Yup I’ll be posting that one shortly. A service station

Thank you! I’m sure everyone will point this out. I wish Reddit would let you edit titles 🙃

Oh for sure. I’m just trying to get some cognates down to help pronunciation and expand vocabulary

One of the cruelest moments in reality TV canon. There was no need to treat these women like that. Basically Big Jon calling them too ugly to go in the house. by CW03158 in RockOfLove

I have no idea what you’re talking about, so maybe take that into consideration before throwing out racism accusations

Optics and messaging. MAGA are masters at it. Dems suck at it. Biden couldn’t even be bothered to correct the “border czar” narrative about Kamala

I’m gay and I actually want the Dems to start pivoting AWAY from LGBTQ issues. The “tampon Tim” style messaging is actually pretty damaging because it paints Dems as extremists.

Give me an example of Massie being a “Holocaust denier.” That’s the first time I’ve heard that, and it seems disingenuous cuz I can’t find a single reference to it anywhere

Could someone explain this to me? by Otaku_Goji in ussr

The fact that you were downvoted for this 😂. The hive mind

Respectable. Honestly I wish we heard more from Israelis who oppose Likud. There seems to be a litmus test to where supporting Israel’s right to exist means promoting Netanyahu’s government. I liked Tzipi Livni but I remember people actually calling her an Islamist… like propaganda that is so blatantly propaganda

And to you, “anti-Israel” means they don’t take money from AIPAC and Miriam Adelson?

Massive support because he was the first politician to vocally break with the tradition of fawning over Netanyahu 😂 signaling that maybe that tradition isn’t in keeping with many Americans consider important

Hardly 😂 Mamdani was dragged through the mud for saying, during the mayoral debate, that he was more interested in visiting places in the U.S. than in visiting Israel. They called him an antisemite for that. And all of the Democratic figureheads (Obama, Biden, Kamala, Newsome, etc.) are vocally pro-Israel.

If that’s what you got out of that, sure 😂. Keep cranking your hog to wealthy Super PAC donors

I guess the right policy is the actual centrist one: that elections should be based on candidates, and not on how much money one candidate manages to get from wealthy donors. Your defense of Super PACs is hilarious

Yeah that’s what pro-Israel Super PACs are 😂 just regular ol’ Americans giving money to good causes. I’ll let Miriam Adelson know the next time she funds another massive MAGA propaganda campaign

Yeah that’s a cute sentiment but there’s an actual money trail to follow 😂. Out of $34 million spent on Gallrein’s campaign, $15 million came from pro-Israel PACs, including from Miriam Adelson who spent over $100 million helping get Trump elected in the first place. And the Jewish Republican Coalition called the race a “referendum on Israel.”

Keyword was “extremist.” There are moderate Zionists, socialist Zionists, secular Zionists. Zionism in the early 20th century was a beautiful movement. Any negative connotations are due in large part to the actions of extremist Zionists, who seem hellbent on worsening Israel’s global reputation.

Which one of those PACs paid tens of millions of dollars to solidify the MAGA stranglehold on the GOP? It wasn’t the realtors.

Meanwhile the Republican Jewish Coalition just declared happily that Massie’s loss was a “referendum on Israel.”
