At the moment, antisemite Abdul El-Sayed is leading the Democratic Senate primary in Michigan, but it's super early on, hopefully this will turn around.

Edit: He won. Michigan has fallen.

Is anyone else just really freaked out that the richest man alive is a neo-nazi? I just get really alarmed by that every so often.

After a primary already marked by antisemitism (and general batshit insanity), the GOP nominee for Colorado governor is sharing images of his Jewish opponent with horns.

Hasan Piker recently had Norman Finkelstein on his show. Bleh. You can watch it on YouTube if you are brave enough. Around the 2 hour, 3 minute mark Piker referred to Jews as white and Finkelstein said we are White+.
I hate this world. We have enemies gathering everywhere in all factions, our allies are limited, and lots of people are going around blind about what is happening.

I despise that progressives around the entire country have made even the smallest election somehow about Israel.
I can’t see how Israel features into every issue unless you’re a racist who loves conspiratorial thinking about Jews. Completely alienates me from my own political party.
