Imagine trying to discredit Dolly Parton. Almost as pathetic as simping for ex presidential candidates or thinking Bernie Sanders had a chance to become President.

It’s your 19th August 2020 Megathread and Joe Biden is still a rapist.

    What's with all the dumb fucking libs who pretend to know more than me about politics not understanding the procedural reasoning behind AOC's seconding Bernie's roll call?

      For them, politics is aesthetic. Their aesthetic is being ‘smart’ and ‘knowing the rules’. But don’t confuse an aesthetic for ideology.

        Basically, people hold her up because she’s said good stuff about queer people in the past, which is cool and all but it’s basically the lowest possible bar for not being a total chud. Mainly her critics say everything dolly does is just about her brand. They also say that her whole shtick is based on some myth of “good white Appalachian/southerner”, kind of whitewashing some of the history of that region.

        “Dolly” (or more likely the entertainment company who runs all her shit, although it’s been claimed that she has “total creative control” also had a restaurant draped in confederate iconography called “Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede”. Don’t worry though, she changed the name. In 2018.

        She has some great songs, don’t get me wrong. But from what I’ve heard she shouldn’t be held up as some woke slay kween. As the other posters said, working conditions at Dollywood are famously terrible.

      Depends. Organising to do violence is definitely fed shit, at least for now. But if y'all wanna meet up or organise stuff, we can't stop y'all so long as you stay within the Code of Conduct.

    In light of the Alan Moore post that’s on the front page right now, just a friendly reminder that in the show supergirl The show let’s fascist agent of liberty simply go to jail while J’onn J’onzz evaporates the leftist Manchester Black. Also supergirl literally has the powers to absolutely destroy capitalism and imperialism which exploits women and children around the world but instead has spent 5 seasons of this show fighting mutants and doing things police and firefighters could do. So brave. So bold. Well done CW, DC Comics, and Melissa Benoist. Take a bow.

      Wow. Guess you hate postal workers huh? Maybe if you did something for a living and actually vote, we can get that CHEETO out of the White House! Then real change will be made.

        Yeah. Considered mentioning the enthusiastic bipartisan support for gutting the post office in 2006, but I didn't want to hear an unironic variation on this theme. The woman's living room is dominated by a massive framed Obama HOPE poster

          My favorite thing is that people are saying trump is ruining the institutions, procedures, norms, or what have you. But if someone like him can just win the presidency and ignore or purposely ruin them without any real consequences, then it just shows that those institutions don’t really matter or have real power. Most of it is all a show and as long as imperialism keeps going and capital keeps expanding, they don’t care.
