In reply to the discussion: Anyone has any idea about NY-11 Max Rose chance (Staten Island/south Brooklyn district) [View all]beastie boy
(9,345 posts)this thread. And Tulsi is hardly a fitting comparison to Rose. While I agree with you on these issues, I want to keep my comments limited to Rose and his campaign. Rose is running in a district that has been staunchly conservative for generations, and he turned it blue. If you were considering a hypothetical Democratic candidate who is decidedly liberal yet capable of turning a red district blue, an unapologetic defender of unions, a supporter of public health care option, believes the eligibility age for Medicare should be lowered to the age of 50, who refuses to accept campaign donations from corporate PACs and lobbyists, and who would vote to impeach Trump despite his reservations, would you hold his approval of Trump's executive order on antisemitism against him? I wouldn't.
You may object, as I do, to Rose's professed zero allegiance to the Democratic Party, but in this objection, would you overlook his record that strongly aligns with the left wing of the Democratic Party?
