America is not the world my friend. I mean Irish people in Ireland have been historically repressed and reviled in and by UK and Europe. I dont know how prevelant it continues to be, but there is a deep history.

Humans beings the world over find ways to categorize and class each other on ethnicity in all sorts of ways that is fundamentally working with similar power relations to racism without it being reducible to skin tone.

Bernie wound up having a far greater political impact in the country than anyone would have believed 10 years ago. He didn’t have to become president to influence a shift…democrats have gotten alot better overall on domestic policy and the way Bernie inspired millions of us to demand this from the dems we vote for was hugely impactful imo.

“No offense, but if they cops don’t feel like respecting free speech and protest, you probably should expect them bullets”.

The 2020 protests were largely non-violent, and when that was breached it was typically because the cops brought so much violence. Its amazing to me that people can see a civil rights image and see the police oppression, but videos of cops cornering a crowd and then inundating them with tear gas and shit gets rationalized.

I presume you are being ironic but just in case the Irish have experienced alot of racism LOL.

The history of forcing slaves into limited food choices, and then caricaturing an entire race based on people adapting to those arbitrary forced limits…there are alot of layers of historical racism in play that could make doing this in a way that highlights those foods would probably play into that racism. Chicken and watermelon aren’t “black” foods, they were common staples of Southern slaves that had limited choices.

That said, those stereotypes are stupid, those foods are delicious to people of all races, so if those foods are served as a broader celebration or feast and its just part of the day without any emphasis or indicators of meeting (i.e., chicken and fruit are common foods for celebration so why not have them), I don’t think anyone would care.

You know any pastor praising Trump has to be a grifter lol.

Cybertrucks are dumb but that paint job is an improvement LOL.

Well not anymore since that song came out. =P

An even better idea is just terraforming parts of earth to be habitable again if climate change gets out of control. It’s orders of magnitude more logistically plausible than moon or Mars colonies imo.

Buddy, look up some facts on the distance to and conditions of Mars. Then look up how far a real human being has actually gone in space.

Mars colonies are a stupid fucking idea that scientifically literate people who understand basic facts about Mars know wont ever happen. Makes it that much more painful how easily Americans buy into that as a “plan” that a company is realistically pursuing.

Oh man, I was there and none of this is news to me. I’m not saying DNC did things right, im not saying they didn’t try to corninate her. Beyond that, they were insulting about it, especially Debbie Whatsherbitch Schultz, who openly scored us Bernie supporter…the irony is i was an lefty independent before Bernie and he’s what brought me to the Democratic party, but everyone “schools me” on 2016 because I also realize more democrats writ large preferred her to Bernie. Do all you perpetually online lefties talk to real world democrats and black democrats? Alot of them didn’t love and don’t love Bernie.

I’m do agree the fuckery was very dumb because she actually had more supporters than Bernie the whole time. The person who quietly got fucked over in my opinion in 2016 was Biden, who might have run as younger (but still old) version of himself except he could tell the Clinton camp had already thumbed the scale the process pre-emptively.

Above all, i don’t hating Hillary in 2024 is useful politically. The “Clinton Machine” being dead might be the only good thing to come out of Trumpism.

Add in the fact that some in the group demanding to be appealled to is out of touch with where the actual populace is at to the degree that they dont even realize that to appeal to them on unpopular positions would alienate more voters than they represent. Couple that with the fact that demands on items that are unrealistic to implement without wide-scale support in the populace, and you have a small group of people you have to spend alot of energy and political capital to appeal to, in ways that are largely symbolic in practice, all while that group insults you and offers next to nothing–“Dance for our vote! Grovel for our vote you fucking murderers!!”.

And then they are so perpetually online in their echo chambers they dont realize their views actually aren’t very popular, so insular they wonder why the rest of us don’t spend all day catering to their bullshit!

Odd and inaccurate but probably a sign of a bad faith actor imo. Lol, what regular person is going around supporting the USSR at this point in history, lol. How dumb.

Internet Ws and Ls are pointless.

We either vote in a way that prevents a fascist from regaining power–voting Biden–or we vote in a way that makes it more likely that fascist gains power again–voting for anyone else.

Period end of story, thats the end game. A vote for Biden is a vote for democracy, any other vote is a vote for fascism.

Voting for hopeless losers wastes your vote.

They should have done better and people who voted 3rd party or stayed home but knew the right wing sucked also fucked up. Both are true.

Dont make the same mistake again, that’s the point. Take it from a former Nader voter, don’t fuck up again, vote Biden.

Lol. I supported Sanders in 2016 but he wasn’t sabotaged, more dems preferred Hilary in the primaries. It was still a problem vis-a-vis the enthusiasm gap (Sanders supporters were more enthusiastic on average than Hillary supporters, but she had more supporters).

Edit: I don’t want to spend hours on dead shit at this point, but my bigger point is she actually had more supporters than Bernie. But also, why I’m a talking about this…damn it, fell for the trap again!

Lol, so Telsa is fucked?

Count me in on the couch please, BRB after I donate another $4.24 to Biden.

My point is it processes information very differently than how humans do. It doesn’t know anything about what these things actually are, for instance, leading it to give impossible suggestions. I’ve asked it for Obama hi/lo strategy to see what it would say and its advice included playing hands to win low that didnt qualify for low. It knew useful stuff and also confidently declared mistakes in ways amateurs who barely knew the rules wouldn’t do.

My point being, it works very differently from humans.
