#Spanberger, 46, is the second #CIA veteran in 2 years chosen to deliver the #Democratic Party’s formal response to Trump. Last year, it was Senator #ElissaSlotkin of #Michigan, a fellow #moderate who also first entered #Congress in 2018 & had also just won a statewide election. While #Slotkin warned last year that #Trump would increase the #CostOfLiving, Spanberger made a broader case that his admin was working against the #WellBeing of the American #people.
Spanberger’s speech — & the selection of her to deliver it — signaled how #Democratic leaders want the party to be viewed in Trump’s second term: sober & serious officials who understand voters’ economic plight.
A #moderate who is coming off a landslide election victory in #Virginia, #Spanberger gave a safe speech that struck the political notes #Democrats are aiming to press — that #Trump has hurt the economy & sowed #chaos with his policies.

oooh "ask for a review from the oversight board"
Yeah because #Facebook doesn't have the balls or the staff to actually #moderate it's content.
I've completed a complaint on this occasion, but going forwards I'm just not really checking there anymore.
Facebook is for the people so set in their ways they won't move on and Federate.

Right now influential people on the "far" end of the #Republican political coalition who praise #Hitler & the #Nazi Party. They get platformed on media outlets with significant reach, including #moderate Republican viewers. /2

For so many decades (my whole memory) #moderate #Democrats were told the "far" end of their political coalition was too dangerous because in it were "communists" & "socialists" on the order of Stalin & Mao.
Never any influential voices on "the left" said positive things about those evil asshats. /1

That’s @sanders.senate.gov ‘s line! Give him cred!!
