CALCULON’S BACK

nah yeah totally got that. just wanted to make sure anyone coming accross this knew to recognize it in the future as not being the same. i realized with your comment that a little bit of my intention was lost

Totally. That’s way I tried to make sure to say corporation

“we’re going to kill every last one of you. if you give me your wifi password i’ll see what i can do about getting you clemency”

oh my goodness! my first Nats fan encounter on the threadiverse (don’t freak out don’t freak out) hi

Gallup is an employee-owned corporation. i’m not sure where the funding for their presidential approval polling comes from

to me the embodiment of DC’s spirit is all the street musicians at a Nats game

there is a vote for those electors. turnout is generally low because ~70% of the vote goes to a specific party and what’s on the ballot is only how to allocate a small portion of electors in the electoral college. most DC residents feel its pretty token and prefer to spend election day not stressing about something that’s out of their hands. when they do turn out the vote, it’s an act of “hey. we’re still here, goddammit.”

also this is all making miss my old hometown 🤣. DC is such a great city if your political interests are more towards community involvement than towards voting

here’s a scholarly book examining how Han-centric views and narratives shape China’s government

this is also who ICE has been all along. Black people and irregular migrants have been trying to explain it for 2 decades now. people with access to power to do anything just simply didn’t listen

the Han demographic exist in proximity to power in a color coded society

the more you know!

they profit of catastophe. the climate crisis, mass “deportations”, a global system of child rape. all of it is at the same time a distraction and something you should be working in your community to address through means other than the ones the oppressors offer you

If Bad Bunny, a boricua, isn’t white to Morgan, then Ricky Martin, a boricua, wouldn’t be white either

most Puerto Ricans are tri-racial with their genetic makeup skewing towards towards African. the three groups that led us to now are the indigenous Taino who were enslaved by Christopher Columbus, enslaved Africans, and as you mentioned the Spanish. i don’t know a single boricua who identifies as white. i’m sure they’re out there, but they’re just not who i’m knowing. but either way, white supremacy guages whiteness by proximity to power within a color coded society. so like… even if Bad Bunny were 100 of spanish descent it’d be as you say, similar to how the Irish, Italians, Romani, Jews, and Ukrainians aren’t white under the framework of american white supremacy.

it’s also important to know that white supremacy isn’t a uniquely western European or so called united states thing. the all time promoting white supremacy champs are:

• the so called united states
• great Britain
• Germany
• Italy
• Russia
• Israel
• China
• Japan

At least DC gets 3 electors in presidential elections

Ah! That’s what I originally figured but then we got into a whole thread like there was a discrepency and I was so lost haha

Weird that the little edit icon isn’t up there

…Right. I must still be missing something. Because that’s what the original post says, too

…Right. That’s correct. Residents are US citizens and lack voting representation in congress and cannot vote for president. I feel like I must be missing something.

Also this is the case for US Citizens residing in Guam and Samoa
