@dissentingj There is plenty of reason for the Democratic Party to move left. But policy shouldn't trump helping people. I want M4A. But I won't ever support the idea of harming people simply because I cannot get M4A passed. Nor should anyone who wants to claim they're helping the cause.
@HBendaas@OrganizerMemes There is no way to frame your point as a response to what was said other than “this is a reason we should excuse antisemitic behavior.” Your point isn’t even responsive. The topic was antisemitism in the US. What some Iranian woman has against Israel is a non-sequitur.
@Wilson__Valdez Those are some really shameless comments. Just projecting from all of the bullshit tactics they’ve used over election cycles to undercut the DNC. Maybe they’ll learn something about their past behaviors now? Probably not, but we can hope.
@ThomasJCarcetti It's amazing how you can feel how low effort, low energy this is. Where is all that energy the DSA uses to harass Democrats trying to make a positive difference in the world?!
@tonyannett Her criticism is especially punchy when you see her self-offered location as New York City. Nothing quite says "I believe NYC is about to become a nightmare socialist dystopia" quite like proudly living there.
@badsdaa@OrganizerMemes He states "this demonic ethnicity" which he also regards as fake. And this is monumentally stupid since all ethnicities are socially constructed. What is his justification for why being Jewish isn't an ethnicity? What other motivation does he have to say any of this nonsense?
@RealGIRobot@SireRottweiler Keep telling yourself that when you’re sitting next to MTG and Tucker. Maybe you’ll even delude yourself into believing it!
@MartinOdorGod_8@PushDemsLeft How is it THIS genocide needs to be opposed but others can be tolerated (if not supported because their governments are opposed to the US) and this still be a moral issue? All this does is show there is a different motivating ethos behind why you oppose THIS act & not the others.
@MartinOdorGod_8@PushDemsLeft You're intentionally not addressing the issue again. You're telling half the story. You need to close the loop. How do these Leftists make a moral claim about Israel and genocide, but then support Iran, China, and Russia who are engaging in the same behaviors labeled as genocide?
@MartinOdorGod_8@PushDemsLeft That's not how morality works. If something is immoral, it MUST be opposed. You can't just shirk your moral duties when you want to. What you're defending is just the mental gymnastics people used to arrive at a pre-conceived conclusion motivated by hating the West and Israel.
@MartinOdorGod_8@PushDemsLeft As for your claim voters couldn't morally support the Trump alternative, that's just bogus. Leftists aren't taking a principled stance against genocide. You can't support Iran, Russia, or China and say you take principled stance against genocide.
@ElkenrodKarmic And radio silence in the face of objective evidence that DSA types poll refusing to vote for Stevens or McMorrow. Keep playing dumb that this is only one or two twitter weirdos and not a movement that has spent a decade saying this very thing loudly.
@ElkenrodKarmic@trouble_man90 Look at the poll, genius. It tells you want you need to know. I’ll give you a hint, see how Mike Rogers polling number doesn’t change but the other candidates do? That’s what you need to respond to.
@ElkenrodKarmic@trouble_man90 You can't win with them either. The Leftists are refusing to meet you anywhere but their territory. They either win with your support or you win the primary and they play Cartman-ball. If you're comfortable with that, so be it. But it's not what an ally would do.
@MartinOdorGod_8@PushDemsLeft Again, if leftists could get their head out of their ass, we wouldn't be in the problem in the first place. We could probably have more radical change if leftists would be willing to do more than sabotage the DNC and enable the GOP to erode our rights further.
@MartinOdorGod_8@PushDemsLeft As for why leftists and not republicans, the simply fact is Republicans have no interest in doing the right thing in this country. Leftist allege they do but we have no reason to believe it so. Especially when you rebuke the idea you have any obligation to do so.
