2020 Debate Recap

2 old men yell at each other over shit they both did.

trump gets softball question to condemn proud boys, tells them “stand back and stand by… somebody’s got to do something about antifa and the left,” instead. 

both candidates and the moderator scream at each other for 5 minutes straight. nothing is coherent. 

trump tells his people to harass voters at the polls

biden screams about not supporting the green new deal and loving cops

moderator serves no purpose, doesn’t fact check, can’t mute mics, gets dunked on. 

mostly boring, we’re all fucked

Did Ruth Bader Ginsburg effectively use girl power when she let a gas pipeline through the Appalachian Trail.

[aerrolite]

Okay but six other people voted for it too. And yet you’re all shitting on the least problematic of the bunch and letting the other six off the hook... for what? Cuz she’s a woman and cuz everyone wants to think she’s perfect? Being a woman truly is exhausting

[scallioncreamcheesebagel]

you’re an idiot. no one is “letting the other six off the hook”, the other six are mostly republicans who everyone already hates ANYWAY. the point of this post is to point out that we shouldn’t be idolizing RBG, because she is just as shitty as any other politician. no one is idolizing the other 6 judges, so the point doesn’t make sense to make for the rest.

turning “hey we shouldn’t be idolizing this centrist judge who voted for a gas pipeline to be built among MANY OTHER shitty decisions” into “guhhh you just hate her because she’s a WOMAN” is ridiculous. also note that of the 3 female supreme court judges, she was the only one to vote to approve this pipeline. why not support one of the other two instead of crying about people posting rightful criticism of RBG?

additionally, while we’re pointing out RBG’s demographics, we should note she’s not just a woman: she’s also white! this pipeline crosses through majority black, latine, and native communities. check out this article: 

The Atlantic Coast Pipeline Battle Is About People, Not Precedent: The rural, Native, Black, and Latinx communities protesting the controversial pipeline deserve clean, safe places to call home.

ignoring the fact that she’s a white person approving pipelines through communities of color just because she’s a woman is so incredibly disingenuous

[but-then-alexi]

reblog if you remember when RBG said kaepernick taking a knee to protest police violence was “dumb and disrespectful”

or just sit there being salty about it for all i care

Remember when she refused to accept Oneida sovereignty over their lands because it would be unfair to whites and that the character of the populace was "non-Indian"?

Many of my friends have a great deal of affection for United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.  My own enthusiasm for the “N

[birlinterrupted]

its wild that people are gonna like try to convince people that for some reason this recent news of the latest unelected person wiht an inordinate amount of control over our justice system and legal structure passing away demamds that we reinvest ourselves even harder into voting as a primary method of change, even tho it is like almost completely certain that she will be replaced before the election or immediately afterwards and therefore make it completely unrelated to this election. like, this should be a wake up call to like the major faults of the u.s. govt rather than a reemphasis on its legitimacy

[bideogaymes]

For the better part of my adult life, every move I’ve made, every relationship I’ve formed, has been rooted in the napalm toxic soil of…

another white woman who has been successfully Blackfishing for years and stolen opportunities, taken space & acted violently towards actual Black people im sick.

she went from a Jewish white woman from Kansas to an AfroLatina from the Bronx.

im not sure contacting the university will help, but this woman needs to be held accountable for the irreparable damage she has done and her violent invasion of Black spaces and identities.

fun fact: basically every mod on r/legaladvice is a cop. if you see a bunch of comments in a row that have been deleted for “offering bad advice”, you can replace “reddit” in the url with “ceddit” to see the same page with all the deleted comments still there, and roughly half the time the “"bad advice”“ is literally anything that suggests that maybe OP shouldn’t trust the cops

[stereocyon]

take a look at this thread. Ouch

[jane-vampeyre]

in this thread, the OP talks about how a local cop in their small town in Ohio is stalking him and, in particular, his fiancée, to the point that they’re afraid to leave their home.

A lot of the deleted comments are recommending cameras on the house and the cars

a lot more of them are recommending OP file a complaint, and refuse to leave until he gets the forms he needs

and a few are discussing the way small-town cops work with little to no oversight, and that it might be good to talk to someone higher up the chain.

none of these comments needed to be deleted. none of these comments are harmful or malicious in anyway. All of these comments are helping OP learn and exercise his rights as a citizen, and all of them were deleted. What all the comments have in common is that it would cause the cop to face any kind of consequences for behavior that, were a civilian doing it, would be illegal.

[rubyleaf]

How you think writing a large main cast will go: So many different character arcs. So many possible relationships and storylines. So much potential for different interactions. Found family. Everyone gets their screen time. All readers will find someone to relate to. This is gonna be so good!

How writing a large main cast actually goes: It’s been 50K words and everyone’s had like five lines of dialogue. During every conversation at least one person’s standing around doing nothing for three pages. Are you going nuts or have these three characters done nothing except provide comic relief for two story arcs? You haven’t even touched on the depths of everyone’s characters and you’re already halfway through the story. There is no end in sight. You are crying.

ATTENTION

The US government just killed Lezmond Mitchell, a Native American man.

It is against the law for the US Government to order the death of a tribal citizen without the approval of the corresponding sovereign Nation's approval. The Navajo Nation (to whom Mitchell belongs) actively campaigned against his execution. This is the first execution of a Native American by the occupying US government in modern times.

This is a Big Fucking Deal.

