The Hasan Piker Problem and the DSA Thread

Or the DNC recognizes them as a problem and starts to defund them. :laughing:

Speaking of high profile
Dem pushback:

And his thread is very exciting:

What will happen when the educated, discerning bigots incite the reactive rabble to cause violence against “the bad Jews” and their Jewish, Israel hating allies get caught in the crossfire?

Blame Trump?

Or…

Yep

I’m glad the left is seeing Booker as clearly as the right does. :joy:

Zionist establishment Democrats? Seems unlikely but one can hope.

That’s certainly nothing new!

I’m glad that Democrat politicians are finally engaging the anti-Semitic wing of their party, which is still growing.

Recently listened to a podcast with UVa Civil War prof Gary Gallagher. I swear, it’s as if George McClellan is still in charge of the Democrats.

So many strong rhymes between McClellan’s party leadership 1863-64 and the DNC 2024-26. The inability to perceive clearly reality, the vitriolic fomenting, the unwillingness to cultivate and support national unity, the inability to foresee political violence.

Opposition to Israel, its genocide, or our enabling of and support for it gets you called anti-Semitic sooner or later.

:yawning_face:

Possibly, but that’s not what I’m referring to.

I’m hearing more Americans who are saying ugly things about Jews, not Israelis. More and more I talk with people who forego the fancy debate language re:Zionism and are willing to say what they mean. I hear it in bars, I overhear it in restaurants, I hear it at baseball games, I hear it in the gym.

I think Democrats will lose the battle to paper it all over with their PC distinctions between Zionism and the Jews, seems to be getting outside their control.

You’re always referring to something that’s not actually being discussed. You think that these people you hear (I don’t) represent a wing of the Democratic party that’s being “taken on”?

:ok_button:

I think they represent a growing number of Americans period. These bits of conversations, nobody prefaces them with a statement about which party they belong to.

this is the result of Israel conjoining the two things for so long. it’s their point.

What you’re saying now doesn’t square with this.

Naturally. It’s not surprising to be critical of (funding, being complicit) unrestrained killing and destruction.

It is hard to tell where one thing begins and the other ends, with many.

“Their” point is to grow anti-Semitism? :thinking:

What I think I hear, especially in bars, is more akin to a transfer of frustration (with their lives, with their situation) onto a group no longer protected by the PC police. Also known as classic anti-Semitism.
