I don't even think it's *just* the content of the ad that that's cowardly (though, it *is* that). I'm listening to her voice and looking into her eyes: she even LOOKS scared! She looks like someone is holding a gun to her head off camera. Jesus, where does the DSCC find these people?

SC Dem Senate nominee Annie Andrews released an ad calling trans women "biological men." She embraces sports and surgery bans for youth. Her campaign even says she won't work to overturn the HRT/blocker trans youth ban. She once argued against capitulation. Subscribe to support our journalism.

To be clear, I'm not saying that's what socialism is. But it is historically, how Americans colloquially define socialism and communism

And guess what, "October 7th" is going to be remembered the same way. Palestinians didn't "Charlie Kirk-ify" October 7th. Zionists did that.

It WAS the important takeaway from that event. I mean, you're in the minority here. People remember 9/11 largely as the Bush admins Reichstag fire: An excuse for a group of racist, murderous right-wingers to take our rights and slaughter Arabs in the Middle East to steal their wealth.

There is absolutely no form of resistance to genocide or imperialism that liberals will EVER find acceptable (other than "bearing witness to suffering"). So, no, we don't bother playing your stupid, disingenuous rhetorical games.

On the one hand, "Brit food bad" is a really dumb, tired, outdated schtick. On the other hand, you're right, it really does seem to reveal that the "come on, it's just bantz mate" country is apparently full of people who love to dish it out, but very much cannot take it.

I just feel sorry for these people now. They've made the calculus that trying to yell at each individual left-wing voter is less of a waste of time and effort than trying to get an elected Dem politician to listen to someone other than a major donor. And the depressing thing is: they're right!

I hear you. I understand what you are saying here. It is, I'm sorry, also nonsense. Just because I don't agree with it, doesn't mean I didn't listen or didn't understand it.

I've been listening. We've all been listening to this nonsense for the past day. Just because I recognize it as nonsense doesn't mean I haven't been listening to it.

They will do this because they are the type of person who can be pressured by donors and the NYT, and never by their constituents.

So historically, we have seen that the hypothetical Dem in question, once elected, actually WILL vote to end trans kids' healthcare. Probably in a "compromise" with the GOP to avoid a government shutdown (a compromise where we, of course, get nothing in return).

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

After all this time, are there really still members of any left wing movement who don't understand that the British media's primary objective is to slander that movement, and to work to see it fail? Does that really still need to be explained to anybody?

He doesn't have to be on the back foot! He could back up his party's constituency and forcefully argue the case (basically, the opposite of what Corbyn did). I mean, if he chooses to cave to media pressure, then that's on him, and he was never gonna be the guy anyway.

Tom Morello didn't make her lose. SHE chose to agree with Trump about immigration, and with Biden (and Trump) about Israel

This is one of the accounts that didn't give a shit that ICE was doing all of that under Biden. That's probably why the Laikin Riley-Party deliberately chose to agree with Trump about how America has too much immigration. I'M not saying they were the same, THEY said it during the campaign.

Being a member of virtually any synagogue in the UK as a Jew is now racist behaviour according to Green Party policy.
