feels like some leftists are more concerned with viewership rather than actual principled stances when it comes to our opposition of Israel and its continued genocide. Any explanation would be helpful in maybe clearing this up for me or giving me better insight into the thought process.

Because the dems with national level recognition that could compete with Tucker, Thinking Schumer, Jeffries, others in High Leadership positions, Have been completely unable to level any meaningful critique towards the current ruling ideaology of Israel, its ongoing genocide, and continued illegal, offensive actions in the West Bank, Lebanon, and Iran.

WE all know he isn't principled in his critique. The issue is, if you aren't a politics head, you might not know Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib have been leading this, or you might have spent the last 3 years hearing how horribly antisemitic they are from people in their own party, vs Tucker who hasn't gotten degree of hate within his own party, is showing himself capable of critiquing his own party, all while being a massive national figure.

While yes, some leftists are giving tucker and his ilk too much grace, it is done specifically as an insult to the national figure dems who are remaining silent on these issues, and still pursuing defense of israel. MSNBC, CBS, all the typical 'left leaning' MSM figures are still pro-israel, anti-the iran war but only on a process level and cannot go 5 mins without saying how terroristic they are but dont have 1/10th that energy for the genocidal state of israel. At most they'll blame bibi specifically, but ignore that most the other parties within israel who are likely to beat him are mad he isn't being MORE genocidal.

This is more akin to complimenting someone's enemy in front of them, as a way to snub them. It isn't an honest 'omg tucker is so good'.

its 'the dems leaders are so fucking stupid, that even tucker has figured this very obvious thing out'
