@mehdirhasan@cenkuygur Itβs not left vs right idiot. We are clearly in a battle between good and evil, wars are being fought and children are being murdered because jewish supremacists want to steal land, but youβre too worried about offending your lefty fans to align with people on the right side.
Mehdi, I genuinely don't understand why you think in this binary way. That in order to be allies with someone on an issue, you have to vouch for that person in their entirety and every policy position they have. No, you just have to be an ally on that issue.
Martin Luther King, Jr. became allies with Lyndon Johnson, who was often viciously racist behind the scenes and got countless people killed in Vietnam. Should King have canceled Johnson instead of working with him to pass the Civil Rights Act?
If you're house is on fire and someone comes with a hose, you don't ask him about what his policy is on the carried interest loophole, you thank him for the help. If you hadn't noticed, Israel lit our house on fire.
