But you just said it right there. It wasn’t that people weren’t excited, it was because the DNC knew that people didn’t really like Biden all that much and yet kept him on way too late, then when they did switch it up they didn’t give anyone a chance. They spat in the face of democracy and I can totally understand why people are fed up and told them to go fuck themselves. I willing to bet many would have voted for Harris anyway if she had won a primary but that’s not what happened.

Centrists are conservatives who only ever have one tactic and that’s where they threaten their voters with an even worse time so they can get away with bullshit. People are tired of that.

“It’s crazy what giving people something to cote for versus just something to vote against can do.”

I agree with your sentiment it’s just the sentence broke me.

The funniest part is that I never, at least from the clips, got the idea that George Carlin was a conservative but he did always have an air about him that I think made conservatives believe he wasn’t talking about them.

Now, I’m sure this will prompt me learning some things about Carlin but hey, I’m open to that too.

Doing it this way would make him the dumbest person imaginable, though. We already know there is evil in the world, championing it does nothing but feed it.

Go look up the definiton and use of the world “should” and get back to me. I used it twice in specific places to say exactly what you just said.

Just before a miscommunication happens: I’m a Canadian who votes in Federal, provincial, and municipal elections.

I would have voted for Harris but I understand that many people felt, reasonably so, that she was forced upon them. They never got a chance to allow their voices to be heard and were simply told to deal with it. It was aggressively anti-democratic only so they could put a weak centrist in charge. The Dems lost because they told their base that they didn’t really give a shit about them and the country lost because there are tens of millions of piss-soaked cum rags who thought Donald Trump was gunna save them.

Yea dude. Because only a fucking idiot would act like the Dems are, as a group, good at their jobs. They’re centre/centre-right and do some pretty shitty things on a regular basis if they do anything of substance at all.

But after all that, they are still the better option and highly preferrable to the Republicans. The Dems are the unseasoned, boiled chicken breast to the Republicans arsenic soup; terrible but edible, at least.

“Both-sides” is when you say both are equally bad and, crucially, ignore the difference of severity. Usually the goal of it is to get people to be apathetic about elections which often leads to conservative wins.

Where did they say both sides were the same? I see that they said that both sides suck but one is objectively worse than the other, which is true. Democrats are shit but Republicans are straight evil.

Frankly, people should be able to abstain from their votes to send a message because the alternative should not be any real support for crazy, obviously evil fascists.

I’ve had phases all over the spectrum but I think I’m gunna lock in on “the only people to genuinely blame for the overtly evil party gaining power are the people who voted for them.” Yes, it is frustrating that there was no DNC primary(the actual issue on that side of the aisle) and that Trump won by a number of votes that theoretically could have been cancelled out but the fact remains that tens of millions of people happily voted for him. He and his party shouldn’t have been anything more than a joke.

You are a single person within the US. They are saying “the American people” which is to say that the collection of people made up of the general population of the US must decide to stop this nonsense.

That means that all of you need to finally stop chasing centrists, stop voting for fascists, etc. We aren’t stupid, we know that there are people trying, but “the American people” is a group still that includes tens of millions of nazis and tens of millions of people who don’t even vote because they’re ignorant of what’s going on.

No, but they raise a point that if conservatives care so much about immigrants and ancestry then there is hypocrisy here. Obviously, because conservatism doesn’t function without it, but it’s still a direct response to something being screamed about.

To what end? She’s not old enough that such levels of racism and violence won’t end in her getting wrecked down the line.

“The US military is shooting civilians that don’t agree with the president. Is this the first step toward fascism?”

I just recently tried Hinge, my first attempt at a dating app just kinda on a whim. I pressed X on everyone who didn’t really have, or at least display, much of a personality and 48hrs later happened upon a real top-shelf weirdo and it’s been going pretty well so far. I get likes, too, but they’re almost always liking my generic picture and not asking about any of the interesting ones or about the written prompts so I just skip those ones.

My own profile is not built to be palatable but built to be myself. It shows my interests and it shows who I am which may turn people away but that’s ok since it’s better that happens now instead later, ya know?

TL;DR: If you just smash “like” on people you barely looked at all you’re doing is increasing your rejections and making yourself feel bad over something that was never going to work out in the first place.

She wants a fit dude who goes to church on Sundays and who isn’t a huge fucking baby. That’s not too ridiculous, it’s just that she’s looking for that guy in conservative circles so that just ain’t gunna happen.

If even half of religious conservatives could remove their heads from their own buttholes for two seconds and realize that the only thing genuinely linking G-O-D and G-O-P is propaganda the US would be in a much better place.

Assholes don’t really enjoy the company of other assholes once they’re done complaining about minorities and/or women. They get on for a little bit and then it starts to go downhill while run some mental gymnastics to pretend like everything is normal.

If the goalposts move any more then there isn’t gunna be a square inch of field left that’s not full of holes, holy hell, dude. Why are you so desperate for the problem to be that Harris was a woman? That was your original point, after all.

Ok so this still doesn’t say anything about her being a woman, though?

And you also seem to have missed that the start of her campaign was the whole “brat” thing and calling Republicans weird, a good debate, and a bunch of other great stuff and then as the months went on then she started hanging around with Cheney more than her own, well-liked, running mate, dodging Gaza questions, telling people that “the economy is good actually”, and dropping all the things she had been doing that really energized her voter base. She was building momentum and then it was so jarring how quickly she suddenly completely turned around on everything that was bringing her success.
