Incredible! Not even 24 hours later! His cognitive dissonance is actually amazing.
This is crazy racist, what is wrong with you
I’m just confused. He won his primary, right? So why does he need to win you over? Do other candidates have to grovel to their own party after securing the nomination? No, it’s supposed to be the other way around.
You get on fucking board and you support the candidate in your party that the people voted for.
It's wild how quickly they forgot "vote blue no matter who" once there was an actual progressive candidate, not to mention a Muslim.
When "vote blue no matter who" conflicts with "if it's brown, flush it down", the second one wins.
Vote blue is alright when the candidate is white, but we'll let brown skin slide if she supports genocide
We call it the "genoslide". Entire ethnicities and cultures can take one for the team, right?
But y’all never did that. 🤷♂️
Yeah but I did. Something tells me you did not.
Yeah idk what that dude’s comment was supposed to accomplish but good job whatabouting I guess? Every single progressive that voted for Hillary in the 2016 general can tell you this. I was a Warren Dem that spent all summer knocking doors for Hillary. I lean far closer to Bernie. Still knocked.
liberals love to yell about the leftist boogyman instead of focusing on actual problems
Turns out they weren’t yelling but summoning. They had time. They squandered it. And now I’m here to throw as much money and time as I can to get the most socialist-ass leftist motherfuckers I can find. Never would’ve joined the DSA if the Dems had adequately represented us.
yep, a lot of us held our nose and voted blue no matter who, only to get yelled at by liberals like we stayed home, time for the centrists swallow their own medicine
And leftist cunts only have smoke for Democrats and NEVER for MAGA/the GOP. 🤷♂️
Bullshit. Leftists were calling attention to Trump's fascism since before he got elected the first time and were told to "stop over reacting".
This sounds realistic
yes because we have all been donating to the GOP and protesting against the dems......🧠💀 libs thing critiquing dems is worse than bombing kids
He’s not inspiring. He has an annoying laugh. He likes hot sauce and Pokémon.
Lmfao can you name me an inspiring mayor of NYC from the last 30 years? Go ahead. Name me one that you can say was some inspirational role model that you look up to today. Go ahead.
In fact, I can probably count how many elections Democrats blew up simply because they just weren’t “inspired.” Gtfo
He did a campaign event once with someone I didn’t like. He didn’t mention trans people enough. He had other jobs before the one he’s currently trying to win.
And they wonder why GOP keeps winning - they get in fucking line. Also you know he'll be begging for x,y, and z if Zohran wins the election and pretend like he never went against him.
Read the DSA Socialist platform. It’s fringe and not friendly to Jewish people. Many DSA Socialists suppressed the vote for Kamala
because he's Daniel Sachs Goldman (literally his name, related to both sides). he earned the right to decide who gets to be mayor by being born
Winning a closed Dem primary, doesn’t guarantee a win in the general, especially when more people overall voted against you. So yes, you would need to address the concerns of the people who didn’t support you in the primary but could support you in the general. Pretty simple.
You are such a disappointment
What happened to party unity? Are we doing purity tests now?
You need to figure out how to be better at this. You are on the wrong side with this. Stop buying the “antisemitism” smearing of this man. I am a Jew, with the last name RABIN. I can see through this right wing garbage, why can’t you. Nadler gets it, be like him Don’t be a Gillibrand.
He’s not buying the smear, he’s selling it
That time would be better served pursuing the schmear (bagels too).
Thank you!
we all think you suck
Who’s doing the antisemitism sir?
Your bigotry is transparent to anyone who doesn’t share it.
Its pretty fucking racist to assume a Muslim man is an anti-semite. Mamdani is really exposing how racist elected Democrats are.
Yep. A Muslim who managed the campaign of a Jewish candidate and who basically rank on a ticket with the city's highest ranking Jewish official. Still smeared as a bigot.
As soon as you speak out against Israeli war crimes, and settler terrorism.
Who did you think would read and be inspired by this statement?
No one.
Cuomo supporters.
Netanyahu.
I do not believe you are afraid to be in NYC.
