The most burger thing would be if she’s one of those those true believer ghouls who has literally zero vested interest in the status quo of US healthcare, asnin the health industry is not part of her investment portfolio nor is she being lobbied to vomit this shit out.

Well she is pretty fucking stupid, so some chance of that

Worth noting her financial disclosure forms have her holding a decent amount of pharma stock (she is rather rich)

I was thinking more of how Assad has been previously known as the 'Lion of ~~Syria~~ Damascus'.

[–] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Lion of Damascus, not Syria

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 13 points 6 months ago

double columbo-donk

Thanks for the correction!

I feel like Assad is a good benchmark. If this site allowed critical support for Assad, it must allow critical support for Luigi. It's not like Assad wasn't problematic in a million different ways

I don't think people understand the why of "critical support" here.

When people say "critical support of Assad", they are not saying "I want to live under the Assad regime" or "I agree with Assad's politics".

They are saying there is no alternative to Assad that is capable of resisting American imperialism to the same degree AND has good politics.

[–] ferristriangle@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

Exactly, the yardstick of critical support is not "some arbitrary measure of how much ideological inconsistency and discomfort I'm willing to stomach," it is utility. Necessity makes strange bedfellows and all that.

[–] ferristriangle@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago

No one said you can't have critical support. The mod statement was just reminding you that criticism is the first half of "critical" support.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

critical support Luigi

Did they pick the most unflattering picture of the politician on purpose? LOL

It reminds me of this picture that I picked from some DPRK news publication:

Does anybody have Adomian's Chris Matthew's "Central Park" impression? I misplaced that for the nth time on my PC. I never learn.

Yeah this is the biggest example of why the "pro-Luigi" adventurists are wrong. The biggest moron in Congress agrees with your theory of change. Take a good look in the mirror.

[–] AmericaDelendaEst@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago

yeah but what do they say about a broken clock? checkmate