[redpandarascal]

hey stop painting Ben Shapiro’s racist doctor wife as a victim and not as a racist doctor

he writes articles and does his own podcast, it’s his job is to be racist and giving him attention for it even potentially fuels his audience, but, Dr. Mor Shapiro just used her position as a doctor to try and shame black women. We can call for her to be fired, and as a bonus, between the doctor and the podcaster, she is probably the breadwinner of the household, so Ben Shapiro would probably have a lot less time of his hands for racism, if his wife wasn’t almost certainly paying most of the bills.

[redpandarascal]

it is being suggested that Ben Shapiro actually makes a good amount of money, which doesn’t sound right to me bc he’s a podcaster and article writer, but I guess the racism business is booming. I’m less interested in the fact that this might affect Ben Shapiro, and more interested in the fact that Mor Shapiro will lie about medicine, particularly gynecology, to smear black women, and works as a family doctor. That shouldn’t be happening.

[godyoupeopleareannoying-deactiv]

i think twitter should be deleted actually.

[godyoupeopleareannoying-deactiv]

literally no matter how vile tumblr gets about bisexuals (esp bi women) it will never be as bad as twitter on a good day. christ all fucking mighty

[kassmonday]

Man Residue is what I call the lingering effects of traumatic experiences on my brain ✌️

[godyoupeopleareannoying-deactiv]

youre gonna hate this so much but thats actually literally what that woman said man residue was, she said that being with men is pretty much inherently traumatic and causes irreparable damage to a bi woman.

[bireaucracy-archived]

let me unpack every point about how fucking horrific that is lol:

“relationships with men damage you forever” and then saying it’s not about bi women being tainted or anything you’re just DamagedTM inherently by being with men

which apparently only applies to bi women and not like, lesbians who were in relationships with men or straight women

and also the implications for mlm aren’t great either

hell the fucking ghastly implications for like, bi wlw abuse victims, especially when you see that bi people and bi women in particular have the highest rate of domestic abuse of any sexuality, talk about further victim-blaming

just interacting with men and having a romantic relationship with them makes you inherently less able to love or treat people with respect

(legit look at op’s other comments)

this is some genuine radfem uh sorry Materialist Feminist TM dumbassery right here and once again it’s so telling that these people keep saying this shit about bi wlw in particular more than anybody else!!!!

yall really think lesbian separatism is new and good, that women are inherently more Pure and soft and kind and let’s be honest you’re all for gold star lesbians, buddies this isn’t the 80s anymore lol

calling bi women emotionally stunted and predatory.... groundbreaking lmao

when are people gonna stop going on bout how bi wlw center men and are tained by men and obsessed by men (or when you’re more honest about your transmisogyny bc v often you guys will then use that rhetoric to talk about trans women, saying bi women are tainted by penis), when will this end, maybe when you guys stop reading rich and wittig and dworkin and thinking that they’re cool and radical mayhaps

or maybe when you do get hurt by other women and suddenly realize that you’re not inherently ideologically pure and soft by virtue of being afab uh a Wombyn Woman

also hey once again jesus christ what the fuck are you guys saying to bi women who’ve been abused regardless of the gender of who abused them, how the fuck is saying “bi women are damaged goods and obsessive and inherently a little evil and obsessed” any kind of great

op is bi and clearly has issues but all her lesbian besties are crying lesbophobia and saying it’s evil and lesbophobic to “not let lesbians talk about their issues” like being able to call bi women tainted goods or predatory

funny earlier this month a major lesbian comedian said that bi people are all inherently predatory and dangerous but none of them said shit but g-d forbid a bi teen somewhere make a slightly oblivious comment either

in conclusion radical feminism (and its newly rebranded coat of Materialist Feminism TM) are absolute horror shows

[hrtgel]

my biggest problem with people saying that bi women who say things like "im bi but i could never marry a woman" are invaders in the community and not women who are suffering from our homophobic society. i used to think things like "i respect trans people but i could never go through transition" because i was facing so much already and the idea of going through what im going through right now was unfathomable to me. it would have broken me, then. bi women who say they cant imagine being with a woman are suffering from a kind of self hatred and frustration that can break your soul and the way theyre treated is just. horrific

resigning yourself to a life where you cant be who you are and you must box away and hide a part of yourself is not benefiting from heterosexual privilege it is harrowing and lonely and then these women come online hoping to see people like them and are met with a thousand and one people telling them they might as well be straight and they'll never have a place with us either. this is not how we protect the members of our community and its fucking ugly that we have this conversation every week.

[bakerybutch]

not to mention on top of the fear you experience being closeted and knowing how hard and dangerous it is to be openly same-gender attracted, there’s also a ton of internalized homophobia to deal with.  feeling predatory and evil for liking someone of the same gender and not wanting to pursue them because of that is really common, and it’s not something you can work through the day you realize you’re bi/come out as bi.  we should be supporting bi women (and all bi people) who struggle with this, not mercilessly attacking them.  

when bi women say “i’m not sure i could date/marry a woman” they’re not saying they don’t think women are good enough to marry or have serious relationships with.  they’re saying “heteronormative society has given me no examples of what my future would even look like if i dated or married another woman, so even though i love women it’s difficult to envision that for myself right now”

[pocketsbigger]

Also I think it’s very interesting how little compassion bisexual women get when they’re in these situations and acting like they’re the same as straight girls saying “ew gross 😷” in regards to wlw relationships despite everybody and they mama using the term comphet regularly, but it just goes to show that most people barely understand the things they parrot or like... actually read.

[bombnails]

with everything going on in regards to the group of trans women who were recently attacked, it's not enough to post "black trans lives matter" and leave it at that. if you truly believe that, you need to be ensuring their survival by donating to and supporting black trans women directly.
