@HSVSphere @gnshnor People shouldn’t need “interest”(whatever that even means(????)), just to get a job.
Chik fil a workers don’t need to read the Bible, Bartenders are better sober, and teachers don’t need to own children.

Honestly same bc we’d be less likely to see this chud and others like him run in for office in key swing states without proper vetting

Graham Platner: “If I had my way, elections would last two months, they would be publicly funded, and if a billionaire looked at a TV ad the wrong way we’d put ‘em in jail.”

Just speaking for myself here, but if I had been exposed as having an SS tattoo on my chest for 18 years, I would have the good sense not to accuse my political opponents of being slaves to the Jews
Graham Platner for Senate@grahamformaine
John Fetterman seems to genuinely think that the reason no one likes him is because he refuses to wear a suit. It's not the hoodie, dude. It's because you've become a stooge for AIPAC and the Republican party.

Eager to put people in jail for constitutionally protected activity.

@realJeremyCarl I quickly looked through the current democratic senators and there are at least 20 straight white christian men.

1/ I'm not really the "make up a cute catchphrase" type of writer, but in this case, it maps so closely onto reality, that I made an exception.
"Let's call it The Platner Paradox.
(1) The Democrats perceive that they need to run candidates who are straight White Christian men to win in certain jurisdictions- and maybe even nationally.
(2) No normal straight White Christian man today would want to be deeply involved with the Democratic Party."

@realJeremyCarl I'd add:
3. Well meaning but misguided people who genuinely think it's still 1985 and they're fighting for labor rights or to help the less fortunate or whatever, and genuinely don't realize their party actively despises them. Fetterman, Shapiro, etc.

No one even in our movement can understand what a minimal demand is we are so cooked

AOC sponsored a bill that explicitly allows the continued transfer of “defensive” weapons to Israel. Even today AOC supports selling iron dome parts to Israel. No one is spinning her to be a Zionist, she is one, you just can’t cope with that fact.

@gorbachevstoe @Grogposter @AndromedaPip Define oppression and how American Jews in the 21st century are subject to it
English
@Grogposter @AndromedaPip it’s also an insane argument on its face. Jews are *relatively* privileged compared to other oppressed groups so therefore we can be a little antisemetic??? Like???
English
The left has an antisemitism problem. This is bad not because the feelings of Jewish people deserve special consideration, but because it means we as a movement are failing to adopt a clear-headed critical analysis and instead indulge in irrational sentimentalism.
English
@Grogposter @AndromedaPip So we can leave a “High IQ Antisemitism” carve out? Or am I misinterpreting
English
@AndromedaPip People act like they’re being personally attacked on here when you call out left-antisemitism because “Jews in the west are relatively privileged” or whatever, as if 99% of antisemitic sentiment doesn’t eventually devolve into legitimately harmful shit like this:

@jimgeraghty @CathyYoung63 Holy crap dude this is epic
Post this one Reddit!!!!!

@CathyYoung63 Yes, but I'm thinking of a particular historical figure closer to Platner's heart, if you catch my drift.

You know _who else_ had an enthusiasm for jailing people for specious and arbitrary reasons?

TFW u got 1 hour of overtime last week and now you make .5% more than the federal poverty line and have to wait 1 more month to apply for financial aid(hope you don’t get over 40 hours a week:))))

Saying “I would jail anyone I dislike who might get in the way of my side acquiring power” isn’t really the best way to convince people that you aren’t a, well, you know.

Toronto police are arresting people for free speech and expression at the "Walk With Israel" pro-genocide march in Toronto.
You will be arrested for expressing delegitimization of the nation-state of Israel.

@VenturCommunist @cosoperations You will never get that 1000$ with arguments like this
