“We know Superman is an immigrant – he’s a freaking alien … The ‘American way’ is immigrant friendly, tremendously immigrant friendly,” he added. “But there are rules … There have to be limits, because we can’t have everybody in the United States.”

uh, Dean, Superman is an undocumented immigrant. If he were real today ICE would be trying to send him back to Krypton.

Or maybe you’d give him a pass because he’s, you know… white.

    Yeah, it's literally true that he's a former Superman actor, but he's been a punchline for over 20 years, to the point where he's probably better known as a joke than an actor.

    How so? I only know him from Lois & Clark and I loved that show.

    That's kind of the point, that show ended 28 years ago. What have you seen him in since then? When he's been mentioned in the years since, it's generally either to make a joke about his career or just his general persona.

    30 Rock in 2006: In this episode, Jenna Maroney goes on a sexual walkabout, engaging in a bunch of deviant sex acts. At ~3:45, we see the very end of her checklist:

    • In an airplane wheel well
    • Pull a general Tso's Revenge
    • Run a train with the cast of "Training Day" on a train
    • Soon-Yi a marriage
    • Supreme court Justice,Liberal
    • Yoko a band
    • Dean Cain

    Once the band has been Yoko'd, she scrolls down to the final entry. "Ugh, Dean Cain," she sighs, rolling her eyes.

    Family Guy in 2007: Dean Cain is so desperate for attention that he's taken to wearing old Superman merch and sidling up to random strangers then saying "Hey, is that Dean Cain?" in a fake voice.

    You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

    Absolutely nobody thinks of Dean fucking Cain when they think of Superman. Except Dean Cain, probably, but he's a nobody so my point stands.

    Through his biological father, Cain is partly of Japanese descent

    Cain has said of his biological father, whom he never met: "He's not the kind of man I want to be. He was an unfaithful husband and not much of a father." Source

    And that’s why Lois Lane is now a lesbian.

    Checks out, he’s been on the wrong side of things a bunch post-Superman… He’s probably gonna make a small pile of money as a spokesman or part of some deranged reality show.

    His family was interned because of racism during WW2 and he was upset about the racism directed at him when he was cast as Superman. I think he might be a few sandwiches short of a picnic if he doesn’t understand the parallels here.https://www.primetimer.com/news/who-are-dean-cain-s-parents-actor-recalls-racist-backlash-following-superman-casting

    We can't afford to run a candidate like Biden ever again.

    Bare minimum the next Dem candidate for president needs to be willing to at least try to hold these people accountable.

    The oath is to the constitution, and we need to start prosecuting people violating the constitution and then trying to hide behind the oath as "just following orders".

    I agree with you, but the problem is that the DNC doesn't think of you or me when they think "we". To them, "we" is wealthy capitalists and their cronies. "We" is whoever is willing to kill any left wing policy before it gets off the ground, at any cost. They would rather lose to fascists than allow a leftist to lead, because they value money over justice and equality. The party elites will not give up control of the party willingly, even for someone who represents overwhelmingly popular policies.

    The party elites will not give up control of the party willingly, even for someone who represents overwhelmingly popular policies.

    DNC has ~400 voting members and their only job is to elect a chair. The chair then has complete power and zero accountability.

    They 100% could have chosen to stick with the bullshit neoliberalism you're talking about

    They picked the state chair from Minnesota. A guy that turned a purple state not only blue, but home to some of our most progressive Dems in office.

    Ken Martin isn't perfect, and I doubt I agree with him on a bunch of policy. But that doesn't matter, the way he's always led a party is pretty fucking simple but very effective:

    1. Run a non-biased primary

    2. Support whoever makes it to the general.

    Like, you're about six months behind bud, what you're complaining about was already fixed.

    Just don't expect billionaire owned media to spend a lot of time accurately reporting on it.

    This guy continues to act on a regular basis, but it's almost all IMDb 2.0-4.9 garbage made for Tubi, like Andy the Talking Hedgehog (2.1) or The Three Dogateers (2.9). A decade or two ago he was at least getting guest roles on network TV (most recently he was in six episodes of Supergirl 10 years ago), but now he's apparently exclusively in animal (mostly dog) movies and God movies.

    A couple years ago he did somehow manage to get a guest role in one episode of The Curse (Paramount+), which is the most notable thing he's done since that Supergirl gig.
