Bro, what?! Vote for @Jon_RosenthalTX instead of this soggy racist hamburger bun.

one of the most well-deserved pulitzers probably in its history. if you haven't read aaron's haunting, moving account by now then you need to right now.

Let's do this:

To be fair, Joe Biden inherited an economy ravaged by Covid which Donald Trump wildly mismanaged. The country was recovering well (relative to other countries) when Trump took over and made a series of bad decisions that are destroying the economy we had just rebuilt.

I’ll refer you to the Selma protests, and George Wallace, also known as Bloody Sunday. The world saw nonviolent protestors violently attacked on a bridge by their own government for wanting to vote. It was so horrific that a few days later Lyndon B Johnson presented the Voting Rights Act to Congress. Obviously, these protestors shouldn’t lose their lives, but it isn’t futile to attack Trump and Vance. Trump is reactionary and easily embarrassed. He would absolutely hate it if protestors showed up at his rallies and disrupted them in the same fashion they did Kamala Harris on her book tour. That would generate a lot of media coverage and create the disruption they’re looking for. But many of them won’t do it because it was more important to make the Democrats pay than to actually hold power accountable consistently.

@ThinkingMunk @ContraPoints Populists gonna be populists!

@ContraPoints I guess this is the end.

Well I was told we didn’t need to vote because there would be a revolution if things got bad. So, I assume that’s happening? Any minute now.

@MisterBoner69 @stretch14tw @krystalball @hasanthehun I'm super excited to vote for James Talarico, and it's pretty weird that you're pulling something from the public record to try and sound threatening! Hope you have a great weekend 👋

@schmerco @stretch14tw @krystalball @hasanthehun clearly this is the winning messaging that constantly has texas democrats winning statewide races! how pissed are you that talarico doesn't support your genocidal desires jen? how are your parents susan and lee doing?

Nothing in this questioner’s comments suggest he’s asking Slotkin about money from Jewish people in general yet she immediately suggests he’s anti-Semitic.

@tishkabibble @VeraGavrilovna @krystalball @hasanthehun You said you're not talking about donors, then you went into the money issue. Slotkin did put herself on the record on this issue, for what it's worth. Not great that she couldn't make the vote, but it doesn't matter much because Thune runs the Senate: share.google/If1p2QNvtqiAUw…

@schmerco @VeraGavrilovna @krystalball @hasanthehun The question about AIPAC is that is the only assumption one can make about what’s motivating them when they won’t actually address the issue

@tishkabibble @VeraGavrilovna @krystalball @hasanthehun (or single-issue Palestine donors, since this whole discussion is about PAC money vs. individual donations)

@tishkabibble @VeraGavrilovna @krystalball @hasanthehun I realize you feel that this is a false choice, but it's the one we have in reality. And saying that people should be single-issue Palestine voters is playing right into Israel's hands--it means we keep electing right-wing people who will fund Israel forever.

@tishkabibble @VeraGavrilovna @krystalball @hasanthehun It's funny, on the left we're all pointing fingers at each other saying, "You're equating Israel with all Jews!" when the only people actually doing that are the Republicans. My point was that Individual donors to PACs might donate to candidates for any number of other reasons.

@schmerco @VeraGavrilovna @krystalball @hasanthehun I don’t think you should be making assumptions about her intent when time and time again when people are questioning Israel’s genocide in Gaza they are labeled antisemitic. Slotkin and her ilk are equating all Jewish people with the state of Israel. That seems antisemitic to me

@Cautiousperson9 @HabitualBalance @VeraGavrilovna @krystalball @hasanthehun

@schmerco @HabitualBalance @VeraGavrilovna @krystalball @hasanthehun Shut the fuck up you dissembling moron

@pierson649 @HabitualBalance @VeraGavrilovna @krystalball @hasanthehun The argument I'm trying to make is that individual donations from those same people shouldn't be counted as coming from the "pro-Israel lobby." That's not dark money, and there are many other issues/reasons for which people choose to donate directly.

@schmerco @HabitualBalance @VeraGavrilovna @krystalball @hasanthehun That is absolutely laughable. Thousands of other ways to donate to candidates. Pro Israel PAC donations are support for Israel.

@sknipple3 @HabitualBalance @VeraGavrilovna @krystalball @hasanthehun

@schmerco @HabitualBalance @VeraGavrilovna @krystalball @hasanthehun Would you be okay if she accepted donations from someone who also donated to the Nazi party?

@MisterBoner69 @stretch14tw @krystalball @hasanthehun Wow, Mister Boner 69. I'm sorry I've given you such a terrible first impression. I guess it takes one to know one!

@schmerco @stretch14tw @krystalball @hasanthehun i know you don't care to learn more because you're a literal piece of human refuse who should be flushed down the toilet, but this is the reality of "complexity" in israel/palestine youtube.com/watch?v=RxC5Hh…

@jules_su The way I cackled at this

Devastated to learn of yet another talented filmmaker with ties to Epstein :/

@HabitualBalance @VeraGavrilovna @krystalball @hasanthehun

@schmerco @VeraGavrilovna @krystalball @hasanthehun Liberal Zionist 2 state solutions. It's nonsense and will never fix the systemic issues. The only real solution is one state which is a sovereign democratic nation comprised of everyone in the entirity of Palestine with right of return offered to the Diaspora and reparations.

@HabitualBalance @VeraGavrilovna @krystalball @hasanthehun Yes, it sure would be great to live in a drastically different world.

@schmerco @VeraGavrilovna @krystalball @hasanthehun The reason Trump is in the white house is due to years of "lesser evil" voting which inevitably lead to a situation where the options became fascism or fascism-lite. Either way it's fascism. The world needs drastic differences in approach and action.
