That’s a weak ass response?
You are a trumpkin. A trumpkin pretending to be woke by bashing democratic leadership. Either that or you reek of ignorance about the political process in the US
Yes. Why would someone that voted for a republican be pushing narratives to divide the left and suppress the left’s vote?
You didn’t vote against trump and haven’t committed to vote against him. Your votes indicate you support everything trump has done in office and everything he would do from 2021 to 2024.

Weld is a republican that was running as a libertarian.
Why are you pushing GOP narratives in left leaning threads?
If you are so “upset” with democratic leadership, why won’t you commit to vote against trump?
Are you ignorant of the fact that the US is a two party democratic system designed to move the country in two directions?
Dixon Hur didn’t vote against Trump. Dixon Hur is calling folks on the left trumpkins. Dixon Hur is lambasting democratic leadership over timing of impeachment. Dixon Hur is pushing the divide the left narrative that the GOP wants pushed in left leaning threads. Dixon Hur has come out as abstaining from the 2020 election unless a certain candidate wins the Democratic primary, which fits perfectly with GOP effort to suppress the lefts vote.
What other narratives would the GOP want pushed in these threads?
The 3 most important things with all this.
The White House intervened to stop a whistle blower report from getting to Congress.
Trump spoke with a foreign government to get them to investigate his political opponent. Trump’s attorney did the same.
At the same time, Trump personally withheld millions in funding from that country.
That is damning and needs to be cycled over and over in the media
Ok. Let’s assume that is true.
Do want to solve this widespread corruption problem?
The best way would be to vote for those will support HR1 in the House. It would strengthen ethics rules and limit the influence of private donors.

BoTh SiDeS aRe ThE sAMe is a meme because people make fun of folks that use false equivalency, whataboutism.
It is just a diversion so you will think maybe it’s ok for trump to be corrupt
Stop spreading lies and misinformation.
Pelosi is not ok with trump’s behavior.
That is dangerous bullshit. The right is pushing the divide the left narrative to get folks to stay home in 2020. You would make them proud.
No matter how strong your emotions get about disagreeing with Pelosi and the majority of the House, don’t lie.
The trump campaign line here is simply to get the Biden-Ukraine idea in the media as much as possible, no matter how inaccurate or baseless, so that folks will eventually start to think that corruption occurs on both sides. “It’s ok trump did something shady with other countries since Biden did something shady also. Everyone does shady stuff.”
The right wing media machine and politicians will all pump this out just like they did with the Hillary corruption line.
Stop spreading lies and misinformation.

If anyone knows Hugo in real life, hit him across the back of the head, and tell him, “stop being a gop tool.”
Your stance is completely disconnected from the politically reality of the US. It reeks of ignorance. So much so, that this is exactly the narrative that a right wing troll would push in left-leaning discussion boards.
The US has two parties that represent two directions of the country. It always has and will into the immediate future. That is reality.
Choosing to abstain from voting against trump is absolute approval of who he is and what he is doing. There is no question about it.
Voter apathy is one thing and a big problem, but rationally deciding to not vote against trump is approval of what he has done and more importantly, it is also support for everything he will do from 2021 to 2024.
This a two party democratic system
Big boy politics. Social media manipulation. Division of the left. Voter suppression.
I recommend instead of buying into the division of the left narrative (which obviously is an ongoing goal of the right btw) and contemplating voting for trump that you take a breath, step back, see the big picture.
Dividing the left is classic - BLM attacking Bernie (remember when that incident on stage), Bernie bros leaving Hillary, fake twitter accounts telling black folks to not vote, the Al Franken’s travesty. The seeds of all of those movements started from the right FYI. This is not different.
For your sake, after trump’s dissident roundup, I hope the concentration camps will be providing feminine toiletry items. Maybe until then, you should get into recruiting
This was reported by CNN on August 30th. The stated reason for holding funds from Ukraine was because Trump wanted to make budget cuts to foreign aid. Trump is concerned about our deficit folks!

I don't think any of that info is sourced. It is times like this that misinformation campaigns ramp up. That could be to muddy the waters a bit.
We had Rudy jump out and stop the slow trickle of information.
We've got a likely white house official telling WSJ that there wasn't a quid pro quo. Muddy the water.
Trump trying to label the whistle blower "partisan." Eventually, I suspect GOPers in the House start to parrot this.
This is there standard playbook on putting out fires. There will likely be a lot more muddying and partisan labels.
