Dearborn's Arab Americans have been trending Republican since the last election cycle (because of LGBT panic) but they alone wouldn't flip the election in Michigan anyway.

Right or wrong, most Americans, or at least centrist swing voters, are more pro-Israel than not.

Fair point to bring up, the alliance with this supremacist ideology, along with the nonsensical immigration stance, are the 2 blindspots that will bite the left sooner than later (slowly, the left losing-stance on immigration is being abandoned everywhere though, at least as a campaigning platform). I always raise the question why the left is hell bent on forging a political weapon for this growing western right wing demographic to cancel critics with; islamophobia, just because someone is tactically voting left now doesn't make them left wing (I know we will diverge on this, @SvennoJ ). On the other hand, openly ultra right wing ideologues given free money while committing genocide.

Omg I am losing my mind on how stupid this is, make it make sense. 

With that said, the question why are our politicians are so far gone that they are less sensible on Gaza than LGBT-unfriendly demographics and how does the irreparable reputational damage they inflicted upon themselves help the LGBT community anywhere? People should vote Biden, but once/if that conversation is over, a serious progressive movement on how democracy should work has to begin somewhere because the way things are right now is an environment for Trump and Trump-likes to thrive. It was Obama's neoliberal legacy that left the door wide open for Trump, after all. 

 

The interviewer asked good questions, @12:00, there is good back and forth about democracy. Bernie sounds 40 younger than either Biden or/and Trump, how refreshing that he doesn't sound delusional and able to self reflect. 

"Why is our democracy more important than those peoples' lives?" is a fair question to ask (I am not saying I agree with her stance). 

Another scandalous story about the mainstream media  

We shouldn't leave it to Trump-likes to be the mainstream media enemies, it's our stance and we should make it clear with words and actions. Support your fave independent media outlet.
