VitalSigns posted:Seeing the racism and sexism a WoC gets for being elected to Congress is insane. This has nothing to do with her being a woman or a minority. It has to do with her being Extremely Online and not proofing her statement for factual errors. It happens but when you have a giant spotlight on you all the time you need to take the time to read before you  And edit just to be clear since we’re now gaslighting anyone who dare question her, it’s not a big deal. But I also wish she’d just take a little more time as a member of Congress to read her <280 character statement before posting. Ugato fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Mar 5, 2019 |

MSDOS KAPITAL posted:Okay cool well thanks for letting us know that while you don't think Rep. Omar is an anti-semite, you're concerned. This obnoxious attitude is why that poster is concerned, even though I think she's utterly wrong about this case. How much does someone have to hedge their criticism before it's okay not to jump down their throat about it? The poster says like four times they think the accusations against Omar are overblown. BardoTheConsumer posted:Really, the Omar situation serves as a really good example of why we are utterly doomed. Because the Democrats show the slightest shred of decency, they have to be perfect 100% of the time or they get dragged. Meanwhile half the Republicans are openly racist (the other half, of course, are closeted) and no matter what lovely things they do, what lovely people they are, no one cares. They're not trying to show decency, they're trying to silence one of their representatives because, in their minds, she's insulting Israel and the US-Israel relationship. Plus I think doing this only devalues the term "antisemitism" when it's actually becoming a growing problem in a real way. God it sucks that so many antisemites have made baseless accusations that sound quite a lot like what's actually going on in this case, but then again I'm sure that's part of the strategy.

Your Taint posted:Yes, pointing out that AOC is not completely perfect at all times is racist and the OP should just out on a pointy white hood already. She was compared to Donald Trump. It wasn't just "oh she made a mistake we all make them", that's kind of the whole problem

Saying she made a mistake is one thing, even if it's a mistake that no thinking person gives a poo poo about and completely unnecessary, given that she already acknowledged her mistake and corrected it. It's when you start comparing her to Trump, such as Ogmius is doing, that everyone should have a problem, because it's the mother of false equivalencies.

Endorph posted:nancy pelosi, watching a call counter go from 499 to 500 before walking out and declaring 'actually, israel bad, sorry about that' Yeah, continue to not participate in the process and see how that works out for you. Guess what rear end in a top hat, your participation in a Republic doesnt just end with pulling a level one day out of the year. We are in this mess because people have sat on their asses and allowed themselves to be placated by the bread and circuses fed to us by the rich. Get up and do something instead of sniping people who are actually putting in the work. friendbot2000 fucked around with this message at 14:24 on Mar 5, 2019 |

Ugato posted:I mean are we claiming now that no member of Congress has ever corrected a tweet? The race for hot takes is getting really stupid here. Republicans usually do not, but then again their mistakes are either intentional or based on the fact that they're all dumb as rocks. The key, of course, is that when they are shown to be wrong, none of them--ever--admit their mistakes and correct themselves. quote:I don't follow other reps because I don't care about them. I think AOC is amazing and am simply saying I wish she wouldn't make easily preventable errors. It's one of the unfortunate consequences of maintaining your own Twitter account and being an authentic person rather than a poll-tested politician stereotype. People make mistakes. Smart people own up to them.

Endorph posted:hey i am from virginia too, that is also why i feel powerless right now, hence Posts Fellow VA Goon! You still live in the area? Yeah, I got angry at one of my friends the other day because they suggested I move out of the state and I just loving hate that rhetoric because VA may be a dumpster fire, but it is my dumpster fire and I am trying my hardest to put it out. We made so much progress in 2017 and this year is just a loving gut punch. poo poo is dire, but gotta trudge through to get to the other side. Right now I am working with Solaris to pull a coup in the Zoning and Planning Commission Board in Montgomery County to see if we can get some legacy redlining laws killed, working with the Lee Carter Campaign, and doing DSA stuff. Shits exhausting...
