this is a criticism of a random liberal

Because Buttigieg would promote neoliberal economic policy, Hank. And that is not the left a lot of us want to see. Hope this helps.

sincerely, thank you

like I want the clip and details where he says "Israel has the right to defend itself" pretty please. And it may sound weird, but I don't like leaning on google when that takes away from such a (potentially) nice interaction like this one. Community n shii

here's what you told me:

"Bernie said Israel has the right to defend itself at every one of his rallies. JK he actually just said it at the rally I was keeping up with (and therefore could be one/a few rallies in a haystack of rallies where he doesn't say that)"

I don't see why I shouldn't ask
April 16, 2025 at 7:07 PM
that's not very reassuring for what I'm attempting to examine in this thread of discussions. I would prefer you at least point me to which rally, what time, et cetera.
April 16, 2025 at 7:04 PM
I genuinely don't understand why you're reacting this way. & I know I'm not entitled to that — I am sorry
April 16, 2025 at 6:55 PM
ah geez, ok
April 16, 2025 at 6:52 PM
because I've had this take before and I realize I had nothing to substantiate it, I wanted to test the waters on that, also my bad
April 16, 2025 at 6:51 PM
I am not trying to aggravate you — I admit I shouldn't have implied you were a member of Empire that merely hates Empire does nothing more, my bad.

I'm just trying to look into this "Bernie is a Zionist" thing with a tablespoon of skepticism.
April 16, 2025 at 6:51 PM
also tell me you didn't understand what I was saying without telling me you didn't understand what I was saying
April 16, 2025 at 6:49 PM
can you share this with me?
April 16, 2025 at 6:48 PM
didn't need to be an ass about it :| I guess we're still on twitter
April 16, 2025 at 6:45 PM
WTF AT EVERY RALLY? I want to believe this but that is insane
April 16, 2025 at 6:45 PM
but we can disagree on agreeing that our morals agree I suppose
April 16, 2025 at 6:29 PM
If you don't give a fuck why he does what he does specifically then I'm sure you're never gonna get into how we can stop the genocide in gaza specifically. These are the characteristics of a citizen of Empire who merely hates Empire and does nothing more about it.
April 16, 2025 at 6:28 PM
Let me be transparent with you:

I have my morals, and they agree with you.

But our morals will not stop a genocide, and sometimes (in ways we do not often immediately see) they will get in the way of stopping that genocide.
April 16, 2025 at 6:25 PM
this is good! how can we characterize this inability? What is causing that inability? Because that's the interesting part.

What makes Bernie unable to denounce a genocide? Maybe we can attack that instead of the man himself.
April 16, 2025 at 6:21 PM
I'm not trying to debate... :( you have a good day too.
April 16, 2025 at 6:18 PM
to blame silence as complicity is a huge slippery slope when you, I, and Bernie are all in the core of Empire. There are endless ways in which I can criticize you for countless other leftist issues for just being inside the core.

this is not the rhetoric we should adopt
April 16, 2025 at 6:15 PM
I am simply worried, and curious, about purity politics developing here.
