I fawn upon those who give me anything, and bark at those who give me nothing, and I set my teeth in rascals.

I don’t think you have brains to suggest that we should be paying fucking protection money to Israel like some sort of mob racket. Tell me if Israel has to pay for the Iron Dome themselves do they have more or less money left over to bomb other countries?
Actually by not supporting ending funding for the iron dome you’re on team fascist. Crazy how you just called every member of the squad thats not AOC a fascist. Its almost like you’re actively trying to divide the left because you don’t give a fuck about Palestine
I love how you have to discuss the situation in a disingenuous abstract “siding with a fascist” as opposed to directly stating what the situation is. The fact that you defend funding the iron dome after two years of genocide is insane. When you support funding the iron dome you’re siding with fasc
It divided “the left” because too many of you hardline democrats are comfortable with enabling a genocide if it makes conditions at home slightly less scary
Bots take every position include anti-left democrat positions like yours. If you’re gonna see bots behind every opinion you don’t agree with, get off the fucking internet
You sound both completely uninformed and largely confused. Let see if I can explain even the most basic of concepts to you. “The left” is made up of people. Different people have different opinions and do different things. People can criticize and still be resisting power simultaneously
We literally are saying it out loud though. How about instead of deflecting you tell me what you think increased protests against primarily republicans is likely to accomplish?
Would you support using your twx dollars to pay for anti-aircraft weapons to Nazi Germany? Anti-drone weapons to present day Russia? Anti-missile platforms to Iran? Should we provide anti-aircraft platforms to ISIS? They all have/had civilians living under their “protection” as well.
Why do you think republicans would listen to leftists? We aren’t their prospective voting base. Do you just want to see leftists get brutalized by the police and military on television or something?
What would be the point of talking to or about people who call up libtards or commie scum or whatever their pejorative of the week is? Do you need constant reminding republicans are terrible? Do you think they’ll suddenly start listening to us instead of starting the second era of McCarthyism?
Did you win Mamdani’s primary?
I read both her posts on instagram and bluesky where she reaffirms her support for the iron dome, which she previously received criticism for. I also saw her try to misconstrue the situation as though we aren’t specifically upset at continued support for funding the iron dome.
No I’m trying to talk some left into this crowd
I wish i was a bot, then I wouldn’t feel the visceral frustrations of communing with my fellow unwashed masses
Oh not to mention came to the internet multiple times to spread misinformation about the controversy
So she compromises her principles for optics and then slandets both her criticizing supporters and her colleagues who voted for the bill?
Why did the rest of the squad vote for it Ms/Mr “thinks i’m a bot or a troll?
I hope you have a family that loves you. They can support you through the delusions you’re experiencing
Lmao little baby can’t handle people having different opinions than him. Has to pretend they’re fake.
If it was nothing why didn’t she just vote in favor of it like the rest of the squad?
Blue maga behavior
Old man, a troll is not someone you disagree with. Don’t use vocabulary you don’t understand
I’m not seeing you pick any battles I’m seeing you tell everyone else not to pick any battles because “muh trump is bad” or whatever
Old man you should stay off the internet if you think everyone else on it is fake
Funny because I had this opinion before the DSA opinion piece. Maybe if you spent more time thinking for yourself you’d understand other people do it sometimes too
So would you have supported the US financing anti aircraft guns for Nazi Germany? Should we provide anti-drone countermeasures to Russia? If your concern is simply “less civilians dying” why are you only hyper focused on providing protection to israel? Shouldn’t the Palestinians get an iron dome?
Who said Gaza supercedes every issue? Honestly you fucking blue maga babies are just crying because someone was mean to your mommy. Politicians can and should be routinely criticized
You should get your mental health checked out for paranoid delusions. I’m a white boy from NJ living in California who doesn’t use bluesky that much. Keep your conspiracy theories to yourself
The worst part about normal people learning about troll farms is that main character syndrome tells you everyone who disagrees with you must be a troll
Super crazy your generation completely fucked the country and our political apparatus and you’re over here trying to argue that clearly you know whats best. Why hasn’t your generation accomplished any significant left wing economic work? Why did you let the unions get destroyed?
Why would i retweet anything? I choose my own words for myself
Yeah because social media is dumb and I barely use bluesky. Who the fuck are you the post police?
Why are we expected to fund the defense of a foreign country? Do you not understand that by giving Israel $500 million of our money for “defense” they can then spend $500 million of their own money on “offense”?
This is stating that she chose not to vote for the amendment because it left the rest of the bill untouched. But she was going to vote against the bill anyway and it still passed. Why not support an amendment that would reduce funding to Israel within the bill anyway? There are bo logical answers.
