I feel like this whole Platner situation could’ve been avoided if a bunch of upper middle class leftists hadn’t seen the most obvious red flags imaginable and thought, “that’s just what rough, salty, Ohio Waffle House type working class people are like”

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

I think the reason everyone is responding negatively to this position is that the pod save guys were (rightly) FURIOUS with the Biden campaign for not acknowledging the weaknesses which led to a situation which gave Republicans an advantage. Fair enough. It was a tough position to take because Biden truly was a very effective president. But they were right.

This same anger, however, is nowhere to be found about a deeply troubled candidate with a long history of bigotry, sexism, dishonesty and problematic behavior which harms his campaign and thus the chance to beat the Republicans and be a true check on Trump’s power.

I won’t conjecture as to why they have this double standard except to say that it’s odd and maybe worth reevaluating at this point given how much his behavior and non-disclosures have materially harmed his campaign and, given the stakes, endangered American democracy itself.

This was the EXACT argument they made against Biden and it’s nowhere to be found here.

Gotta love it...member of the state legislature not sure why the MTA (funded by the state legislature) isn't doing its job.

[Emily Gallagher @EmilyAssembly]

Heads up, the G train is not running?! and there are enormous waits at every bus stop. @MTA our district is getting really fed up with you 😭

[Brianna Wu @BriannaWu]

We made Al Franken resign over a joke, but this woman can cheerlead the rape, slaughter, and torture of Jewish civilians and no one in my party gives a fuck.

[Drew Endick @DrewEndick]

@RoKhanna @grahamformaine @ZohranKMamdani @hasanthehun How is this an appropriate or relevant response to @lilyycohenn's tweet? She is making a point about antisemitism in the Democratic party. At what point does failing to acknowledging the problem maybe mean you are part of the problem?

[Tali Goldsheft @TaliGoldsheft]

Influencers like Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, Hasan Piker, and Ana Kasparian have cashed in big by cloaking antisemitism as "anti-Zionism"—raking in views, subs, and rage-bait revenue as engagement explodes post-Oct. 7.

Social media algorithms turbocharge this toxic grift, pushing extreme hate to the top and warping reality: users get fed one-sided echo chambers, conspiracy tropes, and dehumanizing narratives that distort facts and normalize bigotry against Jews.

The result? Skyrocketing antisemitism, poisoned discourse, and a distorted public view of the world.

Call it what it is: profitable poison.
⬇️⬇️⬇️

Ana Kasparian has 6.46 million YouTube subscribers.

Hasan Piker has 3 million Twitch followers.

Candace Owens has 5.88 million YouTube subscribers.

Tucker Carlson has 1.68 million YouTube subscribers (plus broader podcast/network reach in the millions per episode/view).

Nick Fuentes gets up to ~1 million viewers per episode on platforms like Rumble; over 1 million X followers.

Jackson Hinkle has over 2.6 million followers on X (with notable growth in anti-Israel commentary).

[Drew Endick @DrewEndick]

This hit the nail on the head, and why I have a hard time with US politics. The likes of Mamdani and MTG are savvy enough to realize they can win in a system that traditionally casts them out by pulling on the same emotional strings that Ana and Tate do in a less radical way

[codyb @codybrown]

A finer point on this.

I have empathy for young people who have struggled for meaning and work in an era of major turbulence.

Both young men who have retreated from college/employment because they didn't think they were worth it.

And young women who went to college and now face an amount of debt that feels impossible to ever recover from.

Just know that the product Andrew Tate and @AnaKasparian are selling you is resentment. It's not even class resentment (that's sprinkled in). It's the oldest form of bigotry wrapped in new packaging.

It tells you that, if only Jews or Israel were to vanish, the future and your future would improve.

There's obviously a spectrum here between critiques of Israel/jokes, and what we see now with leftists like Ana. Which is something that was beyond the pale even a few years ago and now utterly common on the internet and progressive spaces.

But the end of the rabbit hole is the same.

