i have no earthly idea how any person, let alone an entire clique of internet neolibs, can look at ken with a man bun and have their mind immediately go to "BERNIE BRO LOL"

even matt yglesias has had enough of this poo poo ffs. credit where it's due, he's now on team "bernie would have won" and thinks pelosi needs to step aside. that's why a twitter neolib chastised him in that one pic

I don't think they have noticed that most Americans across the political spectrum don't actually view the words "Dude" and "Bro" as inherently negative things to call someone. Should somebody tell them they might do better if their insults were actually recognized as insults?
they'd call them "douchebags" and "peckerheads" if they weren't such slaves to civility

Once technological progress has done away with the need for labor and people have no more political use or power, I'm sure the government will have more direct ways of reducing the population.

Done in Peurto Rico in the 50s - basically routinely sterlized women (often after giving birth, before they left the hospital) without informed consent. Sterilized over a third of the women in the country.

I think the person nailed it. By doing this they really marginalize minorities and women who are to the left of them with this sort of crap.

It's funny to see these people refuse to let go though.

but manbun ken would probaly just be some hack writer on some poo poo site making "insightful" hot takes about how woke or progressive something is or is not, then talk about how great and woke he is for voting for hilary on twitter, then get drunk and finger women against their will in bars. then he would go on twitter and rail about how all white people should be sterilized or something edgy like that, then he will beg daddy and mommy for another payment while he walks passed homeless people.

It's weird because every other bernie supporter I knew went "Hey we want to help. Here's some ideas to help win the elections".

These offers were met with "gently caress you" and "We'll win without you".. Like I was told that being concerned about the rust belt was irrelevant because she'd get minorities to counter balance Trump voters. I was saying this as I saw Trump sign after Trump signs all over Northeast Ohio, Central Indiana, Southern Ohio, West Virginia, Michigan and PA.

The very same people would welcome "NEVER TRUMP" conservatives with open arms for some reason.

as i mentioned in an earlier post, matt yglesias is coming around too. but i can't agree with fuzzyskinner about the opposite view being funny. it would be if it weren't such a widespread and nearly universal belief among the ruling DNC clique, regardless of the fact that 3% of the party thinks that way. it's about quality, not quantity
