Mr Odo

@luzzileen @TheOmniLiberal Zohran is not in any of the categories of people discussed. You might have confused "far left media person" with socdem politician

@TheOmniLiberal Zohran didn't do any hostile interviews?? Telarico hasn't done any hostile interviews???

Center-left people are basically the only demographic of people expected to go and do "hostile" interviews. Trump did basically NONE on his path to the presidency in 2024, NONE of the MAGA or far-left media people venture into hostile territory for interviews, and any time they can interview one of their own, they wind up doing free PR for whoever it is they're interviewing.

@AndyKatz_ @TheOmniLiberal @WhickTv The fact the she can actually work with Pelosi and Schumer shows you how far from Hamas Piker she is

@TheOmniLiberal @WhickTv @TheOmniLiberal AOC is nowhere near center left. She’s a mask on Dem Soc who is more aligned with Hasan Piker than she is Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi.

@nyaraVT @ShaoIRL @TheOmniLiberal "he's right wing because I don't like his take on my personal pet political issue" Most politically literate anime profile pic user

@ShaoIRL @TheOmniLiberal I’m a literal nobody and an anime fox girl.. I don’t matter and there is nothing to gain from this. My main problem is his Brianna Wu ass transmed stance and transphobia, especially when it comes to non binary people.. but I think right now we have bigger problems

"Let's talk about social issues" >proceeds to name literally the most divisive and least popular social issues Okay, I'll bite. The first opinion you give on my trans position as being something "just cosmetic" is probably the dumbest criticism I've ever heard of my trans positions before, especially considering that many would consider me a "transmedicalist" (I believe you need to experience gender dysphoria in order to be a transperson). I'm not sure where you've gotten the idea that I think it's "only cosmetic" unless you're referring to my position on neopronouns (stupid) or nonbinary identities (almost certainly 100% a cosmetic thing). I have no clue what you mean by "included in society", and I constantly and consistently support therapeutic (therapy, hormones) interventions for trans people of all ages (especially MtF). I do not believe trans people should be competing in NCAA sports or beyond with cisgender people, though. If you're going to characterize that position as "leans right" simply because I don't occupy the most extreme position possible on trans people, you have absolutely lost the plot, considering my current trans positions put me to the left of probably 90% of Americans and 99% of the world. I don't like the IDF/Zionist talking points because, honestly, none of you really know anything about the region, the peoples or the conflict. My current position on Israel probably still puts me slightly to the left of most Americans (I think both sides need to be willing to grant some major concessions to advance a meaningful peace agreement, and I think America needs to exercise much more stringent control on Israel if we are going to support them financially or militarily). I have no clue what sexual misconduct accusations have to do with political positions. "Constant usage of slurs" like retarded? That makes me "lean right" as well? Then you bring up UBI (unpopular), healthcare (idk what that means, am I supposed to be anti-healthcare???) and affordable housing (am I against affordable housing???). None of these sound like they're coming from a person with a meaningful engagement with politics, they are hollow virtue signals for you to advertise on Twitter for donations/crowd approval. Here are more meaningful stances I make on issues more broadly agreed upon to have a "left/right" distinction that don't collapse into the most divisive, niche issues in the country: - I think climate change most likely represents an existential crisis to mankind and we should be aggressively pursuing investment into green energy. - I think the only meaningful way to deal with illegal immigrants in this country is to enact a large path-to-amnesty program for everyone in this country. - I am staunchly pro-abortion. - I think there should be greater redistributive wealth policies from the government, e.g. higher marginal tax rates on the top few brackets, higher long term capital gains rate. - Broadly supportive of LGBT stuff, meaning gay marriage, treatment for trans youth, etc... - I think we should push for at least a public option in the United States, or some kind of expanded Medicare that covers every one in this country regardless of their ability to pay. If you want to say I "lean right" on something, it would probably be related to gun control (I think Democrats hyper-fixate on rifles and gun restrictions that will do nothing) or foreign policy (I do think the United States should have an active role in the rest of the world), maybe. But trans issues and Israel? Definitely not.

@nyaraVT @TheOmniLiberal How is transmedicalism rooted in transphobia? If qualifier for what it means to be Trans is just "self-identified" isn't it a category almost without value? Is having any sort of checkmark beyond self identification right wing?

