  • In other countries the candidates seek popularity, this is a weird place where there was only ever one correct choice, between two people who are absolutely disgusted by you, and will do as much harm as they are allowed to do, but one is clearly an idiot. The other was selected, not by a democratic process but by a machine, and then the corporate media says they’re the most electable, despite there being zero evidence of this.

    We were about to make history by electing the first president who didn’t participate in a primary. She was anointed. Just this once, we gave up even on the name Democrat. No Kings indeed! It wasn’t Republicans saying this, it was Black Lives Matter, those people you all also hated because they were too loud and they weren’t even that loud!

    Mark my words, the next time Democrats shame everyone, it’ll be before another cancelled primary, not after. They’ll be upset that you’re mad about the cancelled primary. “Do you want (some asshole) to win???”. It’ll be soon, too. your Democratic representatives do not believe in democracy, they did believe in a certain process and we finally lost that too. We have nothing left but respectability aesthetic.

    I hope the DSA crushes you all and takes your damn toothbrush too. I hope they double in size, then again, then again, And i hope every single one of you goes back to brunch satisfied that you were definitely in the right whenever it was a dichotomy. I hope it’s fucking delicious and you never have to think about politics again. I hope you get all the things that’ll make your life easier, and I hope you don’t even have to understand what it took to make that happen. I hope my children can be like you. An artist and a chef. The only difference is they won’t be forced to become the sort of people who had to give up so much, everything stripped away from them because they had no choice at so many different levels, no, they will make choices and enjoy it. Fuck you. I hate you all so fucking much and I still want your life to be so wonderful. I hope you retire and you remember how the boomers treated you and how mean they were, and i hope you treat my grown children better than the boomers treated you. I hope my son ends up your neighbour and you never have to meet me or know anything about me because I would fucking HATE you. We will create a society where you do not have to participate in genocide in order to live a normal life, and you won’t even know how, and it’ll be fucking great.



  • This is a difficult question to answer. Antisemitism might be the one issue, the only one, regarding marginalisation, that people don’t necessarily need more awareness of. I think we’re all pretty aware to the extent to which we can help, and the extent to which it’s gonna happen whether or not we do anything.

    Those ads I see (in Kentucky) entangle Zionism with Judaism too tightly, the ‘increased awareness’ smells like a radio show my family used to listen to called “focus on the family”. every Sunday there was story time, and the lesson of the story was usually “damn, if only these soft-hearted parents would learn that is okay to hit your kids, and is actually evidence that you love them with the REAL love.” These ads have the same vibe, because evangelicals are making them, too.

    If you want people to stop thinking conspiratorially then for gods sake call out obvious propaganda, you need an amount of nuance most apolitical people aren’t willing to engage with in order to understand that it isn’t necessarily 'the Jews" making all this pro-Zionist propaganda and shaming you for disagreeing with it.

    this is a shit take I’m sure, what do i know, but if there are enough Jewish anti-Zionists in the world to do this, you are going to need to end your toxic relationship with evangelicals, they are stalking you. get the cultural equivalent of a restraining order (me asking you to employ a tool that probably doesn’t exist)

    sorry for the rant
