Weird, racist Dem congressman demands new Star Wars movies have a black lead, or else

[ColonelAngus]

The franchise has been ruined.

I do not care anymore.

 

[daveman]

Why don't they just make their own sci-fi franchise instead of trying to shoehorn themselves into something white people made?

Woke people aren't very creative, apparently.

Probably explains the amount of race swapped remakes.

I'd have to disagree with that, this is a group of people that have manufactured a whole new bizarre reality for themselves in which men can get pregnant, English has become an alien language, a pyramid of oppression exists, truth is relative, killing babies is a number one priority and mutilating children is perfectly okay. It's like a dystopian sci-fi novel that they actually believe is real, I'd say that's pretty creative.

Except it's not a story they're telling. They want to impose this "reality" on everyone, by threat of government violence.

Misery loves company and they're ready to make everyone Else miserable regardless of whether people want to join in their fantasy world or not.

It's just a shame that these utterly bizarre individuals have displaced the rational people on the left that could actually carry on meaningful conversations.

I know a lot of liberals. Good folks. We all basically want the same things, just disagree on the details of how to get there.

But leftists? They want to burn everything down and replace it with their unworkable fantasies, and if you don't like it, you can just stand next to this big hole in the ground and wait for the people with the rifles.

Oh yeah I'm with you on that, I was referring to those on the left that command the biggest microphones in the media sphere.

Personally, I make a distinction between liberals and the left, the pillars of liberalism are non-aggression, individual liberty, personal responsibility and free exchange, I really can't think of anyone on the left today that believes in those things, they're all just in favor of a larger and more invasive central government.

 

[LeftofLeft]

This is laughable. If the Star Wars franchise appeases this request, then it’s pathetic.

The classical liberal, the sort that won this country its independence from oppression and built it on a framework of individual liberty, are now known as conservatives.

Leftists like to claim they're classical liberals (they're just confused because they both start with L), but it's obvious that if they were around back then, they'd have informed on the Founders to the Crown.

I agree with you on those points except for your point about today's classical liberals, I'd say they are now known as libertarians but I'm biased and it's not worth quibbling about.

I demand we use illegal immigrants to catch pedophiles and call the operation “Alien vs. Predator”.

His constituents should be embarrassed. But they voted for him, so they're not bright enough to be embarrassed.

He lost his reelection bid.

 

[daveman]

He lost his reelection bid.

So, he's just trying to stay relevant?

How pathetic.

This Jamaal Bowman is the idiot who thinks pulling a fire alarm is how you open a door.

I guess this wacko statement is on brand for dude with an IQ that low...

Nobody cares what "fire alarm" Bowman says. He's on his way out of office in 2 months.
