A Befuddled Scribe To quote Dan Quayle "I never lived in this century". Also Bob Dole's words to live by "Whatever, just Whatever". Hoping someone has a time machine so I can get out of here.

What The New Republic hasn’t written about is how Abdul El Sayed is basically like Tulsi Gabbard but Muslim. He’s a cult cutout. The Ikhwan is a slick well resourced cult playing a very long game, but only conservatives call them out because they’re biased against Muslims, so Dems are sympathetic.

El-Sayed's Father-in-Law Funded PAC, Led Hamas-Linked Groups

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's father-in-law donated $200K to his super PAC while leading organizations linked to Hamas financing by federal prosecutors.

The willfully ignorant misinformation and lies that people are STILL spreading about Kamala Harris is really annoying as fuck. Harris did not swing "Hard Right" on anything. She was LITERALLY the most progressive candidate to ever run for President. This fact is really not up for debate.

Enrique Bedlam @enriquebedlam.bsky.social replied:

Yes but in reverse.

Harris swinging hard right on the Border did nothing to persuade new
votes and weakened enthusiasm from existing voters.

She did not swing "hard right" on the Border.

And the only other alternative was Trump.

So how the fuck would her position on the border make ANY sane
person think "Ok, well, then let Trump win do let HIM implement HIS
border policies!"?

Do you even listen to yourself?


Enrique Bedlam @enriquebedlam.bsky.social replied:

I mean she objectively did. We can discuss it if need be.

And sure the only other option was Trump but when both people are
promising your sons deportation it's hard to look past to the rest.

Trump is monstrous. That did not mean Harris had to be bad.

The Big Ugly Bill, passed by Republicans slashes Medicare by over 500 billion dollars starting January 1. Seniors, veterans, disabled people - all pay the price for billionaire tax cuts. Its past time to vote Trump’s Republican enablers in Congress out of office in November. #RepublicanMedicareCuts

*details breakdown of how little her campaign actually did anything with 1 specific Republican everyone acts like a little bitch about* Some dumbass who doesn’t wanna introspect: “WoW ShE ReAlLy SuCkEd AnD tHiS pRoVeS it” You people are fucking useless & haven’t suffered enough.

They only harass female candidates like this. Stevens, McMorrow, Crockett, Harris, Mills. All harassed until they drop out of an important race or politics altogether, and then they continue the harassment to make sure they don't try to run again. It's an ugly but completely predictable pattern.

This is what the online left, who support El-Sayed, have been doing to Stevens, McMorrow, and their supporters for the last 16 months. They (and many, like here, are not from Michigan) turn every forum, online and in-person, into a toxic platform for bullying and abuse. www.wcmu.org/local-region...

The insurgent left spends the entire primary season calling Democrats the hopelessly corrupt establishment, claims every source of party revenue is tainted by evil, insists any pol who accepts that revenue is compromised, then pivots to demanding that same party revenue if their leftist faves win.

David Sirota illustrates the unbridled, hypocritical sense of entitlement of the insurgent left.

2015: Putin fears Hillary'd destroy his Ukraine plan, so he backs4 GRU ‘populist’ moles vs. Mainstream 'Middle' Dems. (Ultra-Left) Bernie-Tulsi-Jill (Ultra-Right) Rump 2016 Hillary exposes Russian asset Tulsi, she sues for $50M 2020 drops suit 2026 Tulsi's is Rump’s DNI WHY? Putin picked her

"Identity Politics" = civil rights. So you're against equal civil rights and equal treatment under the law. Interesting. You don't get Universal Healthcare or other issues you pretend to care about without dealing with the racism that is blocking these policies from being implemented.

Yep. When power itself is the only goal and good public policy is thrown in the "whatever" pile? The end results will not be good. At the end of the day, policy IS governance. Legislation. Everything else is just the noise and drama that surrounds it.
