  • it’s funny that you can get that when you run a campaing that focuses on material issues for the most part and don’t try to court a non existent center/center right voting bloc that doesn’t exist

    In general the right left binary is not very accurate for capturing how most average people think of politics. People may be socially conservative on one issue and progressive on another. They might favor left wing economic policies but may not conceptualize it as left wing.

    Mexico i would say has a more culturally conservative tradition than the USA does, yet Morena was able to successfully pass all sorts of socially progressive legislation, because they were lowkey about it while rhetorically emphasizing the bread and butter economic issues most











  • While Republicans’ strident opposition to Palestinian statehood is clearly rooted in bigotry, the Democratic leadership’s role is more like that of the “white moderate” described in Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” who professes to support the goals but not the methods, who insists on endless negotiations with oppressors who refuse to compromise, and who “believes he can set the timetable for [someone else]’s freedom.”

    “The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative.”

    Well yeah? The only countries accusing China of mishandling the ETIM in Xinjiang (an issue created by the US through Afganistan btw) are the ones committing an actual genocide in Palestine, i.e imperial core countries. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Global South and Muslim countries in general are against the western propaganda about it.

    20 . Welcomes the outcomes of the visit conducted by the General Secretariat’s delegation upon invitation from the People’s Republic of China; commends the efforts of the People’s Republic of China in providing care to its Muslim citizens; and looks forward to further cooperation between the OIC and the People’s Republic of China.
