Is it one’s own failure in this system that makes them think an entirely new system is required?
Had a busy week and haven't been able to read much about this until today, but...the House passes an anti-hate resolution clearly condemning anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and racism in general. Rep. Omar, who has been accused of making anti-Semitic remarks, voted for the resolution and afterwards praised its passage. Yet 23 House members actually voted against it, and all 23 were Republicans, and GOP Rep. Steve King abstained - yet board conservatives are arguing that this is evidence that it's the Dems who are racist and bigoted?
That is simply and ill informed response for those of us who watched it all unfold from beginning to end. Another hypocritical democrat shit show. See D Rep Deutch if you need it explained further. Just some watered down nonsense via the transfer of power from Pelosi to AOC.
We’re against hate! See, we passed a resolution against it!
The whole thing is such a joke.
Rep. Deutch, despite some criticisms of the resolution, still voted for it. If the resolution was just some "watered down nonsense", why did 23 Republicans vote against it, and Steve King abstain? Why would you not want to be on record as opposing racism and bigotry in all forms by voting for a simple resolution?
See they’re not against hate! They could even pass a resolution against it!
The whole thing is such a joke.
Its reactionaries all the way downRepublicans have no good ideas. All they know is to react against whatever they imagine to be librul.
My representative, Ted Budd, said, "On Thursday night, I voted against the Democrat’s so called "anti-hate" resolution and I want to be clear about why. In the beginning, this resolution set out to condemn the clearly anti-Semitic statements made by Representative Ilhan Omar. However, when the radical faction of the Democratic caucus pushed back against the resolution, Speaker Pelosi capitulated and severely watered it down. If your party has to debate how to respond to an anti-Semite, and you ultimately fold to the most radical voices in it, I believe your party’s problems are larger than you think."
I for one am very satisfied that our pragmatic establishment Dem leadership was able to get things done and pass this bipartisan anti-hate legislation.I kind of agree with junebug, though i suspect for different reasons. Both parties uphold the status quo of white supremacy, so a symbolic vote is bullshit.
