I love arguing with people i disagree with if they come in good faith. I learn so much arguing on here and my other platforms, my views on so many issues have evolved through these arguments over the years. If anyone ever disagrees with me tell me. Lets talk, argue, and learn!
Abdul El-Sayed suffers from what a lot of leftist candidates struggle with: they want to campaign in a world they wish they lived in, not the one in which they do. And their refusal to acknowledge it, particularly in states Donald Trump won, puts seats unnecessarily at risk.
If you can’t say that you did everything you could to help Hillary, Biden, or Kamala beat Trump, you should really just shut the fuck up about national politics and reflect on how you failed to understand the threat 🤷🏼♂️
Tonight I heard a failed and desperate president who as war spirals and prices rise is as always focused on his grievances, his shame, and above all his fear of the accountability that will come with defeat.
I also heard a president signaling his unmistakable intent to attack these elections and our voting rights, just as he tried to throw out our votes and seize the presidency in 2020.
Our answer will be overwhelming.
Across Georgia a wave of defiance is building to rebuke him so decisively that no president ever again dares such brazen corruption and abuse.
The power of the presidency is nothing compared to the power of the people.
This is a 25th Amendment moment.
I just watched the ramblings of a mad king and what else can I say — the only thing missing was tin foil.
Donald Trump is trying to rig our elections and we have to stop him.
Show up and VOTE this November.
Trump is out here talking about “the deep state” as if he doesn’t control the house, senate, White House, AND THE SUPREME COURT 🤣! Bro YOU are the deep state. DELUSIONAL!
The president is scared of your power, and he wants you to believe your vote does not matter.
He wants you to lose confidence in our electoral system so you stay home this November. He knows how discontent the American people are, and he wants to make sure that you do not vote.
Because if the people vote in their numbers, Republicans will lose.
I would personally be very embarrassed if Republicans were boosting my candidacy but the left does not care because, like Republicans, they also see Democrats as their main enemy.
If Stevens wins the primary, liberals should not waste their time with the vote blue no matter who stuff, leftists aren’t going to do it. They never have and they never will.
He’s engaged in another full on assault on our democratic process. He’s attacking the 2026 elections as we speak. He’s a danger to this country. He’s an enemy of this country. He should be in jail.
Stop saying “F*ck ICE.” Tell us your plan to reform it.
Stop saying “Free Palestine.” Tell us your pathway to achieving a lasting peace.
Stop saying “Medicare for All.” Explain how you’re actually going to build the coalition and persuade enough lawmakers to pass it.
If candidates who campaign on slogans instead of governing continue to win primaries, then it’s no wonder Donald Trump is president again.
Something has gone wrong in our politics. While many Democrats focused on governing, media spaces were increasingly dominated by outrage pundits and political entertainers. We normalized some of the most deplorable voices and shifted the Overton window toward post-liberal politics.
Challenging institutions and questioning the status quo can be healthy and progressive. But, we should always ask who benefits when public trust in every institution is eroded. Remember, not everyone trying to tear something down is interested in building something better.
Our adversaries are laughing because, in today’s America, experienced legislators are expected to answer to online personalities and oyster farmers whose entire political program amounts to repeating slogans.
The Biden administration didn’t have to chant “Free Palestine” to pursue a two-state solution, increase humanitarian aid, support Palestinian self-determination, oppose Hamas, and apply pressure on the far-right Israeli government.
The Obama administration didn’t have to abolish immigration enforcement to pursue immigration reform, expand protections for immigrants, and explore practical ways to improve our system.
The Clinton administration didn’t spend every day campaigning on universal health care. Instead, it focused on economic growth, deficit reduction, and policies that contributed to greater financial stability for many Americans, while pursuing health care reforms that ultimately fell short.
Could Democratic administrations have done better? Absolutely. Every administration leaves unfinished work.
But people who dismiss decades of incremental progress as meaningless while offering nothing beyond slogans are not interested in offering solutions.
America is not perfect, but it is a great country. Its strength comes from electing representatives who understand that governing requires responsibility, coalition-building, compromise, and results, not political entertainers selling snake oil, repeating catchphrases, or turning politics into a reality show.
Be gone, @grahamformaine. You’re every bit as disgraceful as the people who stood by your side and still, to this day, refuse to take accountability for the lies they’ve fed to Americans who still believe in our democracy!
First it was Fetterman, then Talarico, then Platner, now El Sayed; every new candidate they fall in love with is the next President. Genuinely you guys need to find other hobbies, this is embarrassing
If you merely replaced "Russia" with "Israel" and "Ukraine" with "Palestine," you would have half this site (and Hasan specifically) in your mentions calling you a genocide living murderer.
But for some reason, the same people who have made their entire existence one foreign policy conflict, seem to at best, not care, but more accurately, take the side of Russia, in the other major global conflict.
And they are the ones who want to lecture everyone about how they are the only ones on the side of 'morality'. Sure....
Sick and tired of his stupid audience coping that he isn't anti-Ukraine, as well as suicidal naivete of libs and lefties who think he isn't malicious.
His position is exactly the same as it was in the infamous clips he tried to distance himself from:
A) "Cry me a river, Ukrainians were part of russia, historically russian land"
B) "Too white to care" aka we ain't brown and we aren't fighting against Western imperialism but against russian, which Hasan does not oppose.
C) "Ukrainian lives under occupation won't change that much, I am not worried" - this, was a monstrous lie Hasan allowed unchallenged on his platform. In reality, russians are prohibiting all and any expression of Ukrainian culture, language, mass rape, tortue, deport, imprison and kill Ukrainians in occupation systematically, settle russians there instead of the people they killed or deported, proudly announce on the state level that they will have to exterminate 30-50% of the population to cleanse us and make sure we ain't a threat and what is left in occupation is russification, terror, isolation and degradation. Hasan knows this, it was brought to his attention many times, he just doesn't give a fuck.
D) We gave peace a try dozens of times but russians throw our people in the mass graves, proceed to daily massacre our civilians, bomb children with cancer in a hospital and as well as 1000+ other medical facilities, destroy our cultural heritage, record videos of decapitation and their human safari in Kherson aka the most well documented targeting of civilians by hunting them down with drones. And, of course, reject any peace deal that wasn't utter capitulation that includes disarmament of our forces and giving them the East and South, more than they were actually able to take, with zero guarantees from anyone that this will prevent them from attacking again. "No harm in this" indeed 🙃
E) He also lies, of course, about Ukrainians wanting to capitulate, absolutele majority of Ukrainians (75%) are against territorial concessions with no proper security guarantees.
And 52% are just plain against any ceding of land.
Hasan doesn't care what Ukrainians want however, he has an agenda to push.
F) Give this advice to Gaza, you absolute fucking cunt 🙂
