Racist, but everyone is just making fun of it. "They're rapists" struck a chord and fueled whole news cycles where the pearl clutching only spread the word. Eating the dogs and cats is a Tik Tok song meme everyone is laughing at them about because it's so absurd and dumb. Granted it's not been great for the residents of Springfield, but it's a "Kamablah"-style rhetorical whiff I can't see 2016 Trump making.

Would Liz and Dick Cheney support a bad party? Checkmate, commies!

💯😂 Sadly I imagine it's probably a sub-distro like Mint or Pop erroneously coming up as the Ubuntu it forks off, not an army of Bringi out there, but you never know...

I feel like he used to seem crazy, but it was like a Tik Tok trend you don't get, but with racism, and there's an audience for it, but ever since he got on that Hannibal Lecter thing... I think NOW it's just crazy

This isn't surprising. I was born long enough ago people still remembered a DNC that "tried" and "did things" as opposed to trying to be Rainbow Flag GOP for Her. If you were born in 2000, the DNC you've known your entire life has never DONE anything for you (or been caught trying) other than passing a further right version of Mitt Romney's health plan. They've never SEEN anyone even make the left wing argument except AOC and Bernie, who have been kowtowed into neoliberal lapdogs, while the only group of people making any argument things CAN get better is the MAGA crowd with their Handmaiden's Tale shit. If you never make a case, don't be surprised when people vote for people who are at least making one.

Very odd to be a vassal state to a mooch ethnostate with 1/100th your population numbers...

The management culture emphasizes a workflow that's heavy on low skill junior devs and cheap foreign labor of highly variable quality. You caaaaan do that well with infinite planning and QA and project management and test-driven design, but the reason you're trying to do it that way to begin with is you're an under qualified yes-man careerist dipshit trying to come in under budget and time, so you won't. And these are the wages of low wages.

You gotta love how aggressively they prevent users from seamlessly running executables from the internet, a VERY legitimate common use case, but a desktop shortcut from the internet? Run away!

Heck, there was even overlap with the internet where you could briefly lookup anyone in any city's white pages listing online for free! People used to sign their Usenet posts with their full name, phone, and mailing address, though. We were really stupid in hindsight, but it was a more innocent time.

He also recently proposed a credit card interest cap 5% lower than Bernie Sanders in 2020. He just says things. If you think he has a concrete plan for anything, I know a good feline life insurance company in Springfield... There aren't actually "sanctuary cities" to begin with, it's an inchoate media construct like "The Squad" designed to help villify political views to the left of Dick Cheney.

The blue MAGA mass downvoters on here are a real problem for the platform. I don't even get the point of it. I think they think that any disagreement from the party line leads to the DNC failing because it's like Tinkerbell, and only kept alive by belief and clapping, not just a deeply corrupt neoliberal party in need of reform, that is terribly underperforming in only managing 50-50 while the GOP self-destructs.
