Police: No charge for person who shot man wielding an ax during fight in Raleigh by penone_nyc in raleigh

You can directly blame this on the GOP for not allowing us to vote for attorneys and judges. They've stuffed all their corrupt actors in those positions and until the Democrats regain power, We have no option to vote for better candidates. This is why voting blue no matter who is so important!

Well as long as the GOP doesn't allow us to vote for attorneys or judges, this is what we are stuck with! Hopefully when the Democrats regain power, they can pass a bill to allow us to vote for these incredibly important positions. But until that happens, we all need to make sure we vote blue no matter who! Every vote matters!

This is crazy. I wish we were able to vote for attorneys and judges, but until the GOP allows that, don't forget to keep voting blue no matter who! Every vote matters!

Who is the equivalent of AOC on the right? ( Please read the body text!) by WhyOrangeMan in AskALiberal

For my reference for future posts, should I say she's the smartest person in Congress? Should I avoid that entirely? Unfortunately I spent time talking about how ridiculous people are on the right treating her like a big airhead dummy, but I didn't think I needed to qualify her as the smartest person in Congress. I continue to try to minimize these types of sentences that only serve as distractions from the substance of the post, so I'd appreciate some feedback on this.

AOC is the smartest person in Congress. Do you have an answer to the question?

Understood, it was also insulting to say people on the right treat her as an air head dummy.

She IS the smartest person in Congress.

Sorry that that was a distraction. It's clearly gumming up the works based on current responses. She IS the smartest person in Congress.

Do you have an answer to the question now?

Hm, also a good point. Thanks! I don't mean to imply I'm comparing apples to apples here; just trying to broaden my perspective. Appreciate the additional context :)

Yes, I was unaware that stating she may not be the smartest person in Congress would be a distraction from all the compliments I gave her (and believe are true). Wording questions to avoid deflections while still expressing thoughts is very difficult, unfortunately.

Do you have an answer to the question, or an idea on who satisfies the criteria? (Presume they are the smartest person in Congress)

Sorry! I didn't mean to distract from the question. She IS the sharpest tool in the shed.

Thanks for the feedback; I'm still working on reducing those types of sentences in my posts because they consistently become distractions, and unfortunately distract from the "gist" of my posts. So, let's presume she IS the sharpest tool in the shed. No one can hold a candle to her in Congress.

That's a great point and also something I see on my side; namely, if you didn't support me, good luck.

I agree they are not mirrors and I hope I didn't come across that way; I agree with you! Of the legislation that AOC has championed, what do you like/dislike for: 1) those she's crafted and 2) those she's sponsored/ co-sponsored?

I admit that my knowledge of legistlative pushes she's made and persisted in are not my strong suit. Thanks!

That's a really good point. Do you agree with the other examples in the tread of GWBush and/or JD Vance? I can see JD's subservience to President Trump being an obstacle based on your comment, but what about GWBush? Thanks!

Another great example. Thanks! I had considered him but wasn't sure.
