Every time I call out fragility/racism it's straight to the gifs like it's some sort of burn. I should make a bingo card

Get the gently caress over it 😂😂😂

Because it's the same low-effort posting that you're ragging on me for?
But wait, I hit the reply button! That means I fell into your fragility trap, first by scoffing at the seriousness of white genocide, then by admiting I posted it in the wrong thread! I do hope the white power can hold me together. (Also: not white. So it would be male fragility. So mark the other square, please.)

I’m sorry to disappoint all the college sophomores in this thread who just read Das Kapital and really want to talk about it to try to get laid at the coffee shop perform wokeness but there’s actually been another century plus of intellectual output on these topics for you to absorb when you get through Marx and the revolutions of 1848.

No lie, I actually just threw out my copy of 1848 because it got all wet and moldy.

I remember seeing a context-free bar graph on CNN the day or so before Iowa that showed Hillary with hundreds of pledged delegates and Bernie with zero/near zero. It looked like the race had been decided even before the first caucus.

Then Bernie lost Iowa by just two tenths of a point. Without that small headwind of discouragement, Bernie could have taken Iowa alongside NH, and there would have been 10 days of clenched DNC sphincters as the various news orgs would have to describe what a super delegate was and how even though Bernie won, there's no way he could win.

There might have been a superdelegate snowball away from HRC like there was in 08 for Obama.

Someone will correct me on this, but wasn't Iowa a format that was in favor of Bernie? I remember this being a thing, that the format of the primary/caucus was an indicator on over/under performance by Bernie/Hillary.

So the last time the Democrats had a majority we got one or more of: single payer, inflation indexed minimum wage, criminal justice reform, drug legalization, reduced wars, and reduced deportations?

If the Democrats ever actually achieved anything, swallowing bad politicians to achieve good things would be a valid strategy, but if we need to have bad politicians to pass handouts to insurance companies what's the point?

That handout to insurance is literally saving lives so shut the gently caress up.
