    this is why i like ilhan and rashida the most out of the socialists in congress, they dont bandy words. like shit, if youre a politician afraid of taking a stand just say 'i dont think an american's opinion matters' or 'i dont think america should be involved in the middle east at all'. the second one is such a common phrase among everyday people that almost no one would disagree. hate the waxing poetic about 'peace and understanding'.

      is ilhan a socialist? I thought she was socdem. I like her regardless for always being against imperialism

        shes DSA so 'socialist' but tbh being an anti imperialist is probably the farthest left you can be in the USA congress, though shes pretty shit on china and communist countries

            for sure. i like how she vaguely references her daughter as 'oh a couple of people are concerned about...'
