Dude she’s a random civilian
Why do you care

This woman doesn’t seem like a Nazi lol
I literally just explained why this was a problem,
And I disagree. You haven’t actually shown me any evidence that he’s a racist. The best you’ve done is show me a statement by some random donor (???) who made a statement when ambushed by combative activists that was awkward. Whoop de fucking doo
Why is he responsible for the statements of some random donor? I don’t know why he would need to address those comments, it seems like some activists ambushed some random person on the street and she said something which wasn’t focus grouped and sounded bad. If she runs for office I guess she should address them.
but he chose “argues too much” and “scream at”, then said he should talk “like normal people”.
This is a common argument against progressives from moderates, of whatever race or gender or religion. You can not like that argument, but the fact that it’s used commonly against the populist left kinda detracts from the “oh, this is a dog whistle”
When Latimer said Bowman is an “ineffective Congressman” because he argues too much, Bowman interrupted to say that he is “passionate.”
But Latimer responded, “You need to talk to them as normal people — you can’t preach and scream at them on the steps of the Capitol.”
Jamaal Bowman is known as one of the more firebrand politicians out there. Running against that is fair game, and pretending fair criticism of him is racism seems dishonest as fuck to me.
I think this is mostly evidence of Clinton preferring George Latimer. Endorsing someone is just saying that you like them for the job. I’m sure Bowman has endorsements, too.
…or is the point that Rep Bowman should be immune from primary challenges because he’s black?
Bowman is the guy who got censured by the House for that dumb fire alarm incident. Now he’s calling Latimer racist, and for what reason? Latimer seems like a very boring politician, not a klansman.
Yes, the response to Israel doing something is indeed always more severe than when any other country does it.
As to war crimes, I’ve never seen any evidence of intentional targeting of civilians as a matter of policy. I’ve seen evidence of individual soldiers doing that, and that’s happened in every war. It’s why war is bad, and you shouldn’t start wars.
There is not a single country on this planet which would tolerate an organization like Hamas remaining in power after an event like Oct 7.

Don’t start wars. Wars are bad. Fuck Hamas and fuck anyone who supported them. I wish their kids had parents who gave a shit about them.

Arab leaders are smart enough to know that attacking Israel would either lead to defeat or nuclear annihilation, and so, seek peace. Regardless of the wishes of the populace.

Once again, we have “propaganda is when someone disagrees with me”
So your position is that it’s more legitimate for someone to live there because their ancestors moved there under the Ottomans rather than people whose ancestors lived there before the Romans and moved back under the British?
I don’t give a fuck about any of that. What I care about is that the Jewish militias were happy to accept sharing the land with a Palestinian state, while the Palestinians decided that any possible Israeli state was unacceptable and declared war.
The entire conflict stems from their inability to accept peaceful coexistence.
Okie dokie I guess
That’s still what Hamas says their goals are lol
It’s why they started this war. They wanted to head off Saudi normalization of relations with Israel
Dude that’s what they’ve said their goal is. Take your head out of your ass
That’s a lot of words which don’t go to answer the question as to why the candidate has to answer for the supposed racism of one of his donors. I’m sure if we looked long enough we could find some donor of Bowman who has posted something calling for some nasty activities. But nobody does, because everyone understands that a politician isn’t responsible for the views of individuals who happen to vote for him unless he has solicited their endorsement specifically and celebrated that endorsement publicly.
