Could be worse, like in Poland, where the son of main editor of Capital (Ozjasz Szechter) became the most influental and successful anticommunist propagandist and the leading lib of entire country and is still at it, for 56 years, which is longer than socialism existed in Poland (Adam Michnik).

Day after yet another massive train derailment that could have been prevented with just the tiniest bit of regulation which Mayo Pete will not implement

Member when he said he can’t do anything about the factories producing baby food because it’s not capitalist to intervene lol

I mean, he's not wrong that it's uncapitalist to intervene, but damn what a lack of empathy

[–] huf@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

it's extremely capitalist to intervene, just not in this sort of direction

ok but neither of them was disowned by their father.

Came here to say this. Joe and Pete, by all accounts, had a loving relationship up until the formers death. It seems Joe was more of a stuffy academic than radical and most people say he barely discussed current politics.

Kamala’s father was basically estranged all her life, not involved at all enough to disown her. He criticised her joking about being from Jamaica when asked about marijuana, when she was in fact a huge cop ruining people’s lives over it. So correct take but supposedly not great dad.

Just goes to show that you should love your children else they could become cops

damn this is the most disappointed I've been since learning that mayor pete is not literally a rodent

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

My prediction is they’re going to pick Mark Kelly because he's a relatively safe and likable white guy from a swing state. Buttchug is annoying, unlikable, and has a piss poor record as Transport Secretary. They might also try Whitmer, but I think that's less likely.

Ah nice, CIA-stooge rat face ratfuck high high hopes mayo pete. Very nice.

Kamala is the Morbius of candidates

The coconut tree phrasing was a clever way to use/reference the concept of the slur "coconut" and maybe some of you libs should do a bit of research before you add this one to your vernacular. It's one thing between members of a minority group to use it, like "uncle tom" or similar, but if you're white you should probably knock that shit off. I've been seeing this shit all day and it's fucking whack.

it's a reference to this, has nothing to do with what you are referring to

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Honestly "Oreo" would be way more offensive cause that's more common, the coconut thing is coincidental cause of some quote she said or whatever
