Ah yes the "Jews secretly manipulating gentiles into doing things they didn't want to do" approach from the people who definitely aren't antisemites
Democrat Haley Stevens' Jewish fiancé is accused of masterminding her sudden switch to Republican candidate: 'Something snapped in her' trib.al/n9vGxmA

So hilariously revealing to see people who built brands the past decade by pretending to think some things are bigger than party loyalty now melting down when a Democrat valued something more than party loyalty.

It’s not the he disagrees with her, or is upset about her change of heart. He goes straight to calling her “evil.” They have to make her less than human, destroy her, maybe worse.

Has there EVER been a case where Democrats choose country over party? Ever?

Checking in on how fucking nuts Matt Lewis has gone now in pursuit of shilling for Democrats

Wanting El-Sayed to win is both anti-American and antisemitic.
Libertarians once again reminds us that they’re both spineless and useless.

My big takeaway as well. It's all BS and self-flattering logic from these people. "I am putting country over party. YOU are a sellout whore, and a fool besides!"
What an act.

They have never at any point cared about any of the neutral virtues they claim to espouse. It's just power for their side all the way down.
Haley Stevens is being called a traitor, but by reversing her endorsement of Abdul El-Sayed, she is showing exactly the kind of courage moderate Democrats once cheered, writes James Kirchick. thefp.com/p/haley-stevens-ab…

Note, once again, how much of the political damage was baked in before the Iran war began. One word: tariffs.

The biggest give away in all of this is an ethnic genocide supposedly happened and they are making jokes about it. It's now just a punchline for clapter.
Every single one of these people know that an actual genocide never happened.
Michael Che on SNL Weekend Update just said Israel’s record voter turnout is great “regardless of if you’re on the right side, or the left side, or the genocide.”
That’s not a joke. That’s a blood libel dressed up as comedy, broadcast to millions while Israelis just voted in massive numbers after years of war and terror.
This election shows a free, functioning democracy one in which had the highest Arab Muslim Israeli turnouts as well.
Calling the war in Gaza “the genocide” is the same ancient libels recycled for the camera.
Comedy stops being comedy when it launders the same false claim used to justify attacks on Jews.

Wil Wheaton is engagement-whoring, yes. But this brings to mind (yet again) that neither artists nor fans of the art have control over who finds the art meaningful, enjoyable, worthy of praise (or criticism) and so forth. Once you put something into the world creatively, it kinda becomes its own thing.
And it's not that uncommon for the person making the art to have no idea why the art has taken root in the souls of other people. Certainly Gene Roddenberry didn't understand his own creation.
And I have no doubt even if what Wheaton says is true—and isn't it convenient to put a political shout in the mouth of a dead man?—Stewart didn't understand why anyone Right-of-center would enjoy Next Generation, or his portrayal of Picard.

Who could have guessed that people who feel comfortable pushing open bigotry aimed at Jewish people are also comfortable aiming their hate at Black people…
If you're black, I have the easiest Halloween costume for you. Wrap an Israeli flag around you, and just start calling everyone you see an antisemite. Voila, you're @VanJones68.

Start trade wars and impose tariffs on allies. They stop buying our farmers’ crops. Then you import beef and piss off our ranchers. Then start and drag out a war that raises gas and diesel prices and piss off everyone else and make the farmers even more mad at harvest. Then do midterms.

I’ve said for a long time now that far too many people base their entire political ideology now on Trump (supporting or opposing).
But it really has been amazing to watch how many have abandoned all other views and standards because they now frame their politics that way.

I, for one, don't think that supporting an outright antisemitic far leftist to serve 6 years in the Senate is "defending liberal democracy."
.@SarahLongwell25: "Vote for Abdul El-Sayed. I think this is a mark of how important it is for me to defend liberal democracy. I will endorse candidates with whom I have big differences for the bigger picture of putting an enormous check on Donald Trump."

Everyone is fighting a battle you can’t see. These kids found out by trying to prank a struggling man. There only bad guys here are the ones pranking the Red Barron shirt guy … and people thinking he overreacted.
Am I alone in thinking it’s obscene this guy is getting worldwide acclaim & has had life-changing $ raised for this reaction? The prank is annoying. The frustration is fair. The reaction is totally disproportionate nearly having a mental breakdown over a kid trying a dumb prank. Neither party looks good in this. Am I wrong?
