New in town

They didn't even try to do a southern accent in their KKK sketch, so you just have 2 British guys talking about the klan lol

Yeah but those shots aren't even of the "city". When people say LA is ugly they're not talking about the palm trees and beaches.
Other cities have pleasant looking streets and shops and houses.

We keep joking that all the Olympic visitors who are coming to LA after Paris are in for a rude awakening.

My dad works in downtown LA and he hates it lol
It's just dirty and unpleasant and not a nice area to be. Even the art is ugly.

No, your line is "Democrats suck".
That's all I've ever seen you do on this website.

Yeah but the reason why it eats up so much of our budgets is because it got expensive while other things got cheaper.
In 1947, Americans spent 27% of their income on food. But since food has gotten cheaper, we dismiss this improvement because now it's only a smart part of our expenses

My name is Thomas Chaterton Williams, and my father - that is to say, my paterfamilias (a term which (for all that it may have fallen into disfavor among the current tiresome guardians of of the so-called 'discourse'(presumably for fear of invoking their dreaded bugbear of 'the patriarchy') I must insist on continuing to use to invoke all due respect for his formative role in my life - documented at length in (at last count) three of my seven published memoirs - came to tragic end all too soon at the hands of my other great inspiration, indeed, you, yourself - the very English language with which I paint such vivid prose portraits of both my own life and what I imagine to be the culture of distant lands - wielded the proverbial blade which struck him down, and as such you (hey, wake up, I'm still talking!) must prepare [1/147]

The Andrew Tate generation?

I remember the attitude in my high school when Obama got elected was "it's pretty cool that we solved racism, because now we get to make all these epic racist jokes!"
South Park and 4chan defined a pretty big subculture of my generation and a lot of people my age never reconsidered those priors

I don't think Kamala Harris is a fascist

You guys love putting "Democrats" and "fascism" in the same sentence.

It's insane. You literally have Republican senators like Ted Cruz opening up congressional investigations into Anheuser-Busch because Bud Light acknowledged the existence of a trans woman on Instagram.
And then centrist populists look at this and say "wow, libs are really obsessed with trans stuff"

I watched literally a few seconds of it and then realized

Yeah, my experience 15 years ago was that popular kids were popular because they were charming and talented and nice to be around.
The cruelty more came from the anti-social types.

Yeah, you're taking an entire big thing and distilling it down to a single point.
The point is that there's all of these terrible things about the democrats which we can generalize with this one guy saying "we should minimize cruelty".

"I think there is no better summation of the Democratic Party than saying you want to minimize cruelty instead of completely eliminate it"
This is what OP said. You don't have to guess, you can just read it yourself. OP takes issue with the wording of "minimize" cruelty instead of "eliminate" it.

If you love talking in paragraphs you should go back to reddit

"I personally would rather die than accept the less-bad option"
Ok.
What if the world doesn't revolve around you though?
What about Africans dying of AIDS? Would you prefer for them to die before you ever vote for a Democrat?

Lmao if Rashida Tlaib isn't woke enough for you then your side is cooked

>Clearly the issue you have is the specific word 'minimize'
Yes, OP was specifically taking issue with the word choice of "minimize".
That's why I called it a stupid point.

It absolutely is a dunk if you think it's a problem when politicians say "I want to minimize a bad thing"

Well we're in the second term of the Trump presidency but at least everyone knows that you're too pure and holy to associate with Democrats.

The people lauding Newsome now are the people who were tearing into him months ago when he was making overtures towards the right. I know this because I'm one of those people.
You're just lying about my motivations because it's incomprehensible to you that a Democrat would hate Republicans.

I didn't call them equivalent, I pointed out a different politician that a leftist would presumably be sympathetic towards using "minimize" in the same way.
Even if I did draw a similarity between ICE and the police, I don't see how that refutes or promotes anything said here lol

"People caping for Newsme right now on the basis of transphobia"
His name is Newsome and no, people are caping for Newsome because he's an attack dog who's going after the jugular of right wingers, unlike leftists who feel more comfortable criticizing Democrats.

"Of course Dems are incrementally better"
OP can't imagine that

Democrats are imagining a world where legal residents aren't arrested without due process.
And this doesn't qualify as a "better world" in your mind.

I'm sorry, I thought we were comparing this "better world" to the actual world that we are living in right now.

"They" refers to the Democratic Party here.
You're saying that Democrats can't imagine doing anything differently to Republicans. You're saying that they literally wouldn't do anything better.
If that's the case, then it doesn't matter if a Democrat or Republican is in the White House.

That's what you literally just said! If Democrats are no better than Republicans, then Republicans are no worse!

Right, exactly, the capitalist system.
