And then gay marriage happened anyway! That series of events left an indelible impression on Democratic strategists. The lesson is seared into their minds in perpetuity. 063

Rebecca Cohen @gynostar.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I wish you all could see how dumb the whole progressives vs centrists beef is. I'm not saying oh we must come together and be united or whatever, I'm just telling you the back-and-forth sounds more insular, tribalist and reactionary than thoughtful or constructive. 1102
Rebecca Cohen @gynostar.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Look if it were official GOP policy to round Jews into camps and some Dem candidates were like "what if we just make them wear yellow armbands?" I'm gonna be honest I would have a lot of trouble voting for any of those Democrats. Not making an argument about strategy here, just stating how it is. 1142

Rebecca Cohen @gynostar.bsky.social · 25/08/2026It depends, e.g. "Zionism" could mean... -Unconditional support for Israel's or the IDF's actions -Opposition to Palestinian rights and self determination -Israeli right wing nationalism and/or its backers -Religious Zionism -Christian Zionism -Kahanism (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahanis...)en.wikipedia.orgKahanism - Wikipedia 100
Rebecca Cohen @gynostar.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I need some folks to know that when you say "Zionists," to many Jewish people it doesn't sound a whole lot less antisemitic than just saying "Jews." I tell you this not to accuse anyone of antisemitism, but on the assumption that you'd rather not give the appearance of it when it can be avoided. 5160
