Dear resist libs,
I know you hate Marjorie Taylor Greene, I do too. I even heckled her when I was in DC but please for the love of God do not donate to this guy.
Jon Tester, Sherrod Brown, Josh Stein, Jacky Rosen, and Ruben Gallego all need the money much more
I am not ashamed to be Israeli.
I am not ashamed to be Jewish.
I am not ashamed of anything I believe in.
I support a ceasefire and oppose senseless violence.
I support a Palestinian state and the end to occupation.
I hate Bibi and Hamas.
I just want peace for everyone

Populism means standing up for regular people.
That includes trans people.
That includes immigrants.
That includes gay people.
That includes drag queens.
That includes black people.
That includes Muslims.
That includes Jews.
That includes neurodiverse people.
Pro-Palestinian protesters have shut down the entrance to O'Hare Airport, causing chaos to travellers attempting to fly home to their families for Christmas.
Israel made a major mistake when they bombed the Iranian embassy.
Did they seriously think Iran was just going to do nothing?
The Israeli government is deeply unstable, violent, and erratic and may now push Israel into a war it cannot handle.
Disgusting.
2024 Predictions:
Bernie retires.
All of the squad survives.
Fighting in Gaza continues until Spring or Summer.
The UK holds a snap election and Starmer becomes prime minister.
Trump makes Kristi Noem VP.
A celebrity has their career ruined by an AI deep fake.

We can't afford Medicare for all.
We can't afford free college.
We can't afford a green new deal.
We can't afford universal school meals.
We can't afford universal childcare.
Yet, we can afford to spend $886 billion on the military. Priorities.

Israel has a right to exist.
Palestine has a right to exist.
Hamas is a terrorist group that uses human shields and wants to destroy Israel.
Israel's government is participating in an abhorrent occupation and settlement expansion in the West Bank.
All of these things are true
A campus LGBTQ group at Rice University ended ties with the university's Hillel because they felt that students would be uncomfortable with supporting Israel's right to exist.
This is the type of antisemitism that BDS breeds.
You and Isaiah Martin do not represent Gen Z.
Gen Z supports Medicare for all.
Gen Z wants to do something about climate change.
Gen Z supports talking about LGBTQ rights.
Gen Z supports canceling student debt.

I was at the Capitol on a school trip, I actually had just met with Lee Zeldin of all people and I saw her walking and I yelled at her "We would like a donation to the Jewish space laser fund"
Yes, Israel should exist and has the right to exist.
Yes, a state of Palestine should exist and has the right to exist.
Yes, Hamas is an evil terrorist group whose mission is to destroy Israel.
Yes, the occupation and settlements must end
KHive and Democratic establishment types need to learn that progressives and economic populists are more electable.
Fetterman won.
Lee and Deluzio won.
Kaptur won.
Peltola won.
Jackson won.
Frost won.
Cry about it but status quo establishment politics will lose you elections.
Ana Kasparian: JOE BIDEN IS A REPUBLICAN
Also Ana Kasparian: I don't care to work with any leftist ever again, I'm going to spread lies about puberty blockers and trans people, and I will praise Jese Singal, a clear transphobe.

Ro Khanna is not a fake progressive.
Elizabeth Warren is not a fake progressive.
AOC is not a fake progressive.
Katie Porter is not a fake progressive.
Jamie Raskin is not a fake progressive.
This is a very idiotic and disastrous comment that only serves as a reminder that Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian are no longer allies of the progressive movement.
I think Supreme Court got the affirmative action case right. I'm sick of the strereotypes that attach to all minorities because of this policy. It was necessary in beginning, but it has become counterproductive. But legacy admissions, which are more unfair, must also be banned.

418-0-1: House approved a bipartisan resolution condemning rape and sexual violence committed by Hamas in its war against Israel. Tlaib (D-MI) voted Present.