This is Islamophobic and racist, but I'm pretty sure that's intentional and you don't care what this Jew from Chicago thinks. So I'm just adding to the well -deserved ratio.
Thanks for taking a terrible time in our lives and doing your part to make it worse.
The ratio is amazing
Daniel, can you address the rampant Islamophobia in NYC and can you tell us how you're combating it?
Just endorse him bro
This is a disappointing statement from you. Would you tell a Jewish candidate that he must reject anti-Muslim hate?
He has promised to protect the Jewish population of New York. If you mean he has to silence critics of Israel's continued attempts at genocide and conquest, well that lost us our democracy in November, didn't it
I'm deleting my other comment simply because I feel I jumped the gun on this, but I stand behind my first comment. If you mean he needs to condem antisemitism, I agree. Luckily, he has, on national television.
He's already condemned what you wanted to condemn and promised what you want him to promise. Maybe now you should address those among your constituents who have weaponized "feeling unsafe," and also talk about the scourge of Islamophobia in this city.
Meanwhile when it comes to Trump, Dan Goldman is aligned and eager to work together on the issue of antisemitism 🤔 And three weeks later ICE rounded up Mahmoud Kahlil…
Unfollowed you.
"Feeling unsafe" is exactly how transphobic cis women attack trans women. It's also how white women attack Black men. The bad-faith concept has a long-ass history of weaponization against the more-marginalized.
What’s more, Goldman *knows* the condemnation and promise have already occurred, so fair question: why is he pretending they haven’t?
This is a question I'd want to hear a reporter shout at him while he smirks and walks silently down a hallway toward an elevator.
To be fair, “state you important-to-voters position over and over and over and over and over and over” so THAT is what randos hear is important to do
If opposition continues with bullshit dear motoring constantly, continually preaching the above sentiments counters bullshit and becomes the candidates message l
You reiterate what’s already been said by Mamdani and what you agree upon. You don’t pretend you were the first person to tell him that New York Jews may feel unsafe or that he needs to condemn antisemitism.
Because he's part of the Establishment that wants mamdani to fail so they can go back to the Good Ole Boy club that does what rich people want.
Is Goldman planning to enter the race?
Oh so a racist screed?
grow up fuckhead
Counterpoint, I'm not super concerned with the feelings of the genocide cacus just now.
Dan, you sowing division where Mamdani very clearly is not, is what makes makes New Yorkers feel unsafe. Your statement displays more Islamophobia than Mamdani displays antisemitism. Stop it.
Please … 🙄
Why do your comms always have that stiff passionless lawyer vibe?
You’ve taken nearly $200,000 from AIPAC.
You clearly weren't paying attention to his campaign or learn about his stances. He made ALL of that clear. Know what else is clear? Your need to play the ropes so that which ever way it goes, you can say, "See? I was right". Speaking for America - let me say - WE ARE DONE WITH YOUR BRAND OF SHIT.
So endorse him
Turns out you can be Jewish and not hate Muslims and vice versa. This election proved that. Get on the right side of history.
He got more votes in a primary than you have in a general election. Cut this racist fear monger shit out.
Jew who feels perfectly safe in New York here: Fuck you.
Same.
Seconded. Hell, my neighborhood has a big Muslim population. There are even *gasp* Palestinians. And I feel safe here.
strongly agree with everything Jason says here. especially that last point. New York is one of my favorite cities on earth. as a Jew, I will feel much safer there once Mamdani is in charge, and knowing how many good people there voted for him.
Who actually feels unsafe in the city? Who is actually a threat to us? This is absolute clown shit. As a human being, a New Yorker, and a Sephardic Jew, I am disgusted. Shame on you and anyone else who even remotely entertains this knee jerk fear of our Muslim neighbors. They're our family.
His rhetoric becomes very clear when you look at his donors. It's just more AIPAC smearing.
I see that and see Private Equity…
Sigh. I thought @danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co was better than this. #FollowTheMoney
Isn’t he a billionaire? Why doesn’t he fund his own damn campaigns? We need a new party
That may be true for some but when you experience a community of 200,000 + that is entirely Muslim, shopping only Islamic owned stores wearing full cover burkas, hijabs, and traditional robe. Speaking only Arabic. Then you get the absurdity. Why leave the ME and not assimilate? Just weird to me.
