If it were systematic, they'd be using chemical or biological agents. Weapons of war are a ridiculously inefficient and expensive method of "genocide".

No one forces Hamas to hide among and beneath civilians. They choose to. Israel has every right to get at the enemy that attacks their citizens. It's likely why they are invading and occupying Gaza City. By the way, if Israel's intent was genocide, it would simply eradicate Gaza City instead.

The same people that are targetting Jews everywhere for what Netanyahu may or may not be doing. They make FDR's 9066 pale in comparison.

Yep...no one in Democratic leadership was Uncommitted in 2024. This shit ain't their fault. And since Americans willfully gave all federal control to the GOP in 2024, it also ain't their problem.

Still waiting to hear why the first Republican to win the popular vote in 20 years - less than a year ago - should be fought against. They make it sound like Trump came into power via coup rather than via plebiscite. This is actually his *second* term. Americans willfully did this...twice 😗

He’s going to give Alabama more free shit because he wants to punish Colorado for not supporting his attempted power grab in 2020 more. The media won’t cover this because it would require remembering things that happened over a week ago. www.cpr.org/2023/03/24/p...

If Joe Biden had a now near constant hand bruise--likely from some sort of regular IV--gave the press a flimsy excuse of it being "aspirin therapy" and from "shaking too many hands," and regular tried to hide it with makeup, I'm not sure the news media would be covering anything else.

They're targeting all Jews everywhere. Even if Israel was literally exterminating human beings with Zyklon B and then reducing them to ashes I would never side with people targeting *every* Jew for that. www.jpost.com/diaspora/ant...

Uncommitted made 2024 a one issue election - Israel. If I also ignore everything but that one issue, MAGA is the best choice of all.

DSA will actually have to govern, and be held accountable and responsible for outcomes...and failures. NYC will be a very public laboratory. His base has the expectations and patience of Veruca Salt. Brandon Johnson's approval rating maybe in his future a year from now.

Socialism, antizionism, and isolationism are all disqualifying. DSA is all of those, and MAGA is none of them.

Why can't Jeffries - or anyone else -be Uncommitted to something? 😗
Jay Robertson (@ijeftomi.bsky.social) reply parent
We'll see what happens. I prefer MAGA over DSA if that's what the choices are reduced to. Unlike populists, I never not vote, nor do I waste my vote. I *will* vote for the lesser of two evils, and if primary voters make that MAGA, that's out of my hands.

I suspect that a Bernie or an AOC getting elected would, if anything, cause Congress to preemptively add further safeguards against unilateral presidential actions.

The fact that people like this continue digging their own grave actually amuses me. American deserve absolute rock bottom and they're going to make sure we get it. I don't *want* Democratic politicians to do anything about Trump domestically, and this 100% vinegar strategy only gives them cover 🤭

This constant firehose of anti-dem bullshit got us two terms of Trump, and a dismantling of constitutional protections that our grandchildren will be digging themselves out of.
Jay Robertson (@ijeftomi.bsky.social) reply parent
And yet he was the first Republican to win the popular vote in 20 years less than a year ago. And he did that *after* outright saying that his second term would literally be driven by vengeance and involve mass deportation.

FUCK! This is it! Isn’t it? Yes, of course there were the misogyny, the racism, and the ageism, but the cardinal sin of Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, AND Kamala Harris was not centering white voters and putting up with their disingenuous bullshit.

Trump’s whole send in the troops to cities with large numbers of Black people gambit is frustration that Black people to this point haven’t taken the bait and been all out in the streets so now he’s trying another provocation.

The Republicans never run against Democrats directly. They tie Democrats to the left and then run against the left, attacking the Democrat by association. Because unlike Democrat voters, Republican voters know that a vote AGAINST the Dems counts the same as a vote for the Republicans.
Jay Robertson (@ijeftomi.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes...Trump won less than a year ago...the first Republican to win the popular vote in 20 years. When should the party fight tooth and nail against what the people just chose to hand *all* power to?

If Velshi is saying Gaza protestors’ votes wouldn’t have made a difference, then I conclude that voters wanted this. So, why is this Dems’ fault? Where is the rightful blame for the media, who feigned outrage over milk/egg prices and lied about a Biden recession, when there wasn’t one? I see your 🐂💩

Good governance is a journalist's worst nightmare, because it's uneventful and boring, and is much less likely to generate exploitable headlines.

Bernie himself admitted some time ago that running as a Democrat would be hypocritical based on his own opinion and rhetoric about the party going back half a century. Why should the party back Bernie...ever?

When you see the wealthy Twitch streamer attacking the Democratic Party 24/7, remember: he's the nephew of the guy who took millions from Republican Buddy Roemer to create a Youtube channel he later used as a platform to found Justice Democrats, the group who vowed to overthrow the Democratic Party.

Moderates and centrists are simply people that embrace pluralism. They are the people most worthy of democracy because they are the people most appreciative of democracy. Populists are desperate to turn straight forward words like centrist and zionist into outrageous things.

As long as you share their sentiment, they don't care who you are. You can be a corporate billionaire or be pro-life as long as you support, say, M4A. But as usual, only *they* get to. Kamala Harris embracing Liz Cheney because both are pro-democracy was somehow outrageous 😗
