Titled “An Urgent Conversation with the American People,” the livestreamed discussion comes ahead of Congress’ return to session on Monday.

A statement released by both officials’ offices said in part, “Republican leaders have made clear their intention to use the coming weeks to advance a reckless budget scheme to President Trump’s desk that seeks to gut Medicaid, food assistance and basic needs programs that help people, all to give tax breaks to billionaires. Given what’s at stake, these could be some of the most consequential weeks for seniors, kids and families in generations.”

According to the statement, Rep. Jeffries and Sen. Booker plan to speak to shared American values and the nation’s religious and moral underpinnings, and how the budget bill opposes these beliefs. They also plan to affirm to Americans watching the livestream that their voices matter, especially in this moment in time.

    You said “leftists” (meaning me, derogatorily) strangely compare themselves to the Nazi party.

    I said nothing even remotely close to this. In fact- YOU brought up Nazis, not me. I was simply saying that “the left” in America- by definition are democrats and liberals, and I proved it.

    And:

    So get the fuck out with your red scare bullshit

    Really? Red scare bullshit? Dude, what’s with the persecution complex?? I haven’t said shit about you, and here you are playing victim- twice over, to some imaginary accusations I’ve made. Fo ahead and re-read through this discussion and point out to me exactly where I ever made an assumption of you- and while you’re at it- note how quick you are with the presumptive accusations. Or wait….

    was this not you?

    you and the Democrats aren’t even left

    Looks like a direct accusation to me! Weird how you’re the one protesting. It makes methinks something or another….

    Seriously though… maybe think about taking a step back and chilling out a bit.

    I haven’t once said a single thing about you personally. I don’t know you. And from this conversation alone, I honesty don’t care to.

    And whether or not it was or wasn’t whataboutism is entirely irrelevant to the point that the whole Nazi bit was a shit argument to begin with. So, how about you tell me what logical fallacy it was and then we can hang that sign on it instead?

    Would that make you feel better?

    Walk it off.
