To insist that bipartisan consensus on Zionism is inevitable in an era where establishment dems are at an all time low of approval and Israel has the support of about 10% of the democratic voter base. After watching the NYC mayoral primary electorate shift cataclysmically to a younger and more progressive demographic after the media decided to make the election a referendum on Zionism that they LOST. It's just pure careerism and cowardice.

No, we probably cant change ritchie torres or bill clinton's mind on this issue, but the millions of people alienated by genocide and fascism who would have been happy to vote blue no matter who previously can and are being radicalized to demand something better. Contra's response is to tell them to fuck off, pipe down, and stop ruining Mimosas.

All of this really amounts to narcissism, whether it's her or Brianna Wu, the real issue that cant be stated explicitly is that "activism" for them is synonymous with making money from your media career and hanging out with celebrities.

Any ask beyond that becomes offensive and shrill, and everyone who might pressure you to say something that could jeopardize your next patreon paycheck or (god forbid) cause Hillary to cancel brunch is radical, hateful, and actually fighting for a lost cause. Unlike Contra, the person who will carry her bitterness about Kamala Harris' 2024 loss to her grave, learning nothing.

At least 50,000 dollars was spent on focus groups in the DC area with the most off putting cretins on the planet to generate the opinion "bacon is a spice" which amounts to a tepid pop culture joke from 2011.

Not an AI expert, but im guessing what happened was they added a bunch of training data from the alt right internet, places like gab, bitchute, /pol/ etc. and just stuffed it into Grok without vetting any of it for the stuff you arent allowed to say outright. Absolutely hilarious.

MAGA-Endorsed Zionist extremist group Betar protesting Police in Lakewood, NJ after they jailed a Jewish man for allegedly propositioning a 15 year old.

Insane footage. CWs for SA, horrible racism against the teenager who is Mexican.

Is that better heat distribution why bird's eggs have the same shape?

Americans dont tend to have coherent political views. A lot of NYPD officers probably voted for the guy.

I have no concept of Iranian politics but after years of zionists advocating a secular civil society revolution in Iran it would be hilarious if somehow it finally happened over the supreme leader's refusal to authorize nuclear weapons to deter israel.

Boss call was made

Agent 47 getting ready for the easiest mission of all time.

"German-Israeli Christian Zionist" is just a polite way of saying "spawn of satan"

Harden your heart, oh Jezza

Is the purpose of this exercise just to have something for Russia to sign in case someone pulls off a coup?

Saw a lib zoomer with Palestine, Ukraine and China flags in their display name.

They want zoning reform, but are diametrically opposed to being part of an economically populist program which includes zoning reform.

If a Bernie sanders type politician started talking about zoning reform, they would pivot to something else.

Just like "popularism", "effective altruism", "YIMBY" etc, it's just a cudgel against the left to assuage voters' fears about oligarchy and redirect populist demands into something that's more acceptable to capital.

If you point any of this out, they accuse you of being a luddite degrowth fanatic who just doesn't want to "build stuff", if you question whether deregulation is the best way to "build stuff" they just stop talking.

I've never seen anyone who defends Biden's Ukraine policy contend with the fact that both sides seem to have roughly similar casualty rates, but Russia is bigger and has more people so they will inevitably win unless Ukraine can take out like 3 Russians per casualty. They can never connect the dots between their desired end result and the actual reality of the conflict.

I keep thinking about how in 2022 the progressive caucus was forced to retract a letter calling for negotiations. Ukraine was at the peak of its negotiating power and Russia had mostly been pushed back by its fall counteroffensive. Now Ukraine has lost more land, hundreds of thousands more soldiers, and is dealing with an unfriendly leadership in Washington.

For his part, Biden left office without any concrete notion of what an end to the war would look like. Some people are convinced that continuing arms shipments will inevitably lead to Crimea being retaken or Putin being toppled, but dem leadership has only gestured to simplistic, patronizing aphorisms and hypotheticals while Trump's people get to seem like the adults in the room.

Peak Langley would have put cyanide in his ketamine within hours. Deep State falloff is legendary.

I don't think your issue is that the article is biased, it seems like the outlet is just not sufficiently deferential to the ideological line of the US Intelligence and Defense communities and that's enough to get you to dismiss it outright.

You don't have to try and browbeat people into voting for the dems anymore, the election is over.
