The number one job of US or any government is to protect its citizens.

I’m from Michigan and I decided to vote for him because he is willing to get all money out of politics. This is the reason why we are in this mess.

He is what a democrat should be!!!! Standing up for regular people!! n

There are many, many great Democrats out there. Any newfound progressive could easily be a slimy Republican Pedophile just waiting to get elected and change parties.

Progressives are often overrated. They should be scrutinized closely just like any other Democrat!!

136247-yes, absolutely all candidates of any party should have due diligence done before being given any type of leadership position or any position of authority. Guess that is not always a given in any party. Thanks for the heads up!!!

136247-see if I can do this answer correctly!!! I agree but the older republican party at least had honor. I am a lifelong liberal and proud to be, but the old republican party did have principles, some of which I actually respected. But not since trump came on the scene and they all rushed to sell their souls to maga. It is truly a bought and paid for corrupt party these days. Yes, dems have our own issues to that end but hopefully we can clean house this coming election cycle. Those in power now are cowards and just will not stand up to maga republicans. We need new blood with strength to take our fight to maga and fight to win!!! But that is a subject for another day.

Nice interacting with you. It is always good to share viewpoints and information!!

That has happened in Florida…newly elected Democrats suddenly switching to the Republican Party.

Raven's avatar

Wolves in sheeps clothing are showing up all over the democratic party. Be aware. Research their past words and actions and who they supported in the past.

Michele Mason's avatar

Who they supported, but Who supported them… & dig (if needed) until you know all the parties & what they wanted.

Democrat, or not, I will not vote for anyone taking aipac, sending weapons to israel, or other support, unless Americans receive its equal. (& thats not all!)

VOTE DEMOCRATIC or at least VOTE FOR PEOPLE YOU KNOW. So-called “Progressives” are popping up everywhere.The REPUBLICAN Party used to be relatively decent 20 or 30 years ago. They have become dirtier and dirtier under Trump. THEY ARE CAPABLE of ANYTHING. 100% of Absentee Ballots from Democratic communities will never be successfully delivered during the midterms. It’s gone on for years and The Supreme Court knows it!New Absentee Ballot laws (if passed) are just another way for Republicans to steal elections.

136247-Not at all surprised!!! Nothin’ surprises me anymore!!! Have no problem with folks switching parties, but if you run on a certain platform, you owe your people to stick until your time is up!!! It is a disgrace to turn on people who believed in you!!! But as for your dems turned maga, good riddance to worthless and fickle people!! Those types will always throw you under the bus to promote themselves!!! Hope the dems there do more due diligence in replacing them. Make new prospects walk that plank first!!!

Just sayin’ cause I hate traitors of any stripe!!!

What I LOVE about watching both Waj and Abdul is that they are so American! Their voices, their mannerisms, their accents, their language, their values--all while they maintain their identities as Muslims with Pakistani and Egyptian heritages! This is what is best and strongest about this country. This puts tears in my eyes.

rhonda's avatar

I love them both.

Right love love!

Do you think our bullying behavior in the Middle East is blameless? I see it as rather a continuation of our imperialistic tendencies, and if I lived in another country I wouldn’t be happy with that. We have sometimes behaved badly, imposing our will on other countries. Would you be comfortable with that if you lived in a place where the US came in and bombed, or threw out the governmen?

They whine too much in my opinion, a lot people do that, it is not tied to any specific country or location.

“I don’t need you to like me, I need you to love yourself enough to get healthcare” that’s beautiful. I think that’s partially where we become lost on electing representatives. We currently think it’s a popularity contest but we should be focused on choosing those that will fight and work for what’s best for we the people.

I know it when I see it and so do Americans. South of Boston a bit down on my luck just laid off but I am donating what I can to campaigns across the country to unseat MAGA and unseat the same old same old. Volunteered wherever I can as well and protest, signature rallies, postcards and will volunteer at the polls. We see it. This crisis has been a forced and much needed maturation. I just donated:

The passion around Abdul’s campaign was palpable at the convention last week

Sandy Salmons's avatar

Hang in there Abdul. These Bigots are as afraid of you running and possibly Winning as much as they are a Competent Woman, which is a Huge Compliment coming from a Competent Woman who is NOT Afraid of the White Male Established Bigots currently in our Government!
