@EdgeofSports @SportsCenter This is horrible. But it was also horrible when they castrated and mudered Israeli Olympic athletes in 1972. I wonder how many many CD irony. Or just pretend like that didn't happen

@Angry_Staffer They don't care about Palestine. They're terrible people. They're hurting people who need to get to work who can't call in and say I'm late because of a protest. It's entirely self-absorption

@BlueSteelDC I believe this but I also believe that these are voters who were already likely in the R category. These are ladder pullers. I think we have many options for countering these votes. But it is a weird phenomenon.

@DanaHoule What the online left activists also don't see is that these events are splintering the left. They are weakening, not broadening their coalition. Which they don't even see as a coalition. So it's more of the same fantasies of vengeance and acceleration.