I mainly see you complain about Leftists and purity testing. Your transmed position isn’t great and is rooted in transphobia. Your biggest complain with Fuentes was that he dropped you. The US dems are overall more right leaning than political parties in the EU, which makes sense considering it’s a two party system that benefits the elite and mega corpos, creating a capitalistic hellhole that makes systemic and class issues worse. It also doesn’t leave much room for nuance because they can always be like “well.. at least we aren’t as bad as those more extreme”, shifting everything to the Right, while patting themselves on the back. When it comes to your stance on the military, gun control etc you are definitely more right leaning, I’d say. I think the major reason why I’d concede to calling you more center-left is because the Right has gotten so incredibly Far Right over the past years. Basic empathy is seen as “woke” and “radical lunatic leftist.” I feel like you just enjoy debating and profit off the status quo and social hierarchy that capitalism is clinging on to, portraying yourself as “the opposition” and “average voter” compared to the rightoids you typically debate.. which is fine.. but as a trans woman, it does make me more skeptical of your own personal position, so I’m glad you clarified some of your stances. I don’t think it’s a good position.. I honestly believe if you go back a couple of years ago it would also be a more right wing position, but because of the rise in transphobia, racism, etc and the shift in the political landscape, you get away with framing it as left leaning.

@gribbo586 @mattyglesias @jonfavs @RebeccaKKatz @ezraklein Which blue dog Dems could have been replaced with further left Democrats? Progressivism isn't even that popular today, let alone 2009. Progressives only win in the safest blue seats, they're never contesting someone like Manchin

@mattyglesias @jonfavs @RebeccaKKatz @ezraklein Dems need a bigger tent right now but I think the 2009 Congress was a cautionary tale of making it too big. Dems could’ve had a better healthcare bill but the blue dogs killed the public option. It was better than a GOP majority but they Dems could’ve accomplished so much more

This, from @ezraklein, is so well said:

@jonfavs @ezraklein No one's saying you can't talk to Hasan. Just that he should be platformed like an illiberal person. Your talk with Hasan involved you coaching him through questions as you asked them, and you never asked any difficulties questions.

@psycho_pomped_ @TheOmniLiberal You know you could Google for yourself "impact on private investment on housing costs" "economic growth United States"

@TheOmniLiberal okay please give us a breakdown on how he’s wrong, because this is an objectively popular position. actually explain your position. At this point, your worldview just seems like whatever the opposite of hasans with a sprinkle of “trump bad”.

swapping one set of braindead answers for another; this is all American politics has become zzz

@TheOmniLiberal Destiny this fight is pointless if Cohen isn't willing to defend chorus

So they paid you for nothing??? What was the money for?

@Recharizard @Prsek_ How did a Democrat president last seek to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power. Either you know, and you're knowingly misrepresenting her or you don't. And then you're a hack fraud

@Prsek_ Anything to say about this context or just going to do what you accuse him of?

anyone notice how every time a tankie calls any tankie streamer's direct quote "out of context" they can somehow only ever add justification for why the the direct quote is correct in their eyes? instead adding any context that meaningfully changes the quote whatsoever?🤨

@Di49721Dirk @MrDock77 @TheOmniLiberal @krystalball The heads on Mount Rushmore aren't actually a figurehead symbol of an ongoing conflict the way the western wall is.

@MrDock77 @TheOmniLiberal @krystalball Ok, without googling it or having gone through K-12 in the USA, I guarantee that 99% of US citizens don't know who's heads are on Mount Rushmore. Does that disqualify them to have an opinion on domestic politics?

Can @krystalball or anyone please explain how "one of the most effective critics of that genocide" who's been covering Israel/Palestine for over a decade doesn't know what the Western Wall is? Does he know anything about al Aqsa???

@thejordanhart @jessesingal He's subversive in the same way a right wing comedian making trans jokes is. It's completely safe and you have a dedicated group of people who will celebrate you.

@jessesingal Streamers are basically shock jocks. It's his job to be subversive, I don't get what's so hard about that to grasp

I just think he's like... a bad guy? It doesn't surprise me that he's popular but he comes across as cruel, vindictive, himbo idiot who would have trouble carrying on a remotely complex conversation. So he's basically a perfect c2026 "political" "commentator."

