This is why Democrats lose.

      She’s pro-Israel. Worth pointing that out. Not sure the government needs more pro-Israel sycophants.

          I’m not scared of what she would do when in power. But having the opinion matters. It matters. You shouldn’t elect people to lead us who don’t treat others like humans. Period.

          I won’t help get her elected for the same reason I won’t help get a member of the KKK elected–and if you can’t see the parallel there, then I won’t help you get elected, either.

            Cool, but if you don’t vote, or vote for someone that doesn’t have a chance of winning, they you basically letting other people decide your fate.

            Primary to your hearts content but don’t throw your hands up at the real election. California could do a lot worse than Porter if you allow it to happen.

              This isn’t a “she pro-Israeli, so no one should vote for her” post, like you seem to be implying. I think its important that all voters know that’s she’s pro-Israel and make their own distinctions.

              Those are not even on the same planet as the same…

            Unironically making a comparison between Katie Porter and the KKK is the most terminally online shit I’ve seen this year

              Your mistake here is to not know or understand what the word “comparison” is.

              The most terminally online shit that I’ve seen this year is you inferring that because two nouns are used in the same sentence then they must be equal. Learn what critical thinking is, and then apply what you’ve learned. I’ll help you later on down the road, I promise.

              Israel v. Palestine isn’t an entire population of terrorists vs the very innocent Israel whose never done anything wrong in their entire lives, ever. It’s a modern genocide. We know that. There are dozens of independent governing bodies who’ve made this distinction. And I’m sorry if it hurts your sensibilities that I can’t advocate for someone who says “maybe we should just drop it! let bygones be bygones!” as if Israel skinned Palestine’s knee and isn’t actively murdering children and calling them agents of Hamas to legitimize it.

              If your brain is that deteriorated, then that’s perfectly fine. You’re entitled to your vote. But mine isn’t, and so am I–and I won’t give it to someone who says some insane shit like that.

            It’s ok to want better representation but at the end of the day you must get someone with some of your views elected instead of someone with none of your views elected, or someone with all of your views 2nd place.
