The campaign did two stops with Liz Cheney, which they never mentioned beyond that, and leftists have spent the past year self-flagellating and pretending like the entire Kamala campaign was about Liz Cheney.
It's very dishonest. And very silly.
Wajahat Ali@WajahatAli
The past 2 weeks, the same Dems who forced Liz Cheney on us, refused to have a single Palestinian speaker at the DNC, and continue going on Bill Maher's show without ever once pushing back on his racism and Islamophobia, have been OBSESSED with Hasan Piker. They realize they no longer control the majority or the party. Curious if they will adapt or try to burn it all down. I predict the latter.

💢 An Iranian Shahed drone heading toward enemy targets today was seen bearing a sticker reading “In memory of Tupac Shakur” and “Killuminati,” referencing his 1996 album The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory.
The album’s opening track, “Bomb First (My Second Reply),” is about defiance, survival, and resistance to power — themes that closely mirror Iran’s wartime messaging.
Iranian forces and allied groups have increasingly incorporated global anti-establishment pop culture into their messaging and psychological warfare — in their viral LEGO videos and with references like this.
🎶 Lines from the track resonate with that framing:
“We didn’t even come to hurt nobody… but it’s my life or your life”
“Got nothin’ to lose, got nowhere to go”
“Ride for the cause… I’ll die for the cause”
“Plan, plot, strategize… and bomb first”

@drewcifer206 @Timodc We need more "leftists" like us to be more heavily involved in primaries. It's the only way to stop the takeover.
English
@Angela24801664 @Timodc Yup. They don't realize that leftists have always been in the coalition, holding their nose and voting for a person that doesn't quite fit their values because Republicans can't win. I'm gonna keep voting for them and they can't stop me, but they're definitely not winning us over

Hasan Piker would likely support Tim Miller’s murder on the grounds that he is gay man with children. And then support the murder of his children, as he supports the murder of mine for being Jews. Nice going, Tim. You’ve sold your soul. Enjoy the cash.
English
@drewcifer206 @Timodc Same. Not only vote, but volunteered and donated.
And now they're making it clear. They don't want us. They want George W Bush republicans. They are abolishing the democrat party.
English
@Timodc I'm a leftist who doesn't care about Hasan at all, but I listen to Tim a lot even though we disagree things. The thing I hate about this discourse is I have voted Dem in every election for twenty+ years. And I just feel like I'm being told to fuck off and not vote for them

“If people really are arguing that the price of winning is becoming like a bigoted misogynist like Hasan Piker, then I’ll take not winning,” Jonathan Cowan told @Lauren_V_Egan.
This seems like a bad message to me given the state of things.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Katz met with the soldiers (wearing masks) who sexually assaulted a Palestinian detainee, apologized to them for what he described as 'the psychological harm' by the military system and ordered their return to the army.

@waysandmeans71 @LZatYT Closer than her.
But democrats need to wake up tho this. George W Bush Republicans want to take over the democrat party. And our leaders are welcoming them with open arms.
English
It is absolutely baffling to me how Democrats will spend more time fighting the left then they will the right, in an era where the left is starting to pick up steam again. Like, don't they just want to win at some point?

"I could think of 1000 other things I would rather Democrats pick fights about now. Like, why him right now?" "Because he's making their life harder." @Timodc and @SarahLongwell25 spar over one of the biggest questions facing Democrats right now: what to do about Hasan Piker?
English
@joeburk18 @WalshFreedom Because he wants back in office. And his angle is a reformed Tea Party, Never Trump, Pro-Israel "moderate" democrat. He wants AIPAC backing.
Republicans are taking over the democrat party.
We'll have 2 parties. MAGA and George W Bush Republicans.
That's what is underway.
English
@WalshFreedom I am still not understanding the obsession with Israel. I'm not rage baiting. I sincerely dont get it. I've liked most of what Joe says, but I just dont understand why it's so important.

Ro, thankfully we’ve made progress on race since the 1930’s. Not so much on antisemitism. And btw, the better analogy here would be - would you or I, as Members of Congress, work with bigoted influencers like Nick Fuentes or Hasan Piker to advance legislation. I would not. Would you? And btw Ro, I’m not talking about cancelling anyone. I’ll speak with anyone who’s an honest broker. That’s actually what I do every day. But I am talking about condemning what people say & do when it’s warranted- condemning bigotry, antisemitism, & condemning people who express support for Hamas or Hezbollah. That all should be easy to condemn. I come from the right. A bigoted nationalism has overtaken the right. I engage with it every day and I condemn it every day. A bigoted, antisemitic, anti-Americanism is sprouting up on the left. Piker gives voice to this. It too must be engaged with and condemned every day. Correct? Have a nice weekend.
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna
Joe, historical question. Do you think FDR should have worked with Rep Rankin, a rank antisemite and racist, to set up the Tennessee Valley Authority? We should take firm positions on principle and condemn specific statements we disagree with. But in a messy democracy must engage broadly. I would also argue that we can approach our fellow citizens with less judgment at a time of deep polarization.

This is absolutely not one of the biggest questions facing Democrats right now.

Very cool very normal that now that America is directly involved in an active war that has American troops involved, with one being shot down over Iran, all of the people that endlessly complained about forever wars under Democrats are suspiciously silent.
English
@SarahIronside6 Perhaps we should focus on kicking out people who support and send our money to war criminals out of the tent before getting up in arms about a streamer.
English
So the far left wants a “big tent” for a racist, misogynistic antisemite who defends rape but lost their shit when Kamala Harris had a couple of events with Liz Cheney during her campaign. These people are nothing more than chaos agents who want Dems to lose.
English
And you keep wondering why I found it fishy that the left wanted Mills to drop out…. They knew more was coming down the pike and that Maine polls are notoriously bad.

@SarahLongwell25 @hissgoescobra And I don't know how you square the circle of condemning the human right violations of China while turning your eyes away from Israel.
English
@SarahLongwell25 Piker’s anti-Ukraine, pro-CCP stuff is a primary concern few address. It’d be good to have analysis or dialogue on that in this discussion.
English
@SarahLongwell25 @hissgoescobra You can be against the violations of human rights in China and also acknowledge that the economy they have built in the last 30yrs is astounding. And yes, we could learn some things from them.
I highly recommend this interview.

@Timodc @SarahLongwell25 It ends her with recommending democrats campaign on "Trump didn't fill out the paperwork" for this war.
It's so weak and democrat political advisers like her are part of the problem.

I thought everything I said was obviously correct but apparently not because @SarahLongwell25 dissents and she's very smart! Here's another 30 minutes on the BIG TENT topic du jour. (i think i'm still right)

The defenses of keeping Piker in the “big tent“ are remarkably similar to the arguments on the right about keeping Nick Fuentes in that “big tent“
