    Democrats are just the Republicans that haven’t hopped on the latest trend yet.

    In ten years democrats will be arguing with republicans to not put minorities back in chattel slavery because “can’t we just focus on ethics in gaming journalism? I just want to play video games!”

      Caitlin Johnstone’s take is that they are there to ensure that “good men do nothing” by being the foil to the republicans.

      Democrats could bring back literal slavery and maybe-later-honey maybe-later-kiddo shitheads would still fucking argue you should vote for them because Republicans would be worse to the slaves.

    Why though? Their voters aren’t in favor of the death penalty, are they? Is this zizek-preference pure ideology?
