What Swalwell said there is borderline slanderous, and very funny considering Zohran won a huge share of NYC Jews in the primary. It turns out that NYC Jews 1.) care about political phenomena beyond Israel, and 2.) have a diversity of views on Israel. Jews aren’t a monolith.
I don't understand how Swalwell came to this position. I've listened really close to Mamdani - I've NEVER heard him say anything that "I" would consider antisemitic. And last I checked a whole shitton of people I know are "anti-Zion". If anti-Zionism is antisemitic I bet a lot of us fall under it.,
You’re welcome, Pirate…the slander against Zohran is so frustrating. His views on Israel are basically the same those of as Brad Lander or Bernie, and yet ppl lie and smear the man out of cynicism and opportunism and cowardice (even Democratic leadership btw, who lend credence to the bs).
What happened to “vote blue no matter who”? What happened to human rights? What happened to pluralism and democracy and equal rights for all? Where is our humanity? Smh
I think I can sum that up in one word: GREED
As Gordon Gecko said “greed is good”…but I’d add that greed comes to bite ya in the ass, in karmic fashion. I think Schumer and Jeffries and the lot deserve pressure.
It’s one thing to support the Jewish ppl and denounce any and all antisemitism…it’s another thing to use antisemitism as a justification to suppress/deny the rights and humanity of others.
Zohran is an anti-Zionist, and while most American Jews are either committed Zionists or soft Zionists that doesn’t mean that Jews can’t be anti-Zionist and criticize the state of Israel (which Zohran has done). Swalwell has taken a lot of AIPAC money btw.

Jesus, DWS has gotten more from them than Rick Scott has. good god.
Yea it’s insane…look at Jeffries and Schumer 🙃
Tell me if I'm nuts, but I never liked Jeffries. I think Pelosi found someone she could manipulate, and also someone who it would seem that she could throw a bone to the strongest community of Dems, and "ordained" him. She did for HIM, what she accused Biden of doing to Harris!
You’re spot on…do you know why Jeffries is the presumptive leader of House Dems? Fundraising…he’s a good fundraiser
I doubt that is going to be true much longer, Stu. I think they're ALL in for a rude awakening.
This is another guy who deserves a primary, btw… youtu.be/q0Eeht171HQ?...
Oh yeah - I went off on this PoS yesterday. Fuck that guy
He’s a sociopath…Washington is full of them, but good grief
They are, Pirate…if we vote. It’s one thing for us to bitch and moan online, but we gotta do our part and vote/register others/call attention to corruption and special interests/fight for a better world.
When the women in this house go to vote - we never go alone. For years I've been volunteering to take people to polls who wouldn't be able to get there without cab fare. And until I die, it will stay that way
Also Pirate have you heard about Graham Platner? He’s running against Susan Collins in Maine and he’s an awesome candidate, spread his name far and wide. www.grahamforsenate.com
Amazing, thank you for your effort and advocacy. You’re doing your civic duty and then some…I’m a veteran and thank you.
Same with Schumer…problem isn’t they’re ineffective as legislators and lawmakers and defenders of American democracy
Thank you for this, Stu.
