It finally happened!

One of these years, the MLB postseason will have a happy ending for the Dodgers while Kershaw still plays for them. Only a matter of time!

[#DoodleYourFriend 🔗 @dodgerdudel]

@MooneyOwnsYou It’s between that and 2017 WS Game 5 for the worst experience I’ve ever had attending a MLB game in person. 2017 was worse given what we know now, but 2019 G5 was more soul-crushing in the moment

I like Trump slightly more than I did yesterday after reading this

@academic_la Iran outmaneuvered Bibi and Trump wants no part of an unpopular war that’s making gas crazy expensive. But Bibi, being what he is, is going to carpet-bomb Lebanon because he doesn’t want any deal and only wants regime change in Oran

[#DoodleYourFriend 🔗 @dodgerdudel]

@academic_la Israel also deserves a worse deal than the JCPOA. Bibi lobbied against it then lost. He got Trump to pull out of it, but had no plan beyond baiting Trump into forever war. This is all bc Bibi was pissed at Obama for treating nukes and terrorism as separate issues

Why the hell is the stoke victim going after the Iraq combat vet with PTSD? For all of his flaws, I love that Platner saw in himself the psychiatric harms that combat causes and doesn’t want America putting more people through that

Sen. John Fetterman lashed out at Maine Senate Democratic nominee Graham Platner on Fox News: "He’s not even a Democrat" https://t.co/os6uDczDdT

[#DoodleYourFriend 🔗 @dodgerdudel]

@belle_joyeux Or vote third party and not rank Collins. Not supporting Platner is fine so long as voters don’t support Collins either. Perfectly reasonable to say pox on both their houses and let Platner win because Collins won’t hit the Trump number with Republicans

[#DoodleYourFriend 🔗 @dodgerdudel]

It’s a high percentage but nowhere near 99%. I’ll vote for the lesser evil/better option come November no matter how little I like it, but plenty won’t vote at all or cast a protest vote. I’ve voted for plenty of Dems I don’t love on that very basis

[Zaid Jilani @ZaidJilani]

I think 99 percent of Dems would vote for either Joe Manchin or Graham Platner if they were the nominees in their states and the “vote blue no matter who” debate is mostly among faction-obsessed twitter types

[#DoodleYourFriend 🔗 @dodgerdudel]

@belle_joyeux I’m optimistic about Platner taking down Collins. Platner will pick up Trump voters who are pissed at Trump. None of the shitty things about him seem like dealbreakers to that segment of the electorate. Dems who don’t like him should abstain instead of vote for Collins

[#DoodleYourFriend 🔗 @dodgerdudel]

I wouldn’t take up arms for either side in this one, but have more sympathy for the Palestinians than the Israelis at this point. Israelis have a much higher quality of life and most have more options for leaving and living elsewhere. Palestinians are mostly stuck

[Magic Flower @MagicFlower22]

Which side are you?

[#DoodleYourFriend 🔗 @dodgerdudel]

A lot of Israel critics get wrongly branded as antisemites—especially Muslim ones. I’m most interested in electing people who will protect the rights of all religious minorities in the US. That is far more important than a particular candidate’s views on the State of Israel

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

I’m not Jewish. I’m married to a proud Jewish woman. I’m a proud Zionist and a fierce supporter of the state of Israel.

A truth: What makes antisemitism so uniquely dangerous is that it’s always had a home and it’s always been a real threat on BOTH the left & the right.

An observation: Whenever I speak that truth, whenever I say antisemitism is found in unacceptable numbers on BOTH the left & the right, most people on the left tell me it’s only a problem on the right, and most people on the right tell me it’s only a problem on the left. They’re both wrong.

[#DoodleYourFriend 🔗 @dodgerdudel]

The primary is over. Maine Dems had their chance to pick a better human than Platner but didn’t like their options. It’s time to get over it and focus the ill-will on Susan Collins for rubber-stamping Brett Kavanaugh and plenty of other Trump misdeeds

[@resistancesean.bsky.social @ResistanceSean]

We don’t have to accept bad behavior from yt male candidates in order to win elections. Peltola in Alaska and Cooper in NC are doing just as good if not better than Platner, and they are doing it in red states.

[#DoodleYourFriend 🔗 @dodgerdudel]

@dodgersjordan And principle is really dead in American politics. If it weren’t, Thomas Massie wouldn’t have been successfully primaried. I’d love to be back in the before time when being a decent person meant something electorally. Losing that is a big part of Trump’s cost to our country

[#DoodleYourFriend 🔗 @dodgerdudel]

@dodgersjordan It really is best for Dems to focus their anger at a party guaranteed to have two of Ken Paxton, Randy Fine, and Dan Blizerian on the 11/26 ballot. Platner at least seems likely to vote in cromulent ways most of the time

[#DoodleYourFriend 🔗 @dodgerdudel]

This is disingenuous. Tel Aviv is inside the Green Line where the Palestinians who weren’t forced out in the first Nakba have Israeli citizenship. Now show the difference between illegal Israeli settlements/roads vs. Palestinian villages/roads in the occupied West Bank

[Avital Leibovich @AvitalLeibovich]

Same park in Tel Aviv:

On the left- Israeli Arabs marking Eid al Adha- last month.

On the right- Tel Aviv gay parade, yesterday.

Anyone wants to tell me that Israel is an apartheid state?!

2020 Dodgers

[Andrew Justin @COSportsNut]

Out of all your favorite teams, you only get to pick one championship, the rest don’t exist.

Which championship are you keeping?

[Ta-Nehisi Quotes @steady_drumbeat]

Platner wrote a ton about his political beliefs on Reddit. He didn’t think it’d be read. He was a woke BLM guy who talked about the struggles of LGBT marines & got into arguments with Holocaust revisionists. There is no Nazi on earth who would talk like this. It’s dispositive.

[#DoodleYourFriend 🔗 @dodgerdudel]

@dodgersjordan @bradlander @danielsgoldman Lander is also a tougher opponent than one usually gets as an AIPAC Dem. He’s in the anti-Israeli regime without being anti-semitic sweet spot. Dem leadership really needs to embrace being a big-tent party with no Israel litmus test. Dems’ already have too shaky of a coalition

[#DoodleYourFriend 🔗 @dodgerdudel]

@dodgersjordan @bradlander @danielsgoldman AIPAC is a stupid hill for any Democrat with greater political ambitions to likely die on at some point. Casting your lot with Bibi and Ben Gvir when no Jewish Democrat has faced any political consequence for rejecting AIPAC for JStreet
