ALERT: Another Group Attempting To Blackmail Nancy Pelosi

[Celerity]

102. we must be reading different tweets

Simply stating that 'I am not calling you this' but then going on to add layer upon layer of inferences is exactly that

It is accusatory through the back-door

she makes sweeping generalisations and also uses false framing techniques

She can bash AOC and it is a great thing, but AOC simply sticking up for her own agenda is somehow bad and divisive. Its a 2-way street, but not in Kirkman's world. Her critique is legit and pure as driven snow, AOC and other's are tainted and designed to aid Putin. The Kirkman's of the world never argue over substance, they set a narrative then try use that as a sledgehammer.

How excited Putin must be that a Dem wants to primary Dems. And he sends in his online trolls to split the party that just got in.

But it’s not sexist to point out that her using her platform to attack Dems and minimize Russia investigations is bad for democracy.

False frame PLUS if you look at almost all the newly elected Democratic House members (and Senate) they mostly all ran campaigns that did NOT emphasise Trump/Russia, many were very open about that, many of the centrists

they ran on healthcare and pocketbook issues

I have watched dozens of interviews that back this up

it is simply inaccurate for her to single out AOC on that and try and infer that AOC is aiding Putin

MANY on here (DU) are calling for the anti-Pelosi people to be primaried. Well, who do you think the ones that AOC is talking about are? Yep, a huge overlap, as it is centrists, not liberal/progs who are calling for Pelosi out.


here Kirkman really gets loony, she says unity is actually playing into Putins hands:

And that makes Putin very happy. Liberals who oppose her tactics - don’t horseshoe with Republicans and worry about her jacket. Just focus on the message of unity. Purity politics isn’t uniting. Spreading disinfo about what Dems care about or don’t isn’t uniting.

Thinking that you have to shut up or you’re not uniting is what Putin and his army want. They want you quiet. And the active measures talking points appeal to the good liberal in you.

she is arguing that not having a go at AOC is doing Putin's biding

Finally, Kirkman paints an ABSURD, over the top caricature of the leftish side of our party, amping up their so-called beliefs (and saying she was like that and thus using a rhetorical ploy of self-admittance and self-deprecation to make it look like her absurd claims are basically universal articles of faith on the left) to ridiculous levels (and basically, at subconscience levels, imply that people who believe even a scaled down (and thus much closer to the reality) version of these are Putin's tools):

I loved Bernie. I thought Jill Stein was legit. I thought Snowden was a hero. I’ve always been wildly liberal and this particular moment in my...life I was personally vulnerable to wanting a revolution cuz fuck it, MY life wasn’t what I wanted. I blamed Wall Street. I wanted everyone to fail who wasn’t absolutely 100% pure and socialist. I didn’t care if America failed in the process. convinced that a sweeping revolution could happen right away and that anyone against it was a brainwashed centrist sheep.

This phase didn’t last longer than a year but I’m ashamed that I had it at all. I was a politically active teenager. Organizing for environmental causes. Vegetarian since 14. I was always measured and empathetic and had friends who were not like me. But again because my personal life was not what I wanted it to be - and because I had a passion for politics, I was the perfect person to radicalize. I feel like I had a short stint in a cult.

that is a ludicrous summation of the vast majority of progressives

she is basically calling them cult members!

divisive much??????

The progressives and liberals are the ones most gun-ho to go after Trump/Putin and the ones supporting Pelosi. It's mostly the centrists that Kirkman supports who do not want this.

Maxine Waters wants to investigate Trump, but her party may resist
More moderate Democrats fear that oversight investigations will be a distraction or cause political blowback for the party.

Jen Kirkman has an out-there conspiracy theory about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Russia

https://www.dailydot.com/layer8/jen-kirkman-alexandria-ocasio-cortez/

Comedian Jen Kirkman is going viral for a baffling conspiracy theory about Democrats, Russia, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Over the weekend, Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who made waves running on an unabashedly left-leaning platform, said she wanted to support more primary challengers to moderate Democrats. In a call with Justice Democrats, a group that supported progressives in 2018, Ocasio-Cortez said she was going to back and recruit more challengers to incumbents, according to the Intercept.

As the 2018 election showed, Democrats who are receiving challenges from the left can move moderate candidates to more left-leaning policies and platforms, instead of watching them scurry to the center to capture swing voters. But, what if the center is where Democrats should be, and any calls for things like abolishing ICE and Medicare-for-all are secretly exactly what the Russians want?

Allow comedian Kirkman to explain.

Over the past day, Kirkman, who has dropped her fair share of theories before, said she believes that Ocasio-Cortez’s progressive platform is being used by Russian trolls to help divide the Democratic party. And that speaking out about progressive causes, while downplaying Russian election interference, is proof something is afoot.

That is not the words of a good faith actor, those are hyper-divisive bombs, ironically the very thing she accuses AOC (and unknowingly many of the candidates she actually supported) of.
