The democratic party is a coalition. It has wings that range from progressive to conservative.

Why would opioid manufacturers need cocaine? I thought cocaine wasn’t an opiate, so wouldn’t they just be drug manufacturers?

I mean I doubt it. After all, the next-best thing is Lemmy.

MLs are incredibly good at hypocrisy.

Abstentionism is transphobic.

Bullshit.
