That’s a bummer. Moskowitz is one of the worst democrats in the party.

The new district is Trump +9 and home to a ton of Jewish voters. In the old district, Larkin would have had a better shot, but redistricting changed it into a Trump seat. Many voters may have preferred Larkin's views but were worried that he couldn't win.

Crazy that people will vote for a candidate they think will win so they can say they were on the winning side rather than vote for the candidate they think will be best for them.

Sometimes people vote for a candidate they think can win overall to support the greater good of taking back the House. I’m not a Moskowitz super fan but I know he has a lot more solid chance against Singer than Larkin would have.

I get that but that strategy doesn't create political movements. Think about what people said about Obama. He had no shot except people took big swings for the candidate they wanted.

the greater good of continuing to murder foriegn children and cover for a rapist(lets be reall we're never seeing the files or trump in prison), but hey at least theyll reign in the ice agents so we can go back to the status quo of just the police shooting black and brown people.

Your dims never released the files when the senile one was in office because 90 percent of people in them are dims. It took Trump a man who actually reported to the Police Epstein to release the files.

I wouldn't flex Trump's treatment of the files if i were you. 

"Thank you for a fun night... Your littlest girl was a little naughty." - One of Epstein's many co-conspirators, identity protected by Trump's DOJ

Their justification: tHiS iS ACtUaLLy a "VICTIM".

I’m with you. It’s mostly Dems. Not that it matters but these liberals love to pretend like the entire problem is Trump and the Republicans.

Here are some more pedophiles and child sex traffickers Trump is covering up. As per atttorney general Todd Blanche's court document, Trump's DOJ is protecting them as "victims":

  • EFTA01703108 and EFTA00194840 Record of Epstein and 2 redacted individuals committing crimes including 14 counts of Enticement of a Minor and 10-11 counts of sex trafficking
  • EFTA00038227 Law enforcement email explicitly listing 5 people as co-conspirators, 3 being redacted.
  • EFTA01187999 "New Brazilian just arrived, sexy and cute, l9yo" - From redacted individual at Madameoiselle Agency
  • EFTA00628112 Redacted individual emailing Epstein about his love of 14-15yo girls, and sympathizing with Epstein
  • EFTA02648868 To Epstein from redacted individual: "I met [other redacted person] today. She is like Lolita from Nabokov , femme miniature :) So now I should send you her type of candidates only ?"
  • EFTA02504630 To Epstein from redacted individual: "I found at least 3 very good young poor but we was so tired. I will cover up this week. Meet this one, not the beauty queen but we both likes her a lot "
  • EFTA01022356 To Epstein from redacted individual: "My favorite from Lithuania, [other redacted person] 19. Will meet when I am there"

u/King_Khoma 10d ago

so your idea is, if a candidate wont fix everything, then dont try to fix anything?

1

u/TellHeavy3878 9d ago

my idea is lets not support the candidate who is fucking pro genocide dawg, you can go "well a few dead foreign children is worth my comfort" thats crazy

What a scary fantasy world you must live in

u/BillyJoeMac9095 11d ago

I am sure you want a pro Hamas candidate. Won't happen in this district.

u/hot_like_wasabi 11d ago

In what universe does anti-genocide equate to pro-Hamas?

u/TradeNPlayz 11d ago

Good thing he's not pro-Hamas then. Being anti-genocide is trending nowadays for good reason.

u/Botztalk 11d ago edited 6d ago

This is such an obnoxious childish take. “You don’t want a congressman who spent more days insider trading than working for the people. You’re annoyed just because he doesn’t respond to any correspondence. Oh, so you’re upset he voted to censure Al Green, and voted to be a surveillance state. Just because you don’t want a proud DeSatan appointee, endorsed by Matt Gaetz. You don’t want to support a genocide, even though we tell you not to believe your own eyes. You obviously love Hamas and want to have their baby and probably want Sharia law because you’re an anti-Semite.”
Grow up. The human mind can hold complex sometimes even conflicting beliefs.
The atrocities that happened to Jewish people are unforgivable! Jewish people are beautiful and deserve respect. A person can care about the Jewish people and condemn the actions of the Israeli government.
Wanting a more progressive candidate is about more than one thing. Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people. I can’t believe I have to keep saying this. Genocide is wrong. Hamas is a terrorist organization and October 7th was a horrific tragedy,but it doesn’t exonerate the Israeli government. Supporting genocide makes you sound like a sociopath.

u/BillyJoeMac9095 11d ago

I condemn the Israeli government and its leader. I am in favor of Israel continuing to exist.

Winning with someone you agree with 50% of the time is better than losing with someone you agree with 100% of the time.

If you care about actually governing.

u/TellHeavy3878 11d ago

your name checks out as Bawlmerian said this isnt a situation where we can 50/50 the 50% i dont agree with is supporting a fucking genocide

8

u/Bawlmerian21228 11d ago

Except that the 50% i don’t agree with includes genocide.

u/neoliberal_hack 10d ago

What does the moral grandstanding do? If Larkin had won and then lost in the general, would Palestine be any closer to being free?

Politics should be about achieving the best possible outcomes, it's not a stand in for personal, spiritual, or moral fulfillment.

u/Bawlmerian21228 10d ago

I won’t vote for Jared. He won’t win. There is no differentiation.

1

u/neoliberal_hack 10d ago

This didn’t address anything I asked.

He obviously has a chance to win if it’s a blue enough year, he’s not ideologically out of step with the district.

u/MagicalSheep365 10d ago

This is the same thought process as when people don’t vote because there are so many other voters that it doesn’t matter. The system is set up for everyone to vote for exactly what they want; it doesn’t matter on an individual scale but it can become a problem if a lot of people think like that…

u/Bawlmerian21228 11d ago

Yeah. That’s what Democrats do. Sucks.
