IL-Gov. 2018 Megathread

[Meatball Ron]

Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) has withdrawn his endorsement of Biss, on the basis that his LG candidate has a history of supporting BDS.

Which is really silly for a variety of reasons, but most notably that the Lieutenant Governor has no role in Middle East policymaking.......

Disgusting purity politics.

Standing up against anti-semitism is not purity politics.  It's being a decent human being.

Lol, BDS is not inherently anti-Semitic. Surely, some BDS supporters are anti-Semitic, but most are not and are simply advocating for a free Palestine and equal rights for Palestinians in Israel. A serious anti-Semite wouldn't support/recognize Israel's existence in any form.

Funny how liberals always chide leftists and progressives for their "purity politics" and supposed racism/sexism, yet are overjoyed when a gay Latino alderman gets kicked off the ticket for governor because of his stance on Israel/Palestine, something that the LG doesn't address.
