      Yup, they have their part to play in the Bread and Circus. Incidentally, Super Mario Brothers is a great game. Many like to play Mario, but the role of Luigi is often overlooked.

        Luigi could jump the highest of all the playable characters in Super Mario Bros 2. He was always my go-to character for this reason. Those egg flinging dinosaur fucks be damned!

      Yeah, it’s so unsurprising. It’s why I believe the US Demoractic party of today is, at least to some degree, controlled opposition. I don’t like this theory, but I cannot see a more rational explanation for their behavior. They’ve been letting the Republicans walk all over them for years. Why?

      • They are controlled opposition. At this point in my life I don’t care how it comes across to make such a claim. They are just as corpo as the republicans. They spend more energy killing anything remotely good for working class people, more effort on killing anything even remotely resembling a left of center within than fighting against a party that has been circling the fascist drain for decades. Corey Booker is a microcosm of the party; all performative grandstanding in the moment with not only inaction but counter action of what the performance was meant to invoke and/or inspire. Don’t worry though. They still have your email and will ask for a paltry hundred dollar donation to FIGHT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION come mid terms. Democrats are the Generals and the Republicans are the Globe Trotters. Trump spins a ball on his finger and everyone just gawks instead of playing defense.
