My biggest issue with the left and their demands, is our only valid argument for appeasing them is us just saying "we need to do some illiberal populism, to court some illiberal populists, so that we can defeat the evil illiberal populists" And I don't think I can be that stupid.

You can't say "Both parties are the same" and then only protest one of them because you're afraid the other will kill you.

Growing up, I was a dumb anarchist punk rocker. I spent an unimaginable amount of energy trying to avoid for selective service. Long story short, this policy doesn't actually change much, unless you happen to be an adult male, high school dropout, who never registered to vote.
CNN@CNN

Young, eligible men will be automatically registered for the military draft pool starting in December as part of a measure tucked into the annual defense policy bill Congress signed into law late last year. Men ages 18 to 26 must already register for selective service in case a draft is required. Here’s what you need to know about automatic Selective Service registration. cnn.it/4ecJDgc

I just learned Idaho Republicans banned the Pride flag, so Boise officials painted their flagpoles in Pride colors as an act of protest. That's a fantastic act of protest.

@StatisticUrban The county went to Trump, though. We're a very small part of the greater "Boise area" It's very sad. But the mayor and most of the city council are great.

"trillion dollars per year" lol
Zack@Asmongold

@america That's it? Unless these discoveries are followed by Old Testament personal accountability, the fraud will continue We are losing probably more than a trillion dollars a year and without a 23 year old Youtuber, this wouldn't even be happening

No, the reason why people were mad was because Mehdi claimed Zelenskyy lost his moral high ground for complaining about the closure of the Strait, which is a ridiculous statement he attempted to support by then comparing Iran to Ukraine. This is especially frustrating when Ukrainians have been getting murdered by Iranian drones daily in an illegal war that started a year before Oct 7th that no pro-Pali lefty gives a single flying fuck about.
Nathan J Robinson@NathanJRobinson

Incredible how many people respond to this with irrelevant arguments (Iran is not a democratic, Iran helps Russia). The point is that Iran is a sovereign state invaded by an aggressor, who wantonly attacks civilians, in violation of international law.

@mehdirhasan I think that everyone is struggling with your hyper focus on the legality of the war, rather than the conditions that created the war. Because otherwise what's the point in comparing them?

@TheOmniLiberal Don't ask questions that will make you sad when they answer. Because he knows damn well that condemnable ghandi drank the water.

Hitler drank water. Ghandi drank water. Or do you support the Holocaust? Just because two countries were illegally attacked doesn't mean they have any similairities beyond that, so the comparison is wild. It's a specifically wild claim because one of Russia's (false) accusations against Ukraine was that they were genociding ethnic Russians in the Donbas, and engaged in other forms of aggression against Russia. Iran, however, actually DOES engage in exporting violence across the region via several proxies. The two situations aren't really comparable.
Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan

Ukraine was illegally attacked. Iran was illegally attacked. Or do you support Trump’s illegal war on Iran?

I have openly said I didn't know fuck all about I/P until October 7th and I started doing research on it. In 6 months I was able to debate your best scholars on it and crush them (see: Finkelstein RIP), and the rest avoid the debate (for good reason). Hasan claims to have known about I/P for over a decade and doesn't know literally the most important landmark in the country.

Our argument is that everyone already knows their ideas are bad. Making those bad ideas part of our policies, is going to lose us votes. The left will not vote for a democrat, and they keep telling us this over and over.
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias

@Alicoh1 Yes, this is the thing. There has to be some other tactic against leftists, like persuading people their ideas are bad.

@Carolina_Cam1 @LycanCooks Interesting... you very clearly did not specify any of that. You said her rampant zionism is what is in the way of her finding the pulse or common ground with her interlocutor.

@firstfir217469 @LycanCooks Except I didn’t retard. I specifically said that her being a former Republican and rampant Zionist makes her incapable of understanding how to reach Dem voters. I spoke nothing of “ruining” a podcast. But leave it to a dipshit Zionist to play victim.

This, as we say, is good shit. I’m so exhausted with online politics and the tribalism. I want a culture of political influencers that work to find common ground, rather than using this movement to prosecute their personal vendettas.

This is The Bulwark. We don’t all think one thing! I think Tim is wrong on Hasan Piker, so we hashed it out. Listen to us work through it in a format much more conducive to a productive discussion than Twitter dunks.
