"A woman who was #elected on Tuesday to a leadership position in the influential #Brooklyn #DemocraticParty has apologized for a #socialmedia post from last year that amplified #antisemitic comments and #conspiracytheories.
#CarmellaCharrington, whose #candidacy was supported by #democraticsocialist lawmakers, recirculated a video that highlighted a series of pamphlets in a newspaper owned by #HenryFord, the industrialist who founded #Ford Motor Company, that later became a book in the 1920s. The book highlighted well-worn conspiracy theories that #Jews controlled business and the media, and it blamed them for many of the country’s problems.
“The only way to change is understanding the truth!” Ms. #Charrington wrote in her post, which was first reported by #Jewish Insider.
Reached by telephone on Friday, Ms. Charrington said she was not antisemitic[...]" :fozzie_wocka_wocka:

Williams irked #Republicans for using #stateparty #resources to #promote his #losing #congressional #candidacy in the #5thCongressionalDistrict.
It also released #antiLGBTQ #messages during his tenure, including one claiming that “#godless #groomers in our #society want to attack what is #decent, #holy, and #righteous” during the month of #June, also known as #PrideMonth. The #state #GOP also posted on #X “Burn all the #prideflags this June.”

In a bombshell #decision, #Colorado's #SupremeCourt on Tuesday ruled that former President Donald #Trump's #candidacy in the state is prohibited on #constitutional grounds.
"A #majority of the #court holds that former #PresidentTrump is #disqualified from holding the office of #President under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment of the #UnitedStates #Constitution."

#RFKjr has just proven that his so-called #candidacy is all about his #ego, and his #vanity. Realizing that his run for #president is a joke that's going nowhere, he's abandoning his #Democratic affiliation and running as an #independent. This way, he'll be able to continue using this phony run for president as a platform to spread bullshit #conspiracyTheories, and hurt #JoeBiden. Bobby is a #disgrace whose actions will make a #Trump presidency more likely.

The European Union is open to Georgia becoming a member, the EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said Thursday, but warned Tbilisi needed to implement sweeping reforms to get candidate status.
The EU recognised Georgia's "European perspective" last year but deferred its membership application, while granting candidacy to Ukraine and Moldova, arguing Tbilisi needed to make changes first.

#CornelWest is another narcissistic, "I'm in it for me" rabble rouser who believes that going against the grain is a political #ideology. His so-called #candidacy is a joke without a punchline. All he's doing is feeding his #ego at the expense of the best interests of the nation. And for what? At the end of the day, he'll just be another quirky also-ran in the footnote of #history.

Just saw this: "I would vote for him in a heartbeat if it looked like he was going to win."
[This was in response to Cornel West's announcement of his #presidential #candidacy, but it could be any 3rd party #candidate.]
That's been the dilemma for quite a while hasn't it? Do you #vote for the #candidate you like the most and/or think is best, or do you just stick to one of the 2 (it's only ever 2) who "have a chance"?
Assuming a "lesser of two evils" scenario, do you...

Don’t fall for any "No Labels" baloney. It’s the last thing we need in 2024
A #third-#party #candidacy is a shiny object, a bright bauble that is superficially appealing. But it’s actually the last thing we need.
And by “we” I mean the sensible, still sane portion of the electorate (Democrats and Republicans alike) that wants to ensure above all that Donald Trump or some other truly extremist anti-democracy candidate doesn’t become president again.
