    It’s really not. The left has been tolerable to islamists for a while now. All for fear of being called racist. Same goes for Israel, AIPAC is still around with huge dem support. Thankfully a lot of the left has full blown rejected Israel now, but they still don’t seem to see that islamists are right wing and not on the side of progress and peace.

      tolerable to islamists

      Tolerable of Muslim, sure…

      Tolerable of rightwing extremists regardless of religion, no…

      If you can’t tell the difference between the two, that would likely cause confusion

        Didn’t say Muslims did I? I said islamists. And as I pointed out in the article I posted, the left elected islamists because they can’t seem to tell the difference.

            Hell no, Obama isn’t a Muslim and we need more Mamdanis. Did you even read the link? Mamdani didn’t spew his religion around at all, he’s kept church and state separate like it should be. I just hope he doesn’t get bogged down doing the good he has already done by the Dems in NY who hate him.

            You’re doing the same shit that other progressives do, afraid to call out islamists and give them a pass cause you think you will get called a racist. A right wing authoritarian prick is a right wing authoritarian prick no matter what color their skin is.

              I just wanted to make sure your one example was over a decade ago about the city council for a “city” of less than 30k people…

              Maybe if you’re nice, we can cover who actually voted for them and what their political leanings were (hint: conservative, not progressive).

              But honestly there’s a lot more after that, and I don’t think I’m gonna hang around long enough for you to understand, I’m probably just gonna give up on helping you.

                  Dearborn

                  The actual fuck are you talking about?

                  Your link is for Hamtramck

                  Plenty of scholars have written about it.

                  “Scholars”?!?

                  No one is debating that sometimes Muslims vote progressive or something progressives vote for Muslims. The answer will never be 100% either way.

                  You said you wanted to talk about your link, but you’ve got the location wrong you don’t understand it was conservative politicians elected by conservative voters and I’m struggling to think of any excuse for why you think that link is valid

                  I’ve sure as shit wasted enough time as you as an individual though

                    Your link is for Hamtramck

                    My bad, Hamtramck is still historically a dem stronghold.

                    “Scholars”?!?

                    You didn’t even read the link did you…

                    The left gives islamists a pass a whole lot. Let’s stop pretending they don’t.

                    You said you wanted to talk about your link, but you’ve got the location wrong you don’t understand it was conservative politicians elected by conservative voters and I’m struggling to think of any excuse for why you think that link is valid

                    Again, Hamtramck is a blue voting area.

                    What?
