"Positive reinforcement"???? Motherfucker, who gives a fuck if you have everyonr congratulating you for the right take or not if you have the "positive reinforcement" of bookoo bucks in campaign funds? Being anti Israel IS ALREADY MAINSTREAM. That's the whole reason for the optics, they know its popular, but their financial interests or ideological beliefs prevent them from actually enacting any change. They will dangle these keys in front of your face until every last Palestinian is dead for all they care.

You strike me as one of those people we'd call "deeply unserious".

It's been so long since ops politicians did anything other than wring their hands and tweet positioning statements, so long since the news covering them has reported anything other than politicians/citizen feefeez/their own opinions, i wouldn't be surprised if op thought that was all politics actually fucking were.

The absolute cynicism of this pennymatinee we sit thru like clockwork Orange breaks one's goddamn mind
