Is Ilahn Ohmar the next Progressive to be primaried?

[Always in His Presence]

Good for the Democrats!

Two down - Cori Bush and Mr. Fire Alarm are gone - primaried by their own party members.

Is Ihan next?

Ilhan Omar's Democratic Challenger Sends Warning After Cori Bush Loss​

Bush's loss in Missouri on Tuesday to Wesley Bell, the prosecuting attorney for St. Louis County, makes her the second member of the progressive group to lose their seat after Representative Jamaal Bowman earlier this year.​

Omar is Muslim in Michigan, with the highest Muslim population per capita in the country.
They are justifiably horrified at the situation in Gaza and Netanyahu's actions.
Opposing Netanyahu is not anti-semitic. Months ago our Defense Secretary Austin warned him that the situation could easily trigger a war.
So will Omar's district support an Anti-Defamation League supported candidate against her? Never.

I am curious, how many Muslims are actually in her district?

Only 21% of the residents of her district are bilingual and in the 2020 general election there were less than 400,000 votes cast.

Even if every single bilingual person is Muslim it's still a voting population of 80,000 or so who would be Muslim.

It's not really enough to abandon long standing United States allies when they were mercilessly attacked and who in their time of need deserve allies who support them on the world stage in front of our shared enemies.

Less than 2% of the United States population is Muslim. Just saying. It's certainly not time to abandon our allies. Our word should have meaning when we give it.

Our first allegiance should be to God's moral law.
Just war theory demands every effort be made to protect innocent civilians. Netanyahu has bombed them, destroyed their homes, killed and maimed mercilessly, starved them, driven them to the Egyptian border, trapped and unable to get entrance.
Half the Gaza population is under 18--children.
And we have financed it.
To salve our consciences we have built dock yards to deliver food and medicine. It's not enough.
We must tell Netanyahu he dan fight as he wishes, but we are not financing it. Not a penny more.

Now could we have some extremist R's get primaried out?

Not likely. R's dont seem quite done with their walk on the radical side.

 

[Hazelelponi]

We are a secular country.

Our system of government has God as the entity above government and outside of it, who has bestowed upon man our natural rights in which the government cannot infringe and has a duty to protect.

Morality itself is in the hands of people themselves. It's a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Government reflects us... Not God.

Jesus said my Kingdom is not of this earth. Therefore the Protestants who came and founded the country didn't set one up.

But we can be godly people... We have control of us.

 

[Fantine]

We said the said thing. Individuals who follow God will abhor genocide. Period.

Israel gets 100s of missiles, sometimes daily by Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Hezbollah, etc. How many innocent Israeli woman and children were killed on Oct 7th? 12 Israeli Druze children killed by those missiles. The terror groups do not inform Israeli citizens of a coming attack and yet Israel calls, texts and puts out flyers before an operation. BTW, the Gazan population is controlled by Hamas, they voted them in. Hamas uses them as human shields and steals most of their food/supplies. They fire missiles from schools and hospitals. Are you pro Hamas or pro Palestinian? If you are pro Palestinian then you should be on the side of Israel to destroy that terrorist group that enslaves their people. Give me a break..

So is the “from the river to the sea “ crowd antisemitic? Omar has enough other problems that should send her home.

Democrats, it's what they do!

I like the half of your certainty that predicts a Harris administration.

The Omar part is a little far out tho.
