That's arguably everything since Blair became Labour leader, really. Starmer was the consequence of a politics built on the bedrock principle "we must get Rupert Murdoch on our side".

Every go "libertarian" I ever met admitted to voting Republican "because they're pro-business, they favor lower taxes and less regulation". The other "libertarian principles" that Republicans stand in firm opposition to were always less important to them.

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

Polonium and Lung Cancer
The alpha-radioactive polonium 210 (Po-210) is one of the most powerful carcinogenic agents of tobacco smoke and is responsible for the histotype shift of lung cancer from squamous cell type to adenocarcinoma. According to several studies, the ...

More than one? Michigan and Wisconsin, both w/large Arab-American Muslim populations; Arab-American voters were critical to Biden's 2020 victory in Michigan, Harris campaign said "fuck you" to those voters & sent ancient sex pest Bill Clinton to lecture them about how Palestinians deserved it.

Having lines you won't cross, when those lines are "I won't vote for anyone who supports genocide" and "I won't vote for anyone who supports dehumanising a minority population", is not a "purity test", it's ethical consistency. That you don't see those as red lines says more about you, honestly.

Don't boast about volunteering for a foreign military if you don't want people asking questions about your allegiance to a foreign state, then? Especially not if you want to run for public office? This shouldn't be hard.

Native American genocide in the US was a bipartisan affair, but Andrew Jackson, who really got the ball rolling, was a Democrat. The Democrats used to have "Jefferson-Jackson Dinners" until they realised that honouring a rapist and a genocidal lunatic didn't jibe with modern sensibilities.

"because the Democratic Party was steadfast in its support of a blood-and-soil ethnostate built on ethnic cleansing and currently carrying out an ongoing genocide", you mean?

Yes, but Herzl's main inspiration was 19C romantic nationalism--the same thing that led to "pan-Germanism" and the idea of "reclaiming historic German territory", "the greater Reich", etc (which is extremely similar in its invocation of millenia-old claims to the notion of "Greater Israel").

Replace "white" with "Jewish" and the fourteen words have basically *always* been Zionism's raison d'etre. Blood-and-soil ethno-nationalisms are all at bottom the same idea (whether it's the 1930's Germans, Israel, or now in the US MAGA).

Kind of, honestly? Sorry about what happened, but blaming people who weren't even in the USA when it did is just idiocy.

Moving to an already established city that had existed for 70 years prior isn't a crime. No-one was displaced or harmed by those actions; all of that happened decades earlier. This is a very different thing than a Zionist stealing the home of a Palestinian family in the West Bank.
