This seems like a worse own goal than “defund the police” as a slogan, best of intentions but the execution was so bad.

I’d put heavy money on Republicans running chunks of this interview hard during the run up to the midterms.

I have a sinking fear this will be one of those tragicomic moments of earnest, well intentioned progressives inadvertently helping trump, like when many sat out the 2024 election in a misguided attempt to somehow help Palestinians.

    No, not when you use math. 2 members of the House and 0 in the Senate. That’s 0.4% of the members of Congress.

        They’ve won more elections than democrats recently.

        Then explain how your sentence is remotely factual.

            It still makes no sense. It’s obviously not true. They’ve won more… New York City mayoral elections… recently. That’s true. If I add two qualifiers and talk about only 1 specific election.
