i mean, there's straight up an intro scene during the council campaign season where she won't let any of her campaign stuff happen in city hall which annoys aubrey plaza because they have to go outside of the building just for her to ask about a basic decision

like, there's alot to complain about the show's centrist dem politics but this is a weird angle to take

yea and cory booker and orrin hatch forming their own band together in the spirit of bipartisanship

there's way easier things to mock the show for if you want to come at it from the left

it's really funny because i've seen a few headlines to the effect of "I just wish they kept making Parks and Rec forever" and I can't think of a worse show for 2018. Ron Swanson taking down Trump was bad enough.

you'd have someone proposing free healthcare ponies and Leslie proves that it will never ever happen.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation. I refuse to see Black Panther because they didn't ask the Black Ranger to be in it.

For some reason I thought it was Amy Poehler who wrote it as Leslie. I liked it at the time, but it seems pretty dumb when I look back on it now.

It was a simpler time back then. You could simply bury your head and ignore the lovely skidmark of racism, sexism, stupidity, and hate that still stains America. As opposed to today, where Trump dropped trou, scooted around bare-assed, and left said skidmark on the loving flag itself.

Nice erasure of all the women, POCs, and queer people who were able to insulate themselves in a liberal bubble, but that's the patriarchy at work I guess.

It's not something you can just insulate yourself away from and it's still a form of privilege to think that it is
