Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@Penguin Dragneel
It's a million times better than "Pearl Milling Company", that's for sure.

Besides, the potato itself is gender-neutral. It's the accessories that make it a Mr. or a Ms. or an unholy abomination made entirely of feet.

Lol why? Just why? Its an iconic toy that got woke! XD

@Background Human
Oh most certainly.

Please don't ruin anything for everyone. Last time something got wokebroke someone got MeToo'd.

Y’all are getting worked up over nothing. This is just a soulless corporation giving symbolic support to social justice in the hopes of getting more money.

Meanwhile, Arizona wants to give the legislature power to pick electors, Iowa is cutting election day by an hour, and Georgia is severely limiting mail in voting.

When Republicans lose, they do everything in their power to rig the system to advantage them. You don't see dems throwing this kind of shit with their loses in northern Cali, nor do they try to do it to the increasingly red northern districts of New York state.

Party of "law and order" indeed. They make the laws in order to protect themselves.

@Zincy
The sore losers party.

@Background Pony #1F81
This is the kind of small potatoes conservatives get worked up about.

Heh. "small potatoes". I crack myself up.

@Zincy
They should rename their party soon.

Now for Zincy's bipartisan rumblings.


Anti-Asian American racism is on the rise, and attacks on Asian americans have increased by over 100% in the last few months. These attacks are partially linked to an increase in Asian oriented conspiracy theories percolating among the right wing like QAnon and the other inbred hicks.

But, they are far from the only cause. In fact, a large number of the attacks are from African Americans on Asians, and racism toward Asians is fast on the rise among blacks.


We cannot condemn the racist white fucks while ignoring the racist black fucks too.

Facebook bans a video of Congresswoman Marie Newmann supporting trans-rights on the grounds of 'hate speech', while keeping Congresswoman Karen's anti-trans vid on the same bill.

Something seems backwards there but okay.

Sen. John Thune opposes the $15 minimum wage increase, citing the fact that as a young man he worked for $6 an hour and did just fine. Meanwhile, when adjusted for inflation $6 back in his day would equal $24 today.

I'm sure you did just fine with that level of wage.

@Dustcan
Not really, considering how the alt-right seem to frequent that platform a lot.


@neutralgrey
I was just pointing how how pointless it was.

@Zincy
Hasn't the black on asian racism existed, low key, in inner cities for awhile now since often times the asians are resented when they move in and open convenience stores and the like. It hasn't been a huge issue in everyone's face, but it's been there. Not acceptable, of course.


@Dustcan
This is what happens when you pressure Facebook to police these things more. It's not right, neither should be banned, but these social media sites are torn and posts and/or people will be banned on both sides.

What is Capitalism without Exploitation and Greed?

Texans are being hit with giant electric bills thanks to the winter storm. Texas Lt Gov is blaming the residents for 'not reading the fine print.'

I see the usual suspect showing how fucking fragile they are over the fucking potato toy

To further prove the fact that Mitch is a bitch, Mitch McConnell says that he will 'absolutely' vote for and support Trump if he decides to run for the 2024 election, despite previously condemning him and holding him as being the one responsible for the Capital riots

@Kiryu-Chan
When it comes to diversity, the majority always get triggered and paranoid about it.

@Background Pony #1F81
Let's hope the bastard croaks before that can happen because goddamn I really want to go back to life without having to hear about this shitstain family ever having a foot in politics ever again

@Kiryu-Chan
It's funny because I see these "true patriots" unironically claim that they basically want a Trump monarchy where the only people they want to see in power are Trump and his family and people associated with Trump.

Like…
I thought the whole reason the war of independence happened was because Americans were sick of a monarchy telling them what to do?

@Background Pony #1F81
they like it when they say stuff they agree with.

@Dustcan
oof.

Polls show that the dems covid measure has broad support among all three voting blocs (dems, independents, and a slim majority of reps) and yet the Republicans in Congress remain lockstep in their refusal of it.


This ain't going to be Obamacare 2.0 guys, public opinion is well against you on this.

@Zincy
If you're talking COVID relief as long as they remove that minimum wage part i'm fine. It has no business being part of that package.
