@michifalls @hasanthehun @ImNotOwned x.com/joshulaya/stat… I will concede though that this is a good point that I hadn’t initially considered; I mention here that it’s fine to ask a question on Israel-Palestine since it’s such a salient issue, but I don’t think it should be as relevant for a mayor’s race
Josh Laya@joshulaya

@hasanthehun @ImNotOwned x.com/hasanthehun/st… I do think this is much more valid reasoning; I don’t see an issue with asking one question over a 2 hour stream, but it is annoying that people are acting like this is the most important part in an interview for a city mayor

@joshulaya @hasanthehun @ImNotOwned So what do you think about local politicians having power over pro palestinian protest and the UCLA encampments? You dont think any of thisbis relevant and should be asked about?

They aren’t 1:1 but how is this really that much different than caring if the New York mayoral candidates go visit Israel
Stu Smith@thestustustudio

🧵 What a rough night for Nithya Raman. Hasan Piker put the LA mayoral candidate and DSA member through a full-on struggle session over her record, repeatedly pressing her to explain where she had fallen short of the movement line. And honestly, even as a conservative, I felt bad for her. This was brutal. One flashpoint was a DSA criticism over Raman’s role in a city resolution tied to the UTLA BDS fight. But the exchange was bigger than that. This was not a good-faith interview. It was an ideological audit. Raman mostly tried to answer politically. She came to DSA through housing and homelessness, said this was not her area of expertise, said she had learned more, and promised she was “committed to learning more.” Stick around for more, because by the end of this even Hasan’s chat wanted his head.

@michifalls @hasanthehun @ImNotOwned Like I thing there’s a disconnect here that you guys aren’t understanding; it’s dumb to focus on the foreign part of the foreign policy and not how it actually impacts their constituents. Ask about the UCLA students if that’s the part that matters!

@michifalls @hasanthehun @ImNotOwned Well then he could have asked about UCLA crackdowns on protestors and not the greater foreign policy. Look at how Zohran does it; he distances himself from the foreign policy (“I am focused on New York”) and he uses that to stand up for Columbia students

@michifalls @hasanthehun @ImNotOwned I’m not saying it should be a thing. It’s obviously awful that our police are saying they’re “training” to take vacations abroad on the taxpayer’s dime. However, this is not an Israel specific issue!!!! There were 220 trips including to the Olympics.

@EssentialDrain @hasanthehun @ImNotOwned No, I want you to think harder about how AIPAC lobbying federal politicians is relevant when considering whether local politicians are captured by moneyed interests.

@joshulaya @hasanthehun @ImNotOwned Pls think a bit harder about why it matters. There are still donors and “money interests” who want to push their bullshit over what is for the greater good at the city level. This isn’t rocket science

The deep state was so cool like Trump was President for four whole years, and only sort of controlled the military

@DopeDave94 Im sorry no offense to you at all but your post is making me chuckle, lol. I’m now imagining an all powerful tire company lobby that is lobbying politicians to not fix potholes so that more people need to get their tires repaired

@joshulaya And what happens when she tells us she has a plan to fix pot holes, but after she's elected her big money donors tell her they don't want her to do that? Or to do it differently so that they can make money off of it? How do we know who she will side with?

@michifalls @hasanthehun @ImNotOwned If you know anything about public sector corruption then you know this is a far far more likely story than the LAPD going to crack down on the West Bank or something

hasanabi@hasanthehun

we talked abt a ton of local issues & she’s much stronger than bass and pratt(lol) on homelessness, housing, urban planning etc. israel’s politics unfortunately are intertwined w los angeles. i asked her abt her local choices/ endorsements and if she’s changed her mind on the issue and why. why are you so intellectually incurious?

@hasanthehun @ImNotOwned Its useless go to a city council meeting and ask about Israel much in the same way its useless to ask your electrician or barber their opinion on Israel. It’s not their job and its really dumb to expect local level politicians to have well thought out opinions on foreign policy

@EssentialDrain @hasanthehun @ImNotOwned Are you even trying to read what I said? Even as a litmus test for “moneyed interest” its stupid because AIPAC doesnt operate at a local level (NYC mayors race was an exception)

@joshulaya @hasanthehun @ImNotOwned It’s very relavant bc what if you actually read what Hasan said, it’s bc it sees how much is she moved by money. So she could be swayed to only helps parts of the city or not help others bc she’s swayed by money. You just need to use your brain a bit more

@DonkeDmonke @HubPointless I mean yeah its easy to say post mortem that season 3 introduced all the elements that make the show suck now, but like there was a reason that season was so popular, it was legitimately the most entertaining season of the show (seasons 1 and 2 still clear it by miles)

@HubPointless I keep fucking saying this, all these morons keep going on and on about how season 3 was the peak as if it wasn't the season that brought in all the dumb shit we're seeing now. The rot began there and just kept fucking spreading.

The Boys is a bad show. One good season. One alright one. Then it collapses. Butcher being the final villain should’ve been a season long arc. Hughie putting all he learned to heartbreakingly bring his friend/mentor down. Its problems are seasons old. Fatal problems. Oh well.
