Trying to give politics another chance.






Netanyahu told Trump the IDF will not withdraw from Lebanon and that Israel does not consider itself bound by the Lebanon clause in the U.S.-Iran agreement - Maariv

Hasan Piker says the designated terrorist organization Hamas is 1,000 times better than Israel. His statement outraged many — who now just want to write him off. That's a mistake. He has a massive audience and is emerging as one of the major voices of his generation. Those of us who disagree owe him — and his audience — a real argument. Here's mine … And my position doesn’t come from ignorance about oppression. For a big chunk of my life, I was a grassroots activist — because of the pain of my own people. During those years, I was lucky enough to learn from elders who had been in the Black Panther Party, in SNCC, in the ANC. These were people who had to choose whether to pick up the gun — and how to use it if they did. They taught me this: even in armed struggle, there are principles. No women. No children. No rapes. No kidnapping. Mandela held that line. Amílcar Cabral held that line. You don't become what you're fighting. Hamas fails that test. They are not fighting for MORE freedom for Palestinians. They're fighting for less. They want theocracy, not democracy. And their means? They don’t use principled armed struggle (hitting military targets). They use terrorism (targeting civilians). The vast majority of Americans — including those who sympathize with the Palestinian cause — reject terror tactics. Reasonable people would agree on three principles: secure homelands for both peoples; no hatred for Jews or Muslims; and protection for all civilians. Hamas’ approach undermines all three. That's the conversation Piker's audience deserves. Not name-calling.

The @DailyMail published this farce today, which claims Hamas are sexually abusing Palestinian women and 'forcing them to have sex for food aid'. The article relies solely on Jusoor News, a U.S-based propaganda outfit, funded by pro-"Israel" mega-donors. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Democrat spokesperson Hasan Piker goes off on a Vietnamese refugee who escaped communism: "Shut the fuck up you stupid fucking idiotic old lady." "Suck my dick old lady." "Fuck this south Vietnamese motherfucking...psychotic fucking refugee!" This is the Democrat Party.


Belligerent misogynists who want to yell at women all day are like 30% of the electorate. Wife-beaters, live-streamers, that whole genre of guy. Maybe he really can help the Democrats.




For those who need reminding what the vote around Dual Membership at our founding conference actually stated: 'Option A — Dual Membership with aligned allied parties Members shall be permitted to hold membership in other national political parties where they have been approved by the CEC as aligning with the Party’s values, to include those with whom the Party cooperates electorally. The approved list shall be subject to ongoing CEC review and annual ratification by National Conference.' This is not about individuals feelings or what certain people want others to believe. This is about what the actual wording says. This is about democracy not distortion. Some individuals, whether through malicious intent or sheer ignorance, need to recognise the damage they are doing by spreading a false narrative around the vote. Dual membership was voted on but it clearly stipulates that the CEC must approve and ratify organisations. The CEC did exactly that yesterday, agreeing by majority, including my submitted amendment to allow for TUSC to be an approved organisation. Please don’t allow those who are not fully committed to our Party to cause further unnecessary damage and division. I remain optimistic. This was a crucial step to allow branches to form without further delay or the likelihood of infiltration.





You know, one take away from this whole Your Party debacle is that Jeremy Corbyn has zero leadership skills. He was completely absent from moving the party forward and missed the first proper CEC meeting because he was in Cuba. He never spoke to anybody in Scotland about their vision for the party, even though he knew the clash we were heading into. He has been utterly useless. I'm sorry if that bursts the halo you have crowned him with, but having the correct politics does not make someone a good leadership candidate.

Holy shit, this is troublesome Looks like Your Party is being taken to court for being undemocratic/breach of contract, and @GoodLawProject are involved Who'd have thunk it?
