i’m convinced peiro scaruffi would win 100% of the dem primary vote with proper funding
If there’s one thing the Dem base of urban boomer libs loves, it’s screeds about The Beatles. Just don’t tell them which direction it’s in and he’d be golden
 
Piero Scaruffi said:
Nothing else grants the Beatles more attention than, say, the Kinks or the Rolling Stones. There was nothing intrinsically better in the Beatles' music. Ray Davies of the Kinks was certainly a far better songwriter than Lennon & McCartney.
...
The Kinks were probably the most original British band of their time with the Rolling Stones and the Who...They were by far the band most rooted in the British tradition, with a keen awareness of history and British values. In fact, the young Ray Davies sang about himself and his generation and the adult Ray Davies would sing about the British nation, his goal consistently Homeric in creating myth out of public history and social memory.

No choice but to stan.

as a proud 48er and founder of the kraut civil rights league i am issuing an official fatwa towards those who call kraut americans “dutch”. the average german american is a 34 year old from sioux falls who’s voted republican his entire life for reasons unknown to him and who is a chiefs/bucks/brewers/wild fan, meanwhile the average dutch american is a 67 year old protestant in michigan who runs a christmas tree farm and smacks little kids with a switch
elvis presley thought this btw
 
by far me and oppo’s best scheme was trying to get homestuck fans to watch burn notice while our buddy got into homestuck based drama on twitter, but i think our draft jimmy dore campaign is a close second
going after homestuck fans is like going after people who are really into friends

they're mostly harmless
