    The only thing I have to add to this perfection is that I would, in fact, prefer Grandpa Joe’s Feckless Possum Party as opposed to the end of the world and everything we love

      One guy wants fascism but the other guy talks like porky pig so might as well vote for the fascist.

        I see, so the “other guy” is perfectly mentally acute and sharp, has a functioning memory and strategic mind able to keep track of many shifting variables that are related to planetary existential crisis, environmental collapse, active genocide, the proliferation of global and national fascism and eradication of basic rights in favor of corporate profits, and any number of other urgent and dire circumstances; but he just has a little bit of a stutter.

        Fuck Trump, don’t vote for him, vote for the Democrat even if it is just to democratically choose which enemy you would rather fight. But come on this is so disingenuous and unserious. None has ever decided to vote because someone was smug to them on the internet. If anything it has the opposite effect; but keep on pushing that rock, Sisyphus, it’ll stay up there some day

          It’s clear that the person you responded to completely modified their comment. What did it say before?

            I don’t think they did. Maybe my long comment was an over reaction, but my point is that the problem with Biden isn’t just that he “talks like porky pig.”

            Doesn’t matter now, we are all in the K-hole, get ready for the worst parts of the right to show their disgusting racist sexist asses. Can’t say I’m a huge fan of Kamala, buy its def gonna get interesting

    I know this is put forth as “both are bad ideas,” but faking death sounds great after a double shift right now.

    Hundreds of millions of citizens and these were literally the best we could come up with? There aren’t any better options?

      Nah, there were TONS of better ones, but they didn’t have the coveted “owner donors approve” sticker that’s the invisible flag pin.

        As young people, I can tell you we don’t have anywhere near enough time or money to enter politics. Were just trying to afford food.

        We need more young people to enter politics.

        Like who? Matt Gaetz is pretty young. So is Ben Shapiro.

          Young people that don’t fuck minors or pretend to not understand hyperbole for political clout.

    So what you’re saying is that the Republicans are Harkon’s Court and the Democrats are the Grey Beards before Paarthurnax tells them to hurry the fuck up and do something while the world is dying.
