    So many Whys. Why is Usher performing with him? Why does anyone play with him? Why does he have management? Why isn’t he being thrown off tours for his behavior? Why are people buying tickets to see him?

    But yeah, Jasmine, we respect you, so why are you looking the other way on this guy? You would have been better off saying that you can’t support anyone with a long documented history of violent domestic abuse, and been a hero.

    Or, you could even have said nothing at all.

      109% agree except for one thing: respecting Jasmine Crockett.

      She’s a zionist enabler of abusers posing as a progressive champion of the people. Always has been.

        Yeah, I get it. This Zionist stuff is new, and I have to re-calibrate who I’m supporting and how much, depending on their commitment to Zionism, and ESPECIALLY if they are denying the Gaza Genocide.

        I am also giving them a bit of time to understand which way the winds are blowing, and that anti-Israeli sentiment is not going to abate, and change their tunes. A lot of Dems took AIPAC money like everyone else, without thinking that it meant someday they would have to defend genocide. I’m willing to allow those people to see the error of their ways, and change directions.

        By the end of this year, though, I expect ALL Dems to be vocally anti-genocide, critical of Israel, and completely divested from AIPAC money. Any that can’t go along with those moral positions needs to be primaried in their next campaign.

          It very much ISN’T

          Enabling a popular genocide is still enabling genocide.

          A lot of Dems took AIPAC money like everyone else, without thinking that it meant someday they would have to defend genocide

          Bullshit. The genocide has been going on for almost 80 years.

          By the end of this year, though, I expect ALL Dems to be vocally anti-genocide, critical of Israel, and completely divested from AIPAC money

          You’re gonna be sorely disappointed.

          Absolutely. That’s the vast majority of them, btw.
