    These days one has to check what sort of “antisemitism”: the sort that says that the Palestinian people have a right to self-determination, or the “Jews eat babies” type, or…

    she’d turn an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center “into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking,” going on to claim that many Zionists are “pedophiles.”

    Yeah that doesn’t look good.

        She also talks about wanting to mass castrate pedophiles and attacked the San Antonio Current for basically just reprinting what she said, and the amount of money that got thrown at her primary campaign out of nowhere by an organization that set things up so they won’t have to report their donors until after the election is really strange at best, so I really think she’s a bit crazy and her campaign is going to implode no matter what at this point,

        But what a fucking fumble from the Dems. With a little bit of support from the party maybe we could’ve toned down her weirdest shit and run a good campaign here, but no, we’re just going to hand a house seat to the Republicans I guess.

    I’m GLAD Democrats are FINALLY going after Nazis in their Ranks! Criminals in their Ranks! People who HATE Genocide! Good thing they did that 2024 Report!

    Galindo, a therapist

    That’s kind of a giveaway that she’s another Crockett, a literal straw-woman propped up by fascist donors who hope to torch her for an easy R win.

    Sure, any therapist could also want to persecute Jews, but to reconcile that desire with being a mental health advocate takes a special brew of crazy.

    The donor ploys are obvious. It makes them look dumb and desperate. Saying that, fellow voters often find the capacity to get duped. So we’ll see, I guess?

    Edit: Well shit, I missed that she already won the primary. So the dupe took hold and this is the aftermath.

    Also OP: You’re not even trying to hide that you’re a fascist tool? What a fulfilling life you must have.

      I don’t see her saying anything about wanting to persecute Jews. I see her saying that she wants to imprison American Zionists, but like half of those are evangelical Christians.

      I definitely don’t like how she’s now blaming a local journalist for her getting death threats when that reporter just reprinted what she said, and who knows who is behind her with American campaign finance laws being what they are, so I would be very surprised if her campaign doesn’t collapse in the general,

      But the fact that the Democratic party couldn’t work with this lady and teach her a little bit of messaging discipline before things got to this point is a mistake that’s now going to haunt us all summer. She has some questionable judgment but seems like somebody who could have been worked with, but now instead we’re just going to give a House seat to the GOP because of a moderate purity test.
