By reilo Go To PostWeird assumption to make that the Heg statue was torn down by a similar thinking group that wanted to take down confederate statuesThere are protest groups all over the country, i'm pretty sure they don't all have the same thinking. That doesn't mean you can't say an incident is fucked up.

This is the 'anti-Semitic conspiracy theory' in question, from Maxine Peake:
āSystemic racism is a global issue,ā she adds. āThe tactics used by the police in America, kneeling on George Floydās neck, that was learnt from seminars with Israeli secret services.ā (A spokesperson for the Israeli police has denied this, stating that āthere is no tactic or protocol that calls to put pressure on the neck or airwayā.)
Convenient way to remove the sole socialist from your shadow cabinet perhaps.
Think thatās alright. Labour have to be seen as having zero-tolerance on anything even perceived as anti-Semitic for a while, I think.
On the one hand, yes I'm sure Starmer was looking for the first excuse to sack any Corbynite in his cabinet, but on the other hand the Labour left's obsession with Israel in particular over all other issues is fucking unseemly at best. And yes it therefore needs stomping on.
This isnāt about stamping out anti-semitism though itās about centrists driving leftists out of the party.

It's actually a bit of both.

Think itās both, really. And I think itās difficult to call Starmer a staunch centrist until we see some some sort of policy or manifesto. So far, I think heās been very good.
Surely Starmer had the option of just not appointing Long-Bailey to his cabinet if he was so eager to get rid of leftists
Suppose the argument would be he needed to appease leftists and give his closest opposition for leader a position.

By n8 dogg Go To PostDems are so lucky they are up against the worst candidate in recorded historyI mean, they lost the last time this happened.
By DY_nasty Go To PostI feel like I've heard this before
Yes, but Trump was also lucky he went up against Clinton. Thereās also four years of Trump proving heās fucking god awful at the job to help.
By Laboured Go To PostIt's actually a bit of both.idk, I don't think any criticism of Israel should be smeared as antisemitism.
By Laboured Go To PostThread etc.Bit of a stretch saying this comes from some obscure group, when criticism for US-Israeli police exchange programs has been a thing for years and is pretty widespread with human rights activists.

Iām voting twice and one will be for you
By Fenderputty Go To PostIām voting twice and one will be for youThanks m8. Put me down for Howie Hawkins.
By Fenderputty Go To PostIām voting twice and one will be for youAs if our votes for president even matter in the bluest of blue states. Pfhhh
I'll believe Trump isn't going to win when I see Florida, North Carolina and any two of those rust belt states go blue on election night.
By Fenderputty Go To PostIt could be from means testing too?all the means testing was very much bipartisan lol...
but lol the number was kinda shocking
but considering all the fraud, laundering, etc that the emergency actions kinda remained vulnerable to it shouldn't shock anyone that it was a mess. kinda expect much, much more once the businesses get audited
First, Bidenās lead has clearly widened in the past month. He now leads by more than 9 points, but on May 25, Biden led by an average of only 5.8 points (48.9 percent to 43.1 percent).
Applying our current polling-average methodology to 2016 polls, Clinton led national polls by an average of about 4.0 points four months before the 2016 election, and 3.8 points on Election Day itself.
However, the Electoral College looks like it could still give Trump an advantage, just like it did four years ago. Itās hard to see that advantage now because Biden leads in nearly every swing state, but if you look at each stateās polling average relative to the national polling average3 (the rightmost column in the table below), you get a sense of whether the state is redder or bluer than the country as a whole. As you can see, by this metric, many of these states lean more toward Trump than the country does. That means that, if the overall race tightens, those states could slide into Trumpās column, allowing him to once again win a majority of electoral votes even if Biden wins the national popular vote.
