Yeah, right? AOC is a bad ass until her party is suddenly unfavorable because some of them but not her aren’t supporting Gaza hard enough. But unsurprisingly, none of these people ever complain about Uyghur genocide—the other Muslims.
It’s easy for Jill to be hard on this topic because she knows the presidency is out of her reach. But AOC is still in play, and sadly—in the actual world we live in—she has to play the game to win.
It’s ironic to me that you people can acknowledge that Jill Stein is just virtue signaling from the side lines because it costs her nothing. She’s not actually spending political capital on something that has any chance of happening. She’s just paying it lip service.
You understand this. That’s good.
But then in the same breath, you applaud AOC for saber rattling to pack the supreme court and other ideas that are impossible without a super majority. Which only served to make Biden look weak and disenfranchise progressive voters.
#HRC51 | Draft resolution A/HRC/51/L.6 on holding a debate on the situation of human rights in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of #China, was REJECTED.
That’s not what that means. That’s not what any of that means. And you know it. Why such bad faith arguments? If your argument were rational and logical then the genocide in Gaza isn’t happening either. Because there’s large groups of people that don’t really care about it. Probably even large groups of Muslims who have other larger going concerns than it.
Last month the United States, Britain and other western countries objected to a visit by the United Nations counterterrorism chief to Xinjiang, concerned the visit would validate China’s argument that it was tackling terrorism.
I mean, I could make the exact same garbage argument about you denying the Canadian genocide of the Flemish, which I just made up. Myanmar & Sudan aren’t even germane to the issue, so what’s the point of this diversion?
It wasn’t obvious, it was a line constructed in fantasy and intended confusion. IAnd the way they argue and respond gives me hardcore troll vibes. These people are here to sow distrust, confusion and despair. In line with a country known for doing this kind of thing, russia.
No, ‘we’ are not. If you take a step back and think about it, it makes perfect sense.
Lots of noise and confusion, distrust, ‘both siding’, etc. And all of that happens magically around…presidential election time.
I will maintain my position, tankies/greenparty are propped up to sow distrust and it is a well known mechanism from russia.
Do I think all these poor lost souls are on a payroll? Of course not, if only they were. You can fix income, mentalissues are much tougher to solve. You can indoctrinate swarms of people to do your bidding if you take the time and effort. Again, exactly what russia decades ago started doing to the west. They are ‘activated’ (throw the right amount of messaging on several social media channels to do so) always, and I mean always, around presidential election time.
A good question to ask would be why it is that Stein person is only in the picture around presidential election times. I never hear about the groundwork of a true party to gain ground on the more ‘boring’ levels that gain no notoriety or attention, like local boards, mayors, etc. Always they spring to life around presidential election times where they stand absolutely no chance. Why is that?
And for greenparty/tankies to start calling other people delusional is just sad. Lost souls is what they are and I fear we will have to say goodbye to them as I see no real way to mend their minds, they are that lost.

Or maybe it’s because you don’t pay attention (and the media wilgully ignores more radical opinions). I know crazy.
So tell me, which of Stein’s or the Green Party’s policies makes them “tankies” exactly?
This is 100% about them feeling entitled to the Muslim vote and Jill being tied with Harris in polling.
I’m not saying this is the best structured sentence ever, but you need to work on your reading comprehension (though I have a feeling you are being intentionally obtuse).
I mean you are advocating for the democratic party, correct? That would make you a liberal. If you were advocating for Trump or the GOP I’d call you a conservative. You see, my favorite type of person is the liberal who thinks there are only three opposing ideologies, his or hers, whatever is further right of theirs, with which they will side as soon as anyone who is actual left of them challenges them, and tankies. Let me guess, the DSA is also tankies, right? Except for the ones who advocate for the democratic party? Cornell West? Tankie! PSL? TANKREEEEEEEE
That doesn’t fit the narrative in this echo chamber even a little bit. <strawman> <gaslight> <ad hominem> <logical fallacy of your choice> <accusation of bad faith>
I’d like to see your source on that polling data, champ. Also, it’s so funny you fucks turned against AOC.

And look how that turned out. Biden left. Now there is actually a shot at beating Trump.
I consider that a success.
You know who else doesn’t complain about it? Other Muslims, because they know it’s bullshit.

If China really didn’t have anything to hide then they or any other superpower would be willing to allow independent un escorted investigators and journalists and to see the conditions.
It was the United States that blocked that UN visit: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-usa-rights/u-s-germany-slam-china-at-u-n-security-council-over-xinjiang-diplomats-idUSKCN1TX2YZ/
Delegates from Muslim countries did visit. From the US’ own propaganda outlet: Arab League Visits China’s Xinjiang Region, Rejects Uyghur Genocide
Speaking of rationality & logic, that sentence is sheer nonsense.
Best of luck with your censorship efforts.
Me, talking about real genocide.
You, denying genocide.
You, suggesting I’m censoring the right to deny genocide.
Me, still talking about real genocide.
I will indeed do that.

What about the Rohingya in Myanmar, or Sudan? Are those propaganda too? Or do they not qualify because it doesn’t fit your narrative?
I mean, I could make the exact same garbage argument about you denying the Canadian genocide of the Flemish, which I just made up. Myanmar & Sudan aren’t even germane to the issue, so what’s the point of this diversion?
So you acknowledge that you’re disregarding them as genocides?
No. The only person who brought them up was you, and for some reason you’re still doing it.
Is this some attempt at, “Have you stopped beating your wife?”
Are we just picking random genocides out of our ass now? I was responding to the fake Uyghur claims
So you can’t say you’re for the Palestinians when you’re actively willfully ignoring all other genocides.
I’m not ignoring them, Im not the one trying to create a strawman.
Like you saying, the Uyghur genocide is US propaganda.
Sorry, but calling someone out on their strawmaning is misinfo/trolling, apparently. I don’t make the rules 🤷

Obviously they meant “tied for the Muslim vote”

Tankies = Green Party
It really is as simple as that.
You people are delusional.
No, ‘we’ are not. If you take a step back and think about it, it makes perfect sense.

Not the policies, I talked about the people advocating for that party
So nothing, just ad-hominem. Got it!
Not obvious

You’re simping for Stein and thus Trump all over the thread
Yeah that’s just plain fucking false equivalence. But I suppose libs aren’t one logical fallacy short of enlightenment, so that tracks.
My favorite type of person is one who thinks anyone who disagrees with their wrong opinions is a lIbErAl, whatever the fuck that even means.

Love me, love me, I’m a liberal.
Well that’s definitely not what the word means, but also no. It means I understand us elections and am also not a sociopath
That doesn’t fit the narrative in this echo chamber even a little bit. <strawman> <gaslight> <ad hominem> <logical fallacy of your choice> <accusation of bad faith>
You picked a very fitting username
AOC has always been garbage. As requested