Do you form all your political opinions by assuming other people are bots and supporting whatever the opposite of what they say is? Why is it so hard to believe the left is upset at the continued support for giving funding to Israel?
What time in your mom’s basement do you become capable of intellectually defending your support for funding the Iron Done while Israel engages in genocide and other crimes against humanity?
No the amendment is “literally” about iron dome funding. Everything else you said is irrelevant and a clear attempt to detract from the topic of funding israel
This is a non-sequitur and unrelated to the matter at hand
Who sided with anyone? Are you saying supporting a resolution is “siding with” whoever proposed the resolution? You’re either a non-serious person or a moron. You’re choice
Horseshoe theory is largely discredited by actual political scientists and only exists as some sort of “both sides” gotcha on the internet
…allows Israel to continue to commit crimes against humanity, which is the angle JC is getting at
I think you’re losing the plot friend. The right wants Israel defunded because they are anti-Semitic. The left wants Israel defunded because they use the funds to commit crimes against humanity. The Iron Dome is “defensive” in the sense that it protects Israel from incoming attacks, but it also…
So you’re literally being tricked into supporting fascist Israel because republicans are also fascists lol
It should be very easy to understand how paying for Israel’s military defense means they are enabled to spend more of their own money on offensive measures
Blue maga are so weird. Misgendering people as an insult doesn’t make you a trans ally. There’s nothing of substance to say to you. You refuse to listen to logic, substituting instead your strong hatred of the current fascist regime and your love establishment politicians promising to save you
Man dumbass
Would you argue the US should fund Russian anti-aircraft systems as well?
Yes that is our funding for the iron dome. We pay for it so they can put more money into offensive weapons. The protection this system gives them allows them to commit crimes against humanity against a multitude of their neighbors and be protected from all retaliation or repercussions.
Just internet buzzword soup from you but i’m the plant lmao okay
No its because you accused me of being a plant you fucking bozo
The fact that encountering any ideas further left than the mainstream democratic position prompts you to accuse others of being fake people tells me you don’t associate with leftists in real life
“Everyone who disagrees with me is a paid shill, bot, or works in a foreign or cia propaganda farm” Why are you on the internet talking to strangers if you think anyone who disagrees with you is fake?
It is her vote on the iron done funding amendment to the bill, not on the bill itself, that is being criticized
You are responsible for informing yourself on the issue you purportedly care about.
The online left is a weird way to say you don’t have any progressive friends irl
She did do a bait and switch switch. This bill posted here is different than the one she posted on instagram. Getting defensive without the facts is a bad look.
So you can’t actually identify anything wrong with the amendment you’re just sure it myst be something? Riiiight…
Not even the original mystery dungeon series at that, the Pokemon spinoff lol
Wow you’ve totally convinced me you’re not a fucking idiot who’s too proud to admit when they’ve learned something
So if the audience supports slavery you support slavery?
You are continuing to demonstrate you don’t understand political alignment. Its not based on what people around you think the center is
Its really not unless you’re blinded by nationalism. Most people understand other countries exist and America is not a majority of the world’s population
“No true liberals” argument eh? Maybe the political and economic origins of liberalism make you uncomfortable, but that doesn’t mean you can summarily dismiss it. Neoliberalism has taken both parties
These people have been taught to not critically think
Imagine constantly making excuses for the politically unaware
Except you don’t because you think political alignment is some kind of regional description
Center right* both times
All of these policies you’re mentioning are normal centrist or center left policies from a global perspective. In Europe, democrats would be a center or a center right party. You are feeling incredulous because the political landscape in the US is such that anything left of facism is labeled leftist
Unsuccessfully i might add
Sir my father is no longer in school or working and now gets his news from church and Telegram. I am busy trying to keep him from falling for currency scams
A lot of crunchy alt-med folk went Trump during covid. Populists movements are complex. It is tough to know whether rfk is a grifter or a true believer. The recent reports of his zyn and fast food indicate the former, but i wouldn’t accuse true believers of alt-med to be consistent or logical
I’m sure there’s an argument to be made between competent science professionals and competent legal professionals running the department as both are intrinsically tied to the position, but competency does not appear to be a factor here
Listen I’m not trying to be mean, but a lot of Republicans just actually believe some crazy shit. I have an environmental engineer father who’s terrified of pfas but doesn’t care about oil spills or think climate change is man made. The crunchy people went trump during covid
Truly a complex emotion i experienced when learning this. If he was put in charge of the EPA instead of healthcare I might’ve been on board with it lol
So you’re saying Hillary didn’t commit any real crimes and going after her would just be political persecution? You need to stop using the term Banana Republic. A Banana Republic is something the US establishes in a foreign country
Trump promised to throw hillary in jail what do you mean “it would look like political retribution”? He promised political retribution
Moot* So if you go after Hillary while she’s in power or running its political and there’s no point in enforcing the law otherwise?
