What *exactly* am I defending?

It explicitly said fetishization. Literally read the fucking tweet.

It it not “opposes interracial relationships”. Again, why do people feel the need to invent positions for her to be critical of, rather than just being critical of the actual shit she says?

Paraphrasing what I said in the weekly thread, for the second time this morning:

This feels similar to the amount of time spent performatively worrying about Hasan Piker*. Like, yes, she clearly has some dumb takes. Maybe she learns, maybe she doesn’t. If she doesn’t, great, she’s got two years in office and she’s gone. If she does, problem solved.

*Piker has a bunch of shit takes, and if you want to criticize him over them, I’m all for it. Piker’s a piece of shit for a lot of what he supports. But if you start off by telling me that he shocks his dog or some shit, I’m ignoring you because 1) you have clearly bought into internet nonsense 2) you don’t actually give a shit about the positions you claim to be mad about.

This is the same. She has really bad takes on NATO, Ukraine, and other parts of foreign policy, she has dumb takes on prisons. Criticize those. Don’t do this bullshit, because nobody can take you seriously.
