@Matthewmc794 @meganromer Doesn't DSA want to clearly state what it believes? Many object to the party's platform b/c, among other things, they think the amount of coercion required to enact its preferred policies would be very unpopular. How is the solution to downplay what DSA wants?

@DropSiteNews The interesting answer was re Ukraine. Putin will apparently be dissuaded by diplomats. The world they envision will be far bloodier + more dangerous than the current one. If there is no US involvement, wait till they see how Russia, Turkey, Iran, China, India + other states act.

@mehdirhasan So the guy who used to believe that non-believers in Islam and atheists were "cattle" feels comfortable telling Jews what they should and shouldn't believe. The chutzpah is impressive I suppose.

@shadihamid There are Muslim Zionists. Are they anti-Muslim?

[Ben Levy @3111Leviathan]

@thestustustudio @naomirwolf I wonder how much money he is raking in from his media brand. I assume that accounts for a lot of these "positions" -- outrage sells of course.

[Ben Levy @3111Leviathan]

@shadihamid @davidharsanyi You said it was unreasonable for him to call El-Sayed an Islamist or sympathetic to Islamists. He gave you his argument for doing so. I would agree that the "Islamist vote" -- whatever that means -- doesn't decide American elections. But that doesn't address his argument.

@Malinowski He should be asked if he supports funding NATO.

[Ben Levy @3111Leviathan]

@kaitlancollins The US spends hugely -- directly and indirectly -- on NATO. Someone should ask him if that should stop. Or aid to Taiwan.

@camkasky @im_PULSE Turkey oppresses Kurds for decades, occupies Northern Cyprus in violation of international law, supported Al Sharaa + his ISIS allies + occupies part of northern Syria. China occupies Tibet + puts Uyghurs in concentration camps. Don't forget about Russia + Iran. Do go on.

@mehdirhasan @WajahatAli It has been reported that he has a framed NY Times front page from September 12, 2001 in his studio with the headline "US Attacked" + a picture of the twin towers on fire. What is the explanation for that? Perhaps you can explain. I'm assuming that the reporting is accurate.

@TomalFahmi @mattlieb @grok Touch grass.

[Ben Levy @3111Leviathan]

@WajahatAli No one appointed you enforcer of acceptable views. You tweet incessantly what you think must be accepted + what shouldn't be. Plenty of people think Piker is unacceptable and they are going to hang him around the neck of candidates who campaigned with him.

@TomalFahmi @mattlieb @grok Try to be less angry; it isn't good for your health -- wouldn't want to deprive the world of your insightful perspective.

[Ben Levy @3111Leviathan]

@TomalFahmi @mattlieb @grok Any idiot can self-select their sources. You are Exhibit A for that. I don't agree with you. Maybe decaf tea would be the right choice for you.

[Ben Levy @3111Leviathan]

@TomalFahmi @mattlieb Muslims in Pakistan legally and societally possess more rights, privileges and protections than non-Muslims. So I gather you think Pakistan is an apartheid state.

[Ben Levy @3111Leviathan]

@TomalFahmi @mattlieb Try decaf. There is no need to hurl insults about matters you don't understand. I disagree with you. It isn't a crime. If Pakistan isn't an ethno-religious state, then neither is Israel. So whichever way you want it is fine with me.

[Ben Levy @3111Leviathan]

@shadihamid @MazMHussain I don't understand this argument. Are you suggesting that Muslim Americans who support the Palestinian cause have loyalty to a foreign state? If not, why does Jewish American support for Israel raise this allegation of dual loyalty?

[Ben Levy @3111Leviathan]

@hasanthehun Do you have a framed NY Times front page from September 12, 2011 in your studio? It's been reported you do and it reads "US Attacked" with a picture of the towers burning. Should be very simple to clarify this point.

[Ben Levy @3111Leviathan]

@AJentleson @honestlygfy @mattduss News reports say he keeps a framed picture of the NY Times from September 12, 2001 w headline "US Attacked" and picture of Twin Towers in flames in his studio. He apparently told viewers "I finally framed the cutie Cinderella newspaper from 9/11 ..." That is certainly a choice.

[Ben Levy @3111Leviathan]

@TomalFahmi @mattlieb I understand you are dim, which makes it challenging to follow along. Pakistan was founded as a homeland for the Muslims of British India. Islam is the official religion and it is approximately 95% Muslim. It is the literal definition of an ethno-religious state.
