Yes and there’s something to be said for showing where your priorities lie. The Democrats have gladly shown they’re willing to play into hysterical islamophobia and racism.

1) So then what exactly do you think it is Palestinians are angry about then? Do you have any idea what their lives are like in the Gaza Strip, that they would be angry? They exist as refugees, and Omar is a former Somali refugee herself. It’s baked into her politics that she’d have sympathy for a hurting population. h…

These people don’t exactly have the capacity to hold multiple thoughts in their heads without contradiction.

She and Schumer are both in over their heads. Does that equal it out?

My issue isn’t that they haven’t cleared people like King out, but that they don’t bother voice any kind of discontent till it becomes far too pronounced to ignore. King has been in power for well over a decade, none of what he’s done is new, and yet Democatic leadership under Pelosi and Schumer has been content to…

1) Again: Israel shot people knowing full well that they were innocent. The fucking UN confirmed this. Why you’re insistent on Isreal’s right to exercise violence on people that they oppress via threat of violence, deprivation of basic necessities and pushing them out of their homes is beyond me. But you can’t deny…

My point is that Democrats put no energy into engaging the Republicans when they actually do horrific shit but let themselves get led by the nose at every opportunity by bad-faith actors.

Breaking it down point by point:

So serious question: but was Booker asleep during the entirety of Obama’s presidency or something?

So what exactly do you call Israeli snipers firing indiscriminately at people over the border when bullets strike children?

The trolls in the comments are as entertaining as ever. Always on about the free market till it goes somewhere they don’t like it to.

That the Democrats did more to put Omar in check in two than fucking Steve King in his entire professional career pretty much proves how very little a certain segment of the Democrats give a shit about women and people of color, beyond their utility in the voting booth. And it’s gladdening to see that may not be the…

That Book of Psalms is never gonna get read.

It still blows my mind the Democrats needed the New Yorker to point out Fox News has a symbiotic relationship with the Republican Party and Trump. I guess the evidence of their eyes wasn’t cutting it.

And that there is why I’m struggling to take her seriously. Not that I don’t believe her, but that any of this matters to her.

Take your star, you sonuvagun...

In case the article and the above comments didn’t spell it out for you: There’s a difference between games that have rape in them and a game that’s ABOUT raping people. This one was the latter. It’s their platform, they can remove it, and certainly this has no more reason to be owed a platform than that school…

Yeah, this is a recurring theme with her allying herself with shitty men till it’s about this. I’d be curious to hear whether she believes the people who’ve accused her President and various others in the Republican Party of similar actions.

Let this be a lesson to everyone who’s still feeling smug about Jussie. The Chicago police is fundamentally corrupt.

Yeah. This is... disturbing to put it lightly. Short of independent confirmation, this is the only way we’ll know how many people the US war machine kills. Leaving this all unaccountable is fucked up to the extreme. It’s also a good notion of why we shouldn’t have a death fleet in the first place.
