Well this is weird.

300 prominent american jewish figures have come out with a petition supporting Ellisson, but not endorsing him.

It's not so weird when people try to bandy about antisemitism charges for not swinging from Israel's scrote. Setting the bar at support instead of endorse just allows them to get more folks signed on.

If you think identity politics needs to be intersectional with class, I agree with you. But making statements about "blacks can't be socialists" and in effect shaming them for race solidarity is dumb, racist, and unhelpful.

Stop responding to the obvious troll.

Or maybe they actually just disagree with you on small points and aren't actually "creatures" with purely venal interests.

I have literally never seen anyone say political capital on this board without it being a mockery. You guys sure are good at beating up the same strawmen over and over and over.

the key to not getting right wing sources to depress left turnout by saying things like "hillary's campaign helped start birtherism" is for democrats to not engage in that sort of thing in the first place

no one can control what every single organization in the media says, and whether right wingers co-opt left criticisms. You do have control over anything that could be taken the wrong way in the future. It's necessary in order to prevent the ground out from being cut out beneath you in criticizing far right wing candidates who do much worse to an audience who often falls for "both sides" and "truth is in the middle".

Ok done. I have used a magical time machine to make sure that Hillary's Campaign had nothing to do with Birtherism. Whoops it looks like nothing changed and you're still here parroting that lie.
