It happens constantly. I also often see the elderly given seats, as well as mothers with strollers or little kids. It’s not remarkable in the least. Tapper is a loving moron as well as a prick

IMO any able bodied and conscientious person should just stand by default when there aren't enough seats to go around. Who cares if there's a pregnant lady or old person, lots of other people have invisible physical problems and they'd like a seat too.

So from my perspective he shouldn't have been sitting to begin with. If there aren't enough seats then loving stand you able bodied baby.

Can somebody explain why being a Zionist doesn't mean you have dual loyalties? If you treat Israeli affairs with the same kind of unquestionable exceptionalism that you treat the United States, that's a dual loyalty. Nationalism is nationalism.

It's definitely one of those woke double-reverse racist sentiments, because it's antisemitic stolen valor.

it's a really sensitive subject, because arguments like this were used to persecute Jews (especially, but not limited to, Zionists) on the grounds that their Jewish ties made them automatically suspect as disloyal traitors to their countries

my response to that is that "hey, that's a racial stereotype" only applies to cases where someone merely assumes it without any evidence or reason for that assumption, other than the ethnic identity of the accused. if the accused is caught red-handed doing the stereotypical thing, then it doesn't matter whether it's a stereotype

The flip side of this is that it's racist to assume any Jew who isn't a Zionist is a self-hating fake Jew.

Many socialists distance themselves from Chapo, which for many embodies Bernie-bro machismo. But its zero-sum politics and caustic nihilism — the exact inverse of the Establishment-liberal Pod Save America—have set the tone for socialist discourse, especially in contrast to the pieties of the identity-politics left, the righteousness of the #resistance, or the smug wonkishness of Vox

The bachelorette, Arielle Cohen — 30, former co-chair of the Pittsburgh chapter of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — asks her suitors a question. “Now that Amazon has been banished from New York” — triumphant shouting here — “you’re the one who gets free rein to build something ungodly in Queens: What are you building?” Some answers ring out — guillotine, public housing — but the invocation of Amazon is all it takes to get the party going.