So, people who are some of the most enthusiastic supporters of Democrats will become Republicans? This is kind of like saying that resist libs will become Republicans.
I have never seen all of Lib ET unite against a Democratic candidate like they did with Tammy Murphy. Literally everybody from every faction hated her.
Congratulations Andy Kim and good riddance to Tammy Murphy
Truly stomach churning how many antisemitic tropes AOC managed to fit into this memo bashing
@AIPAC
and defending Jamaal Bowman:
1) Jews use dark money to buy political power & influence
2) Jews are a threat to our political movement
3) Jews participating in the political
Hot Take: The pledge of allegiance is cultish and feels like something from an authoritarian dictatorship.
Something like that has absolutely no place in a liberal democracy
Ana Kasparian recently went on a rant about how the term "Karen" is offensive. This is despite TYT uploading many videos with the word Karen in their title.
This is clear hypocrisy from someone who is evidently moving to the right and using garbage talking points.
Transphobia is unpatriotic.
Homophobia is unpatriotic.
Antisemitism is unpatriotic.
Racism is unpatriotic.

Biden: Gets 81% in the Michigan primary
Mainstream media: Look at how many Democrats voted against biden, this is a sign that he is a terrible candidate and will lose
Trump: Gets 68% in the Michigan primary.
Mainstream media: Donald Trump CRUSH Nikki Haley and wins easily
I'll concede that she was an effective speaker but I don't understand shilling over her. She's not all that amazing. She's a typical corporate Democrat.
Me: 10/7 was terrible, Hamas is a horrible terrorist group that wants to kill Israelis.
My replies: Why don't you think Israel is bad? You must support genocide
Me: Israel is indiscriminately bombing Palestinians and needs to stop
My replies: Why don't you think Hamas is bad?

Ah yes, universal school meals. The thing that is famously just like the Nazis.
How can you sleep at night when you have compared the genocide of millions of Jews to kids being able to get food?
@qwertz42069
Not every European country has full universal healthcare but even for the ones that do, this is just one issue. On a majority of issues Democrats aren't that different from the center to send to the left parties in those countries
I want to live in a country with universal healthcare.
I want to live in a country that has the world's best public education.
I want to live in a country with free college and childcare.
I want to live in a country with a strong social safety net.
Medicare for all? No.
Free college? Definitely not.
Paid leave? No way.
Universal school meals? Hell no.
$15 minimum wage? Nope.
Spending more on the military than the next 10 countries combined for wars we aren't fighting? Of course.
In light of Cenk and Ana being even more right wing, I was thinking about how many former leftists have grifted into becoming right wingers or "post-left". The list is very long
Anyone have any theories on why this happens? I have some of my own but I'm curious what others think
If Bernie Sanders had been elected president in 2020, purity testing leftists would have hated him once they realized that he couldn't implement all of his policies with the push of a button.
Common sense workers rights policies:
Raise the minimum wage to a living wage of at least $17 an hour
Guarantee paid family and medical leave
Transition to a 4-day work week
Give workers 35% of seats on corporate boards
Guarantee equal pay for equal work
PRO Act
Medicare for all is popular.

Let's celebrate Labor Day by supporting labor.
I have a genuine question. What is the appeal of DeSantis? All he ever does is talk about culture wars which nobody cares about. He never talks about any actual relevant issues and whenever he does (ie abortion) he has very unpopular positions. Why do so many moderates like him
The left needs to do better on foreign policy.
No, there is not an issue with bombing a pirate group that is attacking ships in the Red Sea and putting the lives of Americans on those ships at risk.
This isn't some protest against Israel. It's piracy and it's terrorism.
@mbzhad
@TammyMurphyNJ
If she wasn't the governor's wife, she wouldn't have gotten any support at all. She's done nothing in her life to make herself a viable Senate candidate and she's also a former Republican who opposed Obama twice. Her failure is a great thing for Democrats
Statement from Bibi Netanyahu:
"Previously, I was very committed to continuing the Israeli bombing of Gaza. But now that Cenk Uygur has won the Vermont democratic primary, I am officially announcing a permanent ceasefire and the immediate establishment of a Palestinian state."
Cenk Uygur is staying in the presidential race because he thinks he can win Vermont and "send a message". He thinks he can "end the war" with a Vermont victory.
Joe Biden is dead wrong for approving the border wall construction.
Building a wall is a complete waste of resources and also demonizes immigrants and destroys ecosystems in the Rio Grande.
No Democrat should support it.
