This thread is very poignant and worth every minute of the time you spend reading it.

I’ve been guilty of the vibes-based demand-making described here in the past and it can be a struggle for all us to acknowledge & understand other peoples’ perspectives. We could all stand to do that more often.
This is going to be very nuanced and very divisive. I hope you will do me the courtesy of reading the whole thing and digesting it before commenting.

Okay?

Good, here goes:

I think many people in our party misunderstand what a congressional leader is.

a significant portion of the left really does want our society to collapse and until we collectively realize this is a serious problem and exile those people the right is going to keep easily convincing normies that we’re all like this

ICYMI: Reed Showalter is an antisemite who hides behind Israel to spread his bigotry & the same way the Nazis claimed the Rothschilds were using $ to control Western governments, Reed just replaces the Rothschilds with AIPAC.
The only chance you have of going to the Hill is on a guided fucking tour.
ICYMI: The Intercept reported on November 22nd that "more than 35 of [AIPAC's] donors have given money to [Jason] Friedman's campaign" for Illinois' 7th Congressional seat, totaling about $140,000 of his $1.5 million fundraising total.

Here is my official statement:

It's pathetic that you can't campaign on actual policy, so you try to unite the antisemites in IL-7 by constantly recycling the same BS talking point about AIPAC, as if there aren't thousands of PACs that donate to MOC.
The Nazis used the same strategy.
All you did was change Rothschild to AIPAC.
I guess the right-wing Israeli lobby is circling on Illinois' 7th District.

"Friedman is running against 17 other Democratic candidates, including . . . former antitrust attorney Reed Showalter, who has pledged not to accept money from AIPAC." 👀

Six and five figure donors to AIPAC and its super PAC, United Democracy Project, have picked a candidate to replace Rep. Danny Davis in Chicago. Jason Friedman’s donors have given just under $2 million to AIPAC and UDP since 2021. theintercept.com/2025/11/22/c...

This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for your partnership in our movement.

Faced with the rising tide of authoritarianism, we stood up and spoke out, and we’re grateful that you answered our calls to action and joined our efforts in record numbers.

Antisemitic Islamic terrorists as "armed resistance". Not one "antizionist" who speaks out against it.

This is why the pro-Palestine movement is associated with antisemitism: There's nobody speaking out against this hate.
Unlike in Gaza, there is no organized armed resistance to defend Palestinians in the West Bank, no declared war-zone, no pretext to hide behind. What Israel is doing exposes its cruelty in its rawest form.

Who doesn’t love some good old Nazi-inspired zogposting on a fine Thanksgiving morning?

Predictably, it comes from more of the most generic looking mediocre white men imaginable. Their lives can’t possibly be meaningless and empty because of their own failings.

It must because of: the JOOOOOS!

I had great fun with A.I. Messing around with it and making it do dumb things. Like asking A.I to send me dick pics. It first sent me images of Nixon. Then after a further prompt, it sent me images of Nixon merged with images of sausages.
Still have yet to see AI make my life better in any way

Iranian officials said that the Houthis and some unspecified Iranian-backed Iraqi groups have become less responsive to Tehran. The Iranian officials mischaracterized Iran’s relationship with the Houthis and Iraqi militias by misrepresenting how the Axis of Resistance functions.

Other than "run a charismatic candidate who talks like a normal person and excites voters", I don't think there are many lessons to be learned in ANY direction. Too many NYC-specific variables.

But that also means I don't think it's right to slag his win. An upstart socialist won, and that's huge!

Also, when you say people saying "Dems would win everywhere with a Mamdani-style platform," I think it's important to remember that that platform delivered the most charismatic candidate in recent history a whopping 50.4% of the vote against a street vigilante and actual vampire, in New York City

Yes, but this isn’t just something that occurs in a vacuum. It is the end result of the foundational level which anti-Jewish bigotry is baked into Western thought and culture, regardless of political or economic ideology.
The hard truth is that Jewish people and orgs are perceived as having much more power and influence than we do - in front of and behind the scenes. This is a fact for the Left and the Right. So the Left protesting a synagogue is seen as "speaking Truth to Power."

Making one's entire vibe about bashing Dems is the fast track to gaining popularity within the online left. It has gone ga-ga over a guy with Nazi tattoos (!), a guy who promoted the Uncommitted movement, and this Kat character (former GOP?).

It couldn't be more obvious at this point.

I cannot with people reposting that ratfucking Kat person into my feed. Even if her rhetoric is spot on, she's emblematic of everything that's wrong with politics in 2025 America.

She was recruited by ratfuckers to become a ratfucker. And people are spraining their ankles running after her.

This is wild, since it was Biden who ran in 2020 always literally running and bonding onto stage, but never once was it "getting harder to sustain" nope they went right for the kill

Trump meanwhile has always shuffled onto stage looking like a golem

In post-war France there were several incidents where French people went to occupied Germany, found GESTAPO men who were the chief torturers in a town, kidnapped them, dragged them back to the French town, where the townsfolk then lynched them.
