Fair is fair, and that arm is in use. You’re just going to have to wait your turn.

Dr. Seuss, is that you?

Maybe it’s also like brushing their teeth?

Projection.

This was real, but it’s worth noting it wasn’t a permanent mural. It was projected onto the building by activists Thursday evening.

Next time you go, try riding inside of the train. It’s much more comfortable and safe in there.

When every possible thing is this fucking freaky, we can indeed freak out about them.

Along those lines, the sticker shop from the story has since come out with one that says “I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy.”

My pic is myself, so… I have no further argument and forget I said anything.

Time for some traditional Moldovan epic victory music!

I want you to know this is the first comment on here which sparked my “I have to give this comment gold” itch left over from the old place. Nicely done!

Cardinal Richelieu certainly had things to answer for.

Who do you feel you’re “showing” anything with a protest vote?

Protesting in the street works by showing the people in view that you’re there in protest of a thing. However the viewer feels about you, the issue, or the concept of protesting, the fact that you’re there doing it in that moment is public and undeniable. Protest votes, on the other hand, are a blip of mostly-invisible data that just get silently decoupled from the process and filed away once their irrelevance to the result is established. The election system, fucked and in need of reform as it is, has that built-in mechanism for quietly doing nothing in real life with your protest vote, and the system is certainly not going to be subverted or reformed at all by your having done it.

If that protest vote is the only means by which you’re hoping to accomplish anything on Election Day, I’m still not sure I understand why one would bother.

I’m asking you how, specifically, a protest vote and a strategic vote are any different in terms of perpetuating the shitty system currently in place.

This thread, specifically this comment, is telling you you should vote for alternative parties at state and local levels. The idea is to build up that third party’s actual presence in government from the ground up, which is a far superior strategy to splitting a critical presidential race and feeling like you’ve accomplished anything good.
