That's what cued me to hate him even more. My mom makes every excuse when I bring that up, even to this day.
I dunno why people are upset about this. I see the majority of people complaining about Dems "taking the high road" and avoiding dirty tactics like the Republicans take. "They should take the gloves off and get dirty on the low road", "fight at their level!" I read.
Then as soon as Crockett does take one glove off and makes one borderline offensive comment the reaction is largely, "ugh, no need to be ableist".
Guys, what the hell do you think the 'low road' is?
It doesn't start at breaking the law and blocking supreme court noms, it starts at political midslinging, and the dems are getting "wow that's going too far". Lol. They will not escalate to a higher level of personal risk such as breaking protocols and laws (as the R's do) if they're knocked back at the first rung. They see the public has a preference: protocol above results.
(I'm about to get replies about how mudslinging needs to be carefully crafted to avoid any offensive terms to any group now. Be real. That is not always possible)
Yeah, I'm fine with a black lady basically going "if I'm dei, what does that make you?'
Dems need to remember that if it’s not nazi rhetoric, it’s on the right side. The bar has been lowered to fascism and we still try to hold each other to absolute political correctness.
We don’t have that luxury anymore. Do you believe in equality, the right to vote, the equal applicability of law to even the highest office? Great, you pass. Bonus points if you believe in a strong social safety net.

He literally called Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas in his address to congress. That’s literal racism.

Yeah, if you aren't aware of the hypocrisy on the right and the 'rules for thee but not for me' mentality you really haven't been paying attention.

My position is that no politician deserves respect.
A politian is an elected representative. Their appointment depends on those who put their trust on them.
How politians managed to create a compulsory respect towards them evades me. The position they occupy is not theirs and, for what it counts, makes them the voters and state (as in, every citizen) servants.
It shouldn't BE a position that demands respect, it should be viewed as public service. We are their boss, we pay them. (I mean, we used to pay them, before we decided to allow corporations to own politics, now whatever salary they get as a politician is pennies compared to what the lobbyists give them.)
If you look at political leaders and feel the need to use Midjourney to make a picture of them shirtless and muscular and oiled up while killing terrorists, you have a serious mental handicap.

Respect is earned not entitled.
I see it the other way around. Respect can be lost.
Treating people with respect is my standard setting. I may stop that if they lose my respect.
This is getting into semantics but I try to treat people decently until they lose the right to that through actions. You have to earn respect.

Well a Republican wouldn't be a Republican if they're weren't hypocritical, whiney-ass beotches after all.
A good Republican is a two faced hypocritical Republican. Cant trust them as far as you can throw them.
I had no idea she said this until now and was like wtf is is hot wheels? Then read the comments....it's Abbott!
Jasmine Crockett just gained more respect from me. Fuck "hot wheels"! Hahaha
I'm out of the loop.
We in texas call our shitty governor hotwheels because he's in a wheelchair
Abbott's neighbor's tree branch fell on him. He sued his neighbor and used the money to run for governor. He immediately changed the law so lawsuits like his are capped and no one else can sue for as much as he won. I prefer to call him "limp dick Greg" but some like "little piss baby"
