He made a career out of the attention economy, and he is doing what works for that.

CENK“
“Even diehard Israel supporters in America are bailing. This is too much to stomach for anyone. Remember, most Israel backers didn't actually believe they were going to do a genocide or move all the Palestinians out and take Gaza. They really thought it was self-defense. They're beginning to realize they were wrong.

They projected their morality onto Netanyahu and his lunatic, fundamentalist government. And yes, they were blinded by their bias. But now that they're seeing a genocide with their own eyes, it's too much to bear. Especially for a people who went through it themselves. Imagine how much of a weight on your conscience it must be to think the country you loved is now doing one itself.“

11. Even when the nomination was complete for Hillary, then for Biden, he continued to shit on our party's candidates.

He has no interest in defeating Republicans. He's not loyal to the party. His loyalties lie elsewhere. He has revealed the type of person he is many times. I believe him. I do not trust him. He's a GOP-funded liar and a blowhard. He does not unite people around Democrats, he only divides. He creates distrust. He creates and feeds resentments. The world would be better off without his anti-Democratic party and anti-Democrat venom. He fancies himself a fountain of wisdom, but in reality he's a cesspool of hate and venom. Fuck that SOB!

And that’s his schtick. I used to really like him until he became anti-Biden and a both-siderist.

8. They both lost me

when they railed against homeless and transgender issues.

On Israel-Palestine sometimes a broken clock is right twice a day but they have been mostly been doing a right wing grift lately. Ana Kasparian was even bashing her own audience on right wing Youtube shows.
