Hi everyone, I know that the video clip of Marianne and I speaking about the Palestine/Israel issue is going viral but I really really want us to speak in terms of nuance when it comes to this election. Marianne is the only candidate calling for a CEASEFIRE in either the democratic or republican parties. Aka the other two options we’re talking about rn believe in whole heartedly backing & supporting the occupation and current genocide. While I understand many of us do not agree with her in totality on this point, WE ARE FAR from living in a reality where we have a perfect candidate that will meet every requirement we seek. I believe Marianne is a better option than Biden PERIOD when we’re speaking specifically to the Democratic Party and the reality of the candidates we have as options. I am highlighting her in the 2 HOUR live that I did with her and I believe it is worth watching in its totality and not just get hung up on how she reacted to a very personal and triggering topic/question for her. She still (in totality) is the only one calling for a ceasefire, the only one willing to look at the situation from a lens of peace that acknowledges Palestinians as Palestinians, and the only one who has called out the corruption in the US and has a tangible plan for what she wants to do with it. We are not choosing perfect candidates rn, they do not exist. I’ll break this down more but I want us to be open minded and SO FFR with ourselves about what’s at stake here!!
There's great misrepresentation of my views (hardly new) bouncing around the internet today, and I'm posting my videos on the subject for those who are interested. I won't be getting into conversation about it on twitter, but I'd like my actual work to be represented rather than words taken out of context. I'm not expecting everyone to agree with me, nor is that my goal. But projection and slander aren't the stuff of meaningful debate.
