[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's clearly out of her depth. This is what happens when you elect an activist with no actual policy experience.[/quote]

She lives in a binary world. You are either with her or against her. There is no middle ground.[/quote]

Agree or disagree with her, she is very passionate about her activism. She’s a great activist! She cares deeply about trans LGBTQ issues.

What she is not, is a good council woman. She should never have gone into it, and she should not run again. She should keep her focus on her passion projects, where she will be very effective for them.

I browse her Twitter and you can tell what she cares about. I don’t see the apology on there, unless I missed it in one of her threads.

If you live in her district, and if she runs again, here's what you can do: vote for a different candidate. If you don't live in her district? *shrug*

Meanwhile the substance of what she said is correct. Even if the so-called-"Christian" nationalists/white supremacists happen to be on the same side as the Muslim parents at the protest on this specific issue, they are antithetical to everyone who is non-white and/or has any religious beliefs that aren't their particular brand. If anybody at the protest had asked me, I would have said: Don't ally with people who believe you have no right to exist, because you will lose even if you win.[/quote]

For god's sake, [b]Muslims are not aligning with white supremacists.[/b]   Muslims are opposing the removal of an opt-out option in public school instruction. White supremacists are protesting LGBTQA existence.  Only Kristin sees these as the same thing.[/quote]

It was a joint protest event.[/quote]

Moms for Liberty may be anti-LGBTQ+, but they are not white supremacists. [/quote]

They are a national organization that has explicitly and repeatedly opposed lesson plans around civil rights. If they are not white supremacist, they are absolutely aligned with white supremacists in their desire to downplay a history of racial discrimination in this country.

I think CAIR is going to regret partnering with them, to be honest, because they have some fringe beliefs that absolutely will result in backlash against Muslim American communities. [/quote]

Well if progressives in Moco think Muslims have white supremacist views then I'm not sure where else they are going to find allies. And this whole Muslim as white supremacist thing....wow. I'm kind of guessing that the extreme left just uses the "white supremacist" label on minority groups to other them without looking biased?[/quote]

Once again, very slowly, I will repeat.

No one is saying that Muslims have white supremacist views. People are saying that some Muslim (including a prominent Muslim American lobbying group) have chosen to align themselves with white supremacists on this issue. Those people believe that this is a mistake, both because even a temporary and situational alignment with white supremacists is bad, and because white supremacists have a nasty habit of turning on you when the temporary alignment ends.

[b]
Do you realize how insane it is to compare two groups who have nothing to do with each other?[/b]  It's an intentional attempt to change the discussion from religious people simply asking for an opt-out, to know throw them in the same bucket with a hate group, because they happen to agree on one issue.

It would be like if Donald Trump said he liked the Washington Nationals, and I said "yeah me too".

OH SO YOU ARE ON THE SAME SIDE AS DONALD TRUMP ON THIS ONE, HUH?![/quote]

They were literally protesting the same thing at the same protest event. That's not "nothing to do with each other." It was a mistake for MoCo CAIR to have the joint protest with "Moms for Liberty", in my opinion. They should have had their own protest event.[/quote]
