Hey @hasanthehun , I sent this email your way a few days ago. I think we can raise $5m to directly support Palestinian children if you agree to share the stage with @TheOmniLiberal for a good-faith, helpful discussion. Steven has already agreed to participate. Please let me know ASAP whether we can come together for an hour or so to make an important difference.
@Mantispr3ys Remember the meme: they don't care about electability because they don't really want to hold power; they'd rather lose with their crappy platforms than win with a more moderate one.
Better said, anything but a far leftie is a loss for them because it's all or nothing.
@hasanthehun One thing to say a military target deserved to be attacked, but civilians deserved it?
Notice this man doesn't dare go anywhere near this vile rhetoric when he's cosplaying as a Democrat in public, having puff pieces done on him, or otherwise trying to gain mainstream access.
People over at @majorityfm understand the mission: unyielding support, no matter how inane or riduclous, for every single person on their side until it becomes basically impossible to do so (see: Platner).
They operate functionally identically to MAGA.
@bluedoggeosh@FearInherent Ah to be a privileged leftie loaded up with excuses to avoid confronting all reality.
Dude talking about wealth and capital when the average person of color could never even consider opening a cafe but this goofball did it just to piss away money and time -- because he could.
Leftists live in an alternate reality.
Virtually everything he said here makes him more electable.
You can disagree with some of his positions (I'd like to see him back abolishing ICE, for instance), but the idea that running to the far left is a winning strategy in this environment is wild.
This election shouldn't be about passing massive social programs. Run on that platform and you will lose.
It should be about systemic reforms that lower the cost of living, reduce the power of the executive, and make our system of governance functional again.
@TheOmniLiberal I'm sorry but if you find yourself helplessly aroused by the people providing your political commentary and analysis, something has gone very wrong.
@hypr_caffeinatd@hutchinson You guys are the ones going on Fox News to talk about nutty shit almost no American supports like abolishing prisons and open borders -- just to hurt Democrats.
Just admit this is a game to you and you don't give a shit about poor people, gay people, or POC.
@CounterSignalCO@ChrisCadence This is why we have Trump and all other slopulist conmen: you people trip over yourselves to believe slogans and empty promises while suspending all critical thinking.
