Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Absolutely nobody thinks of Dean fucking Cain when they think of Superman. Except Dean Cain, probably, but he's a nobody so my point stands.
Sadly I do as he was the first live action Superman I viewed as a child. But I do think of him as the worst Superman so I have that going for me.
That’s your parents fault for not showing you the original live Action Superman, Christopher Reeves
Ah the good old days of Superman punching nazis instead of joining the neo-Gestapo and becoming one himself.
bizarro America
but also, yeah, it's been a nazi haven for a long time - it's just becoming a lot less quiet about it
He made this announcement while wearing a shirt with a punisher skull on it. The punisher would hate the shit out of this guy.
The Punisher would hate the shit out of everyone who wears the Punisher skull
Needs more jpeg
Including himself? Actually, yeah, that probably checks out too.
The latest season of Daredevil has that as running plot point. The Punisher hated the dirty cops sporting the punisher logo.
News at 11: Washed up former actor ensures he never gets another big role again.
Cain needs to STFU.
Simpsons comic book guy voice: 'worst. superman. ever.'
We can't afford to run a candidate like Biden ever again.
Bare minimum the next Dem candidate for president needs to be willing to at least try to hold these people accountable.
The oath is to the constitution, and we need to start prosecuting people violating the constitution and then trying to hide behind the oath as "just following orders".
I agree with you, but the problem is that the DNC doesn't think of you or me when they think "we". To them, "we" is wealthy capitalists and their cronies. "We" is whoever is willing to kill any left wing policy before it gets off the ground, at any cost. They would rather lose to fascists than allow a leftist to lead, because they value money over justice and equality. The party elites will not give up control of the party willingly, even for someone who represents overwhelmingly popular policies.

Guess it's going to have to be unwillingly then

DNC has ~400 voting members and their only job is to elect a chair. The chair then has complete power and zero accountability.
They 100% could have chosen to stick with the bullshit neoliberalism you're talking about
They picked the state chair from Minnesota. A guy that turned a purple state not only blue, but home to some of our most progressive Dems in office.
Ken Martin isn't perfect, and I doubt I agree with him on a bunch of policy. But that doesn't matter, the way he's always led a party is pretty fucking simple but very effective:
-
Run a non-biased primary
-
Support whoever makes it to the general.
Like, you're about six months behind bud, what you're complaining about was already fixed.
Just don't expect billionaire owned media to spend a lot of time accurately reporting on it.

At best what can be said is that a band aid has been slapped on a patient with an aggressive terminal cancer.
We need to destroy both parties. We need a real working class party.
Thanks, Biden.
Lol there's not going to be a next run, baby.
His family was interned because of racism during WW2 and he was upset about the racism directed at him when he was cast as Superman. I think he might be a few sandwiches short of a picnic if he doesn’t understand the parallels here.https://www.primetimer.com/news/who-are-dean-cain-s-parents-actor-recalls-racist-backlash-following-superman-casting
such a piece of shit
Through his biological father, Cain is partly of Japanese descent
Cain has said of his biological father, whom he never met: "He's not the kind of man I want to be. He was an unfaithful husband and not much of a father." Source
Daddy issues causing racism and hatred of immigrants?
I was gonna say, he doesn't really look white enough to be an ICE agent.
Imagine rolling up to your first day and they deport you.
It's OK, suddenly they are OK with wearing masks now.
So basically the qualifications for ICE are breathing and racism, got it.
Hmmm wasn't that always the only two requirements?
Lolz. You gonna bring Steven Segall with you? Fucking losers.
TIL learned dean cain was still alive. I also found out he is a waste of breath.
And that’s why Lois Lane is now a lesbian.
Because when your boyfriend is a fascist, and your other boyfriend has daddy issues, Wonder Woman seems like the only stable person.
I’m sure this move will help him get recasted as Superman in the next movie…
Relead the Epstein files
I wonder what needs to be on one’s mind to come into conclusion that this is a good idea
Fox News
Checks out, he’s been on the wrong side of things a bunch post-Superman… He’s probably gonna make a small pile of money as a spokesman or part of some deranged reality show.
Oh...you meant that Superman...
I would support deporting Dean Cain
That squares with him playing the role of the ultimate illegal immigrant. /s
Dean Cain was the only TV Superman who's alter ego was Clark Kunt.
it's not like anyone wants to hire him for an acting gig.
This guy continues to act on a regular basis, but it's almost all IMDb 2.0-4.9 garbage made for Tubi, like Andy the Talking Hedgehog (2.1) or The Three Dogateers (2.9). A decade or two ago he was at least getting guest roles on network TV (most recently he was in six episodes of Supergirl 10 years ago), but now he's apparently exclusively in animal (mostly dog) movies and God movies.
A couple years ago he did somehow manage to get a guest role in one episode of The Curse (Paramount+), which is the most notable thing he's done since that Supergirl gig.
He couldn’t pay off his student loans, the dumb fuck.
Kind of fitting for Übermensch.
