Personally, I find the establishment dismissal of Angie Nixon wild to watch! CBC PAC went harder for Haley Stevens. Still no Emilys List back. No endorsements from the 2028ers.
Good reminder that you don’t need to campaign with Piker to be dismissed as extreme. Supporting progressive policy (as a black woman) seems to be enough.
What is this headline @AP?
No mention that the “rioters” are Israeli occupiers, no mention that the West Bank is OCCUPIED, and you lead with “Netanyahu condemns” like he doesn’t proudly boast about preventing a Palestinian state?
shannon, if you've been around normal folk in the last year that have voted for a democrat in the last decade, you'd know this take is as uncontroversial as claiming the 28 dem nominee will be pro-choice
Da die Regierung auf EU Ebene weiterhin die israelische Besatzung Palästinas unterstützt, bringen @NicoleGohlke und ich mit unserer Linksfraktion einen Antrag in den Bundestag ein, der explizit fordert, die wirtschaftliche und wissenschaftliche Kooperation endlich zu beenden 👇
when people try to both sides israel it’s like do yall not know the settlers will literally hunt people for sport and then take their belongings and property
With all due respect to @mattyglesias, the last few weeks have suggested to me that the center-left cares more about beating down the left than they do about beating Trump. We've seen the re-introduction of "woke" tropes by the Democratic establishment, weaponized against Abdul El-Sayed to suggest he's some kind of mysogonist, without any actual evidence. To accuse a Muslim man of misogyny is a classic trope, of course.
If I was someone who cared about the future of the Democratic Party and it's ability to compete with the GOP, I'd be more enthusiastic about people like Abdul and Zohran, who model a positive "clean-living" masculinity. I'd be be enthusiastic about their ability to turn out young voters who are otherwise disaffected by a party that doesn't seem to want to listen to them. They're also practicing Muslims who respect the role of religion in public life, something we need more of in an overly secularized Democratic Party.
This doesn't mean that everyone has to like Abdul or want him to win. Even if you want him to lose, you should see that he has something genuinely positive to offer to the Democratic Party.
When the left wants to beat establishment candidates, it's called "factionalism." When the establishment wants to beat the left, it's not called that. It's just normal and unaccounted for. Take @neeratanden for example. Her feed is mostly about her disdain for the left. I don't see how this is constructive. And those of us who are not part of the Democratic establishment shouldn't concede too much ground on these points. I worry, though, that we have.
a ésta hermana la han arrestado más veces por defender la humanidad que a los pederastas que siguen en cargos políticos aprobando que bombardeén civiles, realmente vivimos en el infierno
Hasan Piker: “Fox News is Rape TV. It’s the pro-rape network. One of their rapists hosts is now the fucking Secretary of War. Pete Hegseth also has a Nazi tattoo on his motherfucking chest. He was such a prolific rapist that his own mother sent him an email begging him to stop raping”
