Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said policy differences toward Israel between her and President Biden won’t stop her from supporting him in the November general election.
“Of course,” Omar said Tuesday, when asked by CNN’s Abby Phillip on “NewsNight” whether she would vote for Biden if the election were held that day, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “Democracy is on the line, we are facing down fascism.”
“And I personally know what my life felt like having Trump as the president of this country, and I know what it felt like for my constituents, and for people around this country and around the world,” Omar continued. “We have to do everything that we can to make sure that does not happen to our country again.”
You’re saying that here, but you have repeatedly said you’re voting third party, and I among many others have given you shit for that, as well as your refusal to even acknowledge one thing you think Biden has done well. You complain about this so much on Lemmy that I recognize your name, and can usually tell when you’ve written a comment before I even look at the name. Go outside sometimes.
Feel free to respond to this but fyi I’m not going to read it.
I too have seen exactly this from that user.
Wow, and with 26 comments over 9 months, you’re surely not someone’s alt account…
No, in fact, I’m not.
Weird.
Looks like you just make pro genocide comments and get super down voted for it.
So still makes since why you’re upset with me. I do spend a lot of time pointing out how we shouldn’t be spending billions a year so another country can do a genocide.
Congrats on finally have some comments with a positive score tho!
Doesn’t look like it happens often
Mkay buddy

I’d say something about how weird it is to deny something blatantly true…
But it looks that’s just SOP for you
Because everything he’s “done well” has been pretty much the same shit they’ve always done. It’s not enough. You can blame Republicans all day long but we need something to change and Democrats are the only option available to progressives and leftists. But every single time there’s an opportunity to demonstrate looking towards the future and making these changes Biden has passed that up. Here’s some examples:
Called on congress to block the rail strike: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/biden-calls-on-congress-to-block-potential-railroad-strike
Walks back his own campaign promise for $50k forgiveness: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/539139-biden-balks-at-50k-student-loan-forgiveness-plan/
Goes around congress to sell weapons to Israel: https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/29/politics/biden-congress-israel-military-aid/index.html
Forced federal workers back to office: https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/13/politics/in-person-work-biden-administration/index.html
Increased the defense budget: https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/28/politics/defense-budget-biden-administration/index.html
These behaviors put me as a voter in a no win situation. If I support Biden after all this what am I doing besides giving establishment Democrats and moderate voters a blank check opportunity to say “See? Everything is fine.”. They will completely ignore the fact that I and other voters compromised our principles in order to prop up a candidate we hate for what he’s done.
On the other hand I can protest vote 3rd party or write in. And of course that comes with it’s own risks.
At what point will moderates and establishment Democrats have a moment of self awareness and admit that this isn’t a sustainable model? Personally I had hoped 2016 would be that wake up call but instead I’m seeing people try to turn it around as if it’s progressives and leftists who need to change.
Nope, never.
But thanks for blocking me! I know you’re going to sign out to check this, but it’s still nice to know I’ll never get another response from you.
If you bet banned for personal attacks, please don’t forget to also block me on your new account or any alts you currently have
