You know what’s ironic? Your bff Sturg comes in and rails on people about being racist and homophobic with zero rationale and no receipts. 12 hours later you openly defend an anti semite by justifying it with a lack of opponent. Lol y’all keep openly laying your hypocrisy everywhere through this board.
If these are the examples of what makes someone an anti-Semite then there are a bunch on the Democratic side of the aisle as well. How about all of the people that kissed the ring of Farrakhan? Israel hypnotizing of the world? BDS Movement?
Its just more of an example of the fake outrage just for political purposes. Its transparent and nobody falls for it anymore. Ironic that there is no outrage on anyone else other than someone on the the right side of communist.
MTG's policies speak to what type of politician she is and what she will actually do for the American people.

It's OVER 5,000!
It's embarrassing to have her as the rep for my district. A modern day counter to Cynthia McKinney, who I used to laugh at regularly.

After finding herself unable to support either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton for president in 2016, Angela Pence (no relation to the former vice president) started looking outside the confines of either Republican or Democratic politics. That led her to the Libertarian Party (L.P.). In 2020, she started volunteering for Jo Jorgensen's campaign and serving as political director for the Georgia L.P.
For the 2022 election cycle, Pence decided to throw her own hat into the ring, by running against Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene in the race to represent Georgia's 14th Congressional District in the House of Representatives. Greene, in just a single term, has garnered a reputation as a kook, spreading outlandish conspiracy theories ranging from defending QAnon, to suggesting that California wildfires were intentionally caused by lasers from outer space. Just last month, Greene appeared as a speaker at a white nationalist political conference. There would seem to be plenty of room for a competitor.
But before someone like Pence can make her case to voters, she has to clear another hurdle: Georgia's ballot access laws.
Georgia's laws are quite onerous: To qualify for the ballot in a race for a districted position, a candidate needs to collect the signatures of 5 percent of all registered voters in their district—for the U.S. House, that means between 20,000 and 25,000 signatures. Conveniently, the two major parties are exempt from this rule, by virtue of having been on the ballot previously.
The law was initially passed in 1943, at a time when the state was also barring Communists from running for office. Perhaps not surprisingly, since 1943, not one single third-party candidate has made it onto the ballot for a districted race in Georgia. Last year, on a challenge from the Georgia L.P., a district court tossed the 5-percent rule, replacing it with a rule only requiring signatures from one-percent of registered voters. But earlier this year, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated the requirement.

I loathe the signature requirement. It should have been tossed in its entirety.

It’s ridiculous…one of the few things (D) and (R) agree on is do whatever they can to preserve their duopoly.
I see thier point and agree with them to an extent. These third party candidates have no shot of winning so you are wasting a vote, by voting for one of them. Local elections it’s fine, but presidential elections should only have two options.
Ten years from now I think people will be consistently choosing between 3-4 presidential candidates.

I hope so because the two we have right now suck. There’s a reason why fewer and fewer people are identifying with them each year.
The splintering off from the establishment uni-party is getting more and more developed. It will be interesting to see what the remaining establishment people do from both the Dems/Repubs.
The progressives will have their own candidate. The fact that Talib gave a 'response' speech for the SOTU should be informative on their intentions moving forward.

No member of Congress—no person—can read, understand, and analyze 2,741 pages and $1.5 trillion in spending in just a few hours. Voting for such a thing is beyond irresponsible. To do so is to place your political ambitions above your responsibility to the people you represent.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-senate-approves-bill-that-would-make-daylight-savings-time-permanent-2023-2022-03-15/
WASHINGTON, March 15 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate on Tuesday passed legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent starting in 2023, ending the twice-annual changing of clocks in a move promoted by supporters advocating brighter afternoons and more economic activity.
The Senate approved the measure, called the Sunshine Protection Act, unanimously by voice vote. The House of Representatives, which has held a committee hearing on the matter, still must pass the bill before it can go to President Joe Biden to sign. The White House has not said whether Biden supports it.
