More pulling to the right? Think. Again. Mar 2024 #1

Actually, he seems rather sane, reasonable and normal to me... here in the center. Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #5

I just don't thnk we should react to... Think. Again. Mar 2024 #6

He's not a right winger, and neither am I. Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #7

I guess we'll see what the folks of that district want for themsleves then. Think. Again. Mar 2024 #8

Umm. Yeah? Obviously. LOL! Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #9

Why are you bashing AOC? Emile Mar 2024 #10

Nobody is "bashing" AOC. I'm supporting the candidacy and views of a Democrat. Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #12

Really? Who was this bashing aimed at, then? muriel_volestrangler Mar 2024 #23

Contrast and compare. A very reasonable and realistic assessment and characterization. Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #35

You don't think that's bashing? No, that is not being "reasonable". It's insulting our intelligence for you to claim muriel_volestrangler Mar 2024 #38

I wish he'd won that one against Bowman. Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #41

No-one's insulting you. We're saying you're promoting a right winger. muriel_volestrangler Mar 2024 #46

So insinuating that I'm a right-winger is not an insult/smear/attack * Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #47

I have read every post in this thread and no one Emile Mar 2024 #48

The word was "insinuating". yagotme Mar 2024 #56

You seem unwilling to talk about the immigrant stance you quoted in the OP muriel_volestrangler Mar 2024 #49

It's funny how all those "reasonable centrists" seem to be going after immigrants. Hassin Bin Sober Mar 2024 #55

So this guy is running to unseat AOC, lol 😂. Emile Mar 2024 #2

AOC for the win! SocialDemocrat61 Mar 2024 #13

It will be a formidable challenge. An incumbent always has an advantage. But, her lack of * Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #14

She has a primary challenge in 2020 SocialDemocrat61 Mar 2024 #15

Yes. And in 2020 the lack of legislative accomplishments * Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #16

What legislative accomplishments have any junior Emile Mar 2024 #19

Okay you named ONE, anymore? Emile Mar 2024 #22

LOL! How many more do you need? -- I recognize this game * Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #24

You are the one claiming legislative accomplishments Emile Mar 2024 #26

I've made no such claim. You are ignoring that she had four years with a Democratic majority * Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #28

Four years with half of it under a Republican majority. Emile Mar 2024 #29

No. Four years with a Democratic majority. And 1.5 years (so far) * Oopsie Daisy Mar 2024 #33

Okay 2 out of five under Republican majority. Emile Mar 2024 #76

It's not a fascinating way of looking at things SocialDemocrat61 Mar 2024 #25