🤡 🚮
Another statement from a Democrat that achieves fuck all.
Wtf Literally every interview or debate some form of “you’re Muslim, so do extra pinky promise that you don’t hate Jews?” has been asked and answered. Apparently @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social wasn’t the only Democrat hiding under a rock during the entire campaign.
Wish every Jewish politician was asked the same thing regarding Muslims and then maybe how idiotic this is would be exposed.
NOPE
Endorse your party’s nominee, Dan. This is flatly disrespecting your constituents.
Dan needs a primary
You’re a racist
I swear to god you people are out of your fucking minds having a default of "We're scared of a Muslim" approach to the primary's victor.
Loser Zionist demands what Winning New Yorker must do. Did I get that right?
What is this bs? If you don’t want to fight the actual enemy please do us a favor and make way for someone with a conscience and some balls.
Democrats…
racist
So, are you going to vote for the hopelessly corrupt current mayor, the sex pest, or the cosplaying guy with the red beret, but not the Democrat who overwhelmingly won your district?
I'm not seeing YOUR statement of commitment to shut down the rampant islamophobia surrounding Mr. Mamdani. Did I somehow miss it?
Bluntly, it sounds like some Jewish New Yorkers 'feel unsafe' because they are Islamophobic.
Endorse him, resign or switch parties.
It's vote blue no matter who until it's someone who represents the will of the people, then it's all hands on deck to crush the upstart. Fuck you. Free Palestine.
lmao
Fuckin Islamophobic liberal shits
Coooooooorny
Haha. Well, THIS little post was certainly well received here, Danno!
You fucking dweeb.
This is racist! Just because you are antisemitically attached to a genocidal apartheid state doesn’t mean all of your Jewish constituents are. He won your district you goon!
Get primaried you quisling fuck.
No amount of money will save your seat, and you should start looking hard at the people around you for putting you in position to get primaried out of public life. You deserve nothing, and will receive less.
You should apologize for this clown shit.
What the fuck is wrong with you Daniel? You’re an absolute racist coward.
I have been a democrat all my life who has voted in probably 95% of elections since I was old enough to vote, which would cover 51 years, to include midterms. I am done with this party. From what I can see, Mamdani has more integrity than the rest of you.
fart
Trap it under the blanket
I don’t know about this one Dan
Coward.
You're a scumbag bigot and we won't forget.
You are an islamaphobe. Do better.
Maybe trust @bradlander.bsky.social ’s judgement?
This is bullshit. Israel/Gaza should not be determining who is the mayor of New York City. Sorry, your spiritual homeland id ran by an utterly corrupt, genocidal fascist, but that really shouldn't be the primary concern here.
I think the people of New York will determine who is their next mayor.
So, you’re OK with the quasi-racist smearing by a member of his own party then?
Please go away and enjoy your money. Thanks, NYC.
Are you taking the bait here or proffering it, Representative Goldman?
he has literally already done that so many times
what year do you think it is?
Jewish New Yorkers feel unsafe in New York? Speak for yourself.
you must FALL IN LINE
And here’s a better story. Well not better, but a story with me in it.
As your constituent, I’m incredibly disappointed by your failure to endorse Mamdani as your party’s nominee. And your failure to address, let alone condemn, the Islamophobic attacks on Mamdani from the GOP and the right. You’re failing to meet the moment, we need much better leadership than this.
Judging by this statement I can only assume you are fine with Sliwa as mayor
How did you expect this to go over?
hi daniel, have you asked your colleague kirsten gillibrand to formally retract her racist allegations and endorse your party's nominee for mayor?
And no photo with Mamdani. Very pathetic Mr. Goldman.
why do you think he wont condemn that shit? he already has. Terrible post bro.
Learn how to use the alt text feature for gods sake. It’s been 26 years
Saying "he must condemn anti-Jewish hate" implies that he hasn't 'been doing that.. Which is a LIE (and I think you know that). Please consider being honest congressman. People as stupid and easily manipulatable as you might think.
