Not only would Kamala have bombed Iran, everyone currently insisting she wouldn’t have would be using Beyoncé gifs to celebrate it She lost to Trump because she refused to break with Biden’s “anything Israel wants to kill Palestinians they get” approach. She said no to conditioning weapons sales, called Iran the most dangerous threat, kicked Arabs out of her rallies, yet ppl kept insisting she was different

Starting a thread about increased surveillance/repression/punishment for free speech on campuses this fall, as it perfectly encapsulates how Liberal institutions fill their role in aiding fascism while paying lip service to diversity+equity so Libs can feel good about themselves

I think some members of The Squad and especially AOC's quote, "The matter is closed," looks really foolish right now, and I think it damages their credibility as truth-tellers that they've been knowingly lying to their own base of support. I’ve seen this over and over and no one was arguing that they should’ve been first. They could have stayed neutral/said nothing. Instead they made it more difficult to oust Biden by staunchly defending him. And they lied, which hurts their own reputation.

For those wondering why Bernie argued in 2016 for superdelegates in their states to honor the winner of that state, a thread of how SDs marginalized his wins:

New Hampshire:
BS 60.1%, HRC 37.7%
Delegates:
BS: 16, HRC: 15 (5 more SD) Sanders won both of these states, but Hillary got more total delegates because of superdelegates:

Michigan:
BS 49.8%, HRC 48.3%
Delegates:
BS: 67, HRC: 76 (13 more SD)

Indiana:
BS 52.5%, HRC 47.5%
Delegates:
BS: 44, HRC: 46 (7 more SD)
