@BigHeadMafia @btharris93 Umm, no that’s not it. The people annoyed by these are Trump fans, so obviously they aren’t bothered by unearned wealth. It’s because these are women who seem to be enjoying themselves, and that in itself bothers certain kinds of men.

@btharris93 They all probably make 8k+ a month for nothing. That’s why.

Can someone please explain why this video in particular riles the Online Right so much?

@davidsirota Your bullshit is the thing that doesn't work anymore. You wanted Trump to win, you helped him win, and now you're cheering for his policies. You can stop pretending, we all know....

Here's the thing: This bullshit doesn't work anymore. Liberals have gotten used to writing the voices of unions & workers out of their discourse. I am deeply skeptical of Trump's tariffs, but I also think it's important to at least engage with and explore what unions are saying. That's not "endorsing liberation day." That's being genuinely curious about and interested in what working-class voices are actually saying. Many liberals simply do not think that's important. I worked on Capitol Hill 25 years ago when these kinds of liberals touted the free trade policies that absolutely destroyed America's working class. They are simply uninterested in hearing what workers have to say - which is why so much of the working class has abandoned the Democratic Party. Maybe it's time for liberals to try something different - try at least listening to people rather than shitting on them and then being mad when they vote against you.

@SeanTrende This is amazingly stupid. Both the incoming president and the richest person in the world are right wing loons.

There are horrific loons on the right and left. There might even be more on the right. What's unique about the left's loons is that they often occupy actual positions of authority and influence, rather than screeching into Twitter from their mom's basement.

@BTnewsroom @RaniaKhalek It is your problem if you care about Palestinians. Or if you care about anything really.

"If Trump gets elected that's not our problem — that's solely the Democrats' problem." BT's @RaniaKhalek asks Arab American voters in Michigan to respond to those who say a vote for anti-genocide third-party candidates is a vote for Trump WATCH: youtu.be/-Q3hs_677rQ

@NickKnudsenUS This is what makes Jill Stein and the podcasters that are part of the Green Party grift so insidious. Most Green voters are young and naive and will soon regret their vote. But Stein knows better, and she knows she’s taking advantage of naïveté for her personal benefit

I have a confession and a plea to folks who are flirting with voting Jill Stein. When I was a 20 year old college student in 2000, I voted for Ralph Nader instead of Al Gore. I loved the progressive message Nader offered, and Bush and Gore seemed kinda the same to someone who was paying peripheral attention. I've regretted that vote for my entire adult life. Ultimately, George Bush won by a margin of 500+ votes in the state of Florida over Gore. And that was the ballgame. Ralph Nader peeled 97,000+ votes away from Gore. If only 600 of those 90,000 had voted for the major party candidate that more aligned with their values, things would have been very different. When I was in my senior year of college, 9/11 happened. The country and western world rallied around Bush's resolute response to the traumatizing terror attacks. I was in NY at the time, and it was a terrifying moment for the nation. But the consequences of Bush being in office at that moment were immense. Bush's disdain for his dad's nemesis, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, led him to invent a rationale to invade a country that literally had nothing to do with 9/11. End result? He killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people, thousands of American troops, and spent over a trillion dollars of taxpayer money in the process. Beyond the completely immoral and indefensible Iraq War, Bush was a complete disaster as a president. His "No Child Left Behind" effort turned public schools into standardized testing centers. He tripled down on fossil fuels and ignored climate change. His tax cuts for the rich helped contribute to the 2008 economic downturn that led to the Great Recession. He was a terrible president. In an alternate reality, Al Gore would have been president in 2001 when terrorists attacked America. Would he have gone into Iraq? Absolutely not. Would he have ignored global warming? 100% no! Gore was perhaps the preeminent proponent of fighting climate change at that time. Would he have passed massive tax cuts for the wealthy? No way. This is a sliding doors scenario. What would have happened? We can't be sure. But one thing is for sure: those votes for Ralph Nader (in Florida in particular) were EXCEPTIONALLY consequential for the lives of millions around the world. Gore would have offered a more forward-facing, environmentally conscious & peaceful presidency that wasn't so rooted in grievance and privilege. My point is: Either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump will win the election. That is a fact. You might feel the need to submit a "protest vote" as I did in 2000. Just be ready to wear it when Donald Trump wins, strips away reproductive rights from all Americans, implements an economy-destroying tariff, dismantles the entire federal government, eliminates the Department of Education, prosecutes his perceived enemies, and devolves America into chaos. There are no perfect choices. But rest assured, there are only two. Trust me - I've been wearing my vote for a quarter century.

@briebriejoy Lol. You'd think with all the experts on electoral strategy supporting the Green Party they'd manage to get more than 1% of the vote.

The pundit is wrong: this was not a “no win” situation for Harris. Polls showed a plus 30 advantage for Harris in three swing states if she backed an arms embargo. She CHOSE today pursue a genocide instead. To vote for Kamala anyway is to give Dems a mandate for genocide.