You explained it to him? Buddy, he has been saying that throughout the entire campaign! 😂 He doesn't need a lecture. You are just trying to insinuate that he is antisemitic and whatnot, totally disingenuous attacks based solely on innuendo and not on substance.
I hope Brad Lander primaries you
He has done all of this & like repeatedly? Literally many many times.
*some* Jewish New Yorkers feel unsafe. Stop behaving as though there is only one valid Jewish opinion.
Hey Dan, what are you going to do to combat the rampant Islamophobia and how to make Muslim New Yorkers feel safe? This statement is shit, Dan.
Will you condemn anti Muslim hatred directed toward Mamdani?
Sellout. Coward. Racist. Sycophant. Power hungry liar. You are an embarrassment to Jews everywhere. Resign and save face you horrid fear-mongering joke of a politician.
Nepobaby who bought his way into office says what?
Watching this from afar, both religiously and geographically. But it sure saps my energy to see it. Come on folks ... go ahead and squabble -- but let's get it together, OK? Align on goals, and energize towards that. There's an opportunity.
The irony of you just being a flat out Islamophobe
Daniel, I’m glad you had a sit down. Based on a nonprofessional perspective. Assemblyman Mamdani is the likely candidate for Mayor, because he encompasses all that is leadership. Perhaps addressing the dysfunctional ex guv who is butt hurt and planning to undermine a party choice, speak to it NOW
Such a lame statement. Instead if being excited about a Dem lighting up a fire under our own asses, just islamophobic drivel.
You clearly don't understand how utterly pathetic and petty this statement makes you look.
I remember your statement on Gaza on Chris Hayes's show, when you stamped your feet and whined to keep from addressing the point that an invasion would mostly kill Palestinians who had nothing to do with Hamas. You can feel free to eat shit.
yeah i don’t know if it’s a good look to hold one brown muslim accountable for every random online comment and protesters, when lots of jewish new yorkers don’t feel the way you say. you’re pushing far right propaganda that his simple presence is a danger & that islamophobic rhetoric has validity
These twisting of words by the white supremacist antisemitic creeps should go to jail.
Oh fuck off AIPAC stooge.
Nepo Baby says what?
This statement is simply disingenuous- knowing that Mamdani has an excellent relationship with Brad Lander and has been fully aware and engaged with Jewish communities and concerns, you issue a statement that claims to have enlightened Mamdani to Jewish concerns. This is more a comment on you.
Read the DSA Socialist platform, and tell us they’re welcoming to Jewish people
Clearly you haven’t read the international committee policy document of the DSA. It’s not anti-Israel as a sovereign state. It is anti-genocide and supports a Palestinian state- no doubt you’d agree with that if you also believe in a Jewish state. But can you point to where Mamdani is antisemitic?
His supporters are obsessed with AIPAC and attacking anyone taking donations. DSA censured AOC for just saying anti-Semitism does exist. Of course Jewish voters are concerned
Your comments are unfounded. Lander has completely refuted this assertion. Also have a look at the voter spread in the different zones of NY. Coumo only won the orthodox Jewish vote - he didn’t win the non-orthodox vote. So let’s not claim “ Jewish voters are concerned “ as some global view.
This was early polling data, across the whole field Zohran was the top pick of 1 out of 5 Jewish New Yorkers. He was slightly more popular than Lander who hadn’t even cross endorsed him at this point.
Aipac =/= Jews. It's a lobbying group that serves the interests of a far right wing foreign government, contrary to the interests of the US. DSA never censured AOC for saying antisemitism exists. It criticized her for conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism, as you're doing here.
Correct. AIPAC funds both sides as it’s largely not interested in domestic policy - it’s purely there to get Trump to support Netanyahu.
Eat shit Zionist goon
Please stop conflating speaking out against Zionist colonialism/apartheid/genocide with being anti-Jewish. Same with advocating for a two-state Palestine solution as not anti-Jew.
Do any of your other constituents feel unsafe? Muslims? Latinos? Immigrants? Foreign students?
