Dammit I got curious and watched it, lost a good amount of enamel clenching my teeth due to cringe

That one white uncle of mine at every CNY gathering

Ha if only Dem leaders were brave enough to say something like that rather than deem it unfair to their friends across the aisle

SCOTUS: Oh goodie, more perks coming our way!

ResistLibs: Oh, thanks for telling me all about Hunter Biden, I’ll be sure not to vote for him!

Hunter Biden: Where did that bring you? Back to me.

Just reminded me of that SNL sketch CSI Sarasota with Betty White, where she goes around a retirement home trying to figure out who keeps poisoning all the 80-something residents to make their hearts stop working.

I want to choke these people and shake them, and drill in their heads that trying to outdo one another in declaring how shitty of a candidate they’ll accept Biden being while still voting for him is purely preaching to the choir, and makes Democrats appear in the eyes of casual voters as if they are performing some sort of death pact, or pain pig cum tribute.

This is arguably more blind religious fanaticism than demonstrated by the Westboro Baptist Church. There is a more plausible case for acting a certain way to be saved in some unseen afterlife, than to kowtow to these human-made and long corrupted institutions here on Earth as if they are somehow the way and the light.

They are ceding their strongest arguments against Trump by 1) Being as sycophantic as Trump supporters 2) Ramming through a president whom the people do not want.

I really think this isn’t even done so much to protect Biden as to continue the proud liberal tradition of maintaining the “negative peace of the absence of tension.”

Long term, yeah, that is absolutely the solution. But for that to actually wind down immigration to a degree that is undeniable to the populace would take decades, and in the interim a ton of fascists can make their case and rise.

I am going to say something as an immigrant that sounds like I am pulling the ladder up from behind me, but it is something the left needs to hear: it is wrong and harmful to our civil rights and pluralistic cohesion to expect zero assimilation from immigrants and enable them and their kids to exclusively huddle in homogenous enclaves.

My parents moved here from China and took me to many corners of the US to try a bit of everything, they even took me to a pride parade when I was 9 even though they did not personally agree with the “gay lifestyle,” and they had anti-Hispanic and anti-Black prejudices but encouraged me to learn about and appreciate other cultures.

My parents and their immigrant friends came here with the understanding that they were not here to replicate way of life in China and that their kids would not inherit most of their values. Over time as they worked with people of all different backgrounds they grew more tolerant, and upon obtaining their citizenship they took ownership of preserving America as a “melting pot.” One time when my aunt visiting from China said she was scared by black people, my mom cut her off and spoke defensively about how great her black coworkers were.

The Indian friends I grew up with who immigrated at an earlier time also “assimilated” along with their parents; they would be the ones who introduced me to things they discovered like Oaxacan food, and would go on to volunteer as doctors at Planned Parenthood or pro bono lawyers for the marginalized. A Muslim friend of mine who was super conservative and homophobic growing up got way into metal/alt music and its crowd is now an ardent champion of and fundraiser for trans rights.

In growing up in an America that demanded some assimilation, my immigrant friends and I became more liberal and sometimes even outright radical. And when the left talks about “countering anti-immigrant sentiment” the underlying assumption is that it is mainly white people they have to reach, or maybe spoiled and self-hating immigrants.

But check it, it is my Muslim and Indian friends who disdain the Visa mill immigrants coming in who have no expectation of ever going outside the bounds of their enclaves, who carry with them redpill views and behaviors that are not respectful of the common social good like littering and ogling people uncomfortably. It is me who grits my teeth when I see a bunch of Chinese people, some of them my own family, buy up an Ontario neighborhood and vote against allowing the local public schools to teach LGBT history. It is my Vietnamese, Korean, Hispanic, and Persian friends–a few of whom were only able to freely come out because they were immersed in American culture–who view the newer waves of immigrants from their home countries, given little pressure to do any sort of assimilation, as a sort of regression to the backwardness and colorist/racist/sexist/homophobic prejudices of their parents’ generation.

If the left wants to counter anti-immigrant sentiment, we need to honestly confront where all of it comes from and acknowledge that at least some of the pushback is more than just racism, nativism or classicism. The white liberals, and some of the very vocal second gen identitarian outcasts in our groups speak about multiculturalism as if it is almost like segregation, and have very un-nuanced HR-like rules about things like cultural appropriation or respecting others’ cultures.

But in actuality the edges bleeding a bit between the many cultures in America, the occasional misunderstandings resolved through honest if sometimes indelicate questions, being made to engage with cultures and beliefs antithetical to the ones you were raised on, has been a blessing for me and for the march toward progress in America. And I can’t help but feel like the liberals and occasionally leftists of today are fighting tooth and nail to exempt newer waves of immigrants from undergoing this process, while prompting my second gen friends and their first-gen parents to begin souring on more immigration, even if it is from their homelands.

Nearly everyone she has named happens to be Jewish so this really reads like that

This reminded me of this one time on Twitter, when a post-left lady was trying to get ahead of some leftists arguing with her by saying “wow, how original, now post the picture of the pig balls with poop on them next,” to which someone replied “Here you go,” and posted a photo of her face.

holy crap everybody but three of the Pod Jons on this list happen to be Jewish

It’s just terrible UX anyway, to link to the general website and not directly to your policy page.
