  1. Why is that big dumb bitch Dvoracek still employed?
  2. Where I am has no bearing on that statement lol
  3. They're both ass. Avery Johnson might be the most overrated QB in the country.
  4. Mid-late 2000s SEC offense being showcased here
  5. Slippery balls in Dublin
  6. Come on man they wrote books
  7. Minnesota Democrats vacate endorsement of Omar Fateh for Minneapolis mayor Exhibit #696969 that the Democrats have endless smoke for their own left flank as opposed to next to none for the GOP. The incumbent here could barely scrape up 30% of the vote, and yet the Party is actively torpedoing the candidacy of someone that is possibly looking like a 2nd Mamdani, which is far more terrifying to them. Can't have too many Muslim socialists around!
  8. Reminder that an Israeli government official was arrested in a pedophilia sting here in the US, the Israeli government lied about it, and then the Trump admin intervened to allow him to return to Israel. Also, we're officially in the famine zone: Gaza City officially in famine, with hunger spreading, says global hunger monitor | Reuters

  10. I would push back a little on this and say that while these things are not punishment by definition, they absolutely can as good as and be used as such, like when the Trump admin decides they want to revoke student visas of people that dare to participate in protests against Israel's genocide, for example.
  11. Yes, this is what I was alluding to. This is the majority of people that we consider "illegals". Visa overstays account for like half of "undocumented" people by itself. Being here illegally is not a crime, and proving criminal entry is very, very difficult.
  12. Yeah. His rights are your rights, even if he is a piece of shit.
  13. Nice of Kamala to come out of her hole to...*checks*...sell her book.
  14. No, you don't get to try and glaze up his foreign policy as stellar and then dip out when you you get a small amount of pushback. That's what our resident conservatives do and you're better than that. It's a bad take, but nobody's trying to shit on you for it. Everyone makes mistakes. Biden did plenty of good. I agree he had some excellent legislative successes, and I even agree some of his foreign policy stuff was good as well. For the most part, considering the political landscape, he did a good job. That said, it's perfectly fair to discuss his absolutely indefensible and disgusting handling of Israel/Palestine alongside what successes he had. That kind of thing forever tarnishes what should have been a pretty decent legacy.
  15. Sure, but there's also a stark difference between being hesitant to call it a genocide, and outwardly refusing to do so because you are captured by AIPAC money. The former is an understandable, if highly arguable, position that you should be prepared to defend when pressed. The latter should absolutely get you tarred and feathered by your constituency because it is an entirely indefensible position, and unfortunately it is the position that a lot of Democrats have taken.
  16. Evangelical cunt Rot in hell
  17. See this is also a major issue everyone has in general. He 100% deserves criticism for that. He should absolutely be taken to task for the goofy ass argument he presented to justify not using the word. The problem is that people take any criticism whatsoever as "cancelling" someone, or claim that by criticizing one aspect of their commentary, we're "demanding perfection". It's bullshit. I'm the loudest anti-Israel poster on this site, I'm well aware of his idiotic refusal to use the word genocide to describe Israel's actions, but that doesn't mean I now hate Bernie Sanders because I disagree with him on the terminology. Just because most people can't take criticism without feeling "cancelled" doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.
  18. He was great on some things and not so great on others. I'm grateful to him for some of the things he did, including beating the brakes off Trump in 2020, but he also cost the Democrats a great deal going forward with his stubbornness.
  19. Sure, that would be great. That's not what the Democratic Party wants. They want people that behave like Wesley Bell and they largely have nothing but contempt for their base. That's the main difference between them and the GOP. The GOP despises their base as well, but they pretend not to enough to keep them captured.
  20. I mean you're not wrong. Mamdani seems like the best strategist the left has seen in a long time. Obama had great strategy but can't really be categorized as a leftist. And it's a moot point because Mamdani could never run for President anyway, assuming he actually wins the mayorship and does well. The point I was making is that while leftist policies are largely popular among the electorate, the Democratic establishment would never allow a leftist to be the Presidential nominee. Bernie is as close as it's ever gotten or likely ever going to get. Moneyed interests are what's most important to mainstream Democrats, and that's not likely to ever change.
