It actually completely slipped my mind that it was for Maryland. Yeah, I never thought her chances were too high to begin with but they're somehow looking worse now.
You saw what Cardin did with that Israel bill? And hanging around with that fascist Lindsey Graham?
I'm all for criticizing Manning for doing dumb shit like this and she needs to address this ASAP - and I will absolutely not construct dumb conspiracy theories, but Ali is way too cozy towards Cernovich and Fairbanks:
The funny part is them complaining about conspiracy theories when they immediately jumped onto two separate ones (coincidence then photoshop) to justify Chelsea being with Nazis. It's a horrible take.
I feel like this is the sort of the thing that makes sense in the immediate and just sets things up to be horrible into the future.
The reason people like "apolitical" celebs is because they don't know their positions and can write in a fanfic for the ones they don't know. Same holds true w/ people like Obama, Sanders, Bill Clinton when they ran for office.
well yeah of course it's performative. ain't gonna be curb stomping fascists in $700 boots
I get so grossed out with that gif. Still amazing that people want to play the middle after everything. Way more stupid when it's a minority.This is what Chelsea did
If we are going to ridicule and call bs to the above then we call Chelsea on her doing the same
uh, Manning has been pretty explicit about her political ambitions. Nothing apolitical about the stuff she's stated about ending imperialism, the prison system, the racist police force, etc.
To be fairI'm all for criticizing Manning for doing dumb shit like this and she needs to address this ASAP - and I will absolutely not construct dumb conspiracy theories, but Ali is way too cozy towards Cernovich and Fairbanks:
I don't think Manning is a white nationalist. But I think that the escape room picture paints a bad picture of what sort of crowd she is willing to consider her friends
Yeah the Buzzfeed staff got totally snowed by those puff PR statements.
how does she plan to do that - what are some steps she plans to put into motion? if she's made some, i'd love to hear them: i was a fan of manning's everlasting positivity, but i don't recall seeing any specifics from her
Yeah, I defended her in the other thread saying her actions were heroic. I still believe that's true, but this is unacceptable and ruins any credibility she had.
Yeah, but I just don't trust people associated with the alt-right. Fabricate shit all the time, that's their M.O - seriously, they do it to all their targets - leftist professors, feminists, transactivists, socialists, etc. -> spread enough bullshit and let the people in the middle fall for it and distance themselves from the 'fabricated shitstained' targets. Not that this is the case here, just that this is what the fascists and nazis do. Like I said, I'll wait for more information, because all we have now is a picture (that doesn't look good at all, obviously) from someone who's openly buddy-buddy with Cernovich and Fairbanks. Once more information is out and Manning herself has stated something, I'll end up on a 'conclusion'.
Oh sure.
I would be shocked if she provided any sort of clear explanation of this, satisfactory or not. Her campaign's communications seem to be... nontraditional.
This is going to go bad. This is going to cause some battle lines to be drawn in a way that we don't need right now. If I'm angry at her for anything, its for that. The figure that she has been in the last year, to a lot of people that I follow, if all of that was a lie then this is just going to damage so many relationships needlessly
Yeah she's never said she was trans like ever.
I can see two scenarios,
Yes...so because he took a bad stand on one issue he is a terrible Senator? SMH. Doug Jones voted for the Republican CR bill, does that make him a terrible Senator and worthy of being primaried? You do know that politicians on opposite sides of the aisle are often times friends...right? Obama became friends with Boehner... If that is going to be your criteria for who to vote for....
yarp. was of the mind that she wanna run in the primary? hey, that's what they're there for, have at it. better than running as third party and taking votes away from a dem. This tho? Fuck that. People that do this kinda thing have no business even pretending to run as democrats.
just had to look this up
and so that makes sense until the next line
which is just hilarious
Hmm weird I thought people in the old forums and this one referred to her as a trans woman. If she isn’t my apologies for misgendering her.
You might have been reading arguments from gators.
It's one of those things that got repeated enough that people who aren't assholes started believing it because in the end there's nothing wrong with being trans but yeah she's never said she was.
Yes. That take is just fucking bad too and doesn't stand up to base scrutiny.
like, even if somehow she randomly ended up in an escape room group full of alt righters...she was demure enough to not only finish the room with them but also pose for a victory picture? how is that take any better?
