@hiyawathathecat maybe someday I will write a textbook called “how to be stupid.” You will feature prominently. Once again: saying neither candidate reflects the will of the American people on an issue is not the same as saying they are both identical on that issue.

@markgrueter Right: so if I say “neither candidate supports Medicare for all” that’s illegal speech because it equates them. Right. Block.

@hiyawathathecat No, it’s you who aren’t capable of distinguishing between someone who points out neither candidate is reflecting the wishes of the American people on a specific issue, and someone who says both candidates are the same in all respects.

@info_zampa @markgrueter yeah that’s why I muted that guy. He’s arguing almost entirely with very stupid people that exist only in his head.

@AndyHoltonDJ @TheMendozaWoman you’re acting like the kind of guy who’d when he sees a mugging victim lying on the ground bleeding to death, & the mugger still kicking him, would say “now you two stop fighting.” You’re effectively making up an argument to suit your convenience. That empowers thugs.

@markgrueter there are wannabe cops who respond to any criticism of even the most atrocious right wing Democrat is intrinsically objectionable & something that must be policed. I have no interest in their attempts to police me.

@AndyHoltonDJ @TheMendozaWoman Maybe it is. But if it isn’t, pretending that both sides are equally guilty is going to have the effect of empowering the aggressors and creating more infighting not less

@AndyHoltonDJ @TheMendozaWoman There are two factions. The first has been trying to destroy & purge the 2nd for five years. The 2nd has not been trying to destroy & purge the 1st. The only way the 1st will stop is if the 2nd is destroyed or purged. Is that what you’re calling for?

@Arrsum_Kong I point this out sometimes. What if there’s a really good teacher and she gives a class which only 6 students take and they’re all inspired to write brilliant papers? Would she be allowed to give them all an A+?

@AndyHoltonDJ @TheMendozaWoman The faction Starmer seems to have decided to represent has been tearing the party apart since Corbyn was elected. This is a perfect example of the “you two cut it out” fallacy

@MarkHamptonHK All the more reason to make sure we keep those jobs so smart poor kids don’t get up to mischief

@MrLasker oh that’s interesting! Yeah I was wondering why he seemed so passive about the whole thing

@reid_dc nah nah that’s the official version, the whole movie is totally cynical. But there was a Code, it wasn’t until the ’60s they could do movies where the criminals got away with it.

@Communista2 @gerbilmark @johnnytheshort sure me too – my mom was Hashomer Hatzeir, we were all Zionists, in the literal sense, most of my cousins there have left but they aren’t against the existence of Israel certainly.

@Communista2 @gerbilmark @johnnytheshort people have had families threatened, employers called, rabbis called, hacked & secrets exposed… this stuff only comes from the right vs lefty Jews. Similarly, physical attacks: not necessarily vs left but always from the right in my experience

Thu 13 Aug 2020 22:41

@Communista2 @gerbilmark @johnnytheshort tbh, I could only make the public statements I did about Corbyn, how the accusations vs him were clearly politically motivated, because I have no family in the UK & am safe in my job. So many Jewish friends who’ve gone public against the dominant narrative have been targeted
