If Abdul had lost, you’d be telling people to go vote for Steven’s right about now. Your Hakeem Jeffries backing party is corrupt to the bone. Own it.
Haley Stevens’ betrayal today shows us it’s not that progressive Democrats, or even democratic socialists, need their own party. It’s that politicians like Haley Stevens always had more in common with Republicans like Mike Rogers and Donald Trump than with the Democratic base. And now she admits it. That’s why it’s so important to run democratic primaries. It’s not enough to send Democrats to Washington, we have to send Democrats who are fighting for the things working class voters want!

Maybe more time spent scrutinizing Haley Stevens and less time demanding Abdul El Sayed denounce @hasanthehun might have helped avoid this scenario. Just a thought.
Standing with Miker Rogers is a betrayal of everything Haley Stevens has fought for her entire career. It's also a betrayal of all of her supporters that believed in her. I hope @AbdulElSayed has a strong victory on Tuesday and that all Democrats and like-minded independents support vote for him.

The deep state of Israel.
The Rogers spokesperson you see starting this press conference is Abby Ronson. She is currently registered as a foreign agent for the state of Israel, according to @DropSiteNews reporting today

What almost no one understands is that Netanyahu is ultimately a uniting force in Israel. He keeps it all together.

This will be the fourth time the Joint List comes in third. And each time prior it was with a significant (at least 15 seats) block. The only conclusion is that Palestinian Israeli votes don't count. That's how Israeli *democracy* works.
So Israel is a pluralistic democracy because Arab Israelis have full voting rights. Then a surge of Arab Israeli voting gives them an unprecedented number of Knesset seats, but because no coalition will include them in a government, Israel might have another election. Right?

New: An NYPD spokesperson confirms the police department no longer plans to enter into a no-bid contract with a controversial Israeli surveillance tech company — a reversal that comes after the procurement drew pushback from Mayor Mamdani's allies and civil rights advocates.

Considering she was once an El Al flight attendant, it's funny she'd say that phrase.
I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING Sara Netanyahu Is Having a MELTDOWN Over Israel's Election As Netanyahu scrambled to mobilize voters, his wife was heard SCREAMING in the background: "BUT WE WILL ALL DIE!" Apparently, losing power is a life-or-death emergency in the Netanyahu household. No more free help and laundry services.

Israeli democracy.
Israeli elections are like “The Genocide Coalition lost two seats to the Ethnic Cleansing Bloc, but neither achieved a clear majority. Both factions said the other was insufficiently bloodthirsty. “The ‘In The Process of Being Banned Entirely’ Arab Party picked up 2 seats.”

Israelis never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
ישראל עומדת בפני הזדמנות היסטורית חד פעמית להסיר את האיום הביביסטי אחת ולתמיד.

Some people are slow.
So it doesn't matter WHO wins. No matter what, they're a war criminal. In other words, it was never about Bibi. Got it..

Lol. Who's going to break and make a deal with the *Arabs*?
🗳️Exit polls: Netanyahu opponents projected to win 70 seats, including 17 for Arab parties; PM's block projected to win 50

So the Arabs voted in droves again?

And of course they won't be allowed to be part of any Israeli government for obvious reasons so really Palestinian Israeli votes don't count. See how Israeli "democracy" works?

And the Joint List will finish a strong third, for the third time since September 2019 - mind you Israel had elections in April 2019 too. Last time the Joint List ran was 2020. They won 15 seats.

Relatedly, I'd also say Netanyahu needs these elections. He can't really lose and not to have them causes more political problems for him.

Should these elections occur on Tuesday, they will be Israel's seventh general election since 2015 and also the first elections not called early since 2013. Think about that. There's a lot there.
