News I don't like is fake

[n0el]

Well? @fightinfrenchman are you going to admit that you are wrong?

[tedere12]

This never happens, why now?

[fightinfrenchman]

@n0el No because I'm not. I'm not saying she is necessarily anti-Semitic, and I agree that Republicans are acting in totally bad faith by accusing her of that, but her comments definitely use anti-Semitic tropes

like what? could you elaborate more on that

Other than quoting a music lyric which she apologized for, what else is there? You mentioned "dual loyalty", which is a major right wing talking point, but she never said that. So again, have your read her arguments? Do you not agree with her?

"She said "It's all about the Benjamins baby". While she was right, this wasn't really an appropriate way for a member of congress to phrase a criticism in relation to Jewish people. However, there is nothing overtly racist and it is the absolute height of irony that republicans are crucifying her over it. They don't really care what it is she says, they just dont want someone who is so blatantly non christian in congress.

@spanky4ever I am a left-leaning liberal but not a socialist.

Really, I do not buy that at all, based on your posts here, and your support for a "moderate" shill like Hillary Clinton in the past and your Amy Klobuchar at the present
is it a joke
I wanted to share this video with you, from one of my favorite YouTubers. It smashes the picture of white Bernie bros

@n0el Let's see if they can win a primary first

@spanky4ever I do love Hillary

[Goodspeed]

Remember, moderate means something else in the USA @spanky4ever

[spanky4ever]

Remember, moderate means something else in the USA @spanky4ever

yeah. I know, it means pretty far to the right in EU standards, or any sane standards

Pete Buttigieg is quite charismatic, I think he will shine in the debates

[Dolan]

Tbh, my impression is that people in the USA still want to vote for someone that gives off an impression of power. No wonder incumbents tend to get re-elected.

I was impressed

Can someone link me to the thing by Pete buttigieg?

@spanky4ever He's gonna win us Texas

[spanky4ever]

@spanky4ever He's gonna win us Texas

could b, what about the other states?

Pretty much irrelevant imo, at this point I'm assuming Florida is in the bag because of the success of the 2018 initiative to increase voting rights

If that should turn out right (doubt it) what would you win?

Having a president that is better than Trump, which so far any of the Democratic candidates (even Tulsi Gabbard) would succeed in doing
