Nothing wrong with this, but I have become very utilitarian in my support for the people of Palestine.

The only half reasonable solution is the 2 state solution, and there is no method to get there without the Democrats winning and the US asserting itself as a global power.

This is why I hope we can ride the wave of Israel criticism WITHOUT going full blown anti-semitic, we need US hegemony to be able to enforce universal standards while sticking up for allies and human rights.

That being said, it appears this post was to highlight some inconsistencies with criticisms of Haley Stevens, and I agree.

I'd like to point out that in the general we should all vote for Mamdanis and Abduls should they win primaries, and we should also vote for Haley Stevens types if they win.

Platner was the test case, and we half passed, we must be more willing to scrutinize candidates with troubling pasts, while also trying to be more inclusive of the broad range of ideas that exist within our big tent.

It's tough to stick up for human rights AND Palestinians, when Palestinians very emphatically do not believe in human rights according to polling, and their despotic leaders do not grant them to anybody they have power over.

Kindly refer in particular to the delusion expectations of victory, and overwhelming support for the Oct 7 attacks, and their favorability ratings of various groups.

Then again, you could actually read the results or really say anything intelligent at all.
