Useful how? Harris was wrong to spend so many resources trying to attract Republicans that she thought could be swayed away from Trump. She converted very few voters, and lost a lot of voters on the left. Why should we repeat that same mistake?

Using MTG aligns you with an antisemite, and if it attracts anyone to your cause, it will be more antisemites.

First of all, @SalmiakDragon@feddit.nu is right. That's not what antisemitism means.

Second, what could possibly give you the idea that MTG isn't also bigoted towards Arabic people as well as Jewish people?

MTG is absolutely an antisemite and not someone we need to give more airtime too. Don't care if she's railing against people I don't like.

That's a good sentiment to have for things that need to be built for society as a whole. You don't need to extend the same courtesy to for profit endeavors that don't provide a general benefit.

This is not standing up to support building a homeless shelter in your neighborhood, because it has to go somewhere. It's more like supporting a McDonald's. There's plenty of them already, and they have plenty of other options for building more.
