    She seems like she’s very bitter and fucked up tbh. All of the shit she posts lately reminds me of the way JK Rowling posts, absolutely seething about a single issue that is burning her up inside.

      She seems to really hate Hasan who has never said anything about her but since he is the face of the US left she is now attacking him and calling him a misogynist

        He criticized her when she made her non-statement about Palestine and he’s been speaking about her recent twitter meltdowns. But he really tries to hedge what he’s saying, calling her intelligent, pointing out that he’s hung out with her, and saying he was surprised about the statements she’s been making

        Whatever is going on with her she seems singularly focused on attacking the left and everything she says is just dripping with seethe.

        I think the problem is that she’s a zionist and she blames the left for how much everyone hates zionists now.

        The thing is that she never had to make that statement where she both sides everything and made it clear she was one, she could have just stayed fucking quiet. The damage she took was entirely self inflicted.

        You can see the exact same behaviour spiral from Ethan Klein and to a lesser extent Destiny. All three of them share the same politics with different presentation styles.

      if you look at her vids her “voting” vid is the worst performant by far. i think it must really bother her that her libbest takes really aren’t shared by her audience.

          Does she seriously think it was dedicated online leftists that are totally plugged into The Discourse who who rejected Harris/Biden and not normies, who are mostly neither left nor right but have a contradictory mishmash of beliefs spanning the political spectrum, looking at the two candidates saying different versions of the same shit and deciding that it made no difference who they voted for because they took Harris at her fucking word?

            She knows. But it’s not about that, it’s about scoring points by owning the leftists and courting controversy to keep up engagement. It’s not at all unlike the typical MO of the explicitly rightwing grifters. It works. She is at this point essentially nothing more than the radlib version of the rightwing grifter and it’s not a new phenomenon to her either. As Awoo mentioned:

            You can see the exact same behaviour spiral from Ethan Klein and to a lesser extent Destiny. All three of them share the same politics with different presentation styles.

            I might also add to the list although a bit more crass, funny-clown-hammer (va*sh) who I thankfully never even hear about anymore, but who generated a similar response on this website, as seen in this very thread, with calls to limit posting about them because it feeds the grift.

    Wait, was Biden and Harris going to normalize relations with Cuba and not be hostile to them? They assured me that they would continue maximal pressure because they needed to win over moderate Conservatives and fight “authoritarianism”. Like, at least for these “lesser evil” libs, they should keep to only issues that they actually differ from Republicans.
