I've often thought things would be better when the Boomer generation finally leaves politics, but the likes of Vance and Stephen Miller are even more insidious.
The problem here isn’t ideology, it’s oligarchy. These goblins are exactly what money and power makes them.
I repeat this like a broken record but if you paid these idiots $1 more a year and gave them access to political power they’d be Marxist Leninists in a heartbeat

Vance maaaybe but Stephen Miller is a true believer on a cellular level.
Sometimes it's not just a grift, they really are evil.

He'd be totally fine in Pol Pot's Cambodia or Stalin's Soviet Union.
The crazy thing about her is she’s a former Reagan Republican. Like hardcore Republican.
I like her but the district she's running in isn't exactly progressive. Maybe the bigger point is narrative shifting and not speaking like a goddamn coward all the time.

She's fearless, well spoken and funny. Her politics are Bernicrat. If I was in her district (country) I'd take that as a win.

Right, which will be interesting in a district full of old money Democrats (Evanston) and an established Jewish community (Skokie). On top of that I'm sure there are some Schakowsky loyalists who felt like she got pressured out by a "TikTok star".
Maybe parts of Edgewater and Rogers Park mirror the areas AOC represents but it'll just depend on who turns out.

Stephen Miller prefers to be called Pale Pot in the bedroom. Unfortunately, Elon just took his woman.
