@Econ_Marshall@mehdirhasan DC has a strict code: if you are in the political sphere, you are afforded respect far beyond any that you have earned. You back up your “colleagues on the other side” so you can maintain power, which is the only currency. And it breeds a despicable creature that is LOATHED.
@AliceFromQueens It’s frankly an indication that all the good propagandists spent far too much time in the Blob to keep their skills sharp. A propagandist has one duty: to change minds. They appear to have forgotten that not everybody automatically agrees with them.
@Lex_Jurgen@ijbailey Because your comment fails to acknowledge the oppo dumps are going one way when there’s an actual sitting Senator who supports disastrous, inhumane policy. And she’s considered “above board.”
@keithdorejel “The jobs will be bad and we’re going to make it illegal to prosecute abusive bosses”
Dem response: “probably should have been born to privilege if you wanted a good job. Otherwise, try debt.”
@Lex_Jurgen@ijbailey Collins supports a rapist and votes to fund state-sanctioned murder. Why is her moral depravity considered “civilized?” She’s a bad person.
@willchamberlain@SohrabAhmari I think she saw it and that he had gotten it while he was a drunk edgelord with a bunch of other guys who were paid by our government (Collins-approved), to murder people abroad. That’s the reality of combat and a bit of honesty about what our soldiers are asked to do.
@thenation He’s not running on IdPol. Neither was Mamdani. Neither is el-Sayer. Neither did Summer Lee, AOC, Tlaib or Omar.
This is embarrassingly lazy, braindead wokescolding and the effectiveness of that train has sailed.
@HonorableDredd@kenklippenstein Arming and funding a genocide is a moral red line for many people. Plenty of his detractors in the Democratic Party do not agree, apparently.
@robbysoave I think it’s good to recognize that there was more than a little hysteria driving that. Gillibrand used it to run Franken out of office because he was an effective progressive voice.
