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.

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.

no uncomfortable racial dynamics here at all no sir

I feel there are several dozen high ranking Democrats missing from the list of equally hated evil scumbags, I wonder if the author may have had some agenda that informed his sample selection?

Lately people have told me that my speech has consisted of words that sound Russian in origin. I had not been aware of this. When I try to think of my childhood memories, a location that appears to match that of Vladivostok comes to mind.

I do not know how this will end, but I fear that other Bernie Sanders supporters may have suffered a similar fate.

not to imply anything personal or whatever but this is kinda close to "I can't be racist because i have black friends"

I mean, if the charge is that you're racist because you don't want any of a certain set of POC to become president, it actually does kinda make sense to me that "but I would love if one of these other POCs became president" is a valid retort, yeah

To be fair, it's pretty obvious that the Democratic Party is specifically looking for a PoC candidate in an attempt to replicate the success of Obama. Like, the main two people who come to mind when thinking of "obvious Democratic presidential hopefuls" are Cory Booker and Kamala Harris (and the thing with Deval Patrick just came up recently). So if the Democratic Party specifically targets PoC politicians as presidential hopefuls, it's not much of a coincidence that those are the same people who are going to receive focus from the left.

I meant it the other way around, the guy conveniently forgot about the Schumers, the Pelosis, the Perezizazes, to make a really cringeworthy "point".

E: Disregard, I've just noticed it actually leads to an article that is actually reasonable and explains why the opposition to them is rational.

Biden is exempt because although he is far to the centre that Harris he looks like grandpa which is worth at least 1.5 single payers

what is your source on people liking Biden

I "like" him in that he would have won in 2016 but I don't like his ideas and don't want him to run for president going forward

Basically you seem more interested in arguing with strawmen than anyone here and you should probably lurk more

Its almost as if whenever the democratic party specifically looks for any candidate, that candidate ends up being completely trash.

to centrists, the problem isn't that families are being ruined financially, the problem is that too many families are being ruined too hard

their goal is not to prevent lives from being ruined, their goal is to reduce the amount and degree of ruination
