Charlie Sykes: "The moral depravity of the Pro-Hamas left"&"Spare me the whataboutisms" [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-10-11 But the pro-Hamas left reacted very differently. Spare me the whataboutism, the lectures about historical grievances, and the tortured, intellectualized rationalizations for evil. Because what we witnessed was evil. Objective evil. All monsters have stories. They’ve suffered indignities, injustices. There are “root causes” for their rage; they can always try to cast their enormities as acts of justice. But sometimes evil is just evil. Tim Coffey 7 hrs ago I've come to believe that crises expose who we really are, and what we're seeing from that part of the left is absolutely abhorrent. It was nice to see AOC denounce it. LIKE (89) REPLY SHARE I don't know if Charlie Sykes is naturally this stupid or if he has to work at it. Even AOC doesn't support Hamas. There are approximately 330 million people in the United States. If there were 3 million people who supported Hamas, that would be less than one percent of our population. Is there some major Democratic Party politician in Congress or in the White House who supports Hamas? I haven't even read of support for Hamas here and if it were to appear, then it would be hidden and the user would be BOJO'D. Yet, Charlie Sykes writes an article about "the moral depravity of the Pro-Hamas left " ??? Is he that stupid?? His writing absolutely implies that there is a major group within the Democratic Party that supports Hamas when that is absolutely not the case. There are 435 US representatives in our House of Representatives. Approximately 210 are members of the Democratic Party. How many of them are Pro-Hamas? If even AOC condemns Hamas, then there is no significant support for Hamas in the Democratic Party. . And on the other side and I don't give a shit Charlie if you don't want to hear it, but 2/3 of your dumbass Republican Party in the House of Representatives (139/211~140/210~2/3) voted to not count state certified electoral college votes in the 2020 presidential election. Your dumbass Republican Party can't even elect a fucking Speaker of the House. So, they might as well be supporting Hamas because nothing can get through Congress which has the power of the purse. That's not some tiny, infinitesimal percentage, that's a problem with all House Republicans. McCarthy took 15 votes to get in. Look at the leaders of the House Republicans! . They all kiss Donald Trump's ass! Who's by far the leading Republican Party candidate to be the party's nominee for president for 2024? Oh, that's right, it's the ass wipe who tried to stay in power via inciting an insurrection and attempting a coup! It's the sociopath who is singlehandedly responsible for hundreds of thousands of excess deaths of republicans because of his denial of the novel coronavirus. It's the bigot who said that there were good people on both sides. It's the scientifically illiterate moron who said to inject Clorox to cure COVID. It's the guy who has been indicted four times by four different grand juries and charged with 91 felonies! And he's the leading candidate and anybody who speaks against him can't reach double digits in polling. . And the guy who emerged from the REPUBLICAN conference to attempt to get enough votes on the House floor to be speaker is an election denialist who voted against counting electoral college votes that were already state certified. . So, sit your dumb ass down and you fix your Republican Party and when you get that fixed, then you can worries about a group so insignificant that they don't even show up in polling. This is what you get from the leader of the Bulwark who says that he never promised a safe space. He didn't promise anything intelligent either. The AB Stoddard article was the broken clock is right twice a day apparently.
