    Libs would rather cry for months about how they completely botched an election than do anything to stop a genocide.

      Rashida Tlaib won 62-38 in a district that Harris lost 43-32-15 R/D/G. The idea that Libs can’t win or that Libs won’t stop genocide is flatly false. They exist. But they’re also at the top of the AIPAC hit-list (Cori Bush and Jamal Bowmen were two other staunch anti-genocide candidates forced out during their primaries) so they have to fight for their lives in their own primaries rather than turning out the vote nationally for their candidates.

      The dirty truth is that Dems can be gaslit and railroaded by a fascist white nationalist press as easily as any Republican. We saw a hard right tilt this election because we were flooded with hard right propaganda over the last two years.

      Pinning the results of a tsunami of fascist media on individual voters is just blaming the victims. When your social media is owned and operated by apartheidists and gusanos why are you surprised to see voters adopt their views? Garbage In, Garbage Out.

        The real dirty truth is that Rashida Tlaib belongs to a 1500 year old delusional authoritarian cult of personality that spread across Arabia and the Mediterranean (Gaza included) by force of genocide, violence and cultural destruction, and that (not unlike evangelical Christians and orthodox Jews) Muslims in America will always be loyal to their backwards, oppressive religion rather than to fundamental concepts like democracy, secular society, equality, and justice under the law.

        There is no such thing as an anti-genocide Muslim, as the prophet Mohammad himself was nothing but a violent conqueror and killer of all who opposed his dogma. Ask these hypocrites how it happened that Arab Muslims ended up living in Gaza in the first place…

          Lol, so we’re equating all Muslims as violent genocidal cultists, but only evangelical Christians and Orthodox Jews are problematic?

          Muslims in America will always be loyal to their backwards, oppressive religion rather than to fundamental concepts like democracy, secular society, equality, and justice under the law.

          And is that different to the vast majority of Christians and Jews? It’s not evangelicals that ended roe v wade, just a couple trad Catholics. It’s not the Orthodox Jews doing the genocide, just regular people.

          Lol, tell me you’ve never read the old testament without telling me you’ve never read the old testament.

          “Arab muslims” is a modern cultural designation based on language and religion. Modern Palestinians hail from the same Semitic people as Jews, and have inhabited the levanth since the early bronze age. You are not only incredibly ill hearted, but also incredibly stupid.
