(180,454 posts)35. The grandson of GHW Bush is running this ad attacking socialism
TX CD 22 is an open seat with Pete Olson retiring. The DCCC has targeted this seat for flipping. There are 15 candidates in GOP primary including the grandson of GHW Bush. Another candidate, Kathleen Wall, is running in the GOP primary and she spent $6 million in 2018 running in GOP primary for TX CD 2 and did not make GOP primary runoff. I have had Wall block walkers come to my house twice (I live in a very GOP neighborhood) and I have found Wall doorhanger on my door twice now.
Pierce Bush is running against socialism
Link to tweet
Sri Preston Kulkarni is the leading Democrat for this seat (Sri has a GOP type and another person running against him in the Texas Democratic Primary) I texted this ad to Sri and he knew about it already. Sri Preston Kulkarni is a great guy and we need to flip this seat
If sanders is the nominee, we can forget about this seat and we will have Kevin McCarthy as speaker
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

There are political, social and economic definitions which are all valid... and quite different.

I guess it would depend on what kind of anarchism you're talking about.

Socialism is usually how I define my economic politics, given the dystopic capitalistic system...

Truman's point is that none of these things are true. None of these things are socialism.
