There are some other things transpiring in American politics right now. But we must note that Democratic leaders are now unabashedly stating what Bernie Sanders supporters said over and over in 2020: the party pushed Joe Biden primarily to stop Bernie.
jacobin doesn’t want unity; jacobin wants to elect far right republicans.
For accelerationism, right?
😏
For accelerationism, right?
also because most of the terminally online far left agree with the far right. which is why most of them are transphobic and anti-immigrant af.
Oh, I see. Biden’s adoption of Trump’s immigration policies are why centrists think he’s the most progressive president who ever progressed a progress.

Biden circumvented 26 environmental laws to build Trump’s wall for him. Centrists weren’t pretending his hands were tied then, since he was doing exactly what centrists want: whatever Republicans want.
The people who want no borders are anti immigration. What a take!
Meanwhile… Biden, Who Campaigned on Closing For-Profit Migrant Detention Centers, Still Relies on Them Amid Border Surge
I didn’t know Time was a banned site, I will try to remember this for next time. If it is mentioned in the sidebar I didn’t see it.
Here’s another source that I hope is accepted:

Reported as misinformation, but the report doesn’t seem to be aware of “Horseshoe Theory”:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory
The wiki page specifically says that it’s highly criticized:
Just because it has a wiki page does not mean it’s a valid theory.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth_Theory
So as long as it’s a theory, it’s not misinformation?
Do you know how theory works?
You have to prove a theory true before you can say it’s a fact.
Saying it’s a fact is misinformation.
Like saying “Biden started the genocide in Palestine”. Might make you feel popular in your echochamber, but reality is at odds with the statement.
I sure as hell know how gaslighting works.
I get that you’re just happy to pretend that anyone to your left is a Trumpist because it gives you an excuse to dismiss anything you don’t like.
Ain’t a whole lotta room for “jeepers, it’s totally only a theory” here:
Which is straight up libeling an entire movement. There is NOTHING that says most leftists are transphobic or anti-immigrant. Not a goddamned thing. That’s not a ThEoRy, it’s a fucking lie.
Which I’ve never said. I’ve said that he supports Netanyahu’s genocide. But hey, you’re not above some libel. You can just call it a theory after the fact.
You should be rejecting it because it’s opinion rather than “information” (mis or not), not because an online theory exists which codifies the opinion. And it probably should have been reported for Trolling in the first place. That’s not a comment intending to do anything but start a fight.
Reluctantly, I gave the piece a fair shake.
It’s garbage. We know that the DNC pushed other more moderate candidates out so that a more moderate candidate, one the average democratic voter and independent thinks they want, could win instead of them all splitting the vote. This was obvious, not some conspiracy theory.
The author of the piece is trying to claim that because one person said they chose a candidate that could beat sanders, that was the ultimate goal. But they wanted to beat sanders because they felt he couldn’t beat trump. They quote one person effectively saying this, but then dishonestly spin it.
The second quote is one person saying that he thinks sanders policies are bad, as if this proves anything.
It’s amazing anyone reads this site without realizing how terrible it is.
