If you want consequences for criminal actions, start by trying war criminals like GWB, Cheney, Yoo, Abrams, Obama, Clinton, etc. It's already a well-established precedent that you can committ as many crimes as you want if you're in power. Start throwing the people responsible for torture, signature strikes and…

Am I missing something? 5 bottles of wine between 8 people is hardly excessive.
Was she 12 or 13 when she posted that?
Yeah, you tell that uppity Muslim!
They took her to task for propagating Islamophobia, the same hatred that fueled this terrorist attack. Is it too much to ask that you listen to the activists and try to understand their motives before condemning them?
lol if Omar had said the same thing about the KSA lobby, nobody would have batted an eye. In fact, she has said the same thing about the KSA/UAE and Yemen. This was about silencing pro-Palestinian voices and smacking down a Muslim woman for being too uppity. Which is why these protestors were perfectly justified: when…
Yeah, it's lame to confront Islamophobia in the wake of an Islamophobic terrorist attack!
Clinton indulged in soft Islamophobia by joining an anti-Muslim, anti-Palestinian lynch mob. The mosque attacks were motivated by Islamophobia. Islamophobia like all hatreds exists on a spectrum; the shooter was closer to the hardcore Trump-style Islamophobe than the softer, more respectable Islamophobia trafficked by…
Because those candidates are to Bernie’s right and ideology matters.
Bcause Sanders is a leftist whereas Warren is a progressive. Sanders talks about class conflict and criticizes capitalism; Warren doesn’t. Warren is the 2nd best candidate but the times call for radical change, not moderate reforms. If you want to hear why the Left prefers Sanders over Warren, here you go: https://www.…
But he didn’t pledge fealty to the party of Menedez, Lieberman and Manchin! Clearly he’s a fauxgressive!
Progressive candidates did much better than centrist ones in comparable constituencies.
That’s some genius thinking there. Depending on the educated, conservative upper-middle class has been so successful recently; just ask President Hillary Clinton or PM Miliband. It’s certainly not as though every major plank of Bernie's platform enjoys 60% + support nationwide or anything.
You got your back-to-the-roots Labour party and you've spent the last few years shittalking it.
Yes, some people sympathize more with the oppressed indigenous population than the apartheid state oppressing then.
Strange how a potential first Jewish president gets dismissed by centrists as an old white guy yet the Women's March leaders got smeared for claiming that white Jews have white privilege.
Because most baby boomers came of age politically as the modern Right was ascendent (culminating in the Reagan revolution and the Gringrich takeover of Congress) and they absorbed those right-wing neoliberal values and ways of thinking. You can see the influence of the New-Deal, class-conscious thinking in Bernie…
Has he apologized for his mistakes? If not, why should we be so eager to forgive him?
Moreover, in this tweet (https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1103276803681071104?s=04&fbclid=IwAR3LtVDKXQRggdiTDbFOr09nfHiSwrhJchDhcamUPyiykD13x-wUaLfJzAs), she seems to be arguing that we should accept any accusations of bigotry at face value, regardless of the merits. It should be obvious how dangerous this is.