@TheMadMystic1 @TheOmniLiberal Kamala lost because of inflation. You know the reason that like every incumbent lost in '24. This delusional take that Kamala, barely, lost because she wasn't progressive enough is delulu. If I'm wrong go run progressives in red seats

@TheOmniLiberal Why did you have to turn out to be such a disappointment? The democratic establishment is half the reason we are in this mess. Kamala lost because she kept trying to appeal to "moderates". If genocide isn't the line you refuse to cross, neither is democracy.

Don't worry, we already knew that. Socialists/commies will never support anyone who's electable. This is why it's better to turn out your base and appeal to the moderate elements of your base (something most Dem voters prefer anyway) rather than the fringe, weirdo margins who only support candidates with no chance of winning elections.

@Morpheus698710 @TheOmniLiberal You understand then the claim isn't that it's out of context that Hasan says that America deserved 9/11. "Out of context" implies that a snippet or manipulation is being used to misrepresent his views.

@TheOmniLiberal This is literally true. Every action has its consequences. Just because we are the premier media and we have Hollywood doesn’t mean the lives of those in Middle East is worth less than us. We incessantly killed millions of middle easterns, why the hell did we do that?

This is how it ALWAYS goes when you push for context on Hasan quotes btw. It's not them saying that the quote was taken out of context, it's just them justifying the statement lol.

@puncushion @CJohnStella @Annie_Wu_22 Everywhere Kamala visited with Liz, she performed better than not. The whole point of Liz wasn't that we were ideologically aligned, but that she recognized the threat Trump was. Unlike leftists and people in Michigan

@CJohnStella @Annie_Wu_22 Kamala Harris spent all that time with Liz Cheney just to get one vote?

if it wasn’t already abundantly clear, for many dem political elites, its only “Big Tent Party” when the tent is expanding to the right

@AnthonyGremo @DingusTheMingus @AOC @Coste1Costello @AnaKasparian Why would you vote yes to an amendment to a bill that you don't intend to support?

@DingusTheMingus @AOC @Coste1Costello @AnaKasparian Yes and she should have voted yes to the amendment dipshit. We should not be funding another nations fucking defense.

Today, the FBI and NYPD disrupted a plot by a member of a pro-Israel terrorist organization to assassinate Nerdeen Kiswani. This is a reprehensible act of political violence. There is no place for it in our city nor our country. I am thankful Ms. Kiswani is safe and the assailant is under arrest.

@hasanthehun @wideofthepost Bro is in the trenches malding Unc coded

think about how obsessive someone has to be to chop up a video of me getting upset at an anti immigrant reactionary first gen trump supporter in the 2020 election just to reduce it down to me “yelling at a korean lady racist style” - they invent an image of me in their minds to get mad at!!!!!

why did you crop this part out too? this stream was from three days before the 2020 election. you should really watch this to see why he’s so heated.

@wideofthepost Context: he shits on Democrats more Hmmm this context isn't really changing the idea that he's a deranged psycho that shouldn't be in the dem coalition

@redsmallfry @Biden19xt @TheOmniLiberal @pxielovee Wait have they made their witness available for deposition yet? Kinda wild if they haven't with a trial date so soon

@Biden19xt @TheOmniLiberal @pxielovee Any sources on the 'pointless paperwork' or 'last minute' filings? How is her attempt to beat summary judgement and make it to the trial date set last year congruent with the idea she is 'telling her lawyer to keep pushing delays'?

Looking forward to the trial date so much! Really wish @pxielovee would stop telling her lawyer to keep pushing delays. :(

@houdini73 @TheOmniLiberal He has changed his position, doesn't mean that the position of "we have to hen peck every candidate to repeat our exact position on I/P" Even in the Newsom situation he called out the same issues in Gaza. But because he thinks Israel can still exist, they attack him

@TheOmniLiberal not understanding why you continue to hold a position you developed at a time when you admittedly knew little about the background. As you become more informed and facts on the ground change, can you see why an Israeli gov't that moves any further to the right is dangerous?

No, it would be "Team Collapsing Every Single Electoral Issue Across the Entire Country and in Every Office to my Absolutist Position on Israel/Palestine"

@Silurker @n1ghtkitten @ProgressiveVic @hasanthehun Vds is when a groomer who still looks at lolicon is worth side eyeing
