The Republican candidate who shares the same name as the incumbent Senator of Alaska has been allowed to remain on the ballots for the upcoming primary election after a recent court ruling. However a further appeal can be made to the Alaska Supreme Court.

The judge basically said you can't just toss a candidate based on "vibes".

 
Darializa Avila Chevalier one of the Democratic candiates who won in the NYC primarily for Congress. is going to be a huge headache for the Democrats with her history of pretty extreme statments.
Republican mainstream candidates favor concentration camps and child brides. How is that never a "headache" for republicans?
They go way beyond what other Democratic Socialist candiates have said..eradicating Western Civilzation is a very radical statement.
Declaring the US and theocracy is also radical, but never seems to hurt Republicans.
And now there are number of tweets from a couple of years ago prasing the Soviet union, holding Lenin up as a good example, and complaing that book stores did not carry enough Marxist Literature, including the works of Stalin.
Ooo, foreign ideas! She must be silenced.
She even blasted the animated movie Anastasia for being Anti Communits.
Meh, the original story is white washing the Romanov atrocities. I saw the stage version a couple years ago (no talking bats or undead wizards). I couldn't help but laugh at the fantasizing about how wonderful Russia was before the Revolution. as if if happy people violently over throw their rulers.
She is bad news; luckily she won't have much impact; congressional elections are always local in nature.
so why all the pearl clutching? Why do candidates in New York City have to campaign like they are running in Idaho?
The Mayor showed poor judgement in endorsing her.
she beat the incumbent by a country mile. Seems like it worked out pretty well for him
All this just goes to show something I know people will not like; People on the left can b e idiots also.
Yes, but it seems extremists in the center let their devotion to the cult of the middle melt their brains.

Thank God people on the right don't have a history of making extreme statements.

Can you do me a quick favor and quote any of Trump's Truth Social posts from the last...I don't know...week?

Also, Fox News? Really? I guess your "centrist" is showing with that source, eh? I generally don't read, or even visit, news sites where the company has been sued for a billion dollars and lost because they openly lied on their broadcast. Good to know they still have your trust though.

And don't forget Shostakovich's 11th symphony, which commemorates an occasion on which the Romanovs were really nice to their people.

You are under the illusion that I never have attacked Republicans for maiking extreme statements. I suggest you look up my posting history on MTG and a couple others. And all the nasty things I have said about Trump
And it is clear there is such thing as extremism on the left in your book.
And look up the lady. Many new sources that do not have a political ax to grind have quoted her tweers and statments. They are not in dispute.
Just be honest and admit no one should be allowed to criticise the left around here.
Seriously you get upset if anybody criticises anyone on the left.

Yeah, Soviet Style Marxism was such a wonderful idea.
The TRagedy of the RUssian Revolution is that the government Russia got after the Revolution turned out to be no better then the one tsarist regime.
Your contempt for the middle is noted.
I do not to live in a world where it becomes a choice between Hitler and Stalin.
ANother person for whom there is no such thing as extremism on the left.

It is clear that any criticism of extreme statments on the left is doubleplus ungood crimethink around here.
 
And I might as well go all the way; Imho supporting classic Soviet Mao style Marxism is no better then supporting Fascism.
 
Are her policies Soviet-Mao Marxist?
Universal health care, child care policies, free education, better access to nutrition...how much more red communist maoist can you get? Real America should be a hunger games scenario where televised gladiatorial challenges will determine who gets to survive. Of course, one's cash reserves will get you a ticket in the galleries.

Hunger Games? Totally unAmerican.. Those kids didn't have guns you liberal pinko!

Good thing she isn't advocating that.

I mean, overall, you're probably right. I'm not looking to paper over the crimes of any government or ruler. But let's not pretend the Russian people weren't justified in over throwing the Romanovs and not trusting the West.
Your contempt for the middle is noted.
It is also well earned
I do not to live in a world where it becomes a choice between Hitler and Stalin.
And yet, you assert that choice on all of us.
ANother person for whom there is no such thing as extremism on the left.
No, I just don't see the same things as extreme that you do. You seem to put the likes of LBJ in the extremist category.
 
Thirty years in the House won't save you.

Democratic socialist Melat Kiros unseats Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado House primary

Democratic socialist Melat Kiros has toppled Rep. Diana DeGette in Colorado’s 1st District Democratic primary, NBC News projects, in the latest victory for the insurgent left wing of the party over an entrenched incumbent this year.

DeGette, 68, has represented the Denver-based district for three decades, having first taken the oath of office months before Kiros, 29, was born. She leaned on her experience, her support for progressive policies like “Medicare for All” and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement and her role as an impeachment manager during President Donald Trump’s 2021 Senate trial after the riot at the U.S. Capitol.

But that wasn’t enough to stave off Kiros, part of a wave of democratic socialists who have found success this primary season in deep-blue parts of the country and are seeking to direct the future of the Democratic Party.

