@ShibleyTelhami The way Van Hollen presumes the Governorship of his Israel Mandate.
Fuck him.

Actually, Van Hollen specifically says: "Democrats should pursue a last-gasp effort to salvage a two-state solution. If that effort fails, the US will have to consider other options to secure equal political and legal rights for all" - boldly hinting at one state with equality.
Steven A. Cook@stevenacook
Senator Van Hollen wants to put the United States back in the peace process business for a 2-state solution that does not exist.

@HadarSusskind This appeals to base heads, village idiots, and antisemites.

@CoreyWriting Yeah.
I’m done with those bitches.

lots of establishment Dems coming out in favor of the Van Hollen essay

@Pterodactyculus @estherzelda0514 Other than his tattoo, is there anything about him that points to him being a nazi?
English
I would prefer a Dem Senate majority, and Platner is vital to that. But you cannot ask anyone to excuse a Nazi tattoo if they are not inclined to. We had a chance to be Blue No Matter Who when the hang up was risotto emails, and we blew it. Do not ask us to be pleased about being asked to support the drunk Nazi tattoo guy by hypocritical people too squeamish to support Clinton or Harris. There's only so much disrespect decent people can take from the antisemitic commie ratfuckers among them.
Drew Savicki@DrewSav
Auchincloss should be primaried. Endorsing Susan Collins is not acceptable for any elected Democrat. It's fine if he doesn't like Platner. I don't like him either but beating Susan Collins is of vital importance to our country.

@deathisast4r @dhakastani The UN elected a literal Nazi war criminal to be their secretary general when he was pushing the Soviet propaganda that Zionism is racism.
A UN report is the devil’s toilet paper.
All your numbers are made up bullshit.
English
@Pterodactyculus @dhakastani they know where to tow the line so the US still gives them weapons. regardless it’s still a genocide and they’ve committed so many war crimes and killed 5k children under the age of 5, all to maintain their settler colony. read this UN report: documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/…

@PeterBeinart @JakeAuch The primary is still on. Why acquiesce to the Nazi now, you self hating herb?
English
This is totally incoherent. The race is between Platner and Collins. If @JakeAuch opposes them both, then he doesn't care if Maine elects a Democratic Senator. And if he doesn't care if Maine elects a Democratic senator, he doesn't care very much about Democrats taking the Senate
Jake Auchincloss@JakeAuch
Susan Collins is a rubber stamp for the worst admin in history. Claims that I would endorse her, implicitly or otherwise, ignore my track record supporting Democrats to take back both chambers. As I said months ago, I find Platner's Nazi tattoo and his commentary about it personally disqualifying. If it were me I'd vote for someone else in the Maine Democratic primary. Regardless of what happens in Maine, Democrats need to take back the Senate and I'll keep working hard to make it happen.

@deathisast4r @dhakastani If all of Gaza is flattened (it’s not but most of it is flat or damaged) but most of the people lived and the population grew….. it wasn’t genocide or ethnic cleansing or indiscriminate.
English
@Pterodactyculus @dhakastani not exactly believable when they’re striking kids who just want water. and when all of gaza is flattened (which it basically already has been), where are you supposed to flee? reuters.com/world/middle-e…

@AaronRegunberg Fuck all Nazis.
Including Graham Platner.
Thanks.

Leftists have spent our entire lives holding our noses to support shitty corporate Democrats over Republicans as the lesser evil. The Auchincloss wing of the party sees one populist win and they're already declaring they hope Republicans keep control of Congress. Vichy traitors.

@deathisast4r @dhakastani Hamas turning every square inch of the place into a military base and launching a war from it made it the most dangerous place… where Israel will still warn you to leave before they destroy the tunnel under your house with the rockets in it.

@Pterodactyculus @dhakastani i’m talking about gaza, israel’s relentless bombing of the strip has made it one of the most dangerous places in the middle east

@obsessafilma Nah, you’re just angry we dare to fight to survive.
English
@Pterodactyculus Fuck off, Zionist trash. You and your fellow genocide-loving hypocritical warmongers are the ENTIRE AND ONLY CAUSE of antisemitic sentiments and attacks skyrocketing.
English
I'm two generations removed from the reason we agreed to make sure it was Never Again. The "for Anyone" has NEVER been silent.
Zionists do not represent the Jewish people who remember and fight for this to become the absolute truth.

@matthewstoller If populism means Nazi tattoos, then eat shit.

Jake Auchincloss has done important work on health care policy, and I admire his capacity for independent thought. Watch him at a hearing on PBMs and you’ll be impressed.
I just wish his political instincts weren’t so anti-populist.

In an interview with CNN on Monday, Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) says he finds Graham Platner's tattoo disqualifying and hopes Maine voters agree with him Auchincloss: “I find that tattoo and his commentary about it to be personally disqualifying. I hope Maine voters agree with me.” #MaineSenate

@demsocsean Fuck Nazis.
Fuck Platner.
Fuck all Nazi Supporting Democrats.

Jake Auchincloss just endorsed Susan Collins. He needs to be kicked out of the Democratic Party.

@DannouraCore @i_aver @CathyYoung63 @Quillette My specific tribe of Hebrews that my family comes from is the Levites. Moses was a Levite. Following Moses, for centuries, Levites named some of our babies Cushi, to reflect the Cush heritage we picked up before and after the Exodus. Moses married one of them.

@Pterodactyculus @i_aver @CathyYoung63 @Quillette It’s real enough that the medical profession use it to decide treatment, there are NGOs, government officials, whole industries around race, as you inform me it doesn’t exist why do they require so much tax money?
English
@DannouraCore @i_aver @CathyYoung63 @Quillette Because people on all sides of all things are self-serving con artists.

@Chris_H_Politic If you need a Nazi to win a majority with then you need to seriously reflect on what you have become.
A danger.
English
Platner is our candidate and we need to win the Senate. If a progressive representative ever said something like this about a centrist nominee it would be treated as high treason.
