I think on the fringe the right is more targeted and outright with antisemitism and hatred no doubt. However when you are looking at both parties Antisemitism is closer to the heart of the democratic party, and the core platform. Look no further than Keith Ellison who was the front runner to head the DNC being associated with known Anti Semitic groups and has been on record making antisemitic comments as recently as 2010.

Also the hard right antisemitic fridge has remained constant in numbers, while on the left we have seen a dramatic rise through the mainstreaming of populist/progressive ideologies.

Can you provide a source?
 

“It is time to retire the playbook that aims to silence any American official seeking high office who has dared to criticize certain Israeli government policies,” =/= antisemitism.

A vehemently pro-Israel, Jewish business man calling a Muslim America politician, that is skeptical of some of the Israel government's actions, antisemitic is the evidence you have to support your assertion that the left is more antisemitic that the right?

You cannot possibly really believe this.

I don't think either party is remotely close to antisemitism as a part of the "core platform." Nor is it appropriate to conflate support for Palestinian statehood (including calling out Israel for human rights abuses in the region) with antisemitism.

It is rich that you point to the first Muslim ever elected to Congress as an example of antisemitism though.
 
Hot libertarian take

People are mad about the government splitting up illegal immigrant families but no no cares when family courts take children away from law abiding citizens.
 
Libertarians who worry about borders and talk about illegal immigration aren’t really libertarians. You can’t complain about government overreach and then claim government can set up arbitrary lines and tell people where they can and can’t go.

haha, holy shit this is a galaxy brain level take. There are fucking nazis marching in cities and you are talking about something Keith Ellison said in 2010? Keith Ellison just voted for a blue lives matter bill and you think he is some champion of progressives?

government has three basic responsibilities:

1. protecting the population from foreign threats

2. protecting the population from domestic threats

3. maintaining certain public institutions and services

preserving secure borders would fall under responsibility #1

A secure border and an open border are not mutually exclusive.

And border security =\= immigration enforcement and vice versa.

Just a friendly reminder.

It depends on whether or not you see the immigrants coming across the border as threatening or not. Also, how do you make the border more physically secure than by surrounding it with 100s of square miles of desert?

I don't agree with libertarians, but I think their argument would be that securing the borders and legislating immigration are things the federal government is constitutionally charged with, and thus in line with core libertarian beliefs.
 
is that right? im sure they'll be thrilled about seizure of property necessary for border security.

the devil is always in the details

So a great example of Zionism is someone referring to any criticism of the State of Israel as "anti-semitism".
