@MccainGOP @NVindependent1 Yeah, surek why not. As long as she fits state requirements.

@MccainGOP @NVindependent1 No it isn't anyone can run for anything as long as they fulfill the state requirements.

@TheLastNeocon It confuses me why the vice president ever became a Catholic considering the Catholic Church places a lot of importance on universal aid for the poor. Also sorry to be nitpicky but Vance seems to advocate Aquinas's ordo caritatis instead of Augustine's Ordo Amoris.

@BarneyFlames I suppose it's t's true in a sense. The French crown would have claimed a similar right over people born in its lands. Though this is very much abstract. Due to borders not really being enforced in the 1000's

Someone at the DNC should include this in every ad until 2029

Trump on housing affordability: I don't want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up.

@ArchysLife Too be fair Catholic socialism was and is a thing that in its heyday was supported by at least some clergy. Though I do believe there arguments were less about Christ specifically and more the apostles and early church.

@MakeUSAVAT @TheLastNeocon But then that shuts people who do think immigration is a right out of the discussion just acting like that viewpoint doesn't exist, does not make that true.

@BarneyFlames This also doesn't include the large reduction in investment and the fact that ,ore businesses started to struggle due to the increased bureaucracy to export things to Europe.

@BarneyFlames It is though a 6% gdp loss is going to be felt by the general public

@DastDn I believe there has been some proof that Democrats vastly prefer giving directly to candidates then to the national committee.

@LinkofSunshine Also parts of Europe would not have considered themselves racially homogeneous. Due to them viewing different ethnic groups how we view race today.

@BasedIllinoisan I don't think that's true no one would deny the patriotism of a lot of the revolutionaries of the 17 and 1800s however that didn't mean they didn't actively try to undermine there national government and standing on the world stage.

@JHawleyStan She was speaker of the Maine house back in 2010 that's all I know.

@whoseurlefty @RisingActionRA The Russian imperial project in Ukraine is not that different from the Israeli project in Gaza. Both candidates seem unsupportible if they each support a different invasion.

@hotdamhistorian I am that person; having moral clarity is a progressive virtue. I admit it's unpopular, but that doesn't mean it's wrong.

[Illinois Politics @IL_politic]

@RespectableCon Eh, last time anything close to progressive politics worked down south that was roughly the strategy they pursued

@DutchChrInd I'm not convinced I feel as though the British government has yet to turn up actual material proof that what there doing will improve children's mental health.

[Illinois Politics @IL_politic]

@IrishPatri0t2 I'm actually really curious about if there's a specific source on this? And if so where could I find it.

[Illinois Politics @IL_politic]

@AustinHoney30 I think it's hard to find a label to stick on Peltola. She is certainly a populist however she is focused on alaska specific issues it's hard to find a label past that. Issues in Alaska are just so different then those in the rest of America.

@denimneverdies I say progressive because the concept of only allowing fault divorce and rejecting violent retribution were rather radical at the time. There was a reason over 2/3rd's of the early church were women, Christians were seen as the most pro-women group at the time.
