I see Linda Sarsour is taking a page out of Trump's book andnow whine-tweeting the DNC and making angry Facebook videos about how we "need her." But here's the thing that most rational people understand by now: she's a liability to Dems, not an advantage.
She can keep getting the same 15 Jews in her social circle she keeps around for moments like this to praise her. The rest of us have seen the videos of what she says when there are no Jews in the room, the "people of certain lineages" & "the belief that Jews are supreme" lines.
Her desperation to act as if she's relevant to Dems winning 2020 runs contrary to the actual facts: that her support would hurt Biden more than it would help.
The millions of women who used to support the Women's March that left it when the truth came out, knows she's an antisemite, that she still raises money for an antisemitic, anti-LGBTQ org.
Her support for Bernie in the primary only hurt his potential as a candidate. He crashed and burned to the point that his former supporters in swing states supported Biden instead.
Her complete inability to realize that her own actions are WHY Biden's campaign had to distance itself and the subsequent temper tantrum from her when she did only proves what most of us already know about her: https://twitter.com/jcinthelibrary/status/1296522927047876609
Who would Biden and Harris rather have the support of? The vast majority of American Jews, reliable voters who loyally support Dem candidates through phonebanking and other GOTV efforts, as well as donations....
Or Linda's group, who spend their time on social media talking about how terrible Biden and Harris are and who weren't likely to show up to vote for the Dem ticket even before Joe denounced Linda?
@JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris are REAL allies to the Jewish and LGBTQ communities, not "allies" who claim they stand with us but spend their time attacking us. Their denouncing of Linda is testament to that.
"You need me."
It looks like you needed us, actually. Your own talk and actions led to you being a pariah in national politics so maybe spend a little of the time you're spending making the election about you figuring out why your touch is the kiss of death to campaigns.
