Being fair, people are still willing to entertain Trump’s BS money losing schemes because they fear a very nebulous form of reprisal. Is getting pretty ridiculous.
maybe gamefreak should allow people to play their old fucking games on the switch instead of making them pay for used physical copies or emulate.
Fuck pokemon.

The simple explanation is that Pokemon fans become jaded, the self victimized act become unsustainable when it was clear the Quality drop was never going to be addressed in a meaningful way and Nintendo/TPC have no incentive to change.
look at that tiny fucking hand on kamala

no, uh. it doesn't count as a history. do you have anything with more meat? Policies? His actions while in the military? No? All I'm seeing is him denounce what he's said in the past about gay jokes and owning up to the mistake of the tattoo.

It's a fucking Nazi tattoo. Do not pass go, do not collect $44. Minorities have been asked to vote for some pretty shitty candidates "for the greater good" but to ask them to vote for a man who has a Nazi tattoo is a new level of "What the fuck are you doing claiming to be anything but a Republican?".

Why is B-dubs talking as if he isn't a liberal? Is he pretending to be a Marxist now?
but you see he didn't vote for kamala even though he tried to use the excuse of mentoring a trans student as a reason why people should vote for kamala.

I'm sure all the people of color murdered by the ICE loving Zionists will appreciate the solidarity of the old white minorities in Maine (95% white, largest % 65+ age population in nation) sending them to the camps so as to not have to vote for someone with a Nazi tattoo in a Democratic primary.

Honestly, they also act like what they are decrying, most of the time.
If anything, this an exception that proves the rule, as the only real difference between other leftist spaces is how insular and paranoid driven are the ERA community.
Before the Nazi tattoo shit, they were pretty willing to forgive that dude because he made a “sincere apology”. The “secret Nazi” is probably the thing that ERA cannot forgive if only because the forum encourages paranoia and the lack of distinction between bigots.
Starting to wonder if somebody else the libs are defending has a Nazi tattoo.

All things considered they should probably forgive the Nazi tattoo from decades ago before they forgive the Reddit posting recently, especially if they don't have proof he wasn't posting in or reading LiveStreamFails or some other well known Nazi subreddits.
Guy literally posts on a Nazi website pretty much every day:

On Bluesky in his replies a number of them actually do seem more upset about his Reddit posting:
Also they're organizing harassment accountability:

hmm.. all those points ahead of his GOP competition and suddenly hit pieces about nazi tattoos and anti-gay jokes. it's almost like his opponent is attempting to use terminally online leftist outrage topics to dissuade democrats from voting.
I wonder who would fall for this obvious tactic. No reputable resetera user would ever let themselves be emotionally manipulated like this.
Right?

Right? Janet Mills is the Democratic Governor of Maine.
But she's a Zionist, allows ICE to operate in the state, doesn't support ending the system built on Black Oppression, etc. so she might as well be Trump. Don't ask minorities to vote for her:
We should however get ClickyCal's opinion before proceeding: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/us/politics/janet-mills-maine-trump.html
https://archive.ph/m3OYx wrote:After Janet Mills, the Democratic governor of Maine, challenged President Trump during a White House meeting, she became both a folk hero to her party and a political target whose state now faces a federal investigation by the Department of Education.
Ms. Mills, 77, told Mr. Trump on Friday that she would not accede to his executive order banning transgender athletes in women’s sports. “See you in court,” she said, while seated with a group of bipartisan governors in the White House State Dining Room. The U.S. Department of Education promptly informed Maine officials that the state’s education department was under a “directed investigation.”
The Trump administration “will do everything in its power to ensure taxpayers are not funding blatant civil rights violators,” said Craig Trainor, the acting head of the U.S. Department of Education’s civil rights division. He said that Maine would lose federal funds if it did not comply.
Ms. Mills did not stand down.
“Do not be misled: This is not just about who can compete on the athletic field, this is about whether a president can force compliance with his will, without regard for the rule of law,” the governor said in a statement on the escalating conflict. “I believe he cannot.”
That explains the smearing even more. Establishment shitlib smearing a socialist. Isn't this what Era is always complaining about?

They certainly understood when shitlibs were targeting their precious "socialist" streamer who keeps getting accused of stuff by shitlibs and associating with people who later reveal themselves to be disloyal or even Nazis like Ethan Klein/Destiny/etc. But somebody actually putting themselves out for office to try to legislatively bring the dream of Rapture to America and they're like PLACE!

My ban reason says covertly linking banned sources; literally checked to see if xcancel was used on the site prior to quoting what I linked lmao, and it was used as recently as today multiple times.
That said, when linking it I was 90% certain linking it would get me banned, the comment falsey being framed as harassing women aside. Linking to Twitter isn't even banned  Just embedding.
And "covertly linking banned sources" does absolutely not sound like cop talk whatsoever

I modestly propose all white male babies be tattooed with swastikas that can only be removed with approval from a council composed of POCs.
