No, DADT was not “lauded” by the community at the time. Our leaders boycotted his grandiose signing ceremony. You’re spouting Clinton spin.

I remember the draft-dodging Clinton whose cowering team mismanaged “gays in the military,” folded within weeks, tried to spin DADT as a glorious win, and scapegoated gay people for his loss of Congress after putting his wife in charge of a catastrophically mismanaged health care reform effort.

See my other reply to you insulting condescension. Further peep from you gets a block without reading.

I have no idea what this insulting condescension is about. Nor do I care. I am old enough to remember repeated centrist daggers in queer backs. Get lost.

Ask the Black folks who aren’t rallying to AES.

You’re right. Promising to send a stern letter is all a Senate minority can ever do. They’ve stood there like deer in headlights for 18 months. Get a better apologist excuse.

Do you imagine that snide condescension from centrists will somehow be more effective than snide condescension from Bernie Bros was?

Lots of folks on BlueSky are also the despised “coastal elites” that Michigan candidates, no matter how elite and privileged or drowning in “coastal elite” AIPAC money, like to smear. Toxicity from arrogant triangulating centrists is no more appealing than it is from arrogant leftist Bernie Bros.

18 months of Trump dismantling everything while establishment congressional Democrats did literally nothing. Why are you surprised folks aren’t jazzed up to add yet another warm body to the Senate Do-Nothing Caucus? And the centrist hypocrisy! Has Schumer endorsed Mamdani yet? 🙄 #SternLetter

Yes, you’d think centrists would stop dividing us by trying to force us all to keep paying for mass murder.

🙄

P.S. Maybe some of us who don’t care for DSA also recall decades of centrists treating us like shit too. Shaking us down for money. Tossing us overboard the second the polls close. Legislating away our dignity and still bullying us for endless unquestioning support. Pox on both your houses!

You should stop using snide demeaning language toward voters you need to win. “Fuck you, support my candidate” won’t work any better for centrists than it did for Bernie Bros.

No, you’re making the equation, and it’s become a standard centrist talking point. Maybe lots of primary voters don’t like mass murdering Gazans or AIPAC trying to block anti-genocide challengers.

Maybe assuming that people who question you are not real people is part of how Democrats have lost control of every branch and level of government. Maybe you need to scapegoat queer people for another decade and pretend everybody loves mass murdering Gazans.

Unclear how you think this helps win this race. You centrist assholes have become as arrogant and toxic as Bernie Bros.

As a never-Platner, I’d say you need to look in the mirror at all the toxic centrists and AIPAC hacks who equated El Sayed to the Nazi rapist. Sounded a lot like the bigoted Cuomo crusade against Mamdani.

It’s no virtue to tolerate genocide.

@simonwdc.bsky.social this cartoonish bigotry is why.

It’s not complicated. I’d say lots of Dems are fed up with establishment candidates guzzling AIPAC money to use against anti-genocide primary opponents. They also saw the rank bigotry that Cuomo used against Mamdani. Are you pretending not to understand this?
