Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said policy differences toward Israel between her and President Biden won’t stop her from supporting him in the November general election.
“Of course,” Omar said Tuesday, when asked by CNN’s Abby Phillip on “NewsNight” whether she would vote for Biden if the election were held that day, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “Democracy is on the line, we are facing down fascism.”
“And I personally know what my life felt like having Trump as the president of this country, and I know what it felt like for my constituents, and for people around this country and around the world,” Omar continued. “We have to do everything that we can to make sure that does not happen to our country again.”
Reminder: downvoting things because you don’t want them to be true doesn’t make them less true.
Democracy is not a social media upvote/downvote system. Don’t confuse the two. Litigate ideas! Don’t shy away from the effort it takes to actually have an opinion worth listening to.
And if you do shy away from the effort of having a developed opinion, don’t become bitter because no one listens to the non-thoughts you have, into which you’ve put no effort.
