I won’t address the obviously false implication that Trump was meaningfully worse on Gaza than Harris (for all his faults Trump did get a ceasefire), but also almost nobody actually made that calculation. People don’t vote for people whose guts they hate, and the genocide gave one more reason for people to hate Harris’s guts.

I’m not aware of Bernie ever saying to get rid of the Democrats and found a new party, or even trying to challenge party authority really. He’s always been a “vote in the primary, vote Democrat and hope for the best” kind of guy.

It’s probably simpler than that: anti-Zionism is very common in Italy and this is a cheap way for Meloni to get popular support.

If fucking everyone had listen to Bernie in 2015

What did Bernie say in 2015?

I consider anyone who supports these things to be an evil asshole who shouldn’t be allowed within ten miles of authority. That does include most LPC MPs and especially Carney, yes. Why do you ask?

Nothing to say about the political violence that wouldn’t be, well, political, so instead I’ll ask: What the hell is up with your username?

I mean, the CPC in general for scapegoating immigrants, supporting Israel, ignoring climate change and anti-worker pro-rich policies? It’s basic conservative stuff, and it pretty much universally makes the non-1% world a worse place to live.

Even if we disagree with the stance of the opposition, we should want them to be at minimum, logical, representative of the principles of the people who cast votes for them, and an effective check on the government.

Being competent is only good when one is not evil (which rightwing politicians are almost by definition). Also there’s no relation between being competent and representing the people who voted for them, and only acting as a check on the government when it tries to do something good is worse than not doing so at all. An effective opposition not acting in the interest of the people just becomes a ratchet holding back progress.

I’m not sure if it 100% counts, but probably this. It’s the kind of religious wish fulfillment I usually can’t tolerate, but the rhythm is too good. It’s in my playlist, but I absolutely wouldn’t listen to it in front of anyone who can understand the lyrics.

This doesn’t even make sense as pedantry because the “that” in their comment wouldn’t make sense unless it was the latter.

The course of Israeli history was essentially unaffected by Holocaust survivors, so his only mistake relevant here was not dying sooner.

But on the other hand the petrodollar dies, which isn’t exactly good for US global influence.

The antisemites will be our allies

-Theodor Herzl (paraphrased because I can’t be assed to get the original quote).

No one is sympathetic to their plight anymore as they have clearly become the aggressor beyond a doubt.

They always have been; it just took a livestreamed genocide for Westerners to get the point.

Relevant.

(This is a song about not taking drugs, but it’s framed as a drug bragging about being really bad).

Oh shit you’re right. I guess technically the CCP does have anti-air capabilities while China the country does not. This also means the PLA is the world’s largest leftwing militia.

Okay this is a cope. It’s an All Lives Matter-style fig leaf that pretends people can’t condemn two things at once.

Why disappointment? Jeffries is an American capital plant; this is very consistent with his track record.

The CCP, being a political party, does not in fact have anti-air capabilities. The country they run, China, has anti-air capabilities.

Sure that’s a fair point, but then we’d expect other polls to produce similar results. It’s not like we have to take their word for it.
