That’s what I mean by penal slavery.
The reason I only included Clinton rather than every president who has benefitted from prison slave labor (which as you say is all of them), is that to my knowledge he’s the only one who basically had house slaves provided to his home by the state prisons…
Special mention for Bill Clinton who benefited from penal slavery in the governor’s mansion while governor of Arkansas.
And the home of the slave
“Is your mom a…boy?"
“What do you mean you’re not hiring machinists? I thought this was the Chesapeake Factory!”
So close and yet so far 😄
Sure, whatever means our ism-flavored friends don’t have to participate
I’ve never advocated anything of the sort, nor will I ever.
we wonder why the ancient Dem consultants think waffling to the “center” will get them votes
Because their strategy is stuck in 1992 when there was votes there. And Becau$e.
It’s because no national party will ever pass the purity tests of the leftist-lefts-who-ever-lefted
Nope. That’s just a tired excuse to dismiss the valid concerns of people who are against genocide, corruption, and warmongering, to name just a few areas where the Dem leadership isn’t representative of the people.
So why make any effort to reach out to them?
Because that’s their job. And also how to win elections. The last time any presidential candidate won in an actual landslide was Obama in 2008 when he ran as a reformist progressive. Then he governed as a centrist and won reelection by a much smaller margin despite an arguably easier opponent.
It will never result in those people actively going to the polls.
That’s the opposite of reality, as 2008 proved.
they didn’t completely remake the entire electoral, political, social, and financial mechanisms of the country. ☹️
You know what representative democracy means, right? Because upholding the hated status quo that causes hundreds of thousands of needless deaths and bankruptcies every year isn’t it.
Wanting to be faithfully represented by those with the power to change what’s killing you isn’t childish. It’s common sense.
Sorry, no, the
leftiesNeoliberals decided to let trump win because theydidn’t get their unicorn with the sparkly tail and the little bowler hatrefused to listen to the wants and needs of voters in general over their owner donors.
Fixed it for you.
at the midterms they’ll find a new way to let trump win.
Sadly nothing to fix here. Biden, Jeffries, Harris, Schumer et al kept failing to represent the people and now it’s probably too late.
And a dance floor. The logistics might be a challenge but we’ll manage.
Yellowjackets are a menace here and I have a bit of spheksophobia 🤷
I keep trying to click hide but the brie doesn’t go anywhere!
And it doesn’t change to Camembert when I click alt either!

In Denmark, we don’t have an expression for the leaving itself AFAIK, but staying for only a very short while is known as “a French visit”

Pretty sure “pinko” means socialist in old-timey anticommunist bile
People called fascismus they go the house!
