@wil_da_beast630 Muslim powers are not clashing with the West at all. Migration is something human beings have been doing for over 100K years. If Spain doesn't want immigrants, they should shut off their boarders to them. This is not a Muslim problem. It is a human one.

@Another1917 @mattyglesias @mehdirhasan @yeselson The national environment is D+7. At worst for Dems, Michigan is R+2. A generic Dem should be up about 5 points against Rogers.

@jaskane @speechboy71 He ran as a moderate relative to the rest of the Dem field.

[Edith Samuels @ApatheticAddict]

@PhD_Purgatory @mattyglesias And yet somehow moderates were critical to the building of the modern Welfare State.

@WanderingSpir1t @DAaronovitch @DavidRobjant There you go again conflating diaspora Jews and Israel. There has been intense criticism of China in the West in the past decade, and yet diaspora Chinese do not insist on identifying with the CCP or China on ethnonationalist grounds. Why? Because it would breed distrust!

[Edith Samuels @ApatheticAddict]

@WanderingSpir1t @DAaronovitch @DavidRobjant What do British Jews have to do with anything? Are they Israelis? Is criticism of the CCP an attack of Brits with Chinese ancestry? You are encouraging charges of "dual loyalty".

@EclecticRadShow @mattyglesias How were Democrats supposed to save abortion?

@I_Harlequin @DropSiteNews You are an utter moron if you think Libya was a functioning State with Gadhafi at the time. A civil war was already underway, and Gadhafi was threatening to annihilate Benghazi if rebels didn't surrender. The French and British pushed Obama to intervene to prevent the massacre.

[Edith Samuels @ApatheticAddict]

@BPolatseck @abesilbe And who is supposed to be doing the slaughtering?

[Edith Samuels @ApatheticAddict]

@FeodorBarbu @DropSiteNews @krystalball @RepAdamSmith In the American context America exists, and the "native American" nations no longer do. There are no "natives" anywhere in the world. We are all just a bunch of primates roaming on a rock that is floating through space.

[Edith Samuels @ApatheticAddict]

@Danhuln @CoreyWriting @zagrebbi No, they didn't. This is idiotic.

[Edith Samuels @ApatheticAddict]

@anemuun @CoreyWriting @zagrebbi I am not certain that Somalis have a net negative fiscal impact. However, even if it is true, it would have true of the Irish too If we had social insurance back in the 19th century.

[Edith Samuels @ApatheticAddict]

@CoreyWriting @zagrebbi And how do you know we won't benefit from Somalian immigration in hindsight?

@hunter_joh80957 @wil_da_beast630 @NWordBiden It wouldn't necessarily bother me. It depends on the purpose of the movie and/or target audience. I am not as race obsessed as you are.

[Edith Samuels @ApatheticAddict]

@hunter_joh80957 @wil_da_beast630 @NWordBiden Ancient Greeks were not white either since the modern social construct of race didn't exist in their culture. So, what is your point exactly?

[Edith Samuels @ApatheticAddict]

@gresheff @CoreyWriting You have it backwards. They are claiming that the "occupied" have a right to self-defense and armed resistance. Palestinian armed resistance is a bad idea because they will get massacred, but the moral principle is reasonable.

[Edith Samuels @ApatheticAddict]

@Rightsof_Man @RichardHanania @TheDemocrats @kenmartin73 I do agree that many on the far left are anti-Zionist and a few celebrate violent resistance, but the vast majority of the party supports Israel's right to exist in safety and security.

[Edith Samuels @ApatheticAddict]

@TexansCommenter @KingAnderdingus @TFG_Football This only works if he accepts $45m APY. If he is truly worth 2 first round picks, why would he accept that deal. I think he is overvalued, but then again, I think most "elite" QBs are overvalued.

[Edith Samuels @ApatheticAddict]

@Rightsof_Man @RichardHanania @TheDemocrats @kenmartin73 This is nonsense. The Democrats have been strongly opposed to antisemitism for decades. Opposing the behavior of Israel's far right government is not antisemitic. It is what sensible liberals are supposed to do.

[Edith Samuels @ApatheticAddict]

@SportsWorld713 @JacobBarzilla What does my being a liberal have to do with anything?
