Just absolute crickets when it comes to the people who illegally employ undocumented immigrants.

There are absolutely degrees.
What has happened in Palestine the last couple years is NOTHING like what happened to European Jews under the Nazis or Armenians under the Turks or Rwandans.
I would say YOU are the genocide denier by claiming these things are all identical.

I don’t find that answer “lacking” at all.
Why should it be perfectly acceptable to have a character who is a murderer, but NOT one who is a bigot?
That does not mean it’s acceptable for a murderer, or a bigot, to hold public office.
This is basic shit.

Netanyahu hates Biden and loves Trump.
That should be all the evidence you need that their administrations aren’t equivalent.
You’d have to be willfully ignorant and/or incredibly stupid to not acknowledge this.

They’re clowns propped up by conglomerates of local business interests, usually.

In any reasonably sized city in America, “Democrat” mayors are almost always actually Republicans.

Same here.
I think I figured out pretty early on that some people use your name for purposes of emotional manipulation (as evidenced by that Carnegie bullshit every used car salesman employs).
I want nothing to do with that at all.

Nobody is claiming this is the biggest threat to school kids, I don’t know why you’re framing it that way.
Suing a company that is peddling addictive substances to children in direct violation of state law seems like a thing an Attorney General’s office OUGHT to do, no?

I think that’s the Disney Plus sound now.

So there’s a class of people in this country who have little-to-no legal protection, work cheap, and are subject to the draconian whims of nebulous federal agencies when they get out of line?
Sounds like an oligarch’s wet dream!

If I’m on probation (which somebody who entered the country illegally effectively is) and I so much as jaywalk I’m going straight to jail.

Every American citizen is subject to detention if they are accused by the state of theft crimes.
Jails are full of people who haven’t been convicted of anything.
I’m genuinely curious, how is this different?
comment in response to

And how did that work for them?
Quite well, actually!
They get to continue acting as opposition in name only!

The only issue we need to care about right now is the billionaire class and how to stop it.
She and the DNC rolled right over and presented ripe buttholes.

I voted for Kamala because she was the lesser of two evils.
But she objectively sucked.

It’s good cop, bad cop, bro.
Spoiler alert:
The good cop is not good, and is also a cop.

There was a coup attempt on Jan 6, 2021.
Nobody was held to account except the foot-soldiers, instigators got off scot-free.
Meanwhile, billionaire profit continued to soar exponentially.
If that’s not a colossal failure and betrayal I don’t know what is.

Like, if I know two dudes, one of whom is objectively a piece of shit grifter, I know where he stands.
If the other, in opposition, does jack shit in opposition, but still wants accolades for ostensibly being in opposition?
Fuck that dude more.

The DNC attempted to co-opt the billionaire class instead of labeling it rightly as the enemy.
The people smelled their disenginuity because it positively REEKED, full stop.

If this fact doesn’t cause you to reflect upon how you’re coming across that’s on you, and perfectly illustrates what I’m talking about.

I do.
More people voted for him, an objectively horrible person, because they believed he was sincere.

The precipitous drop in child poverty is an objectively good thing.
Pretending billionaires don’t control the DNC is not.

You can keep telling yourself things got better for the working poor over the last four years if you want to.
Whatever you need to tell yourself to justify your large suburban home is fine by me.
I’m just saying your proclamations don’t conform to reality, and the voting public agrees.

What the fuck?
I legitimately and verifiably have never supported Donald Trump.
The DNC has failed miserably in “opposition”, OBJECTIVELY.
Tell me how I’m wrong?
comment in response to
post
The brand is not so toxic these days.
As evidenced by the popular vote.
Democrats are THAT unpopular.
Nobody believes the DNC gives a rat’s ass about anybody who doesn’t live in a McMansion.
I don’t blame people for feeling that way.

Oh, have I forgotten to mention the climate catastrophe that’s incoming?
Operating from a position that “all are welcome” probably won’t play well in the near future.
But you do you, bae!

We NEED immigrants picking strawberries at cut-throat prices.
But we don’t NEED immigrants driving forklifts in Amazon warehouses at cut-throat prices.

Our immigration system, as it stands, is designed to benefit the billionaire class.
They get to wash their hands of it because idiotic leftists preemptively claim it.
comment in response to
post
Until the left comes to terms with the fact that immigration is not some story-book tale of rags to riches, but a rags-to-slightly better rags at the expense of locals story, it will continue to lose.
comment in response to
post
The blame, though.
Leftists get the blame because they can’t say anything negative about the homophobic misogynistic hoards occupying the lower-to-middle rungs of our economy.

Billionaires import immigrants because they are a cheap labor force.
Go to any Amazon warehouse at shift change and tell me I’m lying.
Billionaires will continue to import immigrants because they are a cheap labor force.

50,000 Americans die, and hundreds of thousands go broke every year due to denial of coverage.
This is colossally wrong, and there is no legal recourse to be found.
There is literally no way to stop this abhorrent behavior other than extrajudicially.
Sorry, but I’m not sorry.

Just a quick question: Are you, or are you not, the media?

I really liked the first two seasons.
Seasons three and four are probably my least favorite Star Trek seasons of any series.
I thought season five was pretty ok, though.

Humans feel an INCREASED sense of autonomy when they are presented with FEWER choices?
That actually explains a lot.
Makes sense, even though it doesn’t.

Pilchard likes to pretend he doesn’t want attention.
