WTF - Are you even literate? Every kindergartner would be able to sound out the syllables in his name and say it easily. How difficult is it to say RA-ma-SWA-me?? Exactly as written.

Illiterate, lazy, stupid or all of it?

Maybe that should be a test for determining suitability to vote!

Calm down kid you take everything so literally. Its a joke. The republican stereotype is that they wouldn't vote for an Indian guy with a last name like ramaswamy. (Even a kindergartener would see theres multiple ways to potentially pronounce that)

How would you pronounce the word "presents" ??? Its only 2 syllables it should be easy for ya bud

The reason he’ll get nowhere very quickly in his campaign against identity politics is because the Republican Party has no ideas besides identity politics. Looks like Abbott is trying to one-up DeSantis

If this isn’t an example of identity politics I don’t know what is

Nobody knows how to pronounce it, and its gonna be hard for him to overcome that. But he made a really good impression on me. He seems like his main goal is to put an end to all this political bullshit and actually try creating solutions for this country. We desperately need that

I've heard of him.
Yes, he's a "dark horse candidate" - who will be less dark over time.
A lot of people know his name.
I know how to pronounce it.
It's going to be hard for him to overcome what? That people might struggle to pronounce his name? Hasn't hurt him much in the past - being that he's a very intelligent and financially successful man.
His 2 minute soundbite made a really good impression on you? I'm confident I can get two minutes of many people saying something semi intelligent that you agree with. My hope is you wouldn't think that makes them a strong candidate to be President.
Seems like Trump's main goal was to put an end to all this political bullshit and actually try creating solutions for this country. Hey, it worked for him in 2016. Might just work for Ramalamadingdong in 2024.

Has anyone seen the long form version of Vivek and Nimrata's birth certificate. Now I'm not saying it's a problem, but why haven't they produced this for us just so that we all know for sure? They have both had plenty of chances to show it.

Why are none of the major "news" outlets covering this?

yeah, why isn’t anyone talking about this?

It is the current manifestation of divisions that have existed in the West for 350 years and have been unofficially recognized for 250 years (or so). The expression of these divisions takes different forms every 50-70 years. The current iteration -- "woke" -- was principally inspired by Marcuse's obsession with racial and sexual minorities as the vehicles for cultural revolution but is nearing its end stages.

What form the divisions will take next is both unknowable and fascinating to consider. For the first time since the Enlightenment, society (and the Left especially) appears to lack the intellectual firepower to do much of any consequence, which may well signal the final triumph of Max Striner's "ego."

This fascination with ancient German philosophers is interesting.

So wut he is trying to say is all of this is just a repeating cycle that never gets anywhere. Like "Make Germany Great Again" or "Make Britain Great Again" or "Make America Great Again" or "Make Russia Great Again". It’s all just shiny slogans to rile up the rubes and probably to sell hats.

But I gotta say that anytime someone starts talking about the “final triumph” whether it be of Max or of Will I starts to smell propaganda.

Ok, I'll be the guy who asks how long before the Dems want to see his tax records?

if this great country will elect someone with the name barracks obama. rashida tlaib. aoc. ilhan nomar. shri thanidar. etc etc

we will elect anyone. no matter what it says on the birth certificate.

do you think syria is going to elect a president with the name John smith. You think somalia is going to elect a bruce Jones.

only in this great country can every citizen be whatever they want to be. Do you think in north korea some dude can just decide to identify as a queer bisexual pansexual non-binary lesbian. Nope. But you can here. And we will love you with open arms.

Not the only country. Do you know the names Rishi Sunak and Alberto Fujimori?

Here's an example of wokism fucking us over

And then there's this fucking guy... or uh girl? They? That biden appointed

Do you know the definition of "example"?

Its making fun of the fact that democrats are more focused on diversity than results

Somebody being the first black person or first gay person to hold a position is not a qualification for them to be elected

So you're under the impression there is a definitive way to rank potential candidates and there is a single best person to fit the job?

That's called satire. It's hyperbole. It's actually making a point that isn't entirely wrong.

Until idiots think it's an "example".
