They're trying to get Ilhan Omar the fukk out of here...

This is also from the article where she says:

“I think you endanger your majority by not doing what got you into the majority. And this is something that the Republicans often are in tune with that the Democrats are not. We seem to be afraid of our own shadow. We’ve become too afraid, I think, to actually listen to the people, and to recognize who our base is,” she says. “I’m fascinated by Republicans. They seem to have, for good or bad, a full understanding of their base and complete loyalty to them. We have a bigger base, but we seem to not understand them or have loyalty to them. When you are constantly trying to figure out how to appease everyone, you end up not appeasing anyone.”

This is great, but she better be careful. I know she’s not scared, but she’s gonna have both sides completely coming for her now. Establishment Dems dikkride the shyt out of Obama

The idea that Ilahn Omar or any other congresspersons job is to just work with others in their party is so backwards and is directly responsible for the shytty state of affairs in America. Her job is to represent her constituents and push forward policies and ideas that will make the United States a better, more just actor.

She’s taking dead aim at the bullshyt and doesn’t care who gets caught in the crossfire. She’s a fukking warrior. If you don’t want to get hit, get the fukk outta the way.

Furthermore, I think Trump changed what’s acceptable in politics
And if the establishment Dems try to just shyt on the new people or just move them out the way they’re going to receive a lot of blowback

I don’t think old rules apply

And even if they do get pushed out I hope they become activists because we need them at this point

that's why even her own fellow somali constituent that was quoted in the piece was like "whoa calm down we actually want you to accomplish something."


and he's not lying. somali-americans like most minority americans are viewing the world as it is and in america that's a two party system and they are trying to get in where they fit in. and basically being muslim is their #1 characteristic so they ask a simple question and it's not who loves us, it's who hates us the least? but you know they aren't fukkin with social liberalism. the far left want things socially they want no part of and the far right wants their muslim asses all the way the fukk outta here.

the democrats have a mishmash of people with different priorities, so when she says the base is bigger that's not exactly true. the democrats might represent a larger portion of the american population, but it's not a coherent base like the republican base. e.g., a lot of the gays who vote are just concerned about the social liberalism because that's a means to an end, but they are more fiscally conservative or at best moderate. a lot naturalized voters might care about the immigration issue, but they are more likely to be socially conservative and fiscally conservative or moderate at best. black americans might appreciate a more robust federal govt because of the history of states rights, but can be quite conservative on some social issues and probably wouldn't have objected greatly to the federal govt not butting in when a state wants to ban trans people from a bathroom. and let's not even start on the minority of whites who vote democrat. you're naive if you think there is a one size fits all strategy for keeping this voting bloc together.

The mishmash point you made was real
But I feel like if they did the most important thing for each group they could run shyt home

but what if the most important thing for one group conflicts with another or more than one?

when is she up for re-election?

 

[hashmander]

when is she up for re-election?

she's a congressperson so every two years, next november.

 

[FAH1223]

when is she up for re-election?

Every 2 years

And knowing MN’s 5th district, I doubt there’ll be a primary challenge. It’s a very blue district... her challenge in a primary would be from her left.
