Maybe dont support the wholesome chungus nazi just because he says he is progressive next time?

I wish the sexual assault survivor behaved in a way more politically favorable to me :( what a unnecessary and compassionless thing to say

    I believe you’re right, most of the comments I see (this includes haSSan piKKKer btw) are “wow he’s finished, I don’t think his campaign can weather this” and not “what a disgusting piece of shit I regret having ever supported the guy”. And it’s very clearly because they were already not just prepared to look past everything, but already in full not-listening mode when people are talking about his nazi tattoo and war crimes and whatnot

      Hasan, and most political commentators, always talk like that. It’s not because they don’t have a personal opinion, it’s because the overall analysis is more important than the opinion of an individual. Opinion always comes through such analysis, and you can definitely criticise his analysis and what it says about him, but you really can’t make any of the conclusions you’re making from the way he speaks about every political issue.
