You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American.

People forget that there were ~60,000 Mamdani-Trump in the NYC mayor election. These people can be won over with a popular message like being anti data-centers instead of catering to the Cheneys

Absolutely tragic that Dr. Miller didn't go this viral last year when he was running for the state house

At least he's getting some recognition now for his decades of public service

Axios: Virginia councilman goes viral campaigning for more sidewalks

Miller, a 78-year-old cardiologist, is one of 11 candidates running for four at-large seats on Danville City Council.

And his video arguing sidewalks are a public safety issue has racked up over 8 million views across TikTok, Instagram and X.

"It's the crosswalk a senior uses to get to the grocery store. It's the path a child walks to school, or the way a neighbor rolls a wheelchair," he says.

On July 3rd, I celebrate the day the U.S. Army (with 35,000 Pennsylvanians in its ranks) drove the traitor forces from the fields of Gettysburg, turned the tide of the war to end slavery, and saved the Union.

Never forget: Lee was an oath breaking traitor, the head of a military force fighting for a slaver oligarchy to overthrow the American government. And he was a loser.

…and it is about thE WESTERN PART OF VIRGINIA AND NOT WEST VIRGINIA THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

[Shenandoah VA Democrats 🥊4⚖️ @va_dems]

This is @RepBenCline's guy, his only constituent. Tired of this crap? Vote @papergirlmacy for a MOC who votes on OUR behalf.

[Virginia Political Memes @VApoliticalmeme]

Danville, VA councilman Dr. Gary Miller has gone viral on Instagram and TikTok (nearly 5 million views) with his promise to build more sidewalks. Good governance works!

@GoadGatsby Absolutely disqualifying

[Jake Cooke @Jake4TheValley]

If only Tim was still in the GA to fight against such dangerous ideas like "consumer rebates" or "flood preparedness" but alas, he lost his last three House elections

[Tim Anderson @AssocAnderson]

Spanberger imposes a RGGI tax on all Virginians power bill. Bills go up because of it.

Democrats then agree to send 45% back as utility rebate to help lower costs.

This is so insane.

Our bills are higher because of Democrats.

Then they give us part of it back and want to be thanked?

[Jet Jackson @Bari_3J]

Boys scared of socialism but are ok with bailouts for companies. Ok man lol

[Jake Cooke @Jake4TheValley]

Yeah keep focusing on NYC man, That's what The Valley *really* cares about.

Not the hospitals you've helped close or the farm-killing tariffs you keep defending or the illegal war you've repeatedly voted against ending.

"Scary socialists" in NYC, that's the #1 issue here

[Ben Cline @Cline4Virginia]

Move over, AOC - the newest Congresswoman-to-be from NYC wants to “ERADICATE WESTERN CIVILIZATION!”

This is Beth Macy’s Democrat party, folks - radically left and marching us toward socialism.

congressional democrats, whose approval rating has just barely been above pediatric cancer’s for the last decade, trying to get into a “it’s him or us” stand-off with Zohran Mamdani

[Sara McGee for Texas HD 132 @SaraForTexLege]

I say this with no ill will and *some* animosity. I am a Democrat. I earned the nomination to be the person facing the Republican incumbent in Texas House District 132.

Over the last 18 months, I’ve built my own team using my OWN resources and collectively we have knocked on over 40,000 doors in that time.

Unless something crazy happens in the next 6 days, I will file a TEC report that shows that my campaign has ~$2,500 COH.

So when you say “Don't use our resources.” Literally what resources?

“Don't rely on our volunteers.” I’m sorry, WHOSE volunteers? Because you do not own volunteers.

“Don't use our infrastructure.” WHAT INFRASTRUCTURE? Because I am out here on an island in west Harris County and I may not even be able to afford yard signs ffs.

And last but not least: “Don't ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.”

Heard.

Loud and clear.

I won’t ask for anything.

I started this campaign knowing that this was a long shot. I had no money, no political experience or connections, and just a burning desire to just give something BETTER to my hometown than what they have now. And every part of my being is committed to achieving that goal.

And Jamie, I promise that I won’t use “your” resources to win.

God I hate politics.

[austerity is theft @wideofthepost]

you guys are arguing before scotus right now that your own top goal scorer shouldn’t be eligible for US citizenship
