This is so depressing and enraging. Matt Stoller and Neera Tanden are both big-time, influential Democrats. I know Tanden is trying to argue against Stoller here, but they're both horribly fucking up. Both posts are out-and-out antisemitic. Stoller is denying that there is antisemitism in the US because there are rich Jews, and Tanden replies that Hitler murdered German Jews because they were rich. These are both sickening statements. What the fuck are they doing.