When you scapegoat, you surrender your own agency. And the more you do it and fan the flames of it for thousands of cheap likes, the more you fashion yourself as some sort of brave truth teller.

The outcome is the least surprising thing imaginable. You become bitter, vengeful and your life gets harder to turn around.

[Drew Endick @DrewEndick]

Trying to unseat Dan Goldman, one of the most effective and liberal Democrats in congress feels like a massive waste of time

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

I’m proud to be supporting my friend Brad Lander for Congress. 

@BradLander has spent his career taking on big fights for New York’s working families. He’ll bring principled leadership to Washington and make sure Congress works for the many, not just the few.

[Lily @lilyycohenn]

Don't take donations from corporate PACs if you don't want to, but claiming you're against special interests while only naming AIPAC is a convenient and not-so-subtle way of saying your primary issue is with Jewish money, not corporate money.

[Drew Endick @DrewEndick]

This is not only a cringe ad, but a great opportunity to let everyone know that not only is @ReynosoBrooklyn the better candidate but he is also actually from North BK! Please vote!

[Claire Valdez @claireforny]

There's no one more Greenpoint than @EmilyAssembly — or someone who's fought harder in Albany for housing, transit and environmental justice.

I couldn't be more excited to have her endorsement in our run for Congress.

[Neera Tanden🌻 @neeratanden]

A lot of people can criticize the members here, but the last person who should do that is a person who helped Trump win when she could have supported the Dem presidential candidate.

[Drew Endick @DrewEndick]

Doing this the same day that news drops that @GovKathyHochul is working with Mamdani to expand childcare is really something. Shows you exactly how Emily and the rest of the @nycDSA reps in NYC work. Not exactly good faith partners.

[Emily Gallagher @EmilyAssembly]

I want a governor who has the conviction and courage to act on our most pressing issues—wealth inequality, the housing crisis, attacks on immigrants, and the threat climate crisis poses to our frontline communities—this MATTERS.

@DelgadoforNY is that leader.

[Drew Endick @DrewEndick]

I think it is incredibly odd to see so many otherwise reasonable people choose to die on this hill, including my own rep @LincolnRestler. I agree that we shouldn't judge adults for what they did years ago. But we've demanded purity from the right for years. Why is this different?

[Emma Mintz @mintz_emma]

Just to double down here. As a Jew she hired and spent the last 6 weeks, 7 days a week, 14 hours a day with her. Cat Da Costa is one of the most understanding, kind, and open people I have ever worked with. We should not be held to the worst things we said when we were young.

[Yair Rosenberg @Yair_Rosenberg]

Seven years ago, could have been written yesterday

[Drew Endick @DrewEndick]

"We spoke up at our community board meeting in front of a silent Mamdani representative, to no response."

A snippet of what it's like in a district represented by the @nycDSA. Zero interest in taking on local issues that don't align with their ideology.

[Drew Endick @DrewEndick]

I can't stop thinking about this from @JillFilipovic. "I don't like this anti-semitic thing but I'm still a supporter" is just...anti-semitic.
It is one thing to support a candidate when you disagree with political views. It is another to support a candidate that is prejudiced.

[Jill Filipovic @JillFilipovic]

I like zohran but this is actually bad and anti-Semitic.

[greg. @mistergeezy]

Guess who did not vote for Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Act to fix NYC's infrastructure?

[Drew Endick @DrewEndick]

My main theory on NYC voting is that a growing chunk of the electorate have become so wealthy over the past 10 years that they don't vote based on real, local, city issues. So we come up with deeply unserious candidates that are at best incompetent.

[Jill Filipovic @JillFilipovic]

I like zohran but this is actually bad and anti-Semitic.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

$250 million for his ballroom. 

$40 billion for Argentina.

$172 million for Kristi Noem’s two private jets.

$0 to lower your health care premiums.

[Drew Endick @DrewEndick]

Ah yes, a totally normal thing to post (from an account that my trusted state assembly rep @EmilyAssembly happens to follow).