@IbaraEleven Harris is actually running for president, whereas the Green Party is running to help Trump win, so yeah, further evidence that they are grifting GOP tools is always welcome.

Isn’t it incredible how liberals easily catch wind of a dubious statement from the green party VP with no major platform but they seem to always miss it when Harris makes a right wing statement on the national stage

@Lauren_Steiner The left being divided isn’t some new thing. The People’s front of Judea sketch has been accurate the entire time I’ve been alive.

This is a very good article on a very important subject. It seems to confirm my mantra that identity politics has divided the left and possibly rendered it impotent. I want to organize a virtual book club meeting on the book he's writing about.

@ZeynabDay The real disqualification is that Stein/Ware are Republican tools enriching themselves and some podcasters with GOP money to help Trump win. The fact that Butch Ware is personally a piece of shit (as is Stein if you look into it) just adds to it.

Kamala supporters who say Butch Ware's comments are "disqualifying," BUT are STILL willing to back Harris, despite her complicity in mass atrocities is staggering. I respect Butch's comments being a redline. But this hypocrisy is off the charts. And, dehumanizing.

@FerrazzanoJay Lol. This kind of genius political thinking explains why pro-Palestinian activists have been so successful supporting their cause!

Harris is more dangerous than Trump because she makes genocide acceptable to liberals. There, I said it.

@GuntherEagleman Kinda funny on this website you can just make up whatever and people believe you

BREAKING: Daniel Penny is INNOCENT! The man he had in a chokehold had a PULSE after the police arrived. They took over 10 minutes to get on scene and determined there was a pulse.

@daviddoel A lot of them will grow up and regret their votes, like Nader and Stein 16 people have. The insidious people are the adults who keep it all up for grift: Green candidates and also the social media and podcast people. It costs them nothing if Trump wins, they just want clicks.

Can’t believe I’m still seeing people argue that Harris losing would ‘teach Dems a lesson’ and pull them left. After Hillary lost they blamed the left, the party nominated Joe Biden, and now they’re forced to refight for the basics like voting, EPA protections, & abortion rights

@guychristensen_ If pro-Palestinian activists weren’t as stupid as this, perhaps we wouldnt even have genocide in the first place.

If you stand against genocide: The worst thing you could do right now is reward the Democratic party by voting for Kamala. You will be rewarding Zionism and teaching Democrats that that they can commit a genocide and you won’t lift a finger to stop them. #VoteJillStein

@aashisjo lol why do so many conservatives and Trumpers pretend they aren’t Trumpers? Like, there’s always some twisted logic and excuses, they don’t really want to vote Trump but… You like Trump! You want him to be president! Everyone knows, the pretzel logic isn’t fooling anyone!

If Kamala Harris wins this election it will set a dangerous precedent because the Democratic Party & the ruling class of the US & the West will know that they can get away with the most evil atrocities by always dangling the threat of a “greater evil”. 1/

@benigma2017 Selfishness and indifference to the suffering of others are the heart of the Green Party. Sure, your vote will cause more people to die, but that’s ok because you want to “define yourself.”

My vote wont swing this election one way or the other. No one person has that sort of power. But voting in favor of genocide will define who I am for the rest of my life. And that I can control.

@EndWokeness Yes, Trumpers, you should totally go to war with Taylor Swift and LeBron and Jennifer Aniston and Julia Roberts and the entire Avengers cast. Keep doing this.

LeBron, who never made it past the 1st page of a single book, endorsed Harris

@sunraysunray Oh please, it would expand abortion in Alabama and other states where it is banned entirely, but outside of Gilead it would restrict access. Also she’s right that he’s adopting Trumps policies, because Trump has come out in favor of this same kind of thing.

I’m no fan of the Green Party or their role this election, but the engagement this disinformation is getting is nuts. The legislation he’s describing would expand abortion access in many places… by this logic restoring Roe nationwide would be a “national abortion ban.”

@benigma2017 lol. Except that the Green Party really really sucks at getting people to want to join them. They’re not even trying to win, they even admit it, their only goal is for Trump to win. And “vote for us to help Trump win” is a horrible campaign message outside the horseshoe left.

Them: your vote for the Green Party is wasted because there aren’t enough of you. Me: there would be if people like you joined us.

@drones_for_sale @BenSpielberg Again with the name calling lol. You claim you want the war in Gaza to end. Your strategy? Some performative protests, name calling, and then don’t vote. That’s an amazingly dumb and ineffective strategy. The left has been trying that for decades and accomplished nothing.

I live in one of the most ostensibly liberal places in the US and there is not a single anti-genocide Democrat at either the state or federal level on my ballot. What a disgrace of a political party.

@BeetlesDeath @melliferus @BenSpielberg 🤣
