Even the New York Times agrees that women had better sex under socialism
We get the joke, it's just not very funny
also the Democratic party is a white supremacist institution
Please explain how that is without pointing to the origins of the party. Because anyone coming with a good faith argument would know the Democrats (American political party) changed platforms in about 1964.
1.2 million disproportionately black and brown prison slave laborers in the US, supporting the illegal occupation and genocide of Palestine, funding the police, writing the crime bill, supporting American military and imperial hegemony across the global south, more shit if I could be bothered to think about this for longer than 10 seconds
Ah, America bad. Got it.
Yes, America is bad because of the hundreds of millions of deaths it's directly responsible for. For more information, click here
I don’t disagree, but are there any large governments that aren’t terrible in one way or another? Individually, people tend to be decent, but it seems like the large organizations we build often attract and reward the worst of us.
And who do you hold up as an example?
Hehehe pig poop so funny. Such great users, can't imagine why you're getting de-federated all over the place.
About 1/4 of Dems polled think marriage between races is a problem. Closer to 1/3 for Republicans, but I assume you'd concede that they're white supremacist.
Beyond the overt and Hollywood education-level white supremacy, there is institutional white supremacy baked onto our systems and Dems are 100% there to entrench it, as white supremacy still serves an economic function of creating marginalized subclasses.
Here's an easy example: remember the George Floyd protests? The ones against racist police violence? Where BLM and related groups around the country were demanding defunding for police and investment in communities? All of the major protests were in cities, cities run by Dem city councils. Almost none of them did anything in that direction at all, and those that did rolled it back. Now, most of those cities are pretending that defund did happen so that they can give even larger budgets to their still-racist (personally and structurally) police.
I can't think of a single Dem I've talked to about defund or BLM or even just structural racism that hasn't committed "baby's first thought about black people" errors that are largely just rationalizations they picked up from Dem politicians. To be fair, most of them have been white, but it's still embarrassing.
Who’re you looking to vote for in the coming presidential election?
Wow, you've gotten him, you successfully identified that his only way of participating in politics - voting, of course - limits him to two parties who are largely identical on every issue except trans people and abortion.
Trans, gay, social welfare, race, healthcare, etc.. It’s truly unfortunate that I fully believe that we’re going to get trump2 in a few years when this idea spreads. It’s catchy and lacks perspective.
I think most non far-right, or how people in the us call them, leftist will just vote against the openly racist group as they are worse than the "left"(tm) rich elites that wants to maintain the current state as it made them rich
