I’ll trade you guys Biden in November for Dan Forrest in NC.
Why?

I was not accusing you of anti-semitism dude.
I give Nina Turner and a whole host of people as much, if not more credit than Bernie for building out Our Revolution and the grassroots infrastructure underlying today's left. But I don't see the identity politics the same way you do. Put another way, I give The Squad credit for The Squad's accomplishments, not Bernie. But I don't think it's quaint to say that democratic socialists in Congress are one shoulder they're standing on and the other is their forebears that were congresspeople of color. It's important to build the class consciousness and class politics coalition alongside a coalition that recognizes and supports people of all colors, abilities, genders, etc.
See people on the twitter arguing that 2+2 doesn’t equal 4. Is that actually serious, or are they trolls trying to play on 1984.
This is fake right... right???
Ph, I read that MHB comment as just reminding you that Bernie is Jewish, not just "old and white". I dont think he was calling you anti-semitic.
That’s ridiculous. So he wasn’t accusing me of being anti-Semitic. He was accusing me of forgetting Bernie is Jewish. That’s some gaslighting nonsense. Do better.

You know what you did. Don’t back down. Just admit it. I didn’t call out Bernie for being Jewish. I wasn’t using “code.” You hate me. Whatever. But reading anti-Semitism into my post is unnecessary. I shoudn’t have to agree with everything you say to count on your scorecard as not anti-Semitic.

What? I'm not gaslighting you. Referring to a Jewish man as just white, in the context of national politics, is a certain level of identity erasure. I dont think you did it with any ill-will, but I agree with MHB that it deserved mentioning.
Dan Forest is an asshole.
everything about this sounds like the received understanding of millennials too.
Dan Forrest has no appeal outside of just regurgitating evangelical and trumpy talking points. Dude has no charisma and no original thoughts. What do you like about him?
