Dude, you've profiled me so wrong on that healthcare issue. I'll take that as my final cue that this has no chance on being an actual discussion. Berate away.

I've been hearing this same rhetoric for decades & the left has done nothing but erect purity tests. Focus on conservative Dems.You're spending your time insulting a solid progressive in a deep blue district. If you can't convince me, how will you ever convince enough voters to make headway?

Berating people, the classic way to win hearts and minds.

I actually did, but I don't live in NY so it wasn't my decision. I do live in IL9.

Equating even mainstream Dem politics, let alone the strong progressive record of Schakowsky, with this current admin is absurd. Your little darling's politics of just a few years ago is a lot closer to MAGA than Schakowsky's ever was. This isn't a serious discussion. Ciao.

Do you have any familiarity with Chicago politics?

Well, this fluffy carpet bagger ain't it.

Ah, yes. The segment of the left where only disrespect works and that's why you've got at most a handful of elected reps. Your bubble is not the electorate. Maybe acting like leftist MAGAt will convert people? Probably not in the 9th.

That'll look great on your yard sign in the 9th district.

Technically, none yet since they're respectful and waiting for her official announcement on 5/5.

I don't want someone who jumps to simplistic conclusions.

We have so many amazing progressive and younger alders, state senators, and state reps who actually live in the 9th district and I am very much looking forward to voting for one of them.

Assuming someone's age or (lack of) knowledge from the briefest of interactions is not the greatest overture to healthy discussion.
