@KyleKulinski @ksorbs Why is the left so anti-empathy these days?

Her husband has bone cancer you vile thing.
Congressman Shri Thanedar@RepShriThanedar
Tulsi Gabbard is resigning. Good riddance. The Iran war has been the biggest display of intelligence incompetence in decades.

@ryangrim the fact that she didnt probably says something about her as a force for anything other than herself no?
English
I do think MTG should’ve gone down fighting and made Trump and AIPAC spend all that time and money beating her. No doubt she’d have lost, but forcing them to beat both her and Massie on the same day would’ve mattered and maybe helped Massie.
HalalFlow@halalflow
By resigning and choosing not to run for reelection, MTG did a huge favor to Trump. It perfectly aligned interests and freed up more resources, allowing all that political money to be concentrated on the goal of trying to defeat Thomas Massie

@TheoVon @RepThomasMassie "I like when they take away your healthcare but not the other stuff!"

@ryangrim Shouldn't you enjoy the clarity that there is no anti war right? we dont have to pretend anymore.
English
Because it’s about the Epstein Class against everyone else
Laura Ingraham@IngrahamAngle
If Massie is a “true conservative,” then why does everyone on the Left want him to win?
English
@ggreenwald maybe you should stop pretending there is an anti war right
English
If the AIPAC/Adelson crowd wants someone out of Congress for disloyalty to Israel, they will be out of Congress.
There are a few exceptions due to unusual districts, but not many. The Israel Lobby has unlimited funding and will spend limitlessly to expunge the blasphemous.

@ahlmanforne Can't imagine being a supposed leftist and hyperbolically glazing the far right this hard.

I don’t mix prayer and politics much. But I’m praying for Thomas Massie today.
Losing one of the few remaining fearless men of principle in our government would be a devastating blow for a country already on the brink of collapse.
Thomas Massie for Congress@MassieforKY
I did not see this coming, but my election has become an inflection point for our whole country. Today we make history. Will you be part of this historic day by voting, calling friends who can vote, posting to social media, or making a donation? Spread the word fellow patriots!

@bonchieredstate something wrong with the spastic decline you voted for?
English
I know the influencer accounts are busy posting fire emojis, but this China trip looks like a dud. We got a non-binding Boeing order, less than half its original size, and some vagaries about soy beans.
China got profuse praise, concessions on trade, support for buying our farmland and 500,000 student visas, AI chips, and the softening of demands around Iran.
Sorry, I can't lie to you and tell you this was a good result. Scream at me if you must.

@unusual_whales Congrats to you for framing this as a democrat only issue for years.

BREAKING: Trump bought millions in stocks after the Iran war dip.
He also has had unusual large gains.
You can see some of his top gains here, where he has made millions.
Unusual.

@SarahLongwell25 these are the dangers of expecting centrists to be leaders against fascism.

I don’t understand what Jared Polis is thinking. But I know America will regret deciding that there shouldn’t be accountability for everyone who tried to overturn a United States election.

Welcome to the Democratic Party! The broad tent majority party of freedom, the rule of law, limited government, and protecting all of our constitutional rights!

I’m pro-freedom, pro-law and order, pro-limited government, and pro-the Declaration and the Constitution. And so today I’m a Democrat.

@unusual_whales you are a lame ass mouthpiece account dude

@unusual_whales So you're just like a mouthpiece account now?

@KaoticLeftist @mehdirhasan Wait @mehdirhasan she voted in favor in defensive weapons right? I remember that and she came back and wrote a whole post about why she voted for it…
English
Lmfao in what universe is AOC pro Israel. She’s still never voted to give them a dime. There is constructive criticism and then there is just being a wrecker. Do you not understand that you’re participating in the right wing propaganda that the post below is referencing?
Kate Willett@katewillett
I don’t even know why her biggest fans are anxious to have her run on an ambiguous pro Israel line in 2028, there’s nothing in current polling that suggests the people are hungry for more weapons to Israel and capitulation to establishment Dems.
English
@ggreenwald Literally just apologize for lying to people about trump being anti war. it has had real consequences - own up to how hard you got played.
English
This person works for a Dem Party site founded and run by Bill Kristol, who one can plausibly argue has more blood on his hands, and a history of more repellent views, than anyone in American media.
He's never apologized for most of them. Yet her she is with this lecture:
Sarah Longwell@SarahLongwell25
I have a litmus test for people who have said terrible things in their past: Have they apologized and said the previously-stated terrible views were terrible? Because if they have, then I’m inclined to judge them based on the views they are currently expressing.
English
@katewillett was shocked to read this totally made up "unambiguously pro Israel" AOC take and then I remembered you were telling people to vote third party on election night.

AOC could win back good will from former supporters (like me) by simply:
1. Apologizing for her “working tirelessly for ceasefire” lie.
2. Clearly stating she opposes SELLING weapons to Israel.
3. Adding pro Palestine advisors.
Russiagate Bernie Bros 2 won’t win voters.
Waleed Shahid 🪬@_waleedshahid
I know someone who works at a risk management firm who told me that influence ops he'd witnessed in other countries looked something like: go after the most popular elected officials critical of XYZ, make them look hypocritical or fake among their own base, neutralize whichever elected officials voters might actually organize around. Bots, TikToks, rage-bait. The sudden social media surge behind certain presidential candidates in fall 2024 -- and their equally sudden disappearance the morning after Election Day -- is worth sitting with.
English
@ryangrim @arash_tehran You continue to mislead about the timeline of events for some bizarre reason. And most people don't define "paying the price" as going from one podcast circuit to another.
English
What’s weird about this days long crash out from @arash_tehran is that nobody is saying you need to form some new political party with MTG or even say anything nice about any of her history or any of her other views.
Not hard to say, ya know, I think she’s the worst person ever but I’m glad she’s standing up against genocide and war with Iran.
Not being willing to say even that is a choice. I get why AOC won’t, MTG has been personally vicious toward her for years, stalking and harassing her at her office, etc. But it is just an obvious statement of fact that when it comes to war and genocide and defending Epstein’s victims, she stood up when it mattered and paid a price for that. And it’s fine to say that’s a good thing she did.
English
@MargBarAmerica you are the easiest mark to spot in the universe
English
it’s dishonest to talk about mtg or tucker as being any more deceitful when she boldly lied about kamala “working tirelessly for a ceasefire.” yeah no shit they have their own political motives. so does aoc. the day she grows a spine is when she can differentiate herself from mtg
Acyn@Acyn
AOC: I personally do not trust somebody like Marjorie Taylor Greene—a proven bigot and anti-semite—on the issues of what is good for Gazans and Israelis. I don’t think it benefits our movement to align with white nationalists.
English
@onehandpolitics left out - voted to censure ilhan omar for being muslim - talked about deporting the squad. Wanted to expel college students for protesting genocide.
English
@MikeNellis Do you have a good explanation for why @ryangrim is consistently lying about this?
English
MTG did not sacrifice her political career. She quit her job in the middle of her term the day after her pension vested to become a podcaster. That’s not a profile in courage. Let’s stop pretending otherwise. At least Thomas Massie stayed in the race and faced the voters.
Ryan Grim@ryangrim
MTG sacrificed her political career to stand against genocide, against Trump, against the Epstein Class, and to defend the survivors of Epstein’s trafficking. If that doesn’t earn credibility I don’t know what possibly could.