Jewish New Yorkers are no different than Muslim New Yorkers. Everyone needs to feel safe. Assuming, because he is Muslim he might be antisemitic is bullshit.
Cool letter, you dumb fucking racist
You bring up islamophobia too?
This is why our party is doomed. Once we stood together. There's no nice way to say this, Congressman. You're a racist and a traitor to your country. Of course we can't beat MAGA with the whole establishment ready to fuck everyone rather than lose campaign contributions supporting the left.
Do you condemn the libelous claims of antisemitism towards Zohran? Will you apologize for the ongoing genocide in Gaza?
Dude- really?
mealy mouthed bullshit, Daniel
Lander should primary you into oblivion you bigoted hack
I respected you quite a bit more before this misguided nonsense.
JFC man do better. This is embarrassing.
just lift him up you fucking dipshit, stop being so condescending
Many Muslim New Yorkers feel unsafe and I'd like to see you address that by taking your Islamophobic concern-trolling bullshit and blowing it out your ass.
Got links for this fantastic labelers?
And that doesn't even show when you're an heir to Levi's! "Levi Strauss heir Dan Goldman estimated personal net worth is up to $253 million, making him one of the wealthiest members of Congress." stanforddaily.com/2023/01/19/l... Meritocracy definitely why he was admitted and has succeeded so far!
Another Levi's heir (with no experience!) just became a big city mayor! Lurie wants more police funding despite SFPD data: massive increase in funding, massive decline in police work! While attacking who they "protect and serve" with racist and homophobic slurs www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...
What labeler is this please?
Seconding this, I would like to use this labeler
Here you go.
I've seen two clips of Mamdani speaking and heard him "condemn anti-Jewish hate and calls for violence" twice. The idea that this is something he "needs" to do as opposed to "has done and is doing" is laughable and quite racist.
AIPAC gets what AIPAC wants.
(I mean, Dan Goldman did put his own Levi's money into his first campaign and won at $300 a vit, but you can only expect the average scion to do that once.)
What is Levi's money?
He's an heir to the Levi Strauss & Co., fortune.
Well fuck me, I did not know that.
Isn't it great to be an older woman? You can just swear like a truck driver and just, well, fuck 'em.
Although in all honesty, I swore like a truck driver in my twenties as well. I just choose my venues.
Haha, I knew you were going to say that! Me too! 👍
It came up when he ran against Mondaire Jones three years ago, but I haven't seen any mention of it in the press since he won the seat.
No more milllionaires or billionaires. Done with that.
As in, the jeans. Dan is an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, net wealth estimated at $253M. stanforddaily.com/2023/01/19/l...
How the fuck did I not know this 🤯
Sorry to be the one.
The man is literally in the pocket of Big Jeans
Gold 😂 Well played snappy
So -that's- what the little pocket is for!
🤣🤣🤣
Got it.
As someone who just moved out of San Francisco, crazy to find out there's another Levi-heir politician named Dan.
levi's jeans 🤝 levi's genes
🤣
🎯
Yesssssssssss
That’s racist to assume people are criticizing Mandami’s antisemitism as coming from Islam as opposed to progressive left
Stop buying into this anti-Muslim bigotry. Zohran doesn't need your concern trolling. He has been perfectly clear to anyone capable of listening that he is supportive of Jews.
Maybe send a letter to thug Netanyahu who are murdering innocent children and women in GAZA! We know you’re a Zionist so you won’t.
He's made that clear. Why are you pretending he hasn't?
Yeah pretty telling that he tells us what he said to Mamdani, but bit what Mamdani said in response. Just utterly dishonest.
Oops, *not what Mamdani said in response
You are a fucking joke.
New Yorkers heard him say he's going to be the mayor for all of us, including our Jewish neighbors. that's why he won. if you have comprehension issues, that's on you buddy.
AIPAC 🤡
Just a reminder that disagreeing with Netanyahu is NOT antisemitism. My guess is that most Jewish people in NYC understand this. We see you and we see your AIPAC/billionaire funding. We also see your racism.
