Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) is revoking his membership in the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) over its promotion of what he said was an antisemitic rally in New York City.
“Today, I am officially renouncing my membership in the Democratic Socialists of America. After the brutal terrorist attacks on Israel, which included the indiscriminate murder, rape, and kidnapping of innocent men, women, and children, I can no longer associate with an organization unwilling to call out terrorism in all its forms,” he wrote in a statement Wednesday.
Thanedar, formerly one of the six members of the DSA in Congress, said that a rally in Times Square on Sunday pushed him to make the decision.
The rally, held just one day after Hamas launched its deadly attack on Israel, was also denounced by other lawmakers and officials.
“Sunday’s hate-filled and antisemitic rally in New York City, promoted by the NYC-DSA, makes it impossible for me to continue my affiliation. I stand with Israel and its right to defend itself. There is no place for moral equivocation in the face of unadulterated evil as we have seen from Hamas,” Thanedar added.
She denounced the problematic people that showed up with nazi flags…

That makes sense, and I don’t know anyone that would disagree with that.
This chucklefuck seems to think a handful of bigots means the DSA supports nazis. Which is fucking stupid for a lot of reasons that shouldn’t need explaining.

It’s right there…
And something her and other progressives have been saying for like a decade now.
It seems like you want to make it sound like AOC is condemning anyone that’s not sucking off Netenyahu
I don’t think I’m going to be able to help you. And I definitely don’t want to spend my morning trying to find out.
Try someone else.
You know you’re in for a bad day when givesomefucks doesn’t give a fuck!

Well what is the point you’re trying to make then? Just out with it and quit being a douche.
