Cori Bush had no shot at getting elected again. Voters in STL wised up to her bullshite and fraud after her first term. Very divisive, ineffective as a legislator and again corrupt.

Bell is about as normie as it gets and steamrolled her. Plus he has the weight of the local business community.

I almost feel badly for her.

I don’t. She’s trying to ruin people’s lives. The constant lying and gaslighting by this administration and its agencies is despicable.

He should sue.

Latest Tx senate poll

Most independents (68%) and virtually all Democrats support Talarico (98%), while fewer Republicans are unified behind Paxton (89%).

In part, that’s because one quarter of non-MAGA Republicans back Talarico (24%).

You know what I've noticed about ignorant posters such as the one who posted this is when they cannot point to policy, which they can't, they deflect into morality.

I responded to a poster that said Obama was more immoral than Trump. I said above I don’t care for his leadership skills or his policies. Keep on with your ad hominem attacks though.

My assumption is that you’re not looking for a real response but here it goes.

I don’t like his leadership style. He doesn’t take ownership of bad decisions EVER. His ego is massive and needs to be fed by the minute. This creates an environment where his underlings have to fluff his ego and bury any bad news. If he were the CEO of your public company, you’d probably hate him and eventually the company would be embroiled in a scandal whereby the BOD would fire him.

He sucks up to the worst leaders in the world. Butchers like Putin, repressers like Kim Jong Un and Xi. He shites on global allies and tries to bully them. Everything is transactional. He is an agent of chaos and often pits Americans against each other. Policy wise, he is gutting environmental protections, politicizing medical research, and accelerating inequality at a time where it’s greater than even the gilded age.

I could go on but the replies will be TDS this, TDS that. I’ve voted for Gary Johnson, Ron Paul, Obama, Kerry and Biden. Never Trump because I saw through his con but would vote for an independent or even solid republican in the future if their character were solid.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8:

No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

Free market capitalism is the best system so far as the underlying government hasn’t been perverted by the monied interests.

That said, lobbyists, no term limit politicians and a free for all given the Citizens United decision have screwed the average taxpayer and led to this point where socialism is even considered as a path. We need major reforms to get back on track. Otherwise the masses will vote in an alternative.

Taxing people on their income or wealth is intrinsically immoral. It’s theft

Perhaps, but getting immensely wealthy with government subsidies and contracts is sort of immoral as well. Must be a fair playing field.

Healthcare - getting rid of the pre-existing condition loophole was net positive, although single payer with higher cap gains on the billionaire class would be even better.

Foreign policy - against misadventures in the Middle East. Stronger western alliances.

Worker and consumer protections.

They frick up quite a bit, but the truth is we haven’t truly had a progressive federal government since the FDR years. Most have been corporate lite since then. Even the Biden years were handouts to corporations.

Why would you want to see an American city burn? Especially the most iconic metropolis in the country.

Partisanship is destroying our nation, and yes democrats play a role in this too.

No. It means they are stealing it from us.

Stealing LA? Cmon man. LA is about as blue as it gets. The cheating allegations for every election is getting old at this point.
