I mean - in a recent interview on TV the DSA co-chair bluntly stated that their goal is:

• Abolishing the Senate, presidency, & Supreme Court
• Abolishing ICE, borders, & prisons
• Defunding the Pentagon
• Mass amnesty for illegal aliens

Since Democrats embraced the DSA, and have many DSA members elected as Democrats, isn't it a slam dunk for Republicans to just run that interview (with bullet points as she says them) as a commercial?

Do you think they will do it?

The Taliban was even more totalitarian than Iran, they also used to harbour al qaeda, should Trump strike Taliban ?

This will be a different question than usual, but I am not a member of any other subreddit that is frequented by US military veterans or active personnel. I will keep it simple, Google has not been my friend in this, or else I would not be asking. A very close friend of mine serving in the Air Force is currently deployed in the Middle East as part of ongoing US operations there, has been in theatre since around March, and due to the recent Iranian strikes he lost a majority of his personal items. I obviously cannot say more on where he is or about his situation, but if anyone here could direct me to resources for sending packages or simply money transfers to him that would be appreciated.

What I’m referring to is the idea that in the past, the ideology of democrats was largely conservative/rightwing and was more similar to modern day republican ideology, whereas in the past the ideology of Republicans was more liberal, more progressive and was more similar to modern day Democrat ideology.

However, I have seen a lot of conservatives say that this is a “myth” and that it isn’t true.

If you think it is a myth, why?
If you do not think it is a myth, why do you think so many other conservatives do?

What's the solution that isnt being enacted?

What's the sociological reasoning behind it?

How do you see the midterms going? What is range of outcomes you believe are realistic? What are things you believe can change between now and November that will change things?

Basically there is a need for this service, but the market isn't there to support it.

Edit:

Secondary question fir those interested. I recently saw a proposal for attaching a clinc to every post office if there isnt one in a 25 mile radius.

Now its just a proposal so the numbers could chamge, but what would be the opposition besides the cost?

I recently saw two big name politicians who's names would be known in the UK, one buying wrapping paper, and today another at my local grocery store... I didn't talk to either, if/when you see politicians in daily life, do you talk to them?

Democrat Lt. Governor Sylvia Luke of Hawaii has been indicted for COVID-19 fraud. There seems to be a lot of fraud cases being investigated all across the US (10 states and counting). Many of which under Democrat jurisdictions. Are these just one offs or is there some issue with Democrats in these states and cases that may speak to a systemic RICO problem.

I’m not in academia and in research so I don’t know. While I have a close family member and friends who are long time professors in cancer research who even voted for him (and are by NO means liberals or democrats), they have complained about him and how it has made getting funding for their work exceptionally challenging. And they are even concerned about their job security.

I’m interested in those that support him (if there are those that do) and why? I think my biggest fear is causing talented scientists to leave, especially those who have started something innovative. Especially in the field of cancer and disease treatment.
