Tlaib is the only member of the so-called far-left “Squad” that has not endorsed Harris. The other three members — U.S. Reps. Ayanna Pressley from Massachusetts, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York — endorsed Harris in July after Biden announced he was dropping out of the race.

I missed that Ilhan had endorsed Kdolf Hitler, very disappointing.

Would you support him banning AmeriKKKan and Isn’treali developers too, given that their countries’ war crimes are far grander in scale, horror, and devastation than Russia’s?

They really did. It’s been disheartening, alienating, and frightening to watch. I can’t be friends with these people anymore, who don’t care about genocide, so there go a lot of people I befriended in school.

Disclaimer: you’re going to get wildly differing answers because Islam is not a monolith.

Edit: also thank you for asking this respectfully

At least in my experience with the Muslim side if my family, no. There’s maybe a little “oh that’s different and a little weird, but if someone’s queer that’s just Allah’s plan for them and it’s not our place to judge”, but there isn’t the hatred and condemnation you see in conservative christian cults. It can break more along political lines.

It also gets weird with regional variation, like where my family is from trans people are kind of normal. I was even taught that transness is generally accepted religiously as long as the trans person is straight (so since I’m lesbian that doesn’t work as well for me, but whatever).

Generally I consider the “Islam is violently queerphobic” shit essentially a form of colonialist blood-libel to paint Muslim cultures as backwards and oppressive in order to justify committing horrible colonialist and imperialist violence against them, and it’s victim-blaming too. Queerness is very culturally dependent – what is feminine in one culture may be masculine in another. Colonizers exported their queer-bashing ideas during conquest, cracked down on queer communities as removed, reshaped mores in the places they conquered, and now these “enlightened” colonizers have the audacity to condemn the people they colonized for bearing those scars. Of course we’re “behind the times” – you fuckers made us be!

There is certainly room for and indeed a need for conversation and struggle around queer acceptance and liberation in different Islamic cultures, but that’s going to vary greatly by region and is less of a theological question and more a cultural question (of course there’s a give and take between theology and culture). Islam in Iran is wildly different from Islam in Pakistan is wildly different from Islam in Saudi Arabia is wildly different from Islam in Algeria, and even within those places there is a great amount of variation

I truly think libs are beyond being redeemed, and that even goes for the more “progressive” types who appropriate the label of “democratic socialist” like Bernie and AOC.

I used to think they could be moved left – after all, many did – but at this point I no longer believe that. So many of the libs who “moved left” under Trump, at least that I know, are now ride or die for Kdolf Hitler. If they won’t grow a soul and reject liberalism because of genocide, they’re beyond rehabilitating and aren’t worth my time anymore. I’d rather engage with the politically unengaged than with the politically engaged liberal. The unengaged can be woken up to the truth, the engaged liberals see the truth and don’t care.

No matter where you live you’re wasting your vote if you don’t vote third party

1st third: Yep

2nd third: lmao what

3rd third: lmao what

Material conditions? Never heard of them.

Basically every successful Communist revolution immediately instates major literacy programs after the initial victory to empower the populace. It isn’t a prerequisite.

People like you are going to drive me back to Christianity because I need to believe that there is a hell for genocide supporters.

Lol that’s a great line, love it. Keep up the good posting

So did she support Tara Reade or is she only pretending to care about women?

I have gotten a bit of that vote blue shit from anarchist friends too and it’s shocking and mind-boggling, I really can’t understand why people who are opposed to government in general want to throw their support behind Nazis!

I don’t fear their “magic” so I’m probably not magicphobic

Main character syndrome and its effects have been a disaster for whatever the fuck this kind of person is called

She supported destroying Iraq and Libya so we can reasonably assume shed have been a horrible warmongering mass-murderer
