The diaspora of most countries that live in the US are insufferable. Guatemalan Americans turn into weird Mayan nationalists who've never been near a Mayan group in their life.

Biden represents Irish American excellence, that's being an abusive pos.

Clare has been a godsend in the face of the EU's BS for so long. Incredible person, her and Wallace

The genocidal slave owning ancestors are probably pretty proud of the whole thing

The only good Europeans aren't actually connected to Europe. Island based-ism

Belarusians can hang, are they too far east to be "European"?

Slavs get discounted because their long affiliation with socialism precludes them from European imperial madness

For a Trot she's pretty damn great, for a Trot.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Of course she's a trot. They're the only acceptable Communists in Western countries.

Are MEPs directly elected or appointed?

[–] Moss@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Elected, but everyone seems to hate Clare Daly and Mick Wallace. I think they got elected because people don't pay as much attention to MEP elections
