        Wait, were there people who actually thought Marianne was even slightly good? She just seemed to me like a person with bizarre views on energies and shit who almost accidentally found herself in a position one iota to the left of the Democrats and who would instantly concede to the party line without even the slightest hesitation if she somehow managed to achieve power of any kind. AOC but farce. I think the orb jokes are funny but she'd do the exact same shit Biden and other genocidal fascists are doing

          There was about a 10-minute period back in 2019-2020 where she Reiki crystal'ed her way into something approaching Labor Theory of Value, followed by a bunch of semi-coherent mouth noises that implied a generally antiwar approach to foreign policy. That was really about it; I think she was already irrelevant before we got to hear any takes on whether or not granola and wheatgrass could cure COVID.

          People are desperate for a lib that isn't just a bloodthirsty trust fund nerd but the majority of them suck so bad that birkenstock wine mom who thinks war crimes really harsh the vibe is like the top 10% of the party morally.

            she doesn't think war crimes harsh the vibe, she wants more. She attacked Obama for being too soft on Syria/Assad, stating he needed to invade

          Yes I think that is the conclusion most of the leftists in my life and on this site drew from her platform over the years. Definitely also met some new age kind of liberals that thought she was their kind of radical too.

          she attacked Obama for being too soft on Assad, stating he should have invaded when "red lines" were crossed like chemical weapon attacks. Imagine being more imperialist than Obama.

    I'd rather confirm the stereotype of democrats than the stereotype of black immigrants being fucking heathen magicians

    What kind of puritan buckle-hat sentiment is this shit.

      Its always funny when they accuse the left of purity tests but scold people who don't cosign them becoming more racist, Xenophobic genocidal etc. I bet right now there are libs whinning about jon stewart roasting dick cheney. Hell the amount praising macron for that bitch move he pulled is a ton

    People from some countries probably eat cats, just as some people in China definitely eat dogs, but neither are coming after your pets and there is no real difference between eating cats & dogs and eating pigs/goats/chickens/cows. However if you're already inside the moral event horizon of thinking it's okay to murder some sentient creatures for food and your ill-though-out cultural mores say some of those are off limits (just because okay?) I can see why the only real avenue available to you, if you want to be not racist, is to deny that it happens.

      morshupls carnies explaining why mass murdering some sentient creatures is cool and normal but why murdering the ones they keep locked up in their homes is profane and horrifying.

    I guess she is a real democrat. Four years of red team: We love immigrants, ICE is fascist, concentration camps.

    Four years of blue team: Actually we want to kill immigrants more, we are the most racist, a vote for blue is a vote for racism.
