Cool. What policies are they going to talk about?

Every time any politician gets into office is a victory for them. That’s all they care about.

How are we supposed to change their platform? Because rewarding them with victories when all they do is go to the center hasn’t been working.

Every voter wants a perfect candidate.

I’m so tired of this line, as if progressives don’t like the Democratic Party because of a 5% difference in policy opinions.

Our options for President for the past 30-40 years have been fascist capitalist or capitalist willing to compromise with fascists. To those who actually care about worker’s rights or the environment of the planet we live on, it’s a difference between a candidate who agrees with you on 0%, or one who agrees with you on 2%, but only the policies that don’t hurt capitalism.

It’s not a case of letting perfect be the enemy of the good, it’s a case of the lesser evil IS STILL FUCKING EVIL. Fascism now and fascism in 4-8 years still results in fascism; how are we supposed to be excited to vote when those are the only options we are ever allowed to pick between?

It’s not about harm reduction, it’s a slow boil towards fascism. We’re all just frogs in a pot of slowly heating water, except frogs actually will jump out before they boil to death; humans aren’t that smart.

Every four years the centrists say “vote for us, because the Other Guy is worse!” And they’re not wrong, especially since 2016. But they’re also not even pretending to be on our side anymore. Everyone says the Republicans have taken the mask off and aren’t hiding their evil, but it is the Democrats running a candidate who is openly working with members of the party of greater fascism, it’s the Democratic candidate who is pro fucking fracking the earth, and it’s the Democrats (as well as the Repubs) who aren’t even bothering to lie to us about wanting to stop the genocide that our tax dollars are directly funding.

However, I have to say that I’ll be voting for the party of lesser (or at least slower) fascism come November. Not because I agree with a single thing they’re doing (since their platform is still “We’re not as bad as the Other Guy”), but because they threw us exactly two bones in dropping Biden and giving the VP to one of the few Ds who actually looks progressive (where he can do the least damage, of course).

Nationalize ISPs. Internet access is a utility, no one should be profiting off of it.

That number is between 0-2 depending on how many cashier lanes there are.

It’s faster for me, slower for the other 799 people in line before me who have never stepped foot in a grocery store before today.

Obvious hyperbole but some days it doesn’t feel like much of an exaggeration.

Could we at least get a candidate who agrees with us on anything? They don’t even have to mean it; Obama was wildly successful because he made promises he had no intention of keeping.

You’re getting downvoted by centrists. A trick I learned is to preface every comment with “I’m voting for the lesser fascist this November, but…”

That’s the point. Draw attention to the illegal shit Musk is doing so that maybe the one remaining judge in the US who wants to uphold the Constitution might do something about it.

They did say it was an old bottle, possibly before capitalism ruined the brand.

I prefer closer to a 1:1 ratio of cheese to cracker. Also saltines aren’t salty anymore, and even the more expensive ones crumble too easily.

We evolved in caves, so our eyes aren’t meant for bright light.

Only minor /s, I am sensitive to light and wish more people would be ok with darkness, especially at night. You don’t need flood lights constantly on blinding every square millimeter of your yard. Night vision is a thing and it doesn’t require goggles.

I recently visited Yellowstone National Park for the first time. As the largest park in the continental US, I felt like I could live in the backcountry for the rest of my life, just soaking in the natural beauty.

Unfortunately society refuses to collapse, so I’m stuck trying to find a job that will pay the bills I accrue just keeping food in my dog’s belly and a roof over our heads.

If your address has “FL” in it, you should evacuate.

You mean he used to have a better PR team, before he got rich enough to not need one.

She probably is hot wearing such a heavy coat, but it’ll be needed under the same circumstances as the gun.

Post must be from before 2020. I don’t trust anyone who made it through 2020 without developing a new vice and/or worsening an existing mental health problem.
