You're a tough woman! Fight back.
That's quite literally what she's doing - she's planning on running for president despite the horrible treatment.
We don't have enough of her to go around. We also need her to take one of the New York Senate seats. It's weird how leadership is not only Zionist but also made up of a significant number of people from the New York metro area.
Mamdani is seeding enough people that can jump into that Senate race if AOC runs for president.
For instance I still contend the long play is to have Brad Lander run for Schumer's seat
And depending on his ambitions I could see Mamdani running for governor of NY in 2030 and one of the NYC DSA reps challenging Gillibrand.
I would vote for Mamdani so hard for governor.
It's not weird at all, and doesn't even require conspiracy. Social clubs, sports clubs, religious sites, and schools.
The way the craven privileged bond and form their cliques, and how easy they are to influence during their early stages of teenage "I know everything", spoiled rich brat version, are neither imaginative nor mysterious.
No matter how badly the chuds try to give their group chats cool names, they're always either impressionable fucks trying to outrun daddy's legacy to make their own, or already compromised by generational favor debts.
The most insulting part of Israel's puppet up the ass of the world's wealthy white men, is how fucking embarrassingly easy it was to size the fit.
Why do you think all the pro Zionist arguments (or defenses) right now are emotion based? The most common example is "we don't feel safe without Israel" followed by "objecting to Zionism or Israel is anti-Semitic!"
When I see these people arguing for Israel I just think, "wow, you're really unhinged and haven't addressed the argument being brought forth"
Why do I think? The same reason every other issue that is not at all divisive in the face of decency is currently an emotional game of feelings over reality: It's the easiest form of divide and conquer to effect the manipulation over the largest amount of people, which also provides the required length of cognitive dissonance to meet whatever selfish goal the pricks are using it for with very little upkeep after priming.
The rest of the pieces to make it stick are repeated ad nauseam on Lemmy by many comrades, many whom I would say I vehemently disagree on further finer points, but that's the crux of it.
Capitalism is not human, and it does not lend itself to engendering human responses to human problems.
I'm so tired of hearing people use "unhinged". It's like one day some kid on the schoolyard said it during recess and now the whole fucking school is using it for everything constantly.
Feel free to substitute any of the following: Deranged, demented, psychotic, disturbed, unstable, unbalanced
Someone who uses "Ann Archy" as their handle is complaining about the word "unhinged" being infantile...
sick burn breh!
She did, but it took her over a year to shake off how they treated her, especially Pelosi.