DeGette is the seventh House member to lose renomination this election cycle and the third in seven days.

Kiros, a lawyer by trade who immigrated from Ethiopia as a baby, was endorsed by prominent progressive figures and groups, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., the Democratic Socialists of America and Justice Democrats.

Kiros is a lawyer by trade who says she was fired after she criticized how law firms addressed protests in the wake of Hamas’ 2023 attack on Israel. She framed the law firms as being unnecessarily dismissive of pro-Palestinian protesters by labeling “‘calls for the elimination of the Israeli state’ as antisemitism.”

It’s just one example of how Israel policy has loomed large in the race. Kiros, like allies who have won a handful of prominent Democratic primaries this cycle, has called for “an immediate and unconditional arms embargo on Israel,” as well as “ending all funding to Israel’s military” to create a “just and lasting peace grounded in the equal human rights of all people in the region.”
 
Are her policies Soviet-Mao Marxist?
That she spoke favorably of the above not very long ago is enough to make her persona non grata in my book.
But I guess that it is OK to like authoriran systems, if they are to the left.....
Would you ask the same question about a MAGA praising a right wing dictatorship?

Yes, of course.
 
That was a mistake; Would CNN do?
https://edition.cnn.com/2026/06/01/...ts-defund-abolish-police-prisons-deportations

Of course she regrets making those tweets. But I am of the schoolt that when somebody shows you what they are like, beleive them.
She is a nutjob as much as Marjorie Taylor Green, just on the oppostie end of the politicla horseshow.
Oh, ◊◊◊◊ off with that nonsense. You can disagree with her proposed solution, but don't for a second expect anyone to buy the idea that pointing out racism ingrained into a system is the same as being racist.
 
Lets break this nonsense down, shall we?
You are under the illusion that I never have attacked Republicans for maiking extreme statements. I suggest you look up my posting history on MTG and a couple others. And all the nasty things I have said about Trump

I don't care what you've said about 2 politicians...like...at all. You are perpetually comparing the two parties and claiming both are "as bad", and when someone points out how ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ insane that is you retreat back to the "I'm a victim, no one likes a centrist, everyone gangs up on the middle" nonsense. You are just as political as anyone else, and being a centrist is about the lamest thing in the world today. You're saying that one political party that is completely and entirely hell bent on destroying our democracy is the same as the party that wants people fed and to have healthcare. You talk about world war 2 and ◊◊◊◊ all the time. Well this is what you'd be doing during that time in Germany too. Watching Jews, gays, and gypsies get deported and say, "Well, the other side is super bad too" while not doing a ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ thing to change the atrocities that are happening right in front of you. All because you want to high horse other people who aren't as intellectually enlightened as you lol.
And it is clear there is such thing as extremism on the left in your book.

Yes, there is, I just haven't seen this woman do anything more than make a couple tweets. In fact, that's the only ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ thing you've pointed out that she's done. "Oh no, she's liked a few tweets and said some things a few years ago". Big ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ deal, until she actually creates policy or votes for something that is "Mao-ist" or whatever asinine reference you're making today, I think I'll reserve my butthurt for that day.

This is a prime example of my previous point. Trump is literally driving the wrecking ball that's tearing down the rights of Americans, and deporting civilians and you're comparing it to, what? A few ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ tweets from someone who hasn't even been elected to office yet?
And look up the lady. Many new sources that do not have a political ax to grind have quoted her tweers and statments. They are not in dispute.

I wasn't disputing them. I was disputing that I should give a ◊◊◊◊ that she made them. A) I can't vote for her B) she isn't in office and C) by the sounds of her campaign statements her views and outlooks have changed.

AGAIN, pointing out that you're holding up these tweets, that she admits she doesn't stand by, while giving milquetoast criticism in other threads is what makes your whole ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ platform so laughable.
Just be honest and admit no one should be allowed to criticise the left around here.

Criticize them all you want, I don't give a ◊◊◊◊. I criticize them myself when it's relevant. Pointing out your timid condescension of the right while they're tearing the country apart while making a mountain out of a molehill is just that, nothing more, nothing less.
Seriously you get upset if anybody criticises anyone on the left.

No, I don't. I push back when there's reason to push back. I'm also not upset that you're "criticizing the left", I'm acknowledging that you're so committed to this "centrist" lunacy that you have to gripe about a few years old tweets just to try and show that the left has "extremists" in it just like the right does! But they're not even ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ close. You're quoting a one off politician? LOOK AT THE ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ MAINSTREAM GOP.
It is clear that any criticism of extreme statments on the left is doubleplus ungood crimethink around here.

Oh, good, more stupid ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ 1984 quotes. How about you change the ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ record, eh? We've heard this one too many times, and it's not even relevant considering you're aiming this at "the left" while the entire right-wing is telling you to ignore your eyes and ears. You don't even realize how dumb this looks.
