Max Blumenthal claims zero Democratic/progressive/DSA podcasters went against the party on genocide compared to Tucker Carlson, and praises his "principled stand" on Palestine and the Iran War.
He then claims AOC has been "very quiet" about the Iran War.

@Phil20187741 @clashreport LOL Biden did fuck all to repair relations with Iran after Trump sabotaged the greatest foreign policy achievement of the guy who made Biden a viable candidate.
English
@clashreport It’s your administration’s fault that the war lasted so long. You prioritized the survival of Hamas and the approval of Iran over the lives of Gazans.
English
Jake Sullivan on Gaza:
Too many innocent people died in Gaza as a result of Israel's military operations.
I woke up every morning and went to sleep every night thinking about what we could do to try to alleviate the suffering.
I have also said that genocide, from my perspective, requires actually an intent to do the destruction — and not to fight a terrorist foe while conducting operations in a way that killed too many civilians.
Should we or could we have done more? I ask myself that question every day.
And the answer must be yes, of course, because too many people died and suffered.
I think about what opportunity here or what chance there or what move there, and I play that back in my head.

@joetobomb @TheoCW @katewillett To the extent that her answer was coherent, it suggested that she’s onboard with the fantasy that the US can contain China in East Asia. Yes she’s gotten better on Gaza since the absolute embarrassment at the DNC, but I see little evidence that she’s ready for the presidency.
English
@TheoCW @katewillett Nothing “clear” about her support of imperialism and “style” doing a lot. She’s clearly against the genocide in Gaza and perhaps you have negatively polarized yourself.
English
I loved Bernie’s 2020 campaign but it couldn’t happen today.
If AOC runs in 2028 a lot of the left will have to openly make the case for healthcare + liberal imperialism. It’s going to get racist.
The “us” in “not me,us” will be spelled out, and it’ll hurt it isn’t all of us.

@PostLeftWatch The FBI probably likes the FBI informants on this list.

This is an incredibly awful list and I'm shocked Jimmy Dore and Max Blumenthal are not on it. These are their peers.

Briahna Joy Gray is promoting LaRouche Party member Jose Vega, who is running a primary campaign against Ritchie Torres.
English
@PostLeftWatch The Larouche association raises eyebrows, but what exactly is right-wing here? Are Torres or Blake better on any of these issues?

English
Ritchie Torres already has a primary challenger from his left, a person who's an actual Democrat and not a LaRouche shill. But Briahna Joy Gray would rather push the right-wing cultist.
English
@Doodelay @lobster_kai @TimothyS In the case of Russia/Ukraine this is true. Most of the world and its international institutions don’t recognize Taiwanese sovereignty.
English
@lobster_kai @TimothyS It shouldn't be unilateral, it is already against international law for Russia and China to seize these governments.
English
Incredible. Elements of the left love her but this is pure unadulterated cold war propaganda. She's a little imperialist.

@thomaschattwill @CathyYoung63 Clinton won because of Perot. Obama won because he said vaguely antiestablishment things and Bush had tanked the economy. Biden won because of widespread exhaustion with Trump and because the left was divided in the primary. None won on the popularity of centrist policies.
English
This makes no sense.
Bill Clinton won twice running as a centrist in 1992 and 1996
Barack Obama won twice as a centrist in 2008 and 2012
Joe Biden won—again, running if not governing—as a centrist in 2020.
How is centrism the problem?
@adammanross.bsky.social@adammanross
Al Gore lost in 2000 as a centrist. John Kerry lost in 2004 as a centrist. Hillary lost in 2016 as a centrist. Kamala lost 2024 as a centrist. If we’re going to win the 2026 midterms, we must abandon centrism all together. If the Democratic Party is to survive we must go left

