02c U.S. Politics – Election

Shah ran for Congress in 2024, where he underperformed both Kamala Harris and Ruben Gallego, and now he’s decided that his best move is to run even farther to the left than he did two years ago. Shah himself admitted it back in May, saying, “I’m not hesitating one bit to use, you know, my platform to be able to prosecute as vigorously as I can sometimes with, you know, expletives and whatever it takes” because President Trump is “horrible.”

The NRCC’s ad highlights Shah’s extremism and the danger he poses to Arizona families.

    “Socialist Amish Shah,” the ad says. “He’s with AOC, Ilhan Omar … The Squad. Amish Shah would raise taxes by $4,000 per year on every family, and give sanctuary to criminal illegal aliens. Shah voted against border security funding, against police funding, and against requiring child sex offenders to register online. Shah even voted for early release for dangerous criminals. Socialist Amish Shah: too extreme, too dangerous for us.”

Shah has an uphill battle within his own party, as Democrat leadership grapples with what to do to address the insurgence of socialists. Will the Democrats back Shah financially? The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and its allies spent $4.5 million in an effort to defeat Shah, and Shah spent the primary night begging the DCCC for support, going so far as to joke that he hopes to get their endorsement over his Republican opponent, Jay Feely.

Releasing prisoners back onto the street does nothing to protect the public. This is why it is bizarre and evil, to say the very least, that the DSA continues to fight for the release of people who have been convicted of a crime.

According to NYC DSA Co-Chair Grace Mausser, the United States has far too many prisoners, especially compared to the rest of the world. She implies this somehow proves those people don’t deserve to be in prison, despite everyone being innocent until proven guilty. Rather than prove the current system is evil, and thus everyone should be exonerated of their crimes, she thinks throwing out random data points somehow makes her point, which is extremely lacking.

If the best argument you have is quoting Bernie Sanders, you have no point whatsoever. In fact, she has proven herself to be nothing more than a parrot for the far-left, while showing the world how naive she truly is.

Mausser believes we have an over-incarceration problem. She added that, “The radical thing is not the idea that we should decrease our incarcerated population.” The problem with that statement is that this is the most radical point in the history of opinions. Abolishing prisons, which is essentially what these people want, is solely intended to destroy and cause destruction. People like Mausser fool no one with their cherry-picking of random numbers, as if that somehow proves those people ought not to be in prison.
