@FlyinMackenzie @ColeSandick This is pure cope. There is no majority movement in the Democratic party to blame or throw trans under the bus. But when a few folks in the party want to focus less on Trans issues. They are attacked. Is identity politics bad or not? Can't have your cake and eat it too.
English
Between Mills, Crockett and Cuomo, the Dems are vastly underestimating how much normal voters hate liberal identity politics. We’re tired of being called racist and sexist for boilerplate takes like “politicians should talk about the economy” and “Israel shouldn’t bomb children.

@SireRottweiler Except they're being explicitly armed by the Israeli government. So that would make it the Israeli government's responsibility.
So either the Israeli government is murdering the sovereign citizens of another country, or they have an apartheid system. It's one or the other.
English
@FlyinMackenzie They’re committing a crime and invading another country, and should be punished for it. See how easy it is to condemn your own side. It’s called consistency. Try it.
Now, what is the PA doing paying the families of Palestinians who murdered Israeli’s?
English
Apartheid is implemented within a country to a population that resides within. You can’t apartheid another country, and securing borders isn’t apartheid.
Palestinians who are Israeli citiens are given the exact same rights and opportunities as everyone else.
Cameron Kasky@camkasky
Nobody who claims Israel is not an apartheid state can explain to you from a policy or logical perspective why it is not an apartheid state. The word just hurts their feelings.

@MshanBC @ColeSandick So this is why Cole made that comment, regardless of what the Dems might have done in the past. They were being blamed for Harris's 2024 electoral loss.
English
@FlyinMackenzie @ColeSandick LOL. So? Are Democrats throwing trans under the bus? because they're still passing laws to protect them. Why the fuck to you think the GOP spent so much focusing on it? I'm sorry to tell you this, but the trans issue is much more split in the US.

@sonsofthesoil90 "The genocide just had to happen. It was like a force of nature!"
English
Yeah the real problem here are the people who called out democrats for supporting a genocide, not the Democrats who supported the genocide.

Rachel Maddow loves a No Kings protest — but I can’t help but wonder if this would be necessary if her dumbass coworkers Chris Hayes, Joy Reid and Alex Wagner hadn’t spent a year blaming Biden Harris for Gaza 🤷♀️

@SireRottweiler So what are Israeli citizens doing murdering people and illegally building settlements in this supposed "other country"?
English
@FlyinMackenzie Yes, it’s called Palestine. Isn’t that what you want? An independent Palestinian state?
English
English
@FlyinMackenzie @ColeSandick No one is jettisoning anything. It's an absurd exaggeration. The Democratic party is the only party in the US that is passing laws protecting Trans. You can't blame others weaponizing identity politics, when you're doing the same shit. It just goes to show the utter hypocrisy.
English
I have to say that the ranked choice voting idea was pretty dumb. If this happens it’ll be an epic self own of CA Dems doing every wonky progressive policy idea big city liberals can think up.

"She should just accept that we view her as a commodity! That's what the bitch gets for sharing her art with a large audience!"
And it's *always* a she.

The amount of people who genuinely seem to believe that never being allowed any privacy ever again is a fair and reasonable trade-off for your art becoming widely popular is downright disturbing.

@JakeLandauTO I think what amazes me about Doug is just how out-of-date his grievances are. Both "the humanities are useless" and his Castle doctrine crap are relics of the early 2010s. Wouldn't surprise me if he started complaining about "woke".

@MshanBC @ColeSandick A completely consistent and correct tweet. Liberal idpol is cynically weaponized against the populist left, whereas the attempt to jettison trans issues was just as cynical and conducted by the same consultant class.

@Nikki2U @ColeSandick Platner's body art is a matter of civil rights?

@fourdaloww @ColeSandick And what social issues would those be? Genuflecting to Israel?

@ColeSandick Here we go with this shit again. No, white “progressive”. We aren’t going to stop talking about racism and social issues just because you don’t think theyre important.
Just go be a Republican already, for gods sake. You’re going to be one within the next 10 years anyways.
English
@ChiefTeef8 @ColeSandick It was obnoxious in 2016 and ten years on, it's just insufferable. Let's be real here, it's to cover the complete lack of any coherent plan or vision on the part of Mills. She doesn't know why the hell she's in the race, so she can't talk policy.
English
@ChiefTeef8 @ColeSandick No, this form of idpol concern trolling was only ever deployed against the left for daring to even mention a whiff of class politics. It's "how will breaking up the banks help racism?" horseshit meant to smear, distract and make "class solidarity" a 4 letter word.
English
@ColeSandick Lot of hit dogs hollaring in the comments here.
English
If your response to this is “but Platner’s comments are sooooo much worse,” that’s exactly my point! You spent so much time denigrating less polarizing figures over nothing that we just care anymore. You overplayed your hand. Those who Bernie impossibly make Platner inevitable.

Graham Platner is a complete and total disaster. Nominating a homophobic, antisemitic, racist bigot as our nominee would be an enormous mistake. He does not represent the Democratic Party at all.
