I can't get over the people who are so Left that they don't vote, and believe that sends a message to anybody. The world does not care at all about people who disenfranchise themselves. When you have a chance to be heard, take it!

I respect those people way more than those who see the Democratic Party as a force for meaningful change and actually representing the people that vote for them.

I don't. Once you decide to bench yourself, you're out of the game. Change doesn't come from people who've already given up. Non-voters never won a single election, nor passed a single law.

They have something in common with corporate Democrats then, who have no interest in passing laws. Particularly on abortion, which should easily trump any claims that we have to vote for them because of Roe v Wade.

I'm all for voting every incumbent federal politician at every level. None of them deserve re-election.

Well, that's why I'm running; and that's why I want everyone who's been let down by the status quo to vote! 💙

Yes, but my memory is long enough that I remember you tweeting this. He was right and you were wrong.

If this is how he treats #TheSquad first day back, I wonder who he thinks his allies are in Congress?

Hmm, no, he was still wrong in calling a sitting member of congress "sweetie". Sassy is fun, but it's not productive, and I still support the Squad; I want to expand it so we as Progressives have the voting power to change things. I don't know what you expected from 6 out of 435.
And true to Eric's principles, he didn't even bother to put himself on the ballot in the end. I did. And that's what matters: can't win if you never put yourself in the game.

Not that you're going to have the chance to join the Squad, but if you did, you could tweet about governing and not govern just like they do.
Still respect anyone who puts themself out there for office though, especially in a sure losing situation. Including Eric.
