Currently the list is relatively small but the clear trend is in that direction.

Greg Caesar
AOC
Rashida Tlaib
Cori Bush
Jamal Bowman
Mamdani
Brandon Johnson
Obviously Bernie

Ask me the same question in 5 years and the list will be MUCH longer.

1. I don't know who Greg Caeser is. There is a Greg Casar. He is such a leader that he has served one term in Congress and is not running for re-election.
2. Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman aren't even in Congress any more. In both cases, they lost their primaries to more moderate candidates.
3. So your actual list is AOC and Tlaib and a couple of mayors or mayoral candidates. Can you even fathom how little that is? It's not even a rounding error.

To put the point differently, there are 210+ Democrats in the House, 47 in the Senate, 25 or so governors, and dozens of mayors who are not socialist. Compared to your three or four examples.

By my calculation, that's less than 1%. Care to revise your statement?

Zen can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe he voted 3rd party the last three elections.

Yep. Gary Johnson. Jo Jorgensen. Chase Oliver.

Choice of Hillary and Trump was more than I could handle. Pushed me over the edge.

very interesting, thanks for sharing.

everyone should watch this, particularly all of you who keep insisting (with no proof) that Robinson was motivated by left wing ideology @ZenMode @Ramrouser etc etc

Great story, but there's nothing conservative about him. He lamented his dad being "MAGA". His "partner" was a male, living as a female, dressed like a dog. He repeatedly explains his actions against Kirk as "hate" motivated. His own mother said he had become more political and liberal over that last year.

Don’t worry I’m sure @Ramrouser and @Callatoroy will be here eminently to tell us this is no big deal and exactly the same as something Biden did, and @ZenMode will tell us that the real problem is that we shouldn’t be using the word fascism to describe the administration using the coercive power of the federal government to silence its critics.

No, im here to tell you that you should get off of social media for your news and away from people like David Frum, Aaron Rupar, etc. that post primarily rhetoric based shit designed to drive followers for their financial gain and get you riled up. In many cases they aren’t professional news people. They are influencers and provocateurs. You would be far less angry and hostile if you ignored their social media posts and just relied on the most unbiased news sources you could find. The level of anger and hatred on the zzl isn’t healthy and is largely driven by social media quotes.

I am angry because of what I heard Brendan Carr and Donald Trump and Stephen Miller and other immensely powerful people in the federal government say with their own mouths. I watched their lips move when they said it. If you aren't angry about the most powerful people in the federal government using the full weight of the federal government to coerce the silencing of speech they don't like, then you and I fundamentally disagree about what our country is supposed to stand for.
