MAGA are the high-flying Globetrotters posterizing everyone on the court. The Democratic professional class — politicians, pundits, think tankers, and operatives — are the Washington Generals, paid a lot of money to be pantsed.

i dunno the amt but those in office who are not actively calling out ice and passing or attempting to pass laws to control them are doing so because they support them.

dem / rep / liberal / conservative - it’s all right wing politics.

Yeah, not knowing the amount is kind of my point; I'm trying to show @FauxLiving that people don't know.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

it’s not a zero amount. which is the point.

It’s 7. One of whom has apparently issued a mea culpa for all the nothing that’s worth.

Still, can’t pass up the chance to shit on the Dems as a party.

shitting on parties is what a good american does. remember: dem and rep are both supporting of genocide and capital. both deserve shit.

Sure but around here the republicans can’t get arrested. 100% of Rs support fascism, 2% of Dems do and what’s everyone frothing about?

Yeah. It gets old especially after fucking up the chance we had to avoid all this.
