@Noahpinion Or like, give people economic guarantees, that’s like the entire source of left wing power.
People care less about social issues when the trains run on time, wages are high and there is an illusion of merit
FDR figured this out!
@Chan_man0@red_baiting@DanTheZionist@mehdirhasan Mass rape & weapon of war, being a top down directive from Hamas & indicative of the orgs moral character is a core part of genocide justification
We do not speak of the US or Israel as mass rapists even though there is more evidence of our forces raping in Afghanistan than 10/7
@DanTheZionist@mehdirhasan There is more evidence of Israeli forces raping Palestinians than the other way around. There is more evidence of US forces raping in every war it’s been a part of than Hamas on October 7th
Was there rape on October 7th? probably
But the mass rape claim is a racist fantasy
@Noahpinion Very few instances of socialists having any type of power
Your thinking of the progressive establishment, and there is clear evidence that voters do differentiate between the two as DSA has mainly taken out people who claimed the progressive tittle
@estherzelda0514 It does not blame the victim because Zionists aren’t victims of antisemitism Jews are. Most Zionists aren’t Jews. The most ardent Israel supporters are white evangelical Christians
@envisionedluna There is no world where being YIMBY or supporting nuclear matters more to people than AIPAC
They may make a material difference but those issues aren’t salient
@chrisrabb We on the left must stop inserting the word “bro” where it is unnecessary
Being a bro is not bad, being masculine is not bad. It feels like misandry to anyone that isn’t already socially left wing
Hasan Piker is irritating and says stupid stuff constantly but it is literally true that zionism fuels anti-Semitism. This is a "poverty causes crime" type fact and getting mad at it is failing an IQ test.
@TradeUnionJake The view of most leftists is that the CIA is a redundant, dangerous, globe destabilizing agency and should be abolished
We feel the same way about someone from the cia running as a democrat as someone from ice doing that
@bdquinn I think the way to square this circle is to embrace DBCFT and industrial policy while eliminating tariffs
You still privilege American exports and national security while making things cheap
@412dem@MakeUSAVAT That’s one seat in a specific district. The vast majority of districts (including ones dominated by independents) have a majority of voters opposed to aid to Israel
It’s like if you had one anti-choice dem from Kentucky in charge of planned parenthood
Democratic nominee for Iowa Governor Rob Sand says Kamala Harris should not run for president in 2028.
Sand also says he does not want Harris to campaign for him.
@MicahLasher White nationalist white people are bad
White people being against white nationalism is good
Zionist Jews are bad
Jews being Anti-Zionist is good
It’s called believing in liberal democracy and having American values
@bdquinn Idk why we keep pretending it’s not our choice. It’s not up to them
Do an accounting of every way we aid the Israeli state, every point of leverage and say it’s all gone if they don’t choose between a 1967 borders Palestinian state or a binational state
They will comply
