    Remember that time Copmala came after Biden during the debates for his opposition to busing and his support for senators who supported racial segregation.

    That was cool.

    • If he can position her as a force for change for him personally then this could work for both of them.R_Kercz

    • Remember the time Trump said white supremacists were good people?mathinc
    • Remember when Pence said Trump and his pussy grabbing hands were a gift from God?BusterBoy
    • "Copmala", "Kamala is a cop", etc. seem to me like russian narratives and here you are repeating them like a stoogedorf
    • Trump man bad!!1! For fuck's sake. Have fun settling for this pair of centrist cunts and nothing chaning at all. ICE will still exist, The Wall will still existface_melter
    • Military spending is still rampant, environmental protections will remain overturned, medicare for no-one...face_melter
    • And the machine that created Trump and emboldened all his pinhead followers carries on.face_melter
    • It's not like we have much of a choice, _melter. Sad, but a reality we need to adjust to for the time being. Trump man indeed bad!!1!FNP14

    If Biden wins, he'll "serve" just a couple months and then resign (cause dementia, etc.) so yeah, a vote for Biden is actually strictly a vote for Kamala - the first female US president

    • You are dismissing the power of EGOBonSeff
    • Seems fairgrafician
    • She should have been president in the first place, amongst a handful of the other candidates. Dems have lost the plot.inteliboy
    • ^ yupKrassy
    • Even the Democrats rejected her badly during the nomination, her polling plummeted and fundraising essentially dried up
      ********
    • They got behind the person they wanted more. It seems like rejection, but it was really just their union on another candidtae.monospaced

    Would you ever imagine referring to their ticket as “JOMALA?”

    I know of a person who has already registered that site and designed JOMALA 2020 t-shirts. I just think it is weird. I am unable to remember any political ticket ever being reduced to a garish People Magazine treatment of names like “Branjalina” to represent established politicians by their first names. It is strange.

    This will be an odd question:
    In the past 5-7 years have you noticed any expansion of chinese shops around Bucharest?

    • There are up to 5k Chinese people around for up to 2 mil. ppl in Bucharest. No China town...grafician
    • There was a shopping "mall" called Europa with many shops owned by Chinese ppl, but that was closed last year I thinkgrafician
    • due to rampant fraud, no taxes being paid and not a single shop having a construction permit...grafician
    • This year I've seen on the streets so far exactly 2 Asian people - don't know if Chinese or other nation.grafician
    • weird, i was talking with a friend in Ljubljana, and he is witnessing the same thing i did few years ago: they are buying up large shops and turning these intosted
    • "wish" outlets where u can buy most of the FMCG products. And we think that this isn't a coincidence. U got any contacts to ask about this in Zagreb? :) pleasested
    • Well the Chinese took over fashion manufacturing in Milano in Italy for sure, but I don't have any info about their expansion into Europe.grafician
    • Or why would I have contacts in Zagreb dude? lolgrafician

    • Yea SNL is usually pretty mediocre. Got water it down for the masses
      ********
    • Bidens not radically left of course it's hyperbole playing on the parties current balance. He doesn't believe in anything. And his mind is walking out
      ********
    • But the party is swinging hard to the left. That's what ppl recognize. Unsure voters. And if u missed the transitional point see it's not about Biden at all

    the DNC ticket is exactly the neoliberal ideology in a fucking nutshell:

    - biden's adherence to "the good ol' days" and acceptance of the establishment / institutional media whose only use for new ideas is based in their marketability

    - harris being the identity politics candidate which white liberal women / karens and their cuck husbands will feel some sense of personal gratification voting for simply on appearance and not at all due to her record of being california's top cop... the ultimate underscore of liberal racism in the us, identity politics excusing socioeconomic arrogance as "pragmatism"

    win or lose this shuts down the chances for an actual leftist movement for some time - the republicans will have no problem taking back the house/senate seats they lose come 2022, and the american establishment will have survived the potential of sanders bringing gasp of hope to it all.

    then we can all die.

    • not to mention the DNC waving a giant flag in the air "dear police: we side with you and will do so when we get elected, don't worry"colin_s

    • An actual cop is perhaps a valuable perspective to have that high up, and could do some actual good around here.monospaced
    • These days, just suggesting we treat people with equal respect is considered leftist, it's totally insane.monospaced
    • @mono - i'm not saying line up the landlords to death camps, but america's center is pretty far to the right and needs legit leftist representation to balancecolin_s
    • most of which has to do with the combinations of economics and policing that i just don't see the democrats representing at all, evercolin_s
    • ^this. Feels like it was all reduced to:
      - being good = left
      - being bad = right
      while striving to be centrist?!

    Joe Biden decided that his running mate must be a black female, eliminating 93% of the population from consideration for the job. He narrowed that based on what’s not hanging between someone’s legs, and the melanin in their skin.

    If the best qualified person is a disabled, pansexual, non-binary Native American, then that’s the person who should be chosen.

    https://www.sovereignman.com/tre…

    • But WHAT IF she WAS the best qualified candidate and he picked her for that?grafician
    • Meanwhile Trump is trying to bankrupt the USPS. Fuck right off with this shit. Whoever gets Joe the most votes, that's who I want as his running mate!FNP14
