Doubly crazy because not only is Iran a war of choiceβ€”one that doesn't happen if the 2024 election goes the other wayβ€”but also the reason things got here is Trump chose to renege on the JCPOA in 2018.

This isn't the inevitable march of history. It's the election and foreign policy of one guy.

We elected a fanatic warmonger that installed a bunch of Nazis in key positions. What did you think was going to happen?

You people are insane. The U.S. government did it because it wanted to do it, not because Israel manipulated us to do it.
You are absolutely delusional and normalizing terrible views that could lead to terrible things.

It's pretty great being hard two-state solution because I can say Bibi should be tried in the Hague and not follow it up with claims that Jews are actually Europeans who have no ties to the region. I can also attack Hamas without claiming Palestinian is a made up ethnicity. It's easy!

It's actually super-easy to criticize Israel without being antisemitic. You just have to believe that Israel, like all the other states doing bad things, has a right to exist.

Alas, lots of people don't believe Israel, specifically, should exist. Because they're anti-semites.

look man, I get why you would vote for Platner in the primary, I would vote for him in the general, but this performative sneering is so fucking dumb. the guy is a Soviet military parade of red flags at this point, don’t insult people’s intelligence by acting like it’s incomprehensible why the worry

Something like 90% of people who talk about apartheid in Israel do not know who F. W. De Klerk was or how the ANC won, which makes a lot of their posting sometimes amusing and sometimes tiring.

Good example of the way anti-trans hate and antisemitism continue to be intertwined in American discourse. Once more subtly, now far more overtly.

I'd like to see some evidence that Dems are straying too far from their base of African American women honestly.

Can't help but think about the rumors about what Gallego has been consuming & the rumors about what Platner used to be dealing.

Bryan Betancur has been in and out of jail for stalking and threatening women. He was wearing an ankle monitor when he stormed the US Capitol on January 6, which he had been given after he broke into a Baltimore County elementary school.

Like, if your case is "the future of the Democratic Party rides on *this one exact guy from Maine*", 1) You just dropped AOC like Woody, and 2) The Democratic Party doesn't have a future.

The Tea Party rotted the GOP from the inside-out, destroyed any ability they had to govern effectively, and led directly to the last decade's worth of abject misery, suffering, and death.

You will not defeat that rot with *more* rot, and it's psychotic to believe that.
