So hilarious when old men hang onto a hairstyle for way too long.

No, he's just not a child who thinks the idea of "reparations" has any real world applicability. The fact that Harris and others have already done this is greatly troubling when we know that it's a complete fantasy that could never be delivered upon.

Plus, social justice doesn't mean anything by itself. Provide some context in how it would relate to an actual campaign message that has something quantifiable attached to it.

I'm pretty sure 90% of the #YangGang are Asian-American weebs who like weed and want to Make Anime Great Again.

while his candidates platform is "give people free money" in a way that's never really been done before

Once upon a time everything had never been done before

Did you catch Putin's remark about collusion while you were away:

‘It's very hard to find a black cat in a dark room especially if it is not there.'

Your just gonna make poor white and Hispanic people angrier and black people won't feel like "this is enough to make up for slavery", so they'll just ask for more. You can't put a price tag on something like that.

So yeah, they have no real world applicability. Like, what are you going to do, give every white guy who is 1/4 African-American a fourth of what a regular black guy/girl would get under such a program?

I think we should just kill all white people though
