The opposition party is more focused on marginalizing anti-Israel voices on the left than taking back power. Plus, Darline Graham wins in South Carolina and the Canada trade war gets stupid, fast.

Donald Trump is leading a deeply corrupt, fascist administration that seeks to punish and imprison his enemies – big and small, real and perceived. The unpopular president and his team are laying the groundwork to try to steal the 2026 midterms, and they’re not even trying to hide it.

Democrats in Washington, meanwhile, are hyper-focused on… condemning a left-wing podcaster, Hasan Piker, and distorting his comments criticizing Zionists as a way to marginalize and block the rise of anti-Israel voices on the left.

With less than 10 weeks to go before the election, the opposition party is using this crucial time to demonstrate their continued fealty to Israel – despite its deep and growing political unpopularity in the U.S., its horrifying genocide in Gaza, and the ruinous Iran war that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dragged America’s idiot president into.

It makes me livid that the danger Hasan is pointing to is real and yet centrist Dems can’t even handle the subject being brought up without having performative meltdowns.

    Ok so you’re talking about being beholden to corporate interests, yeah?

    Not exclusively. I am a spiritualist. I don’t care where the money comes from. If there’s a link in the chain from the people to the politician that has any questionable attribute, that link should be removed.

          What garbage behavior are you talking about specifically?

          I’ll admit that I don’t watch his streams because he can absolutely be abrasive and he gets “one-guy”ed a lot from his chat. But that’s independent of what his beliefs are politically.

            One’s beliefs mean nothing if those beliefs don’t call them to better behavior.

            You telling me to look into him then saying this is kinda cracking me up tbh. You should watch them. He styles himself a symbol of hyper masculinity, which is never anything but a thin excuse for continuous, unrepentant, uncalled-for mistreatment of the people who support him. He reminds me of every overachieving narcissistic bully I’ve ever met. He raises so many red flags just watching him talk to his own supporters that I literally cannot believe leftists tolerate him among them, no matter how much cash he brings to the table.
