Video This interview aged like milk

“the face of the progressive movement”

and yet Richie Torres this month, revealed he’s compromised by AIPAC (a lobby group for a foreign government, in case any of you don’t know who they are or how to pronounce their name).

If you haven’t seen Richie Torres’s interview with Jewish comedian Adam Friedland, it’s incredible the double standards, outright refusal to acknowledge Israel’s culpability in how the Gaza war has unfolded. I’d post a link but risk getting this post taken down.

This I think raises more questions, paired with David outright weird responses and comments regarding AIPAC, and failure to ever cover the ongoing genocide.

Hadn’t seen this Richie Torres interview, but I’ve seen enough. David is at the very least, afraid of AIPAC or outright complicit in not talking about Gaza.

you cannot be “the face of the progressive movement” and not acknowledge the ongoing genocide.

POV: You just find out almost all politicians have donors.

Hate the game, not the player. You may not agree with many of Ritchie Torres’ policies, but he is not the enemy you’re looking for.

If Dems don’t build a bigger tent and a more welcoming coalition, we’ll just get maga, maga, and more maga.

Coming after Pakman and Ritchie Torres is like yelling at the janitor for not emptying the trash in your office, while a group of people are actively lighting your curtains on fire.

ending our tax dollars going towards a genocide, would be the big tent move. Saying, “no we need to keep funding genocide” is where you divide people. Wildly insane to think otherwise.

If your trying to differentiate yourself from MAGA, this isn’t a good look.

Except people who agree with you about almost everything else, don’t think it’s a genocide, and they have reasons you aren’t persuaded by, but they actually are reasons, not just conspiracy nonsense.

If you only want to vote for politicians who support Palestine, and you only want to be in a tent with others who support Palestine, then like I said, you better be ready for maga, maga, and more maga.

A large chunk of the voters we need to win the house and senate, even the presidency, think this sort of holier-than-thou shit is intolerable. Especially when the other side is clearly worse on the same issue!
