Among some Jewish-American producers, agents and executives there’s a sense that — even if the V.P. pick was the result of electoral calculations — those calculations come with baked-in antisemitic assumptions about the electorate.
Shapiro wasn’t overlooked. He was in the top 2.
He’s got legal baggage and is too moderate. Walz doesn’t have baggage and is progressive.
The choice was obvious.
Having a religion is like having a penis. It’s ok to have one. It’s ok to be proud of it! It’s not ok to wave it in people’s faces or shove it down their throats (unless you get consent). This thread is you choosing to wave your religion around. Knock it off, that’s gross.
Not everyone needs to blame reality on an invisible sky daddy.
He’s got legal baggage and is too moderate. Walz doesn’t have baggage and is progressive.
Walz is also the rare kind of progressive that gets others to join him being progressive. he might not be the most progressive, but he’s effective.
If Karl Marx or John Lennon don’t join the ticket then I’m not voting for pseudo-progressive Harris.
As far as hot takes, I’ve seen warmer ice cubes.
What?
You don’t think my thoughts are reasonable?
People are allowed to think differently, you know.
No, I don’t think the particular thought you had was reasonable. Which is why I made the comment I did.
People are allowed to think differently, y’know?
Are you against Marxism-Lennonism?
Well, I have never heard about the beatles singers version of communism. And looking through his wiki it doesn’t mention any political writings of that nature.
Can’t be against a philosophy that doesn’t exist. But if it did, it would get corrupted very shortly after being implemented.
Boy, folks sure missed this one
brain more important than beanis.
Best discription ever
I’m a “liberal” (social liberal) Jew and this is an idiotic take, being used as a political tool by the right wing should not make any Jew feel safer. Trump is not pro Jew, he is just pro genocide in the middle east. There is no comparison.
Shut up AIPAC
omg the bs is so obious. straight from them is oh no super liberal leftist to the extreme, then palstering web with leftist shill accounts and blogs with oh secretly super allied with israel and now if your jewish secretly anti semetic.
Removed by mod
Removed, civility.
How? Sad that you’d rather protect a bullshit article. Her husband IS a Jew.
PS> Your only rule on civility is #3 and I didn’t say jack-shit about the user…
You called the other user a dumbass. Do not attack other users.
Here’s your modlog:
No, I called the author of the article a dumbass… I didn’t say anything to the user.
I thought it was pretty obvious that it was directed at the articles author.
Thank you for sharing the mod-log… I see I’ve had three comments removed here.
Removed Comment He may be old, but at least he doesn’t have the dual diseases of being black and female working against him. by echo@lemmings.world reason: Rule 1
That wasn’t even my post, so rule 1? WTF?
Removed Comment Just ignore them… they’re (probably a russian troll) spamming this on multiple threads. by @echo@lemmings.world reason: Removed, civility.
Meh… borderline uncivil, but also factual. They were spamming the same thing on multiple threads.
Aha! The “Rule 1” comment was in AskLemmy:
"1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them"
I didn’t violate that at all… I was calling out the inherent racism and sexism in the system. Did I really have to put a /s on there to make it obvious?
Accusations of bots/trolls falls under the civility guidelines. Not sure about the rule 1 one.
The rule is to not to accuse them of being a bot (I didn’t) and not accusing of them being paid (I didn’t).
tbh, I would also prefer shapiro but am fine with walz, too
