Huh. I got a mailer from a Zionist group supporting Harris, and I just assumed they knew I was Jewish and made some very bad assumptions, but now I wonder

cynicalgrrl.bsky.social•113 days ago

Zioness PAC? My daughter got that letter, too. That was a strange one but it seemed perfectly sincere.

pomegranatefish.bsky.social•113 days ago

Yeah

I received a similar text about Lanon Baccam in Iowa 3, a competitive district. No call to action, no named org, no answer when I asked who it was.

ranfuku.bsky.social•113 days ago

I got one of these and called them out immediately because they called her "VP Harris" lol. Too obvious

olliesowner.bsky.social•113 days ago

Who looks at a spam text anyway?

cynicalgrrl.bsky.social•113 days ago

My daughter got those! Mid-20s in SE Michigan.

sarahjeong.bsky.social•113 days ago

we traced the messages to a specific vendor that works with a conservative political consulting company, which has received money from various Republican PACs and!! also!! Tulsi Gabbard's PAC

neqone.bsky.social•113 days ago

Of course Tulsi fucking Gabbard would be in on this ratfucking operation...smh...

This has become an easy way to unsubscribe from their lists, and for that alone I really thank you for sharing this https://bsky.app/profile/bmceuen.bsky.social/post/3la7wwxkzit27

I don't know what conversation you are referring to, but yesterday I was barraged with a handful of messages here accusing Biden of genocide. I suspect this is the same group?

pokepocalypse.bsky.social•113 days ago

I block those folks.

letsberational.bsky.social•113 days ago

That's not my habit, but their comments included unnecessary insults. So, I took your advice. Thank you.

You can just say Russian asset PACs, it's shorter.

sarahjeong.bsky.social•113 days ago

anyways I think it's Not Good if voters look at a text message and believe it is from a candidate's campaign but it is in fact funded by the opposition

medialawprof.bsky.social•113 days ago

It is bad - and yet hard to make illegal. Texas' law outlawing this was struck down last year as applied to a guy who sent out fake texts.

morepete.bsky.social•113 days ago

Some states and cities have laws in which any such message has to acknowledge who's paying for it, but...nowhere near enough. It's upsetting Tulsi Gabbard can't go to jail for this.

She’s literally said that she supports Israel 100%.

It’s not a secret. It’s her stated policy.

🤔

lenorarose.bsky.social•113 days ago

But this same group is also reassuring some Zionists she supports Palestine.

matchateauwu.bsky.social•113 days ago

if they believe that when her and her husband and her VP are promising unconditional support for Israel's "right to defend itself" then they're just fucking dipshits.

lenorarose.bsky.social•113 days ago

So the fact both are being spread in a bid to increase divisiveness is apparently irrelevant to you? Then you're not worth discussing with.

lenorarose.bsky.social•113 days ago

I may have divisive opinions on a topic but if someone is literally running over to other people and pointing my views out SOLELY to provoke a fight, the wise person doesn't care if they're true or false, they care about not falling for "let's you and her fight" tactics and shit-stirring motives.

emphyrio.bsky.social•113 days ago

One thing is provably true and the other is provably false.

Harris supports the genocide with money and weapons. Pointing this out is not controversial.

lenorarose.bsky.social•113 days ago

Harris is vulnerable on this point with a segment of the electorate.

Genocide. She supports it.

They’re pointing it out to a targeted audience.

This is how politics works in the US.

lenorarose.bsky.social•113 days ago

So... just ignoring the whole segment where they're lying with the reverse to a different population because anyone who does what you want is good in your book -- nevermind all the ways they're more your enemy than she is.

Yikes.

emphyrio.bsky.social•113 days ago

Perhaps if she weren’t openly cheerleading a genocide it wouldn’t be an electoral vulnerability?
