    Off topic, by why in god do people refer to the democrats as the DNC as if it’s the acronym for the democratic party?

    It’s a bit like someone calling every piece in chess a “pawn”. It’s not right technically, and it sounds dumb.

      Democratic National Committee. It’s a good shorthand for the establishment fucks who run everything.

      Tangentially, I recently learned that the Democratic party was founded before the Grand Old Party. That annoys me more.

      Because you guys all fall in line with whatever they say. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

      So yeah, Democrats ARE the DNC.

      I mean, folks on this site automatically label anyone who says they are Republican, conservative, or even just take issue with one single thing about the Democratic nominee as “racist, misogynist, xenophobic Nazi MAGA pieces of dog shit that deserve death”

      I think you guys got the easier end of the bargain.

      Just as an aside: I find it a bit funny that you used the “pawn” example with not one hint of irony.

        Really? I’ve always seen them labeled as the GOP which makes a lot more sense than the DNC cause it actually stands for something.
