but nothing can be solved without it.

I take your criticism - it was unnecessarily performative framing in order to make a point.

I know and see that, and it's shitty. I am specifically responding to Will's comment insinuating that this a uniquely YIMBY position

I've seen plenty of people tone policing the flags, from historians to pundits to politicians. The idea this is a uniquely YIMBY position is just absurd

Now you're just making up people to be mad at. I'm a white YIMBY who showed up at the SF protest last night with my USA flag & had no problem with the Mexican flags. The polite-police will always find something to be mad about, and if there were no MEX flags, they would have found something else

I have been a Dem for 40 fucking years. I have organized in swing districts, made thousands of calls, knocked hundreds of doors - can you even imagine how furious it makes me to hear you say "fuck the base, they'll vote for us anyway"? FUCK YOU

THIS. Almost every small city is suffering the second order effects of big cities' housing crises - but they don't want to build housing either!

If I have learned 1 thing from reading 3,000 NYT interviews with these "centrist" voters it’s that 1) they have absolutely no coherent set of policy beliefs, & primarily votes on vibes, and 2) the vibe they like is “a fighter who (they think) will fight for us”

and these fucking guys are still out here doing the “we lose bc the left has gone too far” schtick.

but because we will be sued and/or lose our funding at the hands of a hostile state that is policing the work of every business, organization and school. Our websites have been scrubbed, all of our decision processes upended,

I need every elected D to say exactly this, every day, 10 times a day. There is no other rational response to what's happening, and I bet they could actually get coverage 4 this, unlike with their simpering civility

The point of this thread is that there was another time when dems did not stand up against a terrible foreign policy bc there were risks, & when the terribleness of the war was laid bare, it severely damaged the dem brand. This is what will also happen with the D response to Gaza

Which means they have been taking the positions solely in regard to what their funders want, and that is . . . not a good look

Except that since early 2024, Dem voters have overwhelmingly been critical of Israel's actions in Gaza - the majority of democratic voters approved of the ceasefire resolutions & of conditioning aid on Israel's actions. Dem leadership is completely out of step w/ the voters
