@ElliotMalin@TheDemocrats Idk about that. Most voters aren't chronically online, so it's likely that a majority of primary voters breaking for Galindo aren't aware of that whole story.
That said, clearly some of her voters know and voted for her anyway.
@VictorSfor92210@magi_jay This is not a new theory among the anti-Israel fanatics. I'm guessing that the post is a reference to the Haavara Agreement, but they ignore that the agreement was pretty controversial among Zionists in Germany, and it was effectively terminated in 1939.
@soufflewaffle The whole thing with the boys fighting each other just by being there only to be snapped out of it by destruction of the entity compelling them to do so was literally ripped from the Asylum episode of Supernatural.
@KevStevenson21 Point of correction: evidence does not indicate Robinson is a groyper. He is bisexual, but Discord messages and statements from his friends in the chat indicate he was not strongly political. Just incredibly online and into memes that are not strictly groyper memes.
1) Not celebrating or justifying. Fully denouncing the violence in fact.
2) Not blaming “The Right”, blaming one nut job on the right who was mentally unwell and so isn’t going to see hateful language as hyperbole instead of reality.
3) Your last sentence is the exact kind of thing, that doesn’t turn down temperature, but instead sounds like a dog whistle to the most delusional people on the fringe.
That’s the point here.
99% if “the left” has said Kirk’s killing was awful and unacceptable.
99% of the right, are good people who also don’t want violence.
But saying something is “win or die” is the exact kind of thing that some mentally ill loser will latch on to, taking it as a call to arms, whether you intend it or not.
You have a uniquely powerful voice in the moment, and have actually started to advocate for turning down the temperature and disavowing violence.
Please don’t walk away from that - I truly hope you continue to use that, and know, that most Americans, on all lots of life, think Kirk’s assassination was heinous and unforgivable.
But when you tell a community they are playing a glorified “war” some crazies are going to believe that, and that’s what people are blaming.
@TriHard_Yoink@NathanJRobinson@dpakman Defending a needed leftwing voice. Just keep on proving his point about the purity test left.
Also, I thought you zealots hated Zionists, not Jews. I could accuse you of covering for antisemites just as easily as you accuse David of covering for Israel (which he has not).
@ItsRainingBen I would say Chess is an exception to the rule. It started out in concert form, and staged versions with big sets have historically fallen flat. I'm eager to know what they're doing with the plot in this revival since no two productions have been the same.
(🧵) Major media should be ashamed.
The manifesto of the Minnesota shooter has been translated—and it's all about his hatred of Jews, Blacks, Mexicans, illegal immigrants, Somalis... none of this had to do with him being trans and major media *knows* it.
So why won't it say so?
@jakescottMD By RFK's logic, why not also claim that aluminum in vaccines increased the risk of vitiligo in the same time period (ignoring the confidence interval and tiny sample size)?
This was a great breakdown of the study and the bad faith criticisms of its findings. Keep at it!
Most autistic people are actually functioning members of society. Many aren't diagnosed until adulthood.
You know what kids definitely won't ever play baseball or go on a date? Kids who die of diseases preventable by vaccines.
RFK JR: And these are kids who will never pay taxes, they'll never hold a job, they'll never play baseball, they'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted
@bwaysummers@corychainsman Also a song celebrating the first female American airline captain in history, because recognizing major identity-related historical milestones is considered "woke".
