    I never thought I'd see the day where black America would try to cancel ice cube over his unwillingness to suck the collective phallus of the Democratic Party.

    And yet here we are

    ice cube is a raging anti-semite who idolizes louis farrakhan

    So is a good chunk of black America. Their kneecaps will suffer in time.

    Idk it wouldnt have hurt much to just have some campaign staffer meet the guy. Probably not as much as the alternative.

    Democrats as an insitutional force absolutely take minorities for granted and while African Americans will probably be the last group they lose a lock on it shouldn't be taken for granted.

    Its so hilarious that folks are trying to cancel him for the trump staffer meeting and not the misogynoir, homophobia, transphobia, nation of islam, antisemitism shit that has one for years.

    My town had a Freedom Rally and a funeral for a prominent member of the Hells Angels today.

    So the KKK, Hells Angels, and a shit ton ton of Republicans were all over all the restaurants not wearing masks and bring racist as shit.

    Do you ever think when a cop goes to arrest a Hell's Angel they go like, "Oh, fuck, I recognize you from the klan rally last Saturday!" and high five, or do they fight eachother at the klan rallies too?

    If Eminem had said some anti-Semitic shit would you want the Democrats have him meet with a staffer also or should he be rightly shunned?

    Eminem can already go get fucked, because he keeps saying homophobic shit in his songs.

    That convo a couple days ago in the Trump thread about how people think Trump will leave the country if he loses had me very confused. I’m not convinced the POS won’t leave the White House forget the country.

    it's a scary thing, but yeah. even if biden wins (which is still a big if) trump doesn't really have any reason to leave office. the republicans will be happy to have him stay, and without them there's not really anything the democrats would be able to do about it even if they had the stomach for that kind of fight, which i don't think is the case

    They wouldn't be unseating a president if Trump lost the election and refused to leave.

    By seating the legitimate President? Surely as soon as Biden is sworn in, that's one of their top priorities? Get him in the White House where he's safest?

    I think "what happens if Trump refuses to physically leave the white house" is a pretty far-fetched hypothetical

    but my guess is actually that he is a very stupid person and so he'd refuse to leave, assume that this would be good enough, then go golfing and come back to find that all his stuff is on the lawn

    Problem is Secret Service is also beholden to protect former Presidents as well.

    Yes so Trump's detail would just physically carry his ass out and bundle him in a van, no? The two details aren't going to open fire on each other.

    They also know that the former POTUS is not the POTUS and the White House is the POTUS residence.

    if there's one thing the past five years should've taught us all, it's that the Checks And Balances are even more useless at preventing bad actors from doing bad shit than they were previous. they all rely on the people as a whole who run the government to care more about the rules than about winning, the whole idea breaks down when one side says "nah, fuck that"

    More than one democracy has been ended entirely because the old president refused to abdicate and after the last few tears I don’t know why anybody would be sure that our norms or government apparatus will save us.

    If he refuses to leave(which he has said he will do) we all should be at least a little concerned if nothing else by the backing of a bunch of barely holding it together people who are convinced Trump is going to win in a landslide and are prepped to see any other outcome as their opponents cheating.

    Feel for the D&D mods, who have two separate Coronavirus threads, two threads about SCOTUS, and at least four active threads about varying aspects of US government policy.

    Even if Biden gets elected and gushes magical rainbow semen that cures racism, black America still has 150 years indoctrination poison and ripples from systematic racism to deal with.

    All those black folks on parole need a fair review, and that costs money.

    Same with a lot of other issues that are systemically racist without any individual marching for the klan

    Learning about the continued virulent racism facing indigenous people in Canada is a real bummer as someone who was planning on going up there to get a masters degree before the rona put those plans to bed for a bit
