oh man, the irony in the above statement is just off the charts. Where's my irony detector? Oh it just exploded.
Not really. The DNC is scared to death of Omar and AOC. They are so scared of Omar they had to introduce a bill because of her rampant anti-Semitism. Omar can't even stop herself from tearing down Obama, which is just so mind-numbingly stupid it is beyond belief, if you are a Dem supporter. If AOC and Omar are the new face of the Democratic party, get used to losing a lot of elections. And supporting racist anti-semites.
I don't agree about not engaging with white nationalists, obviously, because here I am engaging with you. I think anybody and everybody should be engaged with, because just because you apply a label to someone doesn't make it true. It's just a label that seeks to further divide people via identity politics. "Crazy" ideas becoming center or moderate ideas does have some historical basis, however, the true test is if these ideas actually are sustainable, or if they turn your country into Venezuela. When ideas become reality, and that reality results in the greater good being served.
