a tale in establishment arrogance

Even some of his supporters say Andrew M. Cuomo ran an aloof campaign for mayor that underestimated his chief rival, Zohran Mamdani.

The same thing happens to Russians living outside of Russia

no. are you going to say the same about muslims after 9/11?

Yea also Muslims after 911.

i would say progressives were less islamophobic than non-progressives

I'd completely agree.

which is not what "progressives hate muslims" sounds like. progressives don't hate jews more than most people do, which isn't high at all either, and nowhere near "most hate 99% of jews"

No I was referring to sentiment bleeding over from a conflict not specifically progressives hating the group. Examples being Russians who dont live in russia getting hate and Muslims who aren't terrorists after 911 getting hate.

Only for Jews am I saying Progressives hate them. Russians as well but I CBF arguing that.
