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.”

    No, but they are doing the opposite of what is needed in this election cycle: hyping up the democratic base. The right stands together lock step and the left plays the no true Scotsman game

        How to tell if someone’s a little mushroom:

        if the left had a candidate I might understand what you are saying.

        “Sleepy Joe is not even worthy of consideration, he’s barely a human! Hillary’s emails!”

        But I’m sure behind the screen you’re very impartial.

          I assume Lemmy user there was referencing the “Democrats are center right” line, which isn’t wrong, but also it’s clear what the person they were replying to meant.

          What do you call a Lemmy user again? Lemmite?
