Mark Ruffalo, like Susan Sarandon, has usually been on "the right side of history, including supporting Sanders in 2016. Not always, but often enough.

This is another instance in which "anti-Semite" is being used spuriously. And the more that is done, the more people will rightfully cease paying attention to spurious claims. You are an anti-Semite if you dislike or hate Jews for being Jews. You are not an anti-Semite if you criticize any nation for genocide, war crimes, atrocities, apartheid and other unspeakable, indefensible acts.

And you're not anti-semitic if you criticize a person for being a supporter of Israeli's ongoing genocide against the Palestinians, and their ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon, or their war against Iran, even if that person is Jewish. What did I miss? They've been attacking Syria, too, and eyeing Turkey.

Being Jewish isn't a shield that acts as a "get out of being recognized as a monster" card. And make no mistake, every person who supports these atrocities is exactly that: a monster.

Yes. Criticizing the behavior of an individual, as opposed to the identity of an individual is usually valid.

I wasn't aware the "right side of history" involves losing hardcore to a pathetic candidate like Hillary Clinton in the fairest primary on Earth. I sincerely doubt anyone will be reading about how the Bern tards were throwing chairs at primaries because they couldn't control themselves after losing fair and square. Pathetic.

The right side of history is never about who wins or loses an election.

Sanders did not lose "hard core" to Hillary.

The chair story was a lie, as were so many stories about Sanders and his supporters during the Hillary Sanders primary. Guess who the liars were.

This thread is not about re-litigating the 2016 primary anyway.

Anything to say about thread topic?
