments and we risk more damage from this SCOTUS.
Or we risk giving the Dems another run at repeating the same shit they’ve been doing too. Don’t get me wrong I’m left, but allowing our politicians to participate in corruption is my red line. They should be representing US, not corporations that give them money and that goes for both sides. I did say that compromises must be made and since both are likely lobbying I’d ofc take the dem, but we have to put our foot down or else this will all just repeat again anyways
That’s the entire reason so many dem soc have been winning this midterm so far, people are sick of this institutionalized for-profit politics that is always at the tax payers expense. Lobbying is just legalized corruption and that’s just a fact of the past and present, in Michigan we’ve been making some very promising moves with MMOP, I’m just sick of this “lesser of 2 evils”
Absolutely, the Dems are more likely to get citizens united removed and that’s why I’d vote for them still, I would still want to look more into the “pro-Israel” side of how our representatives may vote or what they might support though because depending on their views on the genocide I may find a rather large bone to pick with
