B-b-based NY Dems?! Critical support?!

Full support to Mao, of course.

    I wish these 'expat' gusanos would stop making the Democrat party sound cooler than it really is; edit bc this article really makes it sound like there's a whole reverse-rainbow coalition of reactionary parasite bastards pulling this shit, so it was unfair to JUST limit it to the exiled Chinese landlords.

      They wanted to say: "See how the Democrats oppress non-white people?!?!?!?!?!"

          Leeches are cool little critters and actually help with a lot of blood conditions. They're great for dealing with swelling and even things like varicose veins.

          Their saliva/secretions are indeed used as the basis for some medications to treat blood-clots, though we don't necessarily use the leech itself much in those solutions.

          Way cooler than land lords. Also a leech will detach when it's full. Land lords will just keep going.

              5 years into a medical degree and I have never heard of leeches being used in any line of treatment for any disease. They may have some uses in research and in the world of theory but pretty sure they do not have a place in daily clinical practice.

                I am not in medical school so I will defer to you, I never ment to imply they where common in daily practice, nor that the midevil blood letting, or new age leaches where medicle, but I have found a few NIH papers on it... and remember reading about how its used in like didget reattachment because they prevent blood clots

                here is one paper I found https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5741396/

          I thought leeches during the medieval ages were kinda pseudo-scientific? Ah well...
