@MillieOfferman@katewillett Ummm… politicians stick to their principles and campaign on popular policies, then govern on those policies, people like those policies, and elect more politicians who campaign and eventually govern on those policies. Magic!
@MillieOfferman@katewillett “Ooh look at me I’m so ADULT. Demanding progress and having principles are so CHILDISH!” Damn. If you can’t see that slow, compromising progress is a wholly inadequate response to the crises at hand, well, maybe you’re the naive one…
@mattyglesias I don’t think you are accounting for the lag-time that brand fatigue requires. As humans we are often unwilling to accept that we have been duped, and it takes repeated lessons over years for reality (e.g., that Dem rhetoric is mostly empty) to sink in. But we’re getting there…
@UncleScottiepoo@katewillett It was a toxic disaster that required mass evacuation. What more do you need? How many people died of lead poisoning in Flint? Your metric is stupid.
Idk seems to me that those who insist that the state committing a genocide and the lobby spending millions to defend that state are both synonymous with Jewish people… are doing far more to normalize antisemitism than those of us criticizing those entities for their actions
