‘you are making an assumption that Biden voters wouldn’t have suffered financial harm from the fucked up way healthcare is distributed in our society’

‘Your whole comment is making a ton of presumptions about the life experiences of black voters from the poorest parts of the country’

Ah ok so it’s not because of what I quoted, that’s a different story.

‘She is doing so because the Democratic Socialist isn’t doing enough to prove he cares about her as much as he does the white working-class man in Iowa’

I mean if you’re leftist the only candidate that’s even remotely leftist is Sanders. So it’s less a case of “I’m refusing all these female candidates because I’m a fake progressive” and more a case of “No candidate is good but Bernie is the only one who comes even remotely close”

“Bitter, party of 1"

Awww, it’s a good story, Yummsh! It transcends class boundaries. Everyone wants to look cool in front of their kid. Eight year old children can’t realize the extent of privilege, so there’s an entirely innocent joy at play here that makes this feel pretty nice.

Ever since PE inception, Chuck has put Flav in check and on the road to redemption too many times to count. I know deep down Chuck cares about Flav, but this may be the last straw.

I have mixed feelings about this. No one should be forced to endorse someone because the band leader said so. On the other hand since Chuck D. OWNS the name Public Enemy and is the band leader he can offer their service to play but if someone doesn’t want to participate, let them sit it out. I think stuff has been…

Flav capped for Trump in 2016, I dont know how this isnt common knowledge to people who care about PE

1. Not one knowledgeable hip-hop fan in the US has ever doubted that Chuck D was a deeply committed political activist. Particularly, the group’s hype man Flavor himself. Even his fluffiest songs, like Kool Thing, are deep in to liberation politics.

Flav made himself an irrelevant joke years ago. The clock he wore used to mean something. Now it is just Flav’s gimmick. As orange hitler might say, “sad.”

Please tell me you’re joking.

Taking a losing position from the start is not great.

I used to think the Cherokee heritage stuff wasn’t a big deal until I started reading articles by Native American activists about it. It’s not disqualifying for me per se but to say her history doesn’t have a “problematic racial past” is totally inaccurate:

History: Warren is the only candidate whose history isn’t marred by a problematic racial past. 

To add to your point, the actors in major commercials are not making things up as they go along. They do endless takes methodically running through every possible permutation of reactions from mildly pleased to enthusiastic to so deeply overcome with emotion that their eyes explode.

This is a commercial that requires an actor to portray such a bizarre, intense attachment to an exercise bike that she obsessively records and each and every workout and excitedly forces her husband to sit down and watch the videos with her later. Those are such unrecognizably human actions that I’m not sure any actor…

Man, I miss Splinter.
