Lmfao, good riddance.
Horrid person, and no, calling her Copmala isn't bad, it's just accurate.

I love how y'all ignored all the candidates' defense of Tulsi when Clinton made her comments and act as if Sanders's statement is especially significant.
Biden and Warren's silence would've been better, after all fuck Tulsi Gabbard, but why not do what y'all always do for the centrists and apply Kirblar's signature "This is disappointing and bad, but here's a paragraph handwaving it all" in this instance?
"Copmala" is not a right-wing talking point, it's a leftist meme.
Calling Kamala a cop is a right wing insult? A bit odd considering how much they love cops. You should just admit you don't want anyone to criticize politicians you like. Given your argument doesn't make any sense and is incredibly hypocritical considering just the other day you were going on and on about Bernie's "three houses" (which totally isn't a conservative talking point!)
Copmala is a leftwing talking point.You've had nearly 20 years starting from the year 2000, what's the hold up?
It's not about making fun of politicians, it's letting yourself willingly push right wing talking points because they're against another rival. You know how the right wing does well by manipulating society so politician like Trump get elected? This kind of shit is what it was made for. Make fun of politicians, don't use material compromised by the right wing because what they're peddling isn't innocent and it's not meant to help you. You're doing them a favour. These are tactics which helped Neo Nazis become resurgent online.
interesting. Then, I wish she would've framed it as such when the programmed received criticism instead of weirdly doubling down on the tough on crime rhetoric and dismissal of very valid concerns.Sure. That's in the program. Harris refused to take prosecution referrals if the school hadn't already tried to connect the parents with support services and met with government agencies.
You know who made the meme? Who was it?One of the shopped photos was from a right wing source, that's what I was talking about.
But I didn't dismiss him as an obscure politician.Sanders comment is incredibly significant, particularly considering his influence with the left. The other candidates defending of Tulsi, like Beto's was terrible as well. However, I don't see Beto supporting her on campaign tours, or his wife supporting her with a political think tank, she's not a known ally of his, and he doesn't have a high profile political figure in his campaign defending her every time she's attacked - can't say the same for Bernie. This also goes for Biden and Warren. What's weird is how your dismissing Bernie as though he's still an obscure politician, if he were as powerless as you suggest why are you supporting him for president? He's the biggest socialist backed candidate in the country for your movement. Its immensely hypocritical for Bernie supporters and the left to ignore what Tulsi is doing when she's one of yours, and Bernie's projects.
Because no one gives a fuck about Tulsi.
Tulsi "political career funded by RSS fascists" Gabbard fans gloating over... Kamala Harris dropping out.
Is this an example of "horseshoe theory"?

And what purpose does screaming "the right-wing/Russian-bots are using the same meme!" serve other than to shut down criticism?Not to defend Kamala, but the origins of Kamala is a cop doesnt matter. The objective of owning the libs overrides whatever love for cops the right wing has. This level of cognitive dissonance is not egregious in the slightest. They will bend their logic to suit their needs whenever they need to like usual. I don't really get the usefullness in parsing what is or isnt right wing branded lines of attack. The purpose they serve is what matters.

Wouldn't waste your time, not sure Itchy has ever made a good faith argument.

I'm saying given that y'all have been more than willing to handwave far worse shit from centrists, like, I dunno, Harris's abysmal record if we're gonna stay relevant to the thread, it's hypocritical to overblow this defense of Gabbard. A defense that has been echoed by other candidates and many representatives.
I have said nothing wrong. I wish you were more specific about what you thought I got incorrectly. think Yang has been very clear about conversations he's had w/ Biden - obviously I'm speculating since Yang has no path to actually winning the presidency. As far as I know, most economists don't think the alarmism Yang is doing w/ AI is warranted.this is why i stay out of these threads. some of these takes are ridiculous...
I do wonder how deep he got into the Jane Sanders robbed a university ordeal.Sure.
Just like you weren't too concerned about boosting right wing talking points with the thousands of words you typed out attacking Ilhan Omar earlier this year.
Get the fuck out of here with that shit.
You haven't explained how the "Kamala is a cop" meme is a right wing talking point. I'm immensely curious as to how it is. You even postulated that the picture shared earlier was from conservatives but haven't provided evidence to that fact.
Boomer is right wing slang, tooCops hate it when you call them cops. Boomers hate it when you call them boomers. Racists hate it when you call them racists.
But what does it mean?????
Might as well go for the bizarro land trifecta and say calling out racists is a right wing meme too.
I almost did but I thought that would be too much lolMight as well go for the bizarro land trifecta and say calling out racists is a right wing meme too.
Surprised to see she's out before fucking Klobuchar, Booker, Castro.
People literally don't know what politics isI saw so many people that said "I'm not a Kamala supporter but she deserves to still be in the race!" but like....you not being a supporter is exactly why she is out of the race....she didn't have enough supporters to sustain her candidacy.
Calling Kamala a cop or making fun of her for other things, isn't in the slightest "right wing talking points".You've had nearly 20 years starting from the year 2000, what's the hold up?

Not only that, it's true. It's true and it works. Both Ichthyosaurus and loquaciousJenny know this so they have to discredit it by saying it is right wing talking point or Russian propaganda thereby erasing the criticisms black people had with Kamala.I just want everyone in this thread to understand the subtext here: you shouldn't do this, because it works

Unless you think the right-wing suddenly dislikes aggressive prosecution of poor black families in which case I have a bridge or two to sell y'all
Were people concern about "Copmala" being a right-wing insult before she dropped out? That has been a meme attached to her since almost the day she began her campaign. Why now of all times that some people have a problem with "Copmala"?
(brief reminder: weird that the "right wing talking point" thing doesn't come out from these same individuals when it's, say, moderate democrats criticizing left-wing democrats for single-payer healthcare using explicitly conservative frameworks. or when they're talking about how we can't afford larger government because "the national debt". there are people who openly adopt conservative positions to criticize democrats. it's not the people being accused of it.)
Sure.
