Cool story bro, she’s still a Nazi
Fuck Israel, genocidal scum!
This might be the one time it’s actually motived by antisemitism.
Still an evil bitch!
Don’t overthink it. If someone’s willing to work with you on something in earnest, take the opportunity.
Yeah what we’re questioning is the “in earnest” part, because in the past she’s * checks notes * she’s batshit crazy, and it worries me that I don’t know her goals here.
100% agree, but we can make crazy work if given the opportunity…just not holding my breath
This is a bad take. You really do need to think about who you stand with, even if they appear to align on one thing.
No. In politics, you have to work with opposing sides to get something pushed over the line.
This kind of thinking is why the political sphere is so polarized today. Conservative thinking is regressive and should be challenged, but if you can use them occasionally to push for progress in other areas, you absolutely should.
A lot of leftists gonna be real mad when they read this comment.
I think most leftists understand the difference between using someone and teaming up with them.
Are you suggesting the Bernie should tell her he doesn’t want her to support him and Gaza?
Is that what I said? Is that what “thinking about” something means to you?
You said it was a bad take when someone else said to work with people you don’t like but have the same goals. To me that implies you think Bernie should reject her support. I think the second part of your comment is valid, in that when working with a snake, one has to make sure they don’t get bit.
He shouldn’t acknowledge her support at best. At worst just say he appreciates any additional support in the important endeavor. End quote.
You have to reward the behavior you want to see. I don’t like her, and I think she’s done tons of horrible shit. But if she suddenly woke up tomorrow and because a leftist, I’d fucking cheer her on and become a supporter. Even if she was only doing it out of spite to republicans she felt wronged by. Because it’s more important that good shit gets done than that we hold grudges against people. So even though she’s not a full blown leftist right now, and probably never will be, I’m still going to cheer on the good behavior I do see and continue to call out and pushback against the bad behavior
Bernie needs every ally he can get, and honestly, republicans have a much better track record of actually passing legislation they want, so maybe some republicans having moments of clarity and supporting basic human rights is a damn good thing
It did wonders for Kamala.
Rare time I give MTG credit.
What timeline am I in?
It’s an ancillary one, so it’s always changing in unexpected ways. It’ll supernova soon, though, and we’ll all get shuffled off to a new one.
The weirdest
I think the archons of The Simulation are just fucking with us all at this point, to see how much absurd we’ll tolerate.
You know the past ten-ish years are enough to really have me seriously considering simulation theory.
It’s like someone applied a mod.
Oh no this is a modpack with “War Crimes Expanded”, “War Crimes Expanded 2”, and “Geneva Checklist” for rimworld, isn’t it?
That’s an improvement from just “worst”.
She cheers on children being deported from the US, but cares about children being starved half a world away? She’s not one for consistency, is she?
She does not care about Gazans. She’s an actual antisemite and Russian stooge. This is about hurting Israel to the benefit of Iran and, therefore, Russia. She also loudly opposed the strikes on Iran.
she got into congress talking about jewish space lazers. she’s actually an antisemite, but this is a case where her antisemitism is leading her to the right conclusion. work with her on the bill but hold her at arms length is the strategy. it’s like when you have someone experiencing an acute crisis but you’re ACAB. you work with the cops to resolve the acute crisis but you don’t let that let you trust the cops.
mtg is filled with hate. right now, in this moment, she just happens to hate the right thing to be helpful
“I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to pay for genocide in a foreign country against a foreign people for a foreign war that I had nothing to do with,”
It’s consistent from the viewpoint of not wanting to pay for what happens to those children abroad or at home, no matter the nature or morality of the action. Also: Look at the use of the word ‘foreign’ and think about, who she means with each use. Not with the ‘right’ intentions, she ends up at the correct policy.
One is war and the other is disenfranchisement dressed up as war. The latter is the entire republican platform.
Confusing times for the guilt-by-association crowd…
Not really… Bernie isn’t reaching out to her. He cannot control her opinions, and just because they appear to maybe agree on one thing, doesn’t mean he’s “associating” with her. That’s not how it works.
That’s the point…
Thank God she saved Gaza.
