    I don’t understand what you’re saying at all. I quoted part of that long response you posted, and made a quip that if immigrants are learning about American racism and the problems with nationalism, that they are getting a clearer picture of America than what some of the ruling class want people to believe. Then Jeff asked if there was anyone who would defend her. I didn’t know who she was.

    but anyways, since I view everything through a liberal lens I’m going to miss your reasoned arguments. If only I was able to step outside of my political bubble I could be convinced of what’s wrong with liberalism. Pray tell, how do you manage to see the world through such an unbiased lens?
    If only..

          A nice little social media battle showing the disgusting human Piker truly is being fought by recently primary winner Miskitos.

          Quote commentator Kayvan Shroff has this to say about the public spat taking place.

          Piker would likely be taking a similar victory lap had Larkin won the race.

          One of the asymmetries in Democratic politics right now is that when a DSA candidate wins, it is immediately treated as evidence of some enormous ideological realignment in the party," Shroff said. "When a more moderate Democrat wins, there is usually much less hype and almost no corresponding narrative.

          "We saw that with David Crowley beating Francesca Hong in Wisconsin, and now Moskowitz has beaten a DSA-backed challenger in Florida," Shroff continued. "Imagine the coverage if the result had gone the other way, and imagine the victory lap Hasan Piker and the online left would be taking right now.

          "I actually think there is value in Moskowitz picking this fight," he added. "Piker backed his opponent and made himself part of the race. By going after him publicly, Moskowitz is forcing people to tell the other side of this story, and, frankly, here we are talking about it because he did."

                As someone who votes for Democrats more often than not, I hope the DSA does a lot more of this

He was all in favor of peaceful firing squads, cooperative political imprisonment, and mutually respectful executions.

                    You could make this movement into an SNL skit and it would seem over the top.

                      Are we sure this isn’t a false flag operation put on by MAGA?? The DSA is bonkers and only idiots would tie themselves to that movement.

                        192 Dems vote against Anti-Socialism Resolution. GOP was stupid to attach the SAVE Act to this resolution. But I am not sure this would have changed that many votes.

                        A very telling example that Dems have a major problem on their hands and the GOP plans to exploit this as much as possible.

                          Oh, come on. You can’t combine two bills and then make any moral judgments whatsoever based on how people vote.

                            Democrats voted against a bill they have been vocal about opposing at every turn? And then voted against a nonbinding resolution supporting that bill? I am shocked - SHOCKED I SAY! - that they would vote to oppose it.

                            Note: stupid non-binding resolutions are what you put on the floor when your party has zero accomplishments going into the midterms. One of the parties has a problem, alright. But it's not the Democrats.
