what does any of this mean lol? nyc, dem, dnc, vote blue? wtf
because the one who won the primaries isn't the one who the dnc actually likes. dnc establishment is thinking of having cuomo running as an independent against him. so, 'vote blue no matter who' has now been turned around on those jackasses who kept shoving shit condidates down our throats.
NYC - New York city
DEM - Democrats (political party, they call themselves left, but they are only left if compared with Trump's fascism)
DNC - democratic Nationals convention (interchange with democrats)
Vote Blue - Blue is the democrat colour. and a reference to "Vote blue no matter how" which they campaign on so their unpopular right leaning candidates get votes because the alternative was Trump.
New York just had primaries (an election where they decide who will be the democratic candidate for the real mayoral election), and a democratic socialist won, despite the democratic party pushing for a corrup rapist.
It's just a case of Americentrism.
I'm getting plenty of German posts as well, It's just a consequence of having an international demographic and a significant percentage of them being from one place.
better to ignore it than complain.
It's easy to filter out German communities and instances. What's not easy to filter out is the posts in any English speaking sub that think America is in the center.
I'm not complaining either. I'm just stating a fact because MotherForker did not understand where all these American based terms come from and why Americans think everybody here would just understand them.
