You gals who get the vapors when anyone equates Republican with Nazi never think twice about conflating Democrats and Communists.
I am interested in your view of how poorly the left in the US is currently treating Jews and, ever so curiously, siding with a people (not just Hamas) who would shove a Pride flag up the ass of anyone waving it, and make his mother watch.
A knuckle dragging culture that should have evolved 500 years ago but got stuck. My view is that the left has turned its back on Jews and Israel and in particularly bad form.
Lots of loathsome leftists embarrass the Democrats because we’re kinda stuck with them. But Biden was the nominee. Leftists aren’t in charge.
By contrast, GOP wingnuts do run the asylum.
I used to be of that mind when it seemed like there were but a mere handful, or perhaps more than that, of really loud people on the left. But, candidly, a lot (not all of course) of the seemingly hyperbolic discourse here on left vs. right in the US is looking more meritorious every day.
This move with the Palestinians is, to me, the most clear example. You have an issue where no free and clear thinking person could possibly take the position many on the left are taking with Israel vis a vis the fake "Palestinians" (who are merely Arabs w/o a country that no other Arab country wants). You have people taking nuclear shots at the only western democracy in the middle east - a place where Arabs live and prosper, even serve on the high court for fuck's sake - vs. almost every other place where you'll get skinned for homosexual activity. It's a complete no brainer, and here we are having an actual, controversial debate in this country about who's right over there. GMAFB. You have BLM Chicago actually doing this:

Can you even imagine the outrage of a right wing interest group posting a meme of a swastika the day after a bunch of Germans - or any white people really - committed a 10/7 on some shithole country? And not a single person is calling for their organization to at least go fuck themselves? What does "under fire" mean? Why am I not reading about somebody at BLM with their fucking head on a pike? And then you have actual Congress people doing more or less the same, absent the meme? Seriously, man, I'm not the chicken little culture warrior around these parts, but even @GrandpaSankey can see the writing on the wall. Where has the fucking center gone? If I have to pick a spot today, I have to go right. There is no room on the left because to be there you have to swallow these shit ball positions that I refuse to swallow. It's absolutely full on AIDS retardation to not support Israel right this fucking minute. Absolute full blown, oozing sore, AIDS and single digit IQ, cognitive and emotional, to do otherwise.
10 years ago there would not have been the wide-spread support for "Palestine", a place that doesn't really exist, in this context, and the accompanying lies about "occupation" of the West Bank and Gaza that purposefully avoids the basic context for Israel's role in regulating those borders (but hardly occupying anything).
The left in the US is simply getting out of control. We need competing schools of thought to keep things honest, but holy fuck all, it has become lunacy. Actual fucking lunacy.