Why can’t republicans uphold the laws that they claim exist then?
You’re the one having trouble following the conversation. Hillary hasn’t run in over 8 years, why aren’t republicans still trying to charge her for her crimes? If it looks bad why did the FBI make an announcement about the Clinton email probe just days before the election?
So you are saying there is no specific reason for you to be mad at the democrats, because everyone behaves this way, but also that you’re mad at the democrats because they’re worse than republicans?
Yet republicans entirely unable to charge her with anything to this day
I know you have no hope of realizing this, but your brain is 90% propaganda. Like do you know how many hours Hillary sat for Benghazi hearings? Are republicans so stupid or inept they just couldn’t actually prove she did anything? I can tell for certain you don’t understand socialism or communism
And then went right back to republicans because “eh who cares”?
Do you just flip political parties based on which one makes you more upset more recently?
Clinton literally got impeached for a blow job. Bush lied about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction and faced no consequences. Your acknowledgment of “both sides do these things” rings so incredibly hollow to people actually paying attention. Trump has been s criminal his whole life dude
He was violating every established precedent for a president. He profited off his personal companies. His family was taking bribes from foreign countries. He was caught illegally storing state secrets in his private residence. Instance it was all “politically motivated” is divorced from reality
The fact that you can look at a career criminal like Donald Trump and pretend he’s completely innocent and couldn’t have done anything wrong tells me you are not a serious person and did not know anything about Trump before his presidency other than “funny tv man”.
Please stop making me repeat myself. THE FIRST AMENDMENT DOES NOT APPLY TO PRIVATE COMPANIES. IT IS ONLY PROTECTION AGAINST GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP. The idea of having social media company with “free speech” would mean that the company would have to be owned by the government.
If I’m a man or company with the money of Mark Zuckerberg and Meta? Send the complaints to my lawyers
The government was not behind the censorship. The government is afraid of Meta’s legal team. Meta threatens to sue over this issue, the feds drop it like its hot. If you really want to talk censorship, lets talk McCarthyism
Did Meta say “no we won’t do this” and then the government fined them and imprisoned them? Or did the government say “could you do this for us” and meta said “sure no problem”? I’ll give you a hint. Corporations don’t give a single fuck about you or your “rights” unless a court order forces them to
I’m arguing that when Mark Zuckerberg says “I regret doing what the government asked me” he actually means “i regret that conservatives have found out I was doing this and I would still like the money they make me by using facebook”
Calling social media companies “public forums” doesn’t make it true. They are private companies. They can update terms of service to prevent you from doing anything they want on their platform. Because it is their platform. Ironically you are asking for socialist media, owned by the people.
Now you’re literally just making shit up about me to get mad. The internet is not real life. Zuckerberg is not the government.
I don’t understand how conservative brains work. Why do you assume all news articles are lies until they are sharing news you agree with? Like do you really think Zuck cares about conservatives at all? Or do you think Zuck likes the money conservatives make for his platform?
Most people coming to the border are following the process to legally claim asylum. Do you know why the US won’t declare the cartels terrorist organizations? Because if we did, the people in Northern Mexico would immediately gain a rock solid legal case for applying for asylum in the US.
No you won’t, because FREE SPEECH is about THE GOVERNMENT not being able to censor PRIVATE CITIZENS. Free speech is NOT about PRIVATE CORPORATIONS enforcing TERMS OF SERVICE on their free message boards. The only actual speech censorship we have is about not threatening to kill the president
The problem is conservatives act like no other rights matter as long as you own a gun and can post slurs on facebook. The corporations can sue the government if they feel violated. If the private company chooses to abide by the rules set for their users that is not infringing on speech.
Mexico has announced they will enact their own tariffs if Trump’s go through. Texas gets like 30% of their GDP from trade with Mexico. apnews.com/article/mexi... Mexico has also ALREADY BEEN WORKING WITH THE US TO REDUCE BORDER ENCOUNTERS newrepublic.com/article/1888...
Yes its illegal. But they don’t get a visa, wait until it expires, and then try to cross the border from US into Mexico. They get a visa, fly into an airport on a plane, and then simply don’t leave. That is the process for most undocumented immigrants currently living in the US. How wall stop plane?
