Why are people mad at Tulsi Gabbard? If the President-elect called her up and said he wanted to talk to her, what was she supposed to do?

She's an absurdly hardline islamophobe

So maybe it's Not Great for her to work with Trump on the concentration camps so they can be called bipartisan?

Well, yeah, (and of course you go), but that's a NORM and we apparently don't have them anymore. Like, why should you stand up when Trump enters the room? It's just political correctness, right?

When I lived in Edinburgh there was a nearby mosque that served the most delicious food in the afternoon. I'd get to that mosque any day of the week. Maybe Americans would be less afraid of mosques if they all opened up an adjoining restaurant?

On the other hand, one of my colleagues was virulently right-wing and literally would cross the street to avoid walking on the same side as the mosque, and refused to join us for lunch there because he was afraid they would poison his food.

Now he works for the US government.

Unironically yes that would help.

Also, if the Muslims have some kind of special cartoon or video games, that would help relations too

I went to this :shobon: my first political meeting of any kind so I didn't know what to expect. Very well attended (they had to file some people into an adjoining room due to exceeding fire marshal's capacity) and a few passionate people. Mostly just setting up stuff for the next meetings, but it was clear that there were a lot of newcomer progressives who wanted to learn more.

Bernie wakes up, scratches his groggy eyes, does a big wide armed good morning stretch, hops out of bed and frog-squat plops his gentlemen into a pint glass of distilled ginseng he set out the night before. Time to save America.

DTC committee meeting over. Met the mayor and most of the leading Democrats in town. Around 25 people showed up and 4 of them were new, including myself. Split rather evenly gender wise but it was mostly older white people.

Sadly they did not want full communism now. On the other hand they turned a normally Republican town to having majority on most of the boards in town and a democratic mayor last year. There's enthusiasm and surprisingly they have a good grasp on why they lost their state elections this year. It's definitely a strong machine already that just needs more people helping out. I'm tempted to try and get on an opening on the ethics commission in town after this.

Unfortunately I didn't go to my meeting. It started at 7:00PM and I wouldn't be able to get there until at least 7:35PM. I felt like that would have been awkward being late. Hope I didn't make a mistake.
