What do other Arab countries have to do with me as a US tax paying citizen not wanting my tax dollars to be used for the slaughter of innocent civilians ? If I felt the opposite way I'd just vote republican
Are black leftist incapable of being anti genocide, honestly confused by this stupid ass statement. Like I said we should splitter the party so you bush era imperialist a$$holes can fetishize over your government slaughtering civilians regardless of the future repercussions
All emotion no logic. Splitting the party would guarantee Republican dominance. If @Loose ideology was as popular as he thinks it is, they should be able to take over the party organically through primaries like MAGA didLOL @ “split the party”.
Like progressives would actually work together. Y’all would purity test each other to death with your moral narcissism. Cuz nothing is EVER good enough for y’all.

This is a good, well thought out post. But I disagree with one of its fundamental assertions. The Right are not as hive-minded as you make them out to be. Go into any of these right-wing media outlets and say the name Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Adam Kinzinger or hell even Liz Cheney. Trump just threatened to primary Thomas Massie. He's constantly threatening Republicans who displease him with primary challenges. Steve Bannon just called Elon Musk a "parasitic illegal immigrant". There's a lot of infighting on the right on the issues of Ukraine and Israel. There are a significant amount of right-wing media influencers that have been criticizing Trump for being slavishly pro-Israel ("MIGA"). Ann Coulter just called out Trump for bombing Yemen and deporting Mahmoud Khalil.This is definitely a problem in the podcast/youtube sphere.
The Right votes non-stop.
The Left can't be left enough without shytting all over the "left" party. And then they are pikachu face when the left continually loses. Sure it is morally correct that you call it balls and strikes. It's great that you are so above the fray that you know the Republicans are trash, but you still have to make sure that you don't give the Democrats a pass. But, then you do that forever, and at the last minute are like but hey vote for the Democrats. Then you're like what the hell how did the Democrats miss this layup.
Look at Channels like Breaking Points. They are the epitome of how the Left and the Right totally care about populism. Screw the culture wars, screw the left and the right. Just talk policy and everyone agrees. But, then you watch that show consistently. Saagar doesn't shyt on the Right, excuses Trump, Vance, etc. Krystal shyts on Trump, Vance, etc. But, she makes a serious point to also shyt on the Dems. So then you get an audience that leans right, because the only thing they really agree on is hating the left. How does that win? How does that further the Progressive ideals?
Majority Report does a better job of balancing the left/Democrats than most of the Channels. But, they still go out of their way to be like the Republicans suck, but we still have to talk about how the Democrats suck, but please vote for them. And then their audience doesn't vote for them. Sam killed Jimmy Dore on the Supreme Court balance of why voting for Hillary would have been better than Trump. But, his channel made it clear that Hillary isn't as pure as Bernie, and she's not really "left is best" so they (the fan base) didn't vote for her. Just like Dore's audience. Because that is what the Left channels are good at. They are good at telling you how the Liberal party isn't perfect, and you know the Conservative party is trash. But, none of them do a good job of convincing you to vote liberal after all their grievances.
And at the end of the day. No matter how populist the Country polls. The voting public isn't liberal, they aren't left, they like left policies in theory. But, they don't care about them enough to vote for the party that will bring those policies. I don't know how you fix this break.
The Right and it's media apparatus will never turn on the right. Just like the Dems in Congress want to try and rely on past bipartisanship and how the Government used to act. Left leaning media has this concept in their head, that they can't be their best if they don't criticize the side/party that is most favorable to them. And all it breeds is apathy. People want Jon Stewart to run, and he's out here bothsidesing when it's clear ONE party is exponentially worst.
we're a broken country and we're playing two totally different games when it comes to politics.
Seems to be what you all want , when you all hold fairly new immoral party positions. The left used to be in somewhat of an agreement from a general morality standpoint that genocides and neocons aren't welcomed to the party. Somehow the Overton window for genocides moved to the right morally for some of you when our elected president funded one. You rather attack family members and voters instead of holding the criticism for the leader of the party at the time. History won't age well for some of you.All emotion no logic. Splitting the party would guarantee Republican dominance. If @Loose ideology was as popular as he thinks it is, they should be able to take over the party organically through primaries like MAGA did
Your appeal to emotions doesn’t work breh otherwise Trump wouldn’t win. The faction of your party needs to prove to us that they can win nationally by first winning primaries. It’s not that hard of a calculusSeems to be what you all want , when you all hold fairly new immoral party positions.

What party of faction is pro genocide that wins elections I'm absolutely confused what you're babbling about.Your appeal to emotions doesn’t work breh otherwise Trump wouldn’t win.

The left was pretty united in being willing to support Biden - a lifelong centrist and no beloved leftist himself - until he decided to aid and abet the worst humanitarian crisis of this era. The left was pretty united in being willing to support Kamala's campaign until she chose to support the genocidal Zionists and pal around with right-wing figures whose vision for America did not overlap with ours more than it diverged. If the next Democratic nominee is a Centrist who believes they can follow the deeply immoral path taken by Biden and Kamala, they will lose and the Democratic Party will continue to bleed support. Centrist Libs who have desiccated morality be damned, I'm not going to support a Party that enables this:
I cannot and I will not. Red line. It's up to Democratic leadership to decide if they want these leftist votes or not.
This is why I started this thread years ago. Even the Majority Report had to learn to just back the democrats because the bernie movement flamed out.This is definitely a problem in the podcast/youtube sphere.

So? Briahna Joy Gray does not represent the entire left, and is not even the median voice within the left.Before October 7th, Briahna was openly telling people not to vote for Democrats.
You hinged this entire response on BJGSo? Briahna Joy Gray does not represent the entire left, and is not even the median voice within the left.
