Some people here may not have ever heard of Shakesville. It was a magical place.

    Poor Bernie. He’s had to deal with basically all of his coworkers being liberal capitalist losers. The guy says “they have great healthcare and they are solving the homeless crisis better than we are” and they trash him.

    Hey, remind me what was going on in 1988 in the propaganda-free bastion of democracy that is the USA? Oh right, it was when the presidential election reached a turning point due to the Revolving Door and Willie Horton ads, which used racist dogwhistles to imply that Dukakis was “soft on crime”. Also, the person who created those ads (Roger Ailes) would later become the CEO of Fox News.

    The only reason I know about Shakesville is because Twitter main character Ana Mardoll wrote for them, apparently

      The main writer was one of my favorite Chapo characters. It was like a CHUD parody of what a feminist is came to life, and decided to ride or die for Hillary.

        Probably my “favorite” Shakesville moment was when the blog’s founder

        CW: Transphobia

        posted glowing praise of a TERF, got criticized for it in the post’s comments, and responded by haranguing those critics for daring to question her good nature. cissues

          Remember when Melissa claimed Bernie (and therefore his followers) was racist because he said “working class people and people of color”. This according to her was because he believed they were mutually exclusive.

            That was “15 minute cities means you’re not allowed to leave your designated area” levels of maliciously misinterpreting someone’s words

    “enormous deficiencies”

    Hmm I wonder why he said that. It’s not like the US have constantly gerrymandered districts and challenged voting rights of their own citizens. amerikkka

    Maybe its a good thing that they don’t let businesses influence politics but what do I know?
