      Your comment, while accurate and true, adds nothing to the discussion at hand. These sort of comments are useless which should be left in the realm of Reddit. Do better, try harder

      “Sky is blue” “water is wet” were first recognized by Russian propagandists to disarm outrage. As In, essentially telling people “You’re stupid if you didn’t already know this.” For people out of the loop, it works.

      Informing people of this technique is bad for some reason

      Edit: Even when attempting to politely Inform someone they are using propaganda techniques you get pedantic hate from people who claim to be progressives.

        Nah, you’re just being a smug pos and coming off like a gatekeeper. But keep crying about how progressives are being mean to you.

        Also, calling someone stupid isn’t “politely informing”.

    While otherwise staunchly pro-Israel, Mills has said that he is only supportive of a version of the Israel aid package that included billions in cuts to the Internal Revenue Service — a complete non-starter for Democrats, who control the Senate and White House.

    Not so much of a hypocrit as the title implies, but a shithead that tried abusing our idiotic system to force a completely unrelated budget cut to the IRS to be bundled with an otherwise popular (among politicians) bill to give support to Isreal.

    It’s nice to see centrists finally pull back their support for genocide.

    Centrists are now acting like they weren’t ever fully on board with selling weapons to Netanyahu for genocide.

    The standard response to “Biden should stop supporting genocide” was “You think Trump would be better?” followed by abuse and false accusations.
