re: #251 Anymouse 🌹

Ooh, a downvote. Shoot the messenger.

I only pulled the top four items from a search on the matter. There are scores, across all sorts of media outlets.

The Women’s March is being painted as anti-Semitic in the media whether local marchers like it or not. If they don’t deal with this, it will kill the movement.

Politics is about perception (oh boy don’t I know as a pale blue dot in a very red state). It doesn’t matter what many, most, or nearly all people associated with local marching organisations think about Mr. Farrakhan, if conservatives seize the narrative first, the Women’s March will be painted as anti-Semitic.

The reason the NRA is on the back foot now and losing the battle of ideas is because first the Parkland shooting survivors, then tens of thousands of teenagers across the country seized the narrative before the NRA could. They are now painting the narrative.

Local Women’s March groups need to unequivocally disavow Farrakhan in the media before the conservatives paint them as anti-Semites. That is simply the way it is.

I am sorry if that offended someone enough to give me a down vote. I try to be pragmatic, which is a must for an uber-liberal politician in a very right-wing town.
