@NickTroiano Trumps a rapist and a pedophile who ran on explicit racism. Platner said offensive things on Reddit a decade ago and had an offensive tattoo removed. Centrist "i cAnT tElL tHe dIfFeReNcE"

Jake is basically doing the thing Dems said they wished Rs would do about Trump for years — put country over party and political power. (It’s more than the tattoo; Platner all but said Dems should ignore the VA Supreme Court.) And the responses from many Dems underscores how both parties are susceptible to justifying the unjustifiable, reinforced by broken incentives. Can’t say Washington didn’t warn us…

@magi_jay We all remember the famous poem: "first they came for the communists and I didnt speak up because I wasn't a communist...and then nothing else happened. Fascists always stop at the groups I personally disagree with. They never go further than that"

Alright, I'm calling it. Hasan Piker's case is not a case you want to latch yourself onto immediately if you're looking for a greater "political prosecution" lane. Maybe he is a victim of this & I will always suspect Trump of malfeasance. Still, not a figurehead for the cause.

@NAFObackagain @Politicalprozac Im the Klansman...for defending the black representative who supports palestinian rights...not you defending the genocidal state lol

@shaffermark870 @Politicalprozac

(Jewish) family friend here in PA, who's been a Dem for 50 years (and a frequent Dem donor) just posted that he is leaving the party and becoming an Independent. Sad to see but honestly I don't know if I can blame him at this point.

@ThatRumSnob @pennslinger O not saying that. Most progressive state reps meant Rabb. Since shes mad people supported him and not her

@shaffermark870 @pennslinger Fuck this post but Evans was hardly progressive. Dude loved cops more than some actual cops haha

Former candidate is upset that no one backed them in their failed campaign against a popular three-term black incumbent in an majority black district.

Hasan and Code Pink committed the unforgivable crime of bringing food and meds and diapers to a country we're illegally starving. Zero Epstein pedophiles arrested, but this fascist terrorist regime is making humanitarianism a crime.

Yesterday we started running this ad during the Red Sox game. Midway through the game the ad was taken down by the station (which is owned by Red Sox ownership). And then the Sox blew a 4-0 lead.

@NAFObackagain @Politicalprozac Running an IG is one or the entry level jobs in comms on a campaign. Rabb would not be involved in the day to day. If he was thats a ridiculous waste of his time. The entry level staffer did something dumb? Im shocked. Shocked I say

@shaffermark870 @Politicalprozac Rabb is not the President, not even a Senator, the guy knows his staffers. Even if it was a staffer, why did Rabb hire him, and why did the staffer feel okay sending out a message like that ON HIS BEHALF

@eldo_navorser @PhillyGov @Politicalprozac I dont think they doxed the intern or whoever posted it lol. Do you think rabb is lying and secretly runs his own insta...

@shaffermark870 @PhillyGov @Politicalprozac Name of the staffer who was fired?

@NAFObackagain @Politicalprozac Dude its someone running an IG account. It's some nameless zoomer I'd bet lol

@shaffermark870 @Politicalprozac Who is the staffer?

@wildforcongress @AndrewMamo5 But Congresswoman this DC guy who's probably never been to Allentown says it was never been competitive! Clearly he knows better. He's a consultant!

@AndrewMamo5 Excuse me? We’ve been competitive in PA-07 since 2017. Says the three-term Dem Congresswoman from PA-07. But congrats to Bob B! I’m not taking anything away from that, just correcting your facts.

We met with Bob Brooks on August 20th. He announced August 26th. That’s exactly what The Bench does — support candidates in communities Democrats traditionally think we can’t compete in before they’re “everyone’s guy.” If that bothers you, that’s a you problem.

@AndrewMamo5 Love being a DC consultant claiming credit for a district you know so little about you dont know the republican is a 1 term incumbent who barely beat the 3 term dem in a wave election lol. Literally anyone with 3 brain cells had the 7th as a must win to retake the house

When critics pointed out black-and-white factual errors from the beginning to the end of the NYT’s “Screams Without Words,” one of the most consequential fabrications in the paper’s history, used to justify a genocide, the paper steadfastly refused to address them. Only when video evidence emerged directly contradicting part of it did they offer a soft “update” to the piece. Note how differently critics of the Kristof piece are treated. Where the original article did not interview a single victim, Kristof spoke to 14, all corroborated in other ways too. The critics do not challenge a single fact, instead they argue that the behavior described is simply impossible, or dogs would never do that, and all the witnesses and victims are biased against Israel and should not be listened to. Not a single honest criticism of what he has reported has been presented that contradicts the facts he laid out. Yet those critics — who hysterically impugn his character and even in many cases suggest he should be executed — get a polite and respectful reply from the Times. (And in their reply they double down on their old Screams piece, stridently and without evidence.)

@Wilson__Valdez Canvassed for him. Ending the wars is a top reason for supporting him for a lot of people you moron lol

Average voters do not give a fuck about Israel. Maine is even more of a bubble state than pretty much anywhere else. You could poll 100 people and 99 of them would not mention Israel in their top 10 issues.

You may not like it, but everywhere you go in Maine, the voters are OUTRAGED at the DNC autopsy. They demand it. A total failure to Meet The Moment.

@PhillyGov @Politicalprozac @Wilson__Valdez Good thing he didn't post that then. The staffer who did was fired immediately, it was disowned and deleted

@Politicalprozac @Wilson__Valdez Rabb isn't technically a rep yet but he won on Tuesday.

@Politicalprozac @Wilson__Valdez A Rabb staffer posted it and was immediately fired and the post deleted. These idiots try to act like Rabb personally runs the account to smear him

@Wilson__Valdez Which rep? I’m not doubting you I just don’t remember seeing that. And it feels like something that would be talked about pretty extensively given the amount of discourse being paid to a lunatic candidate that will lose the primary.

@AdultAF76 @Politicalprozac @Wilson__Valdez Fighting AIPAC is damn near a 90 10 issue among dems at this point lol. What's wrong with being anti a right wing pac that gets involved in dem primaries

@Politicalprozac @Wilson__Valdez Guys like Platner, Khanna, Mamdani and others are not online assholes. They are real life politicians who will or are in power. They literally send emails asking for money so they can fight AIPAC.

Holy fucking shit. From Platner’s interview with the NYT.

Big news: Congresswoman @AyannaPressley just endorsed us! “Chris Rabb has been a strong progressive fighter for workers and families. He will be a courageous voice and bring the bold, activist leadership #Philly working families need. I'm proud to endorse him for Congress.”
