@RememberUsAlways Thank you. There needs to be a more moderate alternative to Ilhan Omar.

All the JD's are antisemites; some are just louder than others. The DSA, being communist in the Soviet mold, is necessarily antisemitic.

@kolev Thank you for asking that. Google doesn’t always provide helpful answers. @TruthSandwich @RememberUsAlways

@TruthSandwich Never heard of them. I probably don't want to become acquainted with them. It will just make me lose more faith in humanity. @AlliFlowers @RememberUsAlways

I prefer to distinguish between my hopes and what the evidence shows.

Ironically, I had a positive view of Bernie when he first showed up on the national scene, but he's proved my initial impression wrong time and time again.

@RememberUsAlways @kolev @AlliFlowers

Only because he Berned democracy to the ground in his quest to start the glorious communist revolution. He's an accelerationist.

@TruthSandwich @AlliFlowers @RememberUsAlways I generally support most of those positions, I just disagree on Israel and Egypt. They just sound like regular Green politics.

@kolev @AlliFlowers @RememberUsAlways

You can't evaluate populism in terms of policy. Populism entails demagoguery, hence pandering.

It was like when Clinton ran on raising the minimum wage to $12 and Bernie outbid her with $15. It's easy to promise more, difficult to deliver, but populists only care about the former, never the latter.

And, of course, in the end, we didn't get any increase, because we needed to win more seats, not promise harder.
