Binro the Heretic - 2020-05-22
I fucking hate that I have to vote for god-damned Joe mother-fucking Biden.

TeenerTot - 2020-05-22 Don't think of it as voting for Biden. Think of it as voting for a brand-spanking-new administration, with real adults at the head of the EPA, the dept of education, the DOJ, etc...
|
Crackersmack - 2020-05-22 Think of it as voting to cut Social Security, cut Medicare, and to privatize education. Think of it as voting to disenfranchise everybody under age 50 from the Democratic Party. Think of it as voting for Tom Cotton or Josh Hawley to be elected POTUS in 2024.

SolRo - 2020-05-22 so vote trump! hur hur hur!
|
Crackersmack - 2020-05-22 No don't vote for Trump, instead vote for the guy that said that BDS "singles out Israel - home to millions of Jews - and too often veers into anti-Semitism while letting Palestinians off the hook for their choices".
|
SolRo - 2020-05-22 So vote for trump! Hur Hur Hur!
|
Hazelnut - 2020-05-22 I have a headache and am not in the mood to try to distinguish CrackRo and SolJack trying to snidely imitate each other.
Instead I’ll say that I CAN’T FUCKING WAIT to vote AGAINST Trump. I’ve been waiting for years, and I’m gonna relish it.

Binro the Heretic - 2020-05-22 I think of it as kicking in the shitty malfunctioning bilge pump that will just barely keep the ship afloat until we finish repairing the ship.
|
Hazelnut - 2020-05-22 Step up from the dude drilling new holes in the hull on purpose.
|
Binro the Heretic - 2020-05-22 Exactly.
It's eating boiled shoe leather because it beats starving to death.
That's why I hate hearing all the awful shit about Biden.
I know that leather is going to be shitty, but I have to eat it or people will die.

Hazelnut - 2020-05-22 They can't all be Obama. Have hope. Politicians aren't going to save the world. At best we can find some politicians who will restrain from destroying the world long enough for advancing science to save it. That's the long shot hope for this wacky loveable species with its horrible, horrible cognitive faults.

Binro the Heretic - 2020-05-22 Obama wasn't Obama. He did shitty things and didn't even try to stop the other shitty things the Republicans were doing because he wanted to "reach across the aisle."
He stepped up deportations to show how he was "serious" about border security so they would work with him to make a pathway to citizenship for the Dreamers. Instead, they said, "Fuck the Dreamers!" and used his record high deportations as a smear against him.
He didn't get us out of the Middle East. He didn't fight for the environment. He gave us a shitty pile of tax dollars for the insurance companies & healthcare industry to fight over instead of a national healthcare system. He didn't hold anyone to account for the 2008 financial meltdown.
I swear to god, I'm almost to the point where I just want to tell the firemen to just fucking go and let the house burn all the way down.

Hazelnut - 2020-05-23 @Binro, is there any president in history that you DO look up to? They all had pretty glaring flaws, even the ones on Mt Rushmore.
Believe me, I get the temptation of despair, that "let the house burn".
But think about it: if life isn't on some level worthwhile, if our species isn't on some level worth saving, then it wouldn't be such a tragedy when it goes wrong, would it?
|
Crackersmack - 2020-05-23 You all are insanely melodramatic about basically voting for extreme austerity in order to stop a slightly ruder version of every Republican that has been POTUS during our lifetimes.
You're not doing some noble thing here. You're the equivalent of the people that hesitatingly voted for Trump just to stop Hillary.
|
SolRo - 2020-05-23 We can’t all be too cool like you and refuse to even vote for the lesser evil.
|
Hazelnut - 2020-05-23 I completely agree with SolRo here. There are none so pathetic as the ‘too cool to vote’ crowd.
Of course Cracker is just trolling again, calling ninety thousand dead Americans ‘slightly ruder’
|
Crackersmack - 2020-05-23 It's easy to ask people to vote for the lesser evil when your family won't be considered part of the acceptable collateral damage of the policy of that lesser evil candidate. Mine will however.
I'm saying you should go ahead and vote, but you don't have to vote for evil.
|
Hazelnut - 2020-05-23 Whatever you say, little Trump troll.
|
SolRo - 2020-05-23 (X) Other, write in — ‘MaGikaL UniCorN canDidate’
|
SolRo - 2020-05-23 also note that basing your trolling only on how it will personally affect you, while ignoring all the other people that will be hurt, is exactly the same thing as what you’re whining about.
|
Crackersmack - 2020-05-23 Who are "all the other people that will be hurt"?
Because Biden hasn't promised to do anything different wrt to immigration or mass incarceration, and his record doesn't suggest that he will.
|
SolRo - 2020-05-23 You’re just too stupid to have a worthwhile argument with
|
|
SolRo - 2020-05-23 I doubt that.
|
Hazelnut - 2020-05-24 Cracker/Asher is here to remind us of the perils of cheap junior high cynicism
|
TeenerTot - 2020-05-22
Nicely done.
