    OK. Cool. Stop trying to be some kind of social media hero that feeds the trolls and fuck use the electrical official powers you have to their full extent, please. We can’t pussyfoot around for another day.

          I figured, but I’m incapable of letting an opportunity to make a bad pun pass me by.

          Tangentially related book recommendation for folks wandering through the thread who are disappointed that AOC isn’t announcing she’s taking over the role of Storm for the X-Men: The Power by Naomi Alderman. They turned it into a TV series, though I don’t know anything about the adaptation. The premise is that women across the world all of a sudden develop the ability to generate electric fields (like an electric eel) powerful enough to stun or kill. The book then details, through a variety of narrators, the social and political ramifications of this across a variety of cultures. I thought it was a fun yarn, at any rate.

          “Instead, Prime Minister Netanyahu pursued a path of mass revenge, killing over 40,000 Palestinians, blocking humanitarian aid, pushing Gaza to the brink of famine while only further endangering the lives of hostages, and consistently undermining ceasefire negotiations.

          “One year after the attack, the region is barreling toward even wider conflict. The Biden Administration has failed in its responsibility and own stated goals to prevent a wider regional conflict.

          Which part of that reads like genocide support to you? The condemnation of Netanyahu or of Biden?

          You have a literal fucking nazi takeover on your streets and you’re complaining about… liberal fascists? Didn’t Lenin have something to say about you ultra leftists types?

            It’s amazing how people can write but not read… It’s almost as if some individuals have vested interest in her failing

              Yeah, some of these online roleplaying leftists really need to question their logic if they’re doing the same job as right wing bots: undermining unity with useless dissent. Shit taken straight from the CIA sabotage manual:

        I dunno, maybe constantly raise a voice in actual congress without giving the GOP the advantage of adhering to useless decorum would be a massive start.