Tentatively it looks like we went for Mamdani overall so: yes.
This is the take, right here.
Good god, no wonder you democrats are such losers. Race and religious bigotry have no place in the party, and I mean you.
Jewish people voted for Zohran you absolute dummy.
Damn. I used to be a fan now I don’t know what you are.
Gross. It’s so clear Rump himself is an antisemite
We always knew what he is: a craven, self-serving SALT zionist.
He already has condemned violence and hate speech. What more do you want? Do you ask the same of every Christian politician after domestic terror attacks by Christians?
I feel as a HUMAN you should just be quiet and support the candidate who wants to uplift all, including Jews and Muslims.
This is dumb. You are presuming him to be guilty of behavior and attitudes there is no evidence that he has. In fact, all evidence points to him not supporting antisemitism or bigotry. Meanwhile, Queens native, Donald J Trump has committed acts of bigotry and made biogotted statements.
As a non-Jew and non-Muslin, it sure seems like there is simply no amount of times a Muslim can condemn antisemitism that you would find acceptable. How about y'all, idk, deal with the ADL doing literal terrorism against anti-zionist Jewish protestors? You know, something worthwhile.
Right? The ADL has become an absolute joke under Jonathan Greenblatt lol
jfc dude, sign me up to vote for whoever challenges your sorry ass
As people on Tiktok like to say, SYBAU. (shut your bitch ass up). I’m on Mamdani’s side, and I will break my no more donations vow to fund whoever primaries you.
Primary this bitch
What are you doing to ensure Muslims feel safe in NYC?
“Mamdani has condemned antisemitism many times. But I’m racist and afraid of brown people, and will therefor act like he’s promoting hate like the piece of shit I am”. Fixed it for you!
Your benefactors AIPAC and the criminal cabal leading Israel are the ones making the entire world less safe for us Jews. Endorse your fellow Democrat, he was overwhelmingly & democratically chosen by the voters.
I would invite you to shove a cactus up your ass and twist it, you Islamophobic piece of shit.
Eat shit and fall into the ocean, you bigoted piece of shit
you are so fucking racist
incredibly disrespectful. shame on you
Why does a Muslim being the candidate automatically make Jewish New Yorkers unsafe? That’s a disgusting statement.
I think it's really weird that you're implying Jewish New Yorkers won't feel safe with a Muslim mayor. The actual evidence of Mamdani's win would show that actual Jewish New Yorkers are way less prejudiced than you would want them to be.
We can't overstate how the only thing that mattered in "hillary's email" was proof that the DNC rigged the primary. They cannot fathom or tolerate anyone but the chosen candidate running. They do not want, under any circumstances, voters deciding a primary.
There was no proof that the DNC rigged the primary for Clinton, because it didn't happen. The "proof" was a document that "omitted plans to support Sanders if he won" but the last edited date was the date that he announced his candidacy. You were had by Russia.
Invoking Russia was the cherry on top of this perfect lib skeet.
I've had libs tell me "leftist cost us the Bush gore election." As if thr results of the election were in any way legitimate. I also love the insistence that pure and good Republicans wouldn't cheat and democrats always run perfect campaigns. The only explanation is Russia.
every opinion critical of the DNC is russia I know. I read so on 4chan.ru or whatever.
No, there are plenty of things to complain about regarding the DNC. I complain about them and I'm not Russian. The charge that the DNC sabotaged Sanders is based on documents that were hacked by Russia and released by a known Russian agent, who omitted any documents that didn't fit that narrative.
But it's much easier to simply dismiss those facts and argue against a straw man, so that's what you did.
Jesus Christ shut the fuck up about Russia. Look at what we did to Iraq, a million dead, a government completely destroyed, a region in perpetual chaos but nooooo Russia ran too many pro trump campaign and my stupid baby brain just can't decide which person to vote for. FUCK OFF.
No, brain case, Russia is who hacked the DNC. Russia is who released the DNC documents, omitting documents that didn't fit their narrative. You are the one who brought up the false charges that literally came from Russia, as fact. So no, I'm not going to shut up about the facts.
