@briebriejoy@WajahatAli Who really benefits if AES and Harris rally together? It wasn’t a rally, it was one roundtable discussion on Black maternal and reproductive health, held in Detroit, where AES underperformed. And hopefully AES benefits.
@sue97687@AbdulElSayed You know most prominent economists, including Nobel prize winners, etc, criticize this blunt tariff policy, right? Also know that the UAW endorses AES and has done so since the primaries? Listen again to what he actually said in this clip and say what you actually disagree with.
@IronLordTTV@RashidaTlaib You look it up. It’s pretty widely known that the ultra rich, who live off of their wealth, don’t pay much of anything in taxes, making the rest of us who actually work for a living pay a lot more. Why do you let them make you their chump?
@IronLordTTV@RashidaTlaib Don’t confuse high income earners, who actually work, with the wealth of the billionaire class. The latter pay basically nothing in taxes and earn tens of millions more each year by doing nothing but sitting on their bums.
@GailsMiddleName@RashidaTlaib Yes indeed. Although the billionaire class, which pays basically nothing in taxes, is richer than Bernie or Hasan Piker by orders of magnitude. You know that, right?
@quiet_please_0@AbdulElSayed@MikeRogersForMI You must be a closet AES fan, prompting us to remind you that after high school he was a valedictorian at UM and then a Rhodes Scholar, which is only the most prestigious and competitive post-graduate scholarship in the world.
@Bram_R@MaddiesHotTake@hasanthehun Have you somehow missed that he’s repeatedly, and for years, called antisemitism the “canary in the coal mine” for fascism, while simultaneously arguing against conflating it with anti-Z’ism? See for instance his Oxford Union speech.
@UCantHandle23@FOX2News You literally said above, “All his supporters don’t have jobs and want the government to pay for their lives.” If you’re suffering early onset dementia you should really hope MfA gets implemented soon.
@UCantHandle23@FOX2News Interesting. Last week you all were discounting him because he outperformed Stevens among the higher educated and in suburbs like Grand Rapids, and said it was the less affluent Detroiters who knew not to trust him. Find a coherent script.
@invertedliz2@AbdulElSayed@MikeRogersForMI Sounds like you’ve identified an excellent reason for Rogers to agree to debate Abdul. I’m sure he’d want to share his intelligent and honest perspective with the general public! Please encourage him to debate!
@johnperry21 Thanks. I’ve been looking for a concise analysis of the broader context, historical and current, to share with well-meaning friends in the US. This covers it so well, including comparisons to how US would respond if such levels of interference (excepting Israel) took place there.
@joshischillin@briebriejoy I don’t know. In that recent interview with Jeremy Scahill on Drop Site News I couldn’t decide if he was spineless or truly lacked basic understanding of International Law. Not that AOC would have handled Scahill questions any better, I suppose.
@garypageau@bryan_cabler@briebriejoy@MalloryMcMorrow Why troll someone by calling them a “weirdo” when the majority of the country agrees with them, not you? Statistically, economically, you’re the outlier. It’s not the 1990s. If you want to troll effectively, go gaslight on an issue people are less familiar with now.
@garypageau@bryan_cabler@briebriejoy@MalloryMcMorrow If details so interest you, go check out AES’s book at your library. You do know he’s relentlessly asked this each time he goes on national TV? He’s always clear: increased payroll taxes are more than offset by cutting wasteful overhead, insurance paperwork, corporate profits.
@SolGrodman @jessb1836 Which part reeks to you? The fact that people wearing Jewish stars are flattening entire communities? Or that these mass crimes could endanger her community?
@garypageau@briebriejoy@MalloryMcMorrow You seem to think your “and yet” is a gotcha to what BJG just said about voter preferences vs monied interests in the Dem party. How?
