Insane that Mamdani is being asked to condemn words he has never said while being accused of not saying words he has repeatedly said in multiple venues over the course of months

Get the fuck all the way out of here. This is the kind of right wing anti-Semitism that Democrats are giving cover to each time they attack Mamdani based on lies and nonsense.

The level of bald-faced, open racism that we are now seeing is simply gobsmacking. Far worse than anything I can remember in the US in my lifetime.

Trump won because a bunch of spoiled leftists refused to do the decent thing and support the Democratic presidential nominee. Here's why I'll be voting for Eric Adams or Andrew Cuomo in November.

Anti-Israel sentiment is often treated as if it's a) the product of mass antisemitism or b) weird hypnosis whose tricks we'll never understand. But the truth is pretty simple: people don't like Israel because Israel is committing genocide. That's it. www.discourseblog.com/p/people-don...

One of the first steps towards the camps in interwar Europe was the stripping of citizenship from “undesirable” groups

There's a lot to be said about identity, solidarity. But a simple place to start: the people who are willing to fight for their neighbors when their neighbors have different problems have a very, very good chance of having neighbors to fight with when you all share problems

none of the democrats claiming that the left is dragging the party down could replicate this in their wildest dreams

It’s hard not to see this simply as a case of a politician siding with his biggest funder (AIPAC, by a mile) over the people he theoretically represents. www.opensecrets.org/members-of-c...

CALL ERIC SWALWELL AND TELL HIM TO APOLOGIZE TO ZOHRAN MAMDANI AND HIS CONSTITUENTS FOR LYING

I have literally never seen a graph like this once in all my years of being an election sicko 18-24 always lags, always, it’s just a natural law of politics and this is the guy they want to throw out of the party?!

you know, if i were in the position of interviewing jeffries here, i would ask the congressman to specify exactly when and where mamdani used that language.

He did clarify this position on this phrase that he did not himself say! He gave a super nuanced answer where he expressed empathy both for people who feel threatened by this phrase and also for the wide semantic range of the word "Intifada" in Arabic, and why it might feel empowering to others.

last night the republicans passed a budget to turn america into a nation of roving masked thugs and concentration camps and this is what democrats are doing still on sunday morning news programs instead of telling their interviewers to shut the fuck up and stop changing the subject

The problem here isn't just the answer but the question. Mamdani has denounced antisemitism and clarified his position on this random slogan other people chanted at a protest numerous times. This is only a "tough question" if you think it's your job to repeat bad faith Republican attacks.

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

Nobody's ideologies are going to be an exact match. If they demand that from you it's a cult. Either Lander or Mamdani (I think it was Lander) who said if you like 9 or of 12 of my policies you should vote for me but if you like 12 or of 12 of my policies you should get your head checked

Maybe I'm getting old but the shit Al Franken did to multiple women has been an immediately fireable offence for sexual harassment at any mid-sized plus corporation since the 1990s Franken dead enders are freaks

I was just saying to some friends tonight that the watching this unfold makes me believe the Democratic Party needs to be completely burned down.

I think I underestimated the lengths the Dem establishment would go to to ratfuck Zohran’s campaign in the general. What absolute ghouls

I genuinely cannot believe how many Democrats are spending their energy on destroying Mamdani when the GOP is trying to turn ICE into a full on secret police by drastically raising their budget

Indeed. This is of course not the first time that we've seen words from a Democrat blatantly misrepresented to claim anti-Semitism, but this time other Democrats are leading the charge. Multiple Dem members of Congress are brazenly lying about this. They're burning down our own party, and for what?

It is a damning indictment of our country that those who take away health care access from millions — while pursuing more tax cuts for the wealthy — are called “deficit hawks” — rather than the more appropriate term — sociopaths.

The president and vice president, like most Republicans, think it is good that a christian fanatic murdered an elected Democrat, and they pretty clearly hope there will be more murders.
