Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

When your pitch is We'll Make Good on The Promises The Other Guys Made, it is really, really, really important to front your party with people who have public's trust, not career political machine operators with no charisma and no way to convince the nation of the sincerity of their commitments.
uh it's much worse than that. these people fronting these policies are the very ones responsible for the problems they are purporting to fix

I dunno, I actually agree with reducing outsourcing and with taxing companies

I think the issue (in addition to that stuff not being enough regardless) is that, with the language used, there's plenty of room for the taxes in question and the "punishment" for outsourcing to be negligible and for the "independent trade prosecutor" to be given too little power to accomplish much of anything.

This is a pretty common Democratic strategy, and it's tough to deal with because the stuff they say is often technically good on paper but in practice is implemented in such a way that it can't actually accomplish anything.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

the liberal media is also pushing "throw women and minorities under the bus" really hard lately

just this morning, WaPo has a piece written by a pro-life Dems organization, and Politico has a piece about neo-Confederate Dems who crossed over to vote for Trump because the urban liberals weren't listening to their concerns about political correctness and the unfair oppression of Southern heritage

Non-musical hot take: Dril's a funny guy but the corncob meme has long since been run into the ground. (That is to say, it's a meme.)

Twitter rando calling it racist and homophobic and whatever else is pretty loving hilarious, though.

Musical hot take: That's worth something when you think about it, that is worth some money.

I actually have heard corncob used to mean anal rape ever since I was in middle school. But the usage by the left is super clearly based on the dril tweet and has no connection to that usage of the term. So they're just getting mad for the sake of getting mad.