Jesus FUCK i wish I could strap you to a chair and dose you with sodium pentethol to see what you ACTUALLY think. I swear the Russia gate shit only seems to work on people who don't know they're rubes like you.
The USA has the most well-founded military on fucking planet earth, an oppressive, fully penetrated security and carceral/surveillance state, but somehow, SOMEHOW a bunch of hamfisted Facebook ads for trump are what decided the vote? That's the stupidest fucking shit I've ever heard.
Except you haven't heard it! It's a straw man! If you're going to call what I say "stupid," your claim should reflect what I actually said, not what you imagined I said.
FUCK OFF ABOUT RUSSIA GATE IN 2025 IT IS PERFORMATIVE HANDWRINGING BULLSHIT MEANT TO DISTRACT FROM THE DEMOCRATS OBVIOUS FAILURE TO GET HILLARY CLINTON ELECTED IN 2016. ITS PRECIOUS TO THINK THR AMERICAN POLITICAL PROCESS IS SACROSANCT WHILE WE BOMB AND MORTIFY ENTIRE COUNTRIES FOR IMF PAYMENTS.
THE USA USES THE THREAT OF WITHHOLDING LOANS, FOOD SHIPMENTS, RESTRICTION FROM CERTAIN MARKETS ETC AS A MEANS TO COERCE COUNTRIES TO ADOPT NEOLOBERAL ECONOMIC POLICIES MEANS NOTHING TO YOU. YOU FUCKING CRY ABOUT RUSSIA WHILE AMERIKA STEALS FOOD OUT OF CHILDREN'S MOUTHS. LITERALLY.
The proof is the original post that you are replying to. You can see with your eyes that they will not, under any circumstances, support anti-zionist candidates. They explicitly, openly prefer Republicans. In other words, the DNC is a political conspiracy. Is it really too complicated?
MAMDANI: (Literally pledges an 800% increase in city anti-hate programs.) GOLDMAN: I don't trust Mamdani until he pledges to do something proactive about hate in New York!
Can't believe he wouldn't have mentioned it during the conversation with Goldman. Did Goldman have earbuds in, or did he just never stop lecturing long enough to hear something?
Mamdani: co-endorses the only Jewish candidate in the race and pledges to be a mayor for Jews, Muslims, and everybody else alike This rich fuck: I FEEL UNSAFE WHEN WE ARE NOT ABOUT ISRAEL???
Pure coincidence that Goldman’s campaign was funded by AIPAC: mondoweiss.net/2022/08/how-...
I am opposed to the AI machines taking over, but am starting to wonder if they would be worse than the machine already running the Democratic Party.
There’s a conversation to be had about misinformation in the American Jewish community!
Yes, and the conversation needs to be about why they are spreading it.
Seriously, a sitting democrat congressman spreading this nonsense is just shameful.
Yes indeed! The Israeli and Zionist propaganda machine is powerful
Seems like Goldman is actively contributing to that *dis*information. He is apparently a US Congressman, so he cannot hide behind the "epistemic closure" excuse the usual chumps get to use.
I don’t think misinformation is driving the “concerns” of some in the American Jewish community, sadly.
True. But it is for many others. I'd generally bet that the badly informed kneejerk reactionaries are probably the larger group than the well informed bigots. As this is nearly always true. And the former can generally be reasoned with, though it does take a hell of a lot of careful effort.
Johnathan Swift stated, in the context of finding it difficult to convince atheists about the existence of god through reason, and since it has got a life of its own: "Reasoning will never make a Man correct an ill Opinion, which by Reasoning he never acquired"
And I would say that this is nonsense from first principles. I am far more in line with John Dryden's view: "A Man is to be cheated into Passion, but to be reason’d into Truth."
Also, you don't even have to look beyond your own personal experience to work out why Swift's view is complete bollocks. Unless you possess no reasoned viewpoints that started off as guesses.
I liked your entire response, but full disclosure- I only understood about 10% of what you said. I just liked the vibe.
Not sure if satire. I'll have a guess and then think about it.
