you're proving my point by listing people as progressives, who themselves don't identify as that anymore

Can you name a prominent leftist politician or commentator that you believe is antisemitic? Just because someone watches Candace Owens and isn't maga doesn't make them a progressive.

This then gets used by mainstream democrats to label all progressives as antisemites and continue to defend Israel (which happened in 2024 and led to trump winning again and the party being at historic levels of unpopularity).

Wouldn't people watching Candace/Fuentes/Tucker by definition not be "on the left"? My issue is that antisemitism gets pushed at the highest levels of the government on the right, but then people do "both-sides" by comparing it to some randos who say they like mamdani and are labeled leftists.

I don't think a few schizos with incoherent beliefs based on low information means that this is a "both-sides" issue. I see more concern trolling progressives to call us antisemitic than I do of people who are really leftists being antisemitic.

Got in back and forth on here last night with paul f tompkins where he reposted a bunch of blueanon junk and I responded with your posts. Just led to more people calling me a nazi.

And to preempt getting called a nazi for using twitter screenshots, you can look at this dude's account for a second and see by his posts and who follows him that he's a smart, reasonable person.

Fine if you don't like Platner, just saying that account is brain poisoned online lib propaganda for morons.

probably because it's true

You're posting like he's the centrist or a risk in the general when he's the only progressive candidate and many polls show him with a better chance to flip the seat instead of Janet Mills, an 80 year old establishment dem. You're brain has been cooked by the bluesky echo chamber

for a leftist you're sure doing a lot of blueanon platner posting

Hey Paul I know you probably won't believe me bc bluesky is a lib bubble, but this is qanon levels of crank bullshit

Most progressive candidate in the race and polls show he has a better chance to flip the seat than 80 year old Janet Mills. All the momentum is in his favor. Great pro-trans statement today. Fine to not like him, but thinking he's an electoral risk is bluesky bubble (people will now call me a nazi).

name of joe weisenthal's band

Obama such a good public speaker that I understand how the pod save guys gave themselves west wing brain

There was a girl on my little league team in like 1994

Here's Sarah gloating that she and her neocon buddies took over the democratic party a few days before Kamala lost the popular vote to Trump. She's a big part of the problem.

I like Adam, but it is funny to see this in the atlantic, a publication almost entirely geared towards providing justification for the american leadership class to avoid accountability

Really good piece. I've always thought the "it allows us to get more accurate info" was a pretty transparent lie from the people who benefit financially.

Sinema showed that she was no friend to progressives before she was elected to the Senate. Sure anything can happen, but I don't think it's fair to act like Platner is equivalent now.

So you trust your gut that Collins is going to get reelected, over the polls that show Platner with a big lead on her? You think the polls are fake?

Got called a nazi on here yesterday by a bunch of people bc I said that Platner has a better chance to flip the seat (based on polls)

I tried to make the point on here that platner/talarico have a better chance of flipping their seats blue (based on polls) and people called me a nazi. This place is more of a bubble than twitter now.

bunch of people on here calling me a racist for saying that talarico has a better chance to flip the seat in texas

Tried to make this point on here a few months ago but deleted the post bc a big account mocked me and it was all people telling me I was a moron

If you believe anyone but the most internet-poisoned weirdos are thinking this way you really gotta get off the computer for a little

He's both the most left candidate and has the best chance to win, seems like a no-brainer if you're progressive (no shade to you)

It's giving The Clash (compliment)

if it's one of the many tools, then seems fair to explore it

You tone-policed in op by saying "defund the police" = bad
