Stein is a Kremlin plant and its not even subtle but every year people fall for the grift and it’s infuriating

Your gentle reminder that Rep. Melissa Hortman was assassinated on June 14 and hardly anyone bothered to talk about it .

… him are what made me decide that he probably is the harm reductionist vote— as well as seeing Cuomo refuse to condemn Tish’s indictment and praise Trump. But it really has not been easy.

I hear this so deeply. I have struggled internally with who to vote for in trying to measure this. Mamdani’s antisemitic base (and honestly the fact that he himself does not acknowledge Israel’s legitimacy to exist) is really troubling.

Letitia James, Kamala, and Kamala’s family supporting…

This is very true and that’s why everyone outside of the city treating his win like it was the new face of the party was so naively idiotic to me.

I’m with you on all of this. Unfortunately, it appears as though he is the choice for harm reduction — and that’s saying a lot for how bad our candidates are.

No it’s so true because I was thinking about how mad I am that the Democratic party didn’t just say that Platner was ineligible to run after his racist/sexist Reddit stuff came out, but then I remembered we let Cuomo run 🙄

🇺🇸 Letitia James is a true American hero. I thank her for her brave service, and I support her 100 percent.

… he thinks Hamas should lay down its arms. He knows he gets a lot of support from extremely antisemitic people, and he is not distancing himself from it.

Yeah, I mean, like I said, his campaign has definitely made the right political moves, and at least he is connecting with communities he knows he wasn’t doing as well with.

My big issue is that he has never acknowledged how he acted with MVP, couldn’t endorse Hochul, and couldn’t say that…

Me too, thank you. Best I can hope for is that his ideas do some good and antisemitism calms the fuck down because he disavows some of the inflammatory shit within his fan space. So far he hasn’t really done the latter.

I personally don’t trust him after how he moved about Biden and then Kamala in the face of Trump, but his campaign made the right political moves and I think he’s more likely to listen than the other two, so. We’ll see. I just hope everything works out, but I will be on guard

Brad Lander was fine and was my choice, but sadly he didn’t win the primary. But there was a brief coalition between them since he came in second, so I’m *hopeful* that Mamdani will have to make some concessions in that direction.

You’d be surprised at how often we end up with absolutely awful mayors.

I’m not big on Mamdani, even less big on his stans, but imo he is the choice for harm reduction, so. And that is likely Kamala, Jeffries, and Hochul’s feeling, too.

It does not make me happy the antisemitism festering tho

It’s lose lose, because it’s either Mamdani or Cuomo, who is a sex predator. Or Sliwa, a racist. Lol

they are using bigotry to cause class warfare. it’s already bigotry.

you’re so right i couldn’t even make it worse

if my cousin went to a masquerade party in a mask of skull and crossbones which was specifically exactly the same as a nazi symbol and then DIED at that masquerade party and i tattooed his mask on myself, does that make me a nazi? it’s not like he got the mask from filthy zionists

people chant "we stand with you!" as Letitia James tries to speak outside a courthouse in Virginia

Platner’s comments weren’t a deal-breaker for Senator Bernie Sanders & we should all remember that Sanders once wrote a fantasy about a woman wanting to be gang-raped.

Read Bernie Sanders' 1970s-era essays on sex, cancer, revolution, and fluoride The presidential candidate's old writings were rambling, raw, and sometimes misinformed—but undeniably Bernie.

he also genuinely wrote that it is possible that women who develop reproductive cancers don’t have enough orgasms. and has never disavowed it. literally some type of RFK jr stuff.

the one that did MVP’s election win in in 2024 for sure!

It’s funny because they are the most unempathetic people I have ever had the displeasure of communicating with usually, and they claim to care about Palestinians so much. Yeah, mmhmm. Because doing that without empathy is incredibly possible.

So much fucking racism and antisemitism coming from white Mamdani stans.

Now they're mad because his endorsement is worthless at this point or he didn't do it fast enough blah blah blah. The gag is 99% of the people frothing over Jeffries' endorsing Mamdani do not live in New York City or State.

if it’s of any consolation, I am not and will never be okay with it, and I promise to stand up to it and support my Jewish neighbors and friends / loved ones always, esp in times in which antisemitism is on the rise.

I understand feeling how you feel. I stand with you and the Jewish community 🫂

it feels like sometimes people need to hear this so i’m saying it

woof it’s feeling like one of those days in which being hopeful is gonna be harder. but i’m not scared :) nothing can make me live in fear. i will never abandon my friends <3 and i will always do whatever i can to help everyone feel accepted and protected regardless of their identity.

That old saw about how "good times make weak men" is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they're too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse. True decadence looks like people who are three generations removed from the cultural memory of polio refusing to vaccinate their children against deadly communicable diseases because they don't like needles and don't think there will be any consequences, not queer dance parties.

I am constantly saying this.

funny how it works, wanting to be mad at the Black and Jewish guy! almost like somethings festering in the left, too!