Uh no, not satire, just blissful ignorance and trying to be transparent about it. Seriously, I don’t know Swift*, but I feel like you do and so I am going to nod my head and agree with what you’re saying. *just that Gulliver’s Travels book and that one famous oped about eating the rich
I think it’s a combination of misinformation, consistent unopposed messaging, and racism. Probably other things too.
you're assuming they don't know they're lying
I think many people honestly believe what they're saying, and that they intentionally shut their eyes to the truth (which is perhaps just as morally rephrensible as lying). Spoken from experience growing up as part of the Jewish community.
The vehemence/passion of the lying is hard to stomach as genuine belief, IMO. (I’m thinking of Gilibrand’s rant, for example.) But I could be wrong.
You should check out the documentary “Israelism” if this is of interest.
Perhaps you are not accounting for the impact of holocaust-associated trauma, which is significant. My read is Gillibrand is just saying what she thinks her rich constituents want to hear and that’s its own kind of awful.
U missed his singing praise for holy land 5 after jailed for funneling money for Hamas Jew killing campaign and being head of sjp
I’ll add groupthink
I'll add lobbying and AIPAC funding.
I hadn't thought of it that way but you're exactly right.
He's literally said and done all of these things Dan. What more do you want? I mean really want?
Long time fan of yours,but disappointed. Anti-Muslin and Jewish bigotry exist and threaten people all over- as does racism & anti-LGBTQ bias. Why does he have to specifically disavow antisemitism and not the others, would you demand similar behavior of others depending upon their race or religion?
I hope to see Israel destroyed in my lifetime
He campaigned with Brad Lander. His acts show no hatred. Why is he required to renounce all Jewish hate, except for the fact you're assuming how he feels based on his religion? This is disappointing bigotry.
He’s a DSA Socialist. Their platform is anti police and anti Jew. Just read it
DSA are antifascist, which naturally means opposing cops and Zionists. It's antisemitic to conflate the fascist ideology of Zionism with the religion of Judaism. That trick doesn't work anymore. The world sees Israel's crimes and there's no going back.
Again, DSA is anti Jewish
Then I guess Brad Lander, the only Jew in the race who cross-endorsed Zohran, is also anti-Jewush along with all the Jews that voted for him.
Any comment on this? bsky.app/profile/junl...
Nice ratio.
Ratio? How do you do an infinity to zero ratio?
You're everything that's wrong with the party. Congrats.
Condescending at best.
When has he ever done anything other than condemn hate and antisemitism?
Wow pretty racist
Islamophobia, plain and simple.
Vote blue no matter who right? Or does that only apply to the aipac owned scumbags running for office?
You're no different than the GOP.
I’m ashamed that you’re my representative
same
Criticism of Israel doesn't threaten Jews.
Pretty fucked up that the entire middle paragraph of this is wildly disconnected from the rest, and just reads as "I asked a Muslim to tell his Muslim bros to not do violence or whatever".
do you condemn islamophobic statements made by your colleagues? why not?
Man literally just posted an Islamophobia statement in the open, so I'm guessing no.
Primary every sitting congressperson!
Damn. This shit sucks!
He has committed himself to the safety of Jewish New Yorkers over and over and over. That you fail to hear and see it says more about you than him.
You're lucky he gave you a meeting, which is way more charitable than I'd be. He's the future of the party, and you can get on board or join your fascist friends on the right.
Do you care at all about the Muslim New Yorkers? They seem to have had a pretty tough time for years.
A Muslim woman was beaten on the train last week (after a man asked her if she was Muslim) and it barely got media coverage. I haven't heard one politician condemn it.
How about a statement on why you are being racist and Islamophobic? Is that what your constituents voted for?
Hey have you considered not being a big dumb baby who’s scared of stuff you made up in your head
He should consider this. Very reasonable suggestion.
Begging you to stop weaponizing support for Palestinian innocents being slaughtered by a rogue far right government with explicit US backing as "antisemitism", you're actively making the world less safe for Jews by continuously tying them to Israel's war crimes.
Exactly this
And where are your condemnations of anti-muslim speech? Please show your work before you demand it of others.