@noam_dworman The Abraham Accords led to 10/7 to a far greater extent than unfreezing some assets and relaxing sanctions on a country that wasn’t directly involved 12 years earlier did.
English
It’s chilling that people of such influence can be this blatantly partisan, this dumb, or both.
Iran signed the JCPOA because it served Iran’s interests at the time. (It surely wasn’t trembling at the thought of Obama’s military option.)
Did the deal lead to 10/7 by giving Iran billions to fund its proxy network? Maybe.
But post-10/7, the world has reset. Iran has been exposed as a paper tiger and humiliated in the 12-Day War. It is terrified by the Abraham Accords, by the prospect of Saudi Arabia joining, and by a future of unstoppable Israeli bombing runs. The JCPOA would not have prevented any of this.
Iran's conclusion is obvious: go nuclear. Nothing else can restore its deterrence or rehabilitate its position in the region. If Saddam had gone nuclear, he would still be in Kuwait today.
The JCPOA is irrelevant to Iran’s position today. There is only one thing that might make Iran postpone a bomb: American military pressure. Period.
Rhodes either doesn’t see this, or pretends not to.
His half-assed TDS analysis is an embarrassment.
Ben Rhodes@brhodes
Iran Deal put a lid on the nuclear program. It's loudest opponents in Israel and US needed to kill it bc they needed Iran to have an active program to justify war.

@RichMiiii @KyleKulinski The problem is that no government has the authority to determine who the legitimate head of state of another country is, and that US warrants have no jurisdiction in another country’s territory.
English
@KyleKulinski He wasn’t a sovereign president though - plus we had a warrant. What’s the problem?
English
Bitch you defended kidnapping the leader of a sovereign nation, carpet bombing their capital and stealing their oil to my face.
Michael Knowles@michaeljknowles
Those who make violent threats must be prosecuted, and those who make light of last night’s attempted massacre need to lose their jobs and be ostracized from civilized society. You can’t have a marketplace of ideas or anything else when bandits keep shooting up the marketplace.

@JeremiahDJohns @CathyReisenwitz *The fact that access to a basic human need is tied to financial resources and employment status
English
partial list of pathologies that all contribute to high cost and worse overall performance:
* supply bottlenecks for providers
* incredibly high cost of labor
* explosion of administrative bloat
* Certificate of Need laws
* The entire 'non-profit' hospital deception
* Hospital chain consolidation/market power
* Opaque pricing/billing practices
* Overtreatment/overtesting
* Obese/unhealthy population
* the entire structural mess that is drug pricing
* Imbalance towards specialty care
* Deficiencies in rural healthcare
Insurance companies belong in that list too, but they're not the single unique villain that some people want them to be.
English
Insurance companies are sin-eaters for every other pathology in America's healthcare system.
There are a LOT of broken parts of the US healthcare system, and it's remarkable how much blame insurance gets relatively to literally anything else.

The more I hear from this guy the more I stand by my original assessment. The throughline of his entire oeuvre is glazing and stoking political violence. Which makes sense because he’s hostile to liberal democracy and the mutual toleration it encourages.

@jacobmessika @RaniaKhalek The UNGA has recognized Palestinian statehood for more than a decade. US obstruction is the only reason the Security Council hasn’t followed suit.

@RaniaKhalek Well he died and I am so sorry that he made you who you are today. Just like the fake state of Palestine.

My Dad just died. He was older than the state of “Israel.” And he fought until the very end.
He made me who I am. And I am writing this post to celebrate that.

@noam_dworman @WyqtwrY @mattyglesias Talk is cheap. What policies did he actually implement or even advocate for that would have made a two-state solution possible?
English
Wrong why? While he was Prime Minister, was there any indication from the Palestinians that they were interested? Did they make any moves that might have persuaded the Israeli public to move to the center?
What would you have done if YOU were Abbas and an interim Israeli Prime Minister was saying exactly what you are yearning to hear? Ignore him?
English
Kind of AMAZING that @mattyglesias and mostly everyone have forgotten that the Israeli Prime Minister made a UN speech calling for the 2-state solution in September of '22.
It was answered with rockets...
Nobody really cared.

@billiceberg @SequelScholar @Noahpinion We’ve spent half of that in just 6 weeks to lose an unnecessary war in Iran.

We spend a tiny amount on our military compared to social welfare. People who use this talking point just want America to be a defenseless, weak country. They care about foreign policy, not about the poor.
