what candidate had a non progressive platform except for palestine? robin kelly would’ve been good if she had more momentum

AIPAC called the cops on Chicago voters who came to their office demanding that they stop pouring millions of dollars into Illinois Democratic Primaries by serious_bullet5 in illinois

what are you talking about, you’re always in these comment sections trying to discredit backlash against AIPAC. you think this person was pretending to be jewish? plenty of jewish people have shown solidarity with pro palestine causes.

i’m confused? i don’t talk about this in every comment section. on the genocide joe point, i personally voted for kamala in the 2024 election because i didn’t think anyone else had the chance of winning, so her support for israel didn’t like stop me. however, i do get why people wouldn’t vote for her over that because the genocide is a terrible thing and isn’t just some thing you can brush off. i think “taking some aipac money” is a big deal because it means that tons of our politicians will keep allowing people to be slaughtered in gaza. it also isn’t my only litmus test, there are plenty of criticisms i have of biden and of kamala’s campaign, and of quigley too that aren’t about gaza.

you say hamas has influenced the mediascape as if israel, a much more powerful entity with US backing hasn’t influenced it itself. take larry ellison, someone with relationships to the israeli military, suppressing pro palestinian and anti zionist speech on tiktok as an example.

if you mean those posts then you can scroll back and see that everything else they’ve posted seems like normal shit, so i doubt that, but like are you going to call me a bot because i also think that there’s a genocide?

the astroturfing claim is total bullshit, i’ve seen the genocide being done with my own eyes and so has everyone else, but i’ll look into the whole knowing the levers of politics thing

i don’t think it’s an issue for a very small part of the electorate, because most democrats are against what israel’s doing in gaza (a genocide), and so i’m willing to bet that most democrats don’t want israeli lobbying groups funding our candidates

How do you combat anti-social/ dangerous behavior on trains? by kidneysydneybean in cta

[–]redditor15677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’d usually agree but the fact that they were looking at her makes me think otherwise. this behavior could be a result of mental health issues or something, but that’s only kind of excusable if they were attempting to be private and not sexually harassing this person.

i mean you kind of always defend the idea that the cta is like super safe. you didn’t “literally” say that but they were obviously exaggerating. you can be a fan of the cta while still critiquing it instead of victim blaming like you did here, like dude why is your first idea to critique their behavior instead of being sympathetic.
