    also known as Romani Cob

    And the Romani (and g*psy) both refer to the Romani people, so even in this context it’s a slur

    Then again

    Gypsy Cob Register,[11] Gypsy Vanner Horse Society,[12] Gypsy Horse Registry of America,[13] or Australasian Gypsy Horse Society.

    It seems like yes it’s a slur, but it’s also so widespread it’s hard to avoid using it.







  • Trump’s Title 42 and Muslim ban were far worse.

    Biden waited 3.5 years to end title 42 and tried to close the border. He has deported more people than Trump.

    POTUS has no reasonable control over grocery store prices

    He literally does though. But there’s a million other things he could have done when he had control. Instead we just get excuses about how powerless the party controlling both houses and the presidency was because of Manchin or the parliamentarian or the SCOTUS or some rules the dems set for themselves or norms or whatever.

    There’s no point in quibbling about whether Biden was less bad than trump, these actions decrease how many people will vote for him. Implementing policy that makes you lose the election is refusing to stand in republican’s way.


  • We’ve been saying from day one, that if Biden doesn’t move to the left and use every tool at his disposal to improve people’s material conditions, Trump’s going to win in 2024.

    Biden didn’t just not go left, he tried to outflank the republicans from the right by facilitating genocide, ending covid protections, and passing the most draconian border bill since like the 40s.

    This is the closest thing he could have done to handing Trump the presidency, short of appointing him VP and stepping down.

    Yall need to learn some history.

    The liberal SDP split with the communists, supporting “centrist” Hindenburg in the name of unity.

    The communists campaigned on “A vote for Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler is a vote for war”

    Hindenburg won the election, getting more votes than either the communist or fascist candidates.

    Hindenburg, the liberal candidate, then proceeded to make Hitler the chancellor and staff positions of power with nazis while purging the government of communists.

    The nazis then barely had to do anything to assert complete control.

    The nazis didn’t get in power because communists stayed home, they got into power because the liberals would rather work with fascists than communists.
