i agree with what you’re putting down here - this franchise gained momentum in the west for being distinctly japanese, not in spite of it. on the other hand i think it’s good to hear that they are challenging themselves and changing up the status quo, i wonder if something is lost in translation here or just missing…

In the end, the American voters voted in corporate/moderate Democrats who are smart enough to borrow Senator Warren’s economic plans because so many people are angry about the inequality (Is anyone sanguine about the ProPublica report on how Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mike Bloomberg among other gazillionaires pay next to…

“How do we get the Americans to buy something that isnt about eating cheeseburgers and shooting guns?” is what this sounds like to me, instead of suits realizing that Yakuza and Judgement’s success here isnt because they somehow ‘tricked’ people into buying them and enjoying them.

Okay, but then if you say what you should have said instead, your argument is bordering on the completely pointless. Because whatever the degree of inhumanity in saying “Don’t come” is, saying or not saying it will have no impact on whether Democrats stay in power or don’t stay in power.

A couple things here. First, Democrats have power right now. Second, I think you’ll have to do a little more work to show that being humane to migrants will cause Democrats to lose power.

Trump has only been out of office for less than a year and people are already putting the blinders back on? The way certain people treat social justice like it was a pandemic activity akin to making sourdough is disheartening but unsurprising.

If you’re asking, “what was she supposed to do?” then I’ll just say not this.…

Debt trap diplomacy; the IMF functions to entrap countries into imposing neoliberal (in the genuine, academic/economic sense of the term) structures and austerity onto their economies so that they’re more easily exploitable by (Western) capital.

seriously the khive is the worst goddamn group of brain wormed psychos. biden stans are a close second

As someody who pointed out Kamala had some troubling positions she seemed desperate to hide and was shouted down, I fucking told you so. 

If I knew, I’d run for POTUS. But obviously no one has the political will to try and fix this shit and it’s just gonna keep getting worse.

There it is. Unless a person has a full solution to a problem, they can’t criticize anyone for their approach.

Well then, we could be less cruel, or we could be slightly less popular with some voters.  Who wouldn’t let politics win out over inhumanity?

I mean, they don’t have to put people who come in a detention center in Texas.  They don’t have to just accept that border security (which is part of their administration) will molest kids.  Joe Biden is president now.  He has the power not to do all of these things.

You can talk as tough as you want and Republicans are still going to call you open border socialists, and that is still going to resonate with all the people who were never going to vote for you in the first place. It’s long past time that Democrats stop letting bad faith Republican attacks dictate their policies and…

She didn’t have to go down there and say anything. Harris going down to Latin America at this point was Biden giving into the right wing talking points to prove they aren’t weak on immigration and aren’t for open borders.  The same thing happened under Obama and he ended up deporting more people that any other…

I think the current admin actually caters very well to the fucking middle ground and will prevail because of it.

I mean, given her history as a prosecutor, this stance is hardly a surprise. If anything, it is a slight mellowing of her previous hatemongering.

I imagine if Trump said this there would be more outrage.

That’s my #GirlBoss! This is a victory for AAPI people AND Black Americans!/s

We’re learning about the deep well of cruelty that existed behind “nothing will fundamentally change.” What Harris is saying is illegal (seeking asylum is not a crime) and horrifically immoral.
