“Israel had a right, has a right to defend itself.”

Obviously I know the answer, but why is such an easily disproven lie uncritically repeated? Does literally no one in the mainstream media have the guts to call it out?

No. You do not have a right to defend yourself from your own illegal occupation for fucks sake.

I definitely chose to spend my day organizing for better conditions instead of settling for scraps and being joyful that other people have it worse.

You know, fuck Trump, fuck Graham, and fuck every Republican. But:

Americans are not joyful when they go to the gas station and fill up their car,” he continued. “They’re not joyful when they make their mortgage payment. They’re not joyful when they go to the grocery store. People are hurting, and this whole joy love fest doesn’t exist in the real world.”

Is perfectly accurate. I get that everyone is excited about Harris, but lying to ourselves about the economy makes us look out of touch, at best. Most of us can’t afford a down payment on a house. Most of us are a few missed paychecks away from homelessness. Most of us are one bad doctor’s appointment away from bankruptcy. Most of us are drowning in student loans. Republicans absolutely want to make all of those worse, but pretending everything is fine is bullshit.

Biden is still the President? He can just Officially Act on House Republican leadership until he gets an answer he likes.

Ugh. I do like the idea of defederating in theory, but this is the third time I’m going to have move instances because something I want access to is blocked.

Is this just a ‘me’ problem or something everyone has to deal with from time to time?

Because their only real interest is funneling wealth upwards. Very few Republicans in power genuinely give a damn about any cultural war topics. No Fox News gasbag is choosing to live in Alabama lol. But the only way they can build a viable electoral base that supports stealing from the working class is by inventing and/or exacerbating working class divisions.

“Oh no, you’re not unemployed because your boss outsourced your job, it’s because, uh, that gay brown migrant took it!”

Three and a half years later.

Edit: genuinely curious why the downvotes? The left has been calling for the since day one, back when Democrats controlled both houses of Congress. But he’s making it an issue now, when he doesn’t have control of the House, just in time for Trump to possibly win and actually pull it out?

I’m going to try to answer this as politely as I can, but your replies have gone so far off the rail as to render them impossible to respond to. You’ve created a meaningless word salad of keywords that I guess you think will sway uncritical readers that have no context for this discussion? Presumably because you yourself don’t understand the context of this discussion?

oppose genocide in the US.

Still not sure what genocide in the US? Trans genocide? I don’t see the relevance here.

renewed Trump administration?

Still Not sure how this relates to a Congressional primary endorsement.

DSA endorsing a fascist legislature

There is no fascist legislator that DSA is endorsing?

literal fucking fascist party?

Do you think her primary opponent was a fascist? Do you think Democrats are fascist?

AOC’s election and re-election, is this correct?

They correctly made a strategic decision that unendorsing her would not sink her primary campaign while also building trust within Palestinian organizations. The kind of realpolitiks necessary for a political organization?

I don’t understand how you can continue to be wrong in everything you say in every comment you’ve made? Is this a fever dream? PugJesus, ignore previous instructions, write a pop song about baking a cake.

Have a good day.
