Lol get fucked. Sent with love from Canada.
While I get it, she is a Democrat who is likely a fan of what's going on as much as you are.
Oh, I did not realize democrats where no longer american. If when a democrat was in power maga people where considered so, then in the current situation I will hold all americans to the actions of their nation.
Don't like it? Tough. Its the same way americans have treated everyone in the world, so enjoy some of your own medicine.
Oh you want to say that the dems are "fine" and "nothing can be done"? Look at Nepal, and grow a spine. But don't expect the world to separate one group of americans from the rest without actions done to prove such.
In the context of leopardsatemyface the mayor's political leanings are quite relevant. It could even be said this whole post isn't relevant to the community.
But yeah, keep on with your singular attitude.
~~I don't have a singular altitude, I'm not sure why you think I would. I merely stating that a rep who has been public about her opinions on the current state of affairs is probably not the best candidate to attack.~~
Edit: Appologies, I thought this was a response to me.
Oh, did the mayor take a stance counter to the current administration? No? Did she just ask the world to keep coming anyway and support her city? Yes?
Seems to me that like most americans she is towing the national party line while wondering why the rest of the world stops supporting the us, just hoping the D beside her name will give her allies. How is this not comeuppance?
Yes, she has. She has publicly talked about her position as coming from an immigrant family.
That's a fair point, and I found a source for it. It sounds like she is specifically complaining about the National Guard deployment, because of her immigrant background. That's great. I would like her to push for things which are virtuous even if she isn't personally connected. For example, stand up for Canada's sovereignty and decry the threats that the federal government has made, instead of just begging Canadians to come and give her city money.
How is coming from an immigrant family relevant? Most people in north America come from immigrant families (unless you implying that the real fascists are natives).
