100,000 Americans are dead. Not one peep from the POTUS. Not one word of condolence to the families. He doesn't even care. And STILL his followers love him. Fucking traitors.

Don't underestimate how many people will vote for Biden solely based on the fact that he was Obama's VP. Yes, he's awkward as hell, but people know the difference between awkward and nefarious. I think a lot of former Trump supporters are going to vote for him, too. Some republican cultists are going to vote red no matter what, of course, but 90,000 dead Americans doesn't sit well with a lot of people who voted for Trump in hopes of change. People are eager to get back to normalcy and Biden has that to offer. He wasn't my first choice, but he's got my vote.

I'm so sick of the commercialization of the quarantine..."essential", "new and unprecedented times" and "stay home together" used as marketing tools to get you to use services and buy more shit. It makes me angry. Leave it to capitalist America to find a way to profitize this whole situation.

“if the american working class had an ounce of class solidarity that billionaires share we’d already be well on our way towards eradicating global poverty.” Copied from twitter user “hasanthehun”. Ain’t it the truth though?!! We argue about any and every thing, except no one seems to be that bothered at the ever expanding wealth gap across the board. In 50 years, the 1% and their descendants will have their own Westworld except instead of robots it will be poor people.

Your emotional response over eating dogs vs. eating cows does not erase the racist comments against Asian people that were posted here. American slaughter houses are equally vile when compared to meat markets in other countries. Period. Even the milk industry in America is disgusting. But we're 'Mericans so we're better, right? We dip live chickens in boiling liquid, but those poor, poor dogs are tortured by those mean Asians. Seen why it's a fucked up, racist argument, Karen?

Agreed, and Joe Exotic makes me embarrassed to be an American. Glad that loser is rotting in jail.

I don't think it is--I'm not saying one is better/worse than the other. America just has more regulatory agencies than countries like China when it comes to slaughterhouses, etc. but that doesn't mean anything is strictly enforced (especially now with the USDA on shutdown for audits). The bottom line is that we as a planet have to do better when it comes to the meat industry. It's atrocious and we know it but it's too profitable for anyone to want to change it to a system that would be less toxic.

This is ridiculous virtue signalling. I'm not going to stop calling out Catholics in certain African states for mutilating their female babies (and before anyone starts, I'm equally happy to call out Americans for genitally mutilating their male babies too.) I'm not going to stop calling out the sexist elements of Islamic culture in certain Muslim countries. And I'm not going to stop calling out countries with dirty habits that are currently responsible for a global pandemic that is directly risking the life of my husband who is a doctor. And while I'm doing that I'll equally call out the stupid white men in my country that are responsible for his lack of PPE. I'm not the person you're replying to, I'm just pig sick of any kind of criticism of complete barbarism being called "racism." Because it's not. China's actions are directly affecting us all. And yes, slaughterhouses in the west are disgusting too. So vote with your dollar and stop fucking eating them, then.

You think that's any worse than what a slaughterhouse here is like? Poop, flies, pus leaking out of untreated abscesses, blood, etc. Oh, but I get it--you've been to China so you're allowed to shit on their culture and say how much better America is. Newsflash--we aren't.

Not the one to whom you're referring, but Americans come down with bird flu, swine flu, E-coli, etc all the time. It's only makes the news when it's in large numbers. I thought this was common knowledge. My friend's daughter was in the ER last year with E-coli that they are pretty sure came from undercooked meat from their own BBQ that was purchased from HEB. Eating raw meat of any kind is gross and unhealthy. A raw cow can kill you just as fast as a raw marmot.
