That's it! Distract from inadequacy by hand waving away support for a genocide! That's the ole Democratic playbook!

Has it occurred to you that the kind of politician that will sell out to AIPAC to support a genocide is also the kind of politician that will have sold out to a miriad of other special interests and failed to inspire voters in a myriad of other ways?

This is the triangulation curse that Bill Clinton brought to Democratic politics that is perpetuated by the Democratic consultancy complex. This a-la-carte tailoring of policies to give just enough to each group to make them feel special. That stopped working decades ago, and the Democrats still cling to it. We need leaders who know wrong from right and aren't afraid to say so. We need leadership that can inspire a population that cares about something more than the bottom line. Democrats didn't just fail to win elections, they destroyed the soul of this country. Then the demons moved in.

People get a little bit annoyed when whiny edge lords try to get good people killed.

Except these are not the first no kings protests and the last ones were relatively peaceful. (Given their size)

The march isn't for those institutions. It's for the institutions that want to stand up to Trump but don't know if the people have their back. For instance, the judges that are currently keeping the Texas National Guard off the streets of Chicago.

I believe they should lay down their arms. I'm proud to be one of the first elected officials in the state who called for a ceasefire, and calling for a ceasefire means ceasing fire, that means all parties have to cease fire and put down their weapons.

Unless you drop everything after the first sentence, it's pretty clear to me what he is talking about. Has he ever once indicated that Hamas should disarm in anything less ambiguous? Is there any other position he has ever taken in relation to this or any other conflict that would indicate it is a position he would be likely to take? Has he accepted money from AIPAC or any other big money donor supporting the genocide of Palestine, or any other genocide? Is there any reason at all to make the worst possible presumption that can be made of what these words mean, when they are followed with the exact opposite explanation in the very next sentence? What the fuck is wrong with you that you think it's OK to be so dishonest?

You are 100% full of shit. There is absolutely zero ambiguity in what he said to anybody not trying hard to misunderstand it. You think he's trying to get back the Zionist vote by slipping in a subtle dog whistle? Yeah, that's plausible. You are full of shit, and you know you are full of shit, and you should feel bad.

Listen to the damn clip. It's perfectly clear what he is saying, despite your overly pedantic parsing of one exact phrase taken out of context.

Misleading headline. He called for both sides to put down their weapons in a cease fire. That's not a call for Hamas to disarm, unilaterally or otherwise. Someone is sowing division on the left here.

It's not like he couldn't afford one. He was just chasing the money. His listeners didn't want accurate facts, and neither did his sponsors.

It would send an awesome message if it helped.

The word terrorist is pretty functionally useless. One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist, but a fascist is a fascist. The word might be badly misused from time to time, but the but the whole MAGA enterprise is without question a fascist movement.

You mentioned Joe Rogan elsewhere. If Rogan is interviewing a fascist, then Rogan is a fascist. If Rogan is interviewing a socialist, then he is a socialist. He's just a mid-wit echo chamber who got captured by a right wing audience. I think he finally figured out that he fucked up, but can't figure out how to escape without losing his whole audience.

how does one actually define a fascist?

Ever heard of a dictionary? Wikipedia? This "Just asking questions bro" shit went out of style like 10 years ago. It doesn't make you broad minded, it flags you as empty minded. Youtube exists, go educate yourself. Don't put it on everybody else.
