If Repugs were half as good at governance, as they are at the ol' wink-wink, nudge-nudge - what a country this could be.

. . . he both sided antisemitism.

I can't believe MAGA wasn't mentioned.

I can't believe that he is "bewildered" about why desatan is not speaking out against racism.

...in a video that long, that a 2.5 second mere mention of something other than right-wing anti-Semitism was one of your three "concerns", and that it appears you don't believe anti-Semitism exists on the left.

I can't believe that failure to mention one movement is that concerning.

I can't believe that, once again, any mention of anti-Semitism, and someone must come along and downplay it with hair-splitting.

Oh wait, THAT I can actually believe because it happens ALL the time, which is BEWILDERING that these types of "concerns" and complaints, misdirects, and other bullshit excuses come from a side that is SUPPOSED to be committed to diversity and ending bigotry, but loves to IGNORE those noble causes when that bigotry is directed against Jews.

. . . of those of us on the left marching in the streets carrying torches chanting, "Jews will not replace us", painting swastikas on synagogues, destroying gravestones and defacing Jewish cemeteries, etc., etc., etc.

Here's a newsflash: Anti-Semitism is NOT limited to "marching in the streets carrying torches chanting, "Jews will not replace us", painting swastikas on synagogues, destroying gravestones and defacing Jewish cemeteries, etc., etc., etc." But, given that is what YOU think anti-Semitism is limited to, it is NO surprise you are so "concerned" over 2.5 seconds.



ETA: Out of curiosity, do think RACISM and SEXISM don't exist on the left because racism and sexism are limited to marching in the streets, screeching hate-fill nonsense, and torching/attacking Black spaces?

Anti-Semitism is something many hoped, in 2023 America, that it might've been relegated to the dustbin of history.

But hate sells.
