Flu is fucking bad this year and measles is so bad even Dr. Oz wants people to get a vaccine. Maybe people should mask.

This is the kind of party loyalty that is going to keep giving us Trumps. The Democrats need to be pressured to improve because half the reason we keep electing fascists is public dissatisfaction with the centrist monoparty.

That's a massive oversimplification. But...both parties are propped up by corporate interests, both parties support Israel and accept their money, both parties favor the surveillance state. The Dems only saving grace is that their tent contains progressives.

Sure, but that doesn't matter when most voters on both sides are low info. The Democrats have a very serious image problem and thrusting another mediocre cantidate in front of us that can't connect with voters just enhances that problem.

This is actually a terrible argument. I voted for Harris, but the Democrats have benefitted for a very long time from the overt evil of the Republicans as a cover for their covert evil. Biden was also supposed to "save democracy".

This, but also he clearly has connections to Bannon and the pol board on 4chan and the subsequent fallout from that (gamer gate, Q-Anon, Trump, etc) he is either directly or indirectly responsible for the current political predicament.

No. NO. This is bullshit. This is my money. We are Americans who stand for freedom and they are stealing our money and giving it to a foreign Nation who is bent on genocide. No. We need to stop them from doing this crap. We need to figure out a way to stop them.

Okay, but when everyone on the planet refers to the nation of Israel, surely you can acknowledge that what they mean is the current political entity, right? Surely you don't think they are referring to an esoteric concept from thousands of years ago.

I responded elsewhere. Consider me educated, but also infinitely more convinced that the project of Zionism is a mess.

Just looked this up. Jesus Christ. That literally just feels like Israel getting to redefine the term nation to deflect against criticism. What the fuck, dude...

I'm going to assume that you are going to say that a state is the governing body while the nation is the people collectively, or something along those lines. I suppose that's technically correct, but in common parlance the words are used interchangeably.

You are pretending the terms Nation and State aren't completely interchangeable.

The person I'm responding to called him a Nazi. I agree with you.

phillyjohn @johnneuman.bsky.social · 08/02/2026
I'm not saying I agree with his stance. But there is a level of purity testing on the left that ceases to be productive and just becomes silly. There are a lot of reasons for someone like Sanders to have a bad take on this issue that aren't, "because he's an ideological Nazi."

He was literally the first US senator to call it a genocide and he called on the US to end all arms sales to Israel and increase humanitarian aid. What are you *talking* about?

I'm going to keep posting this for everyone but especially centre-leaning liberals. If you're waiting for the system to correct itself or offer a chance to pull a "reset" lever.. Forget it. It's not happening. The police aren't coming to cart Trump to jail. You do it yourself or not at all.

One medium sized city in one state and they are slowly failing. They literally don't have the manpower to surround all the polls in all the districts they would need to in order to meaningfully impact a national election.

You can't be serious. This clown is your source?

phillyjohn @johnneuman.bsky.social · 08/02/2026
Goda is, frankly, a really bad source. He has a clear bias in favor of Israel and has gone on record saying he doubts the death counts amid other problematic stances. In fact, he has argued the opposite of what you already claimed in this thread, that criticism of Isreal is explicitly antisemitic.

phillyjohn @johnneuman.bsky.social · 08/02/2026
So where does the generally accepted stance: "Israel is perpetrating a genocide" land on that spectrum?

They don't even have a fraction of the manpower. This is just intimidation.

phillyjohn @johnneuman.bsky.social · 08/02/2026
Is criticism of the nation of Israel antisemitism? If not, where do you draw the line? I think that the group Stancil is responding to here are far too extreme, but I think him calling their actions antisemitism is off base.

phillyjohn @johnneuman.bsky.social · 08/02/2026
What you are arguing in this thread feels like it is muddying the waters, to me. You are advocating for a broad and nebulous definition of antisemitism.

Do you ever look inside of yourself and wonder why criticism of literally any other government's actions don't get lumped into a term for a specific sort of xenophobia, but when it's the Israeli government, criticism is automatically antisemitism?
