    Yeah this is the biggest example of why the "pro-Luigi" adventurists are wrong. The biggest moron in Congress agrees with your theory of change. Take a good look in the mirror.

    Does anybody have Adomian's Chris Matthew's "Central Park" impression? I misplaced that for the nth time on my PC. I never learn.

      I feel like Assad is a good benchmark. If this site allowed critical support for Assad, it must allow critical support for Luigi. It's not like Assad wasn't problematic in a million different ways

        No one said you can't have critical support. The mod statement was just reminding you that criticism is the first half of "critical" support.

        I don't think people understand the why of "critical support" here.

        When people say "critical support of Assad", they are not saying "I want to live under the Assad regime" or "I agree with Assad's politics".

        They are saying there is no alternative to Assad that is capable of resisting American imperialism to the same degree AND has good politics.

          Exactly, the yardstick of critical support is not "some arbitrary measure of how much ideological inconsistency and discomfort I'm willing to stomach," it is utility. Necessity makes strange bedfellows and all that.

      Did they pick the most unflattering picture of the politician on purpose? LOL

      It reminds me of this picture that I picked from some DPRK news publication:

      The most burger thing would be if she’s one of those those true believer ghouls who has literally zero vested interest in the status quo of US healthcare, asnin the health industry is not part of her investment portfolio nor is she being lobbied to vomit this shit out.

        Well she is pretty fucking stupid, so some chance of that

        Worth noting her financial disclosure forms have her holding a decent amount of pharma stock (she is rather rich)
