Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said policy differences toward Israel between her and President Biden won’t stop her from supporting him in the November general election.

“Of course,” Omar said Tuesday, when asked by CNN’s Abby Phillip on “NewsNight” whether she would vote for Biden if the election were held that day, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “Democracy is on the line, we are facing down fascism.”

“And I personally know what my life felt like having Trump as the president of this country, and I know what it felt like for my constituents, and for people around this country and around the world,” Omar continued. “We have to do everything that we can to make sure that does not happen to our country again.”

    I would agree with you, had I not just had a conversation with a friend about a discord they’re in being infected with the “U.S. is a totalitarian state” tankie bullshit.

    Indoctrination works both ways, it isn’t just conservatives.

        Nah, these people are just garden variety idiots. My friend was roommates with one, dumbfuck wasted a ton of his tuition money on drugs and all of a sudden he’s communist.

        Edit: downvotes huh? Sounds like we’ve got some people who spent their money unwisely here. Adds up.
