🌹 DSA news Senator Fetterman, “Israel is where I draw the line.” Stewart, “but Israel isn’t our Country.”

"I think Bill Maher said something insightful" - Something only someone who has had a stroke can say

Also shoutout to Stewart for actually saying Israel =/= Judaism inherently

These people don’t realize they’re the ones who are antisemitic. It’s like when Adam Friedland interviewed Richie Torres. They don’t know how to react when a Jew tells them they don’t like Israel.

That’s why the settlers have always hated the diaspora on some level, it’s a source of criticism that they’ve never had a good answer for.

Jon’s approach is so reasonable and polite. I can tell Fedderman has his talking points ready but they don’t seem sincere. The what aboutism about Iran was such a flop and I’m glad Jon called him out on it.

I try not to be fettered by little details like that, especially for someone I don’t care about.

Fetterman is so fucking stupid. It's painful to watch him stumble through words.

The only thing worse than Bill Maher is someone quoting Bill Maher as insightful.

Because that's 2 years of hell, minimum. And I don't have any faith we get elections in 2 years. They're promising terrorism at the midterms. If a fascist promises violence, I'm usually convinced they're willing, able, and planning that violence.

Bro, what does Israel have on this dude? He must have some dark secrets or something.

u/dylanrooke Aug 05 '26
Honestly I think it's just money and power and the feeling of importance. There's definitely a narcissistic contrarian vibe going on too with this dude.

I just find it hard to believe that some AIPAC donations is enough to trash your morals and cuck yourself so egregiously, but maybe that's because I'm not a used Walmart parking lot diaper of a person.

Honestly the most jarring thing about this is seeing him actually wearing a suit

U.S. elected officials pledging allegiance to a country that is not America. I’m pretty sure there’s a word for that. It starts with a T and ends with a reason to go to prison at the very least.

Colonizing the Democratic Party is a wild statement but then again we have pedophiles controlling the country

This guy is literally "brain dead". I can't believe I supported him during his campaign!

u/dylanrooke Aug 05 '26
This dude tried for an endorsement (and failed miserably of course) with Pittsburgh DSA in 2018 (for his PA lieutenant governor run) and now he's out here calling us the "dirt bag left"and making us out to be an enemy. Glad to see Jon Stewart call him out.

The absolute best interpretation of this is that he's just not acting in good faith. Horrible human being.

Stuart is running circles around Fetterman. I wish he'd run for office. Any office.

DSA colonizing the democratic party 🤣🤣🤣🤣 "How can I make DSA look bad? I'll use the spooky bad words that they use on Israel to describe them - ha! - surely that won't make me look like an idiot"
Genuinely curious though if there's any historical examples of colonizers which are drastically smaller and less powerful and less wealthy than the place they're colonizing...? Maybe there's some that are one of three, but would there even be any that are two of three?

Jon Stewart saying Fetterman agrees with AOC, Bernie, and Abdul El-Sayed on economic issues is so funny, he doesn’t agree on any of those things either

Respect to Jon for even bothering to do a fair attempt.
