[cue old Der Stürmer joke for poignancy here]
Why we put this nonsense out into the ether ourselves is beyond me.
"There’s a different question being asked, largely in #Democratic circles, of today’s #Jewish #presidential# candidates: “Is he the ‘right’ kind of Jewish #candidate to be #president?” — a question that is almost entirely centered around a candidate’s position on #Israel and how openly he identifies with his #religious #faith.
A long list of Jewish candidates are considering a presidential campaign or are being touted as credible contenders, ranging from moderates like #Pennsylvania #Gov. #JoshShapiro, #Sen. #ElissaSlotkin (D- #MI) and former #Chicago #Mayor #RahmEmanuel to #progressives like #Illinois Gov. #JBPritzker and those who straddle the ideological divide, like Sen. #JonOssoff (D- #GA)."

https://www.france24.com/en/americas/20260812-david-crowley-beats-progressive-francesca-hong-wisconsin-democratic-primary. The @france24 is hardly neutral & impartial, & it very much looks as though #Democrats in #Wisconsin got cold feet at the prospect of choosing a #democratic #socialist as their #candidate. This isn't "moderation", it's cowardice, & the opposite of #progressive #conviction!

@jeff @RickD_Card @KittenKoder
#ElSayed just won the #primary in #Michigan
that proves the thesis:
if people just show the fuck up and #vote, they achieve real change
especially the #primaries
does the dem #candidate suck in the general?

but i am very happy today

stop whining online and demanding perfection
THIS is how you do it

“#Nessel announced during a televised #antisemitism roundtable that she would be skipping the convention next month, where party leaders will finalize the state’s #Democratic #candidate for #Senate following a divisive #primary that has focused in part on #Israel and antisemitism.
“I don’t feel safe going. I feel like my presence isn’t going to be welcome. I don’t want to get chased around. I don’t want to get harassed. I don’t want to get yelled and screamed at. I don’t want to get booed off the stage, irrespective of what I’m saying,” Nessel said during the roundtable. “And I believe that if I go, that is what will happen because it’s been happening to me.”

From Darien Fenton on #Facebook (with hashtags added here):
'What Andrea #Vance said in The Post today:
'Andrea Vance: If a foreign diplomat can stand up to Peters, why can’t #Luxon?
'OPINION: ...
'Only weeks ago, #NZFirst proposed stripping around half a million permanent residents of voting rights. Last month its #Mumbai-born Upper Harbour #candidate Bernadette Soares suggested temporarily closing the border to migrants.
'...In April deputy leader #ShaneJones dismissed a trade deal with #India by saying he didn't want a “butter chicken tsunami” coming to New Zealand.
'Do not diminish any of this as empty parliamentary theatre.
'This is the exact playbook of Donald #Trump’s #MAGA movement. That is precisely how the rhetoric took root in the United States: first non-white #migrants were scapegoated and their #loyalty questioned, #voting rights were stripped, then border control was militarised, ICE raids become routine, and the civic fabric of a nation was torn apart.
'To secure his own #political survival, Peters is dragging New Zealand down the same toxic path as the US and the UK, actively importing hyper-polarisation and fracturing social cohesion until the country becomes as divided and ungovernable as Washington or Westminster.'Its also straight out of another playbook: Peters’ own campaign manual.
He has long understood the value of provoking governing partners into overreacting and then presenting himself as the aggrieved victim.
'Which leaves Christopher Luxon with a problem of his own making.
'By failing to draw a line early in the coalition, he allowed Peters to define where the line sits. Sack him now and Peters claims martyrdom. Keep him, and Luxon owns both the behaviour and the message it sends.

2027 : la #candidate qui veut rendre la #démocratie aux Français et aux maires - #ClaraEgger

"#Washington’s official #voterguide is hosting a call to murder #Jews, and the state stamped its own name on the page.
#DavidWBlomstrom, a perennial #candidate challenging Rep. #PramilaJayapal (D-WA) in #Seattle’s 7th Congressional District, whose own record on #antisemitism I have documented at length, used his taxpayer-published statement to declare war on an entire people. It is one of the most nakedly #antisemitic documents I have ever seen posted on a government website.
#Blomstrom opens his official candidate statement with a single word: “Jewarchy.” He then bragged about the label it earned him nearly a decade ago.
“People called me an ‘#antiSemite,’ whatever that is,” he continued, pretending not to know what the word means. “Then came the #Gaza #Genocide. Now you know what I was talking about.”
From there it gets worse."
Ok. This is a local far-right talk radio/print news source, but no one else covered this. So its all I got. 🤷♂️

So #MissKitty found her #Presidential candidate for 2028. Let's get through the #Midterms. They are the ONLY #candidate who has featured the end of #homelessness in anything that they have said. I just saw it today in one of her campaign videos.

I need you stupid assholes out there to #vote
The #Democrats suck but "BoTh SiDeS tHe SaMe" is a lie, especially and obviously on the issue of #ICE
We can stop this, but you. need. to. fucking. *vote* you perfectionist and cynical losers
If you voted in the #primaries (you voted in the primaries, right? to get the left #candidate, right? you're not so fucking impotent and incoherent as to pass up that obvious and easy opportunity, right?) then we might even get some prosecutions out of this

"Three #progressive leaders in #Colorado are criticizing #democraticsocialist #MelatKiros, who is running to represent the 1st #Congressional District in #Denver, for refusing days before the #primary #election to call the deadly #firebombing attack last year on a #Jewish community rally in #Boulder #antisemitic.
One of the leaders is a state representative who has endorsed #Kiros.
Kiros’ comments and the criticism come as the 29-year-old first-time political #candidate appears to be on the cusp of unseating #Democratic #US Rep. #DianaDeGette amid a wave of discontent with Democratic incumbents.
“I don’t know what was in the heart of the perpetrator,” Kiros said in a recent interview with 9News." :fozzie_wocka_wocka:

Long, dishy, article from Gothamist about endorsements, divisions, leading up to tonights primary election. "Mamdani Wave..."
7th District: Valdez (DSA Democratic Socialists of America) defeated Reynoso (WFP Working Families Party). Reynoso bristled at being called the "establishment candidate".

Me a few hours ago
In the #primaries
I had a choice between the corporatist #AIPAC #Democrat and the #leftist #candidate
I chose the leftist
*That's how you fix this*
Some voices whine cynical lies and impotent perfectionism, they don't vote, and what happens?
We get what we get in the #USA
If that describes you, you are just as much at fault as #MAGA is for our problems
> #Vote <
(If you can't vote, my words don't apply to you. If you choose not to vote, fuck you you stupid asshole)
