The daughter of Colombian and Dominican immigrants, Mejia ran on an adamantly anti–Donald Trump message and secured a whopping 70 percent of the vote as a result. The Associated Press called her victory shortly after the votes started rolling in.
70 percent… wow!
The progressive Democrat’s positions echo several of the policies that made Sanders a national phenomenon, including support for universal health care coverage, tuition-free college, student loan forgiveness programs, and strengthening unions and expanding labor protections in order to bolster America’s middle class.
She sounds like a Democrat who wants to win and is against genocide.
Mejia has also been vocal in her criticism of Israel, publicly denouncing the state’s war on Palestine as a genocide. That caught the attention of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which funneled money into the race to bolster her opponents. In the end, the pro-Israel lobby’s efforts may have been one of the reasons that voters in New Jersey sent Mejia to Congress.
Awesome!
But then how will tankies keep complaining about the democrats and how electoral systems don’t work and aren’t worth participating in, to justify their own inaction?
Actually, I don’t care. This is great news.
And the comments already show that tankies are already finding ways to complain about it. Wonder!
They won’t have an issue doing that still. It literally takes them doing a single thing they dislike to shun them entirely. It’s actually absurd most of the time.
It’s almost like they didn’t reason themselves into their positions, but rather started with their own presuppositions and then built arguments around rationalizing their positions.
For the unenlightened, that’s not how intelligent people use discursive reasoning.
