if you see a mile long post of all the racist and pedophilic thing joe biden has said and done and your response is still “okay but we need to vote for him to keep trump out of office“ i hope you get locked out of your house in the cold

YEAH!!! 4 MORE YEARS OF TRUMP SOUNDS GREAT! At least I’m morally superior by not voting, and that’s what’s most important. Right, guys???

This is obviously a post in a point where we are still in the primaries.

I didn’t find it obvious. Sorry for my mistake if true.

I find myself getting angry these days. I should not have taken it out on @ndiecity

I’m very sorry!!

someone: I don't think Biden is very good

some liberal in response every time: OH NO YOU DON'T!!! THIS IS HOW WE GOT 4 YEARS OF DRUMPF!!! I DONT CARE IF HE DOESN'T SHARE ALL OF YOUR BELIEFS PERFECTLY WE NEED TO DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO KEEP THE CHEETO OUT OF OFFICE!!! WE CANNOT BE IDEOLOGICALLY PURE WHEN THE PRESIDENT IS DOING THE SAME THINGS EVERY OTHER PRESIDENT DOES JUST WITH LESS DECORUM!!! YOU NEED TO VOTE FOR WHOEVER THE DEMOCRAT IS EVEN IF HE'S EXACTLY THE SAME AS TRUMP

WHAT DO YOU MEAN STEALING IS A CRIME??? FASICISSSSSSSTTTT!!!!!

Ok first, I'm a communist.

Your attempt at a comparison falls flat because Joe Biden brings nothing new politically to the table, he's Hillary Clinton, except he's a man who only speaks at rallies for 7 minutes at a time because his staff wants to keep him from speaking publicly as much as they can. He's less electable than Hillary Clinton, who lost to Donald Trump. It also falls flat because basically everyone I've ever talked to who supports Bernie are critical of him. And this includes real life people and not just people online like the Bernie supporters you've interacted with.

Maybe people are sick of having to struggle to survive, and they can pretty clearly see that Joe Biden, in no way, will do anything to change that for the better for them, because he represents the same corruption that Obama is and was.

bootlegbeer

I agree that he’s effectively the same candidate as Clinton. But that said, are you saying that if you could go back in time and elect Clinton over Trump, you wouldn’t?

This idea that Biden and Trump are the same candidate isn’t very well thought out. It’s accusatory and appears to boil down to “if Biden is nominated, I’m okay with 4 more years of Trump, who will stack courts out of democratic favor and continue to erode democracy in the senate.”

Please think before spreading anti-voting propaganda. There is harm in electing Biden over Bernie, but also greater harm in electing Trump over Biden. This anti Biden narrative aims to sow exhaustion and apathy.

Be critical, friends.

frottinq

Hillary Clinton would have been doing the same things Trump is doing, just with the smarts to hide it. I wouldn't elect either of them, which is why I didn't vote for either of them.

The supreme court is a pretty weak argument considering they're both still happy with bombing people to continue to uphold American hegemony. Biden was acting like a war hawk in the last debate with how he was talking about enforcing policy on sovereign nations. No thank you.

I did think about this post, it's why I made it, don't vote for Biden if he becomes the nominee. I AM critical of the ACTUAL people you NEED TO BE CRITICAL TOWARD.

bootlegbeer

I understand that you thought about it. I’m sorry I implied that you didn’t.

What I don’t like is that I feel like this says unless someone is absolutely morally pure, we shouldn’t vote for them.

But the trouble with that is: life isn’t that black and white. I feel that this means that I shouldn’t vote for Biden because he’s the same person as Trump or Hillary. Because he’s not. They’re all different people.

Do I think that Biden will make disgusting decisions and hide them as best he can? Yeah. Yeah I do. I agree.

But do I think that voting Biden over allowing Trump to win is a step in the right direction. hate crimes have gone up since Trump’s election. And a Supreme Court stacked democratically would assist the pro choice movement.

I want an America where I don’t have to choose between Satan and Satan’s More Polite Cousin Who Favors Butthole Torture Less Than Satan Does. But Satan’s More Polite Cousin Who Favors Butthole Torture Less Than Satan Does is still a step in the right direction, dammit.

I feel like telling people not to vote for Biden is telling them that Trump winning is okay. Which I’m sure you disagree with. But that’s where I was coming from.

I am so tired of this “the woke thing to do is not vote.”

This type of sentiment has been on the rise since last November. Hmm - wonder why.

I identify as deeply liberal, and I love Bernie, but please think about how radical a statement I would make if I didn’t vote because he didn’t win the nom. It would not be radical. Staying at home is a luxury. It means “I won’t die and I don’t care who does as a result of my apathy.”

Remember the promise you made yourself 4 years ago. The pain; the ANGUISH that was caused by the results of the 2016 election.

We will fight Trump however we have to.

remembering how, back in the 2000s, bush saying “you’re with us or against us” was (rightfully!) criticized as absurd, reductionist, and an attempt to manufacture consent for what was obviously a terrible, doomed war

then smiling wider and wider as I think about the Fucking Decades that the democratic party has spent trying to convince an increasingly uninterested electorate that Staying Home Is Voting For The Other Guy

bootlegbeer

If you can afford the luxury of Not Voting, I feel that you’re really not understanding what ally ship is.

Allyship is voting for Biden when you don’t fucking like him, because he won’t stack the Supreme Court the same way Trump would.

The situation about Bush (above) is not the situation we are in now. Please think critically about anything that attempts to play you into not voting. They are trying to stop you. Do not let them stop you.

Your vote matters.

One of my favorite things is modern adaptations that leave people with the same careers they had in the original material, because unless you’re a cop or a doctor that practically never happens.

Irene Adler’s an opera singer. We still have those! They don’t have the same subtext exactly, but nothing is going to because we aren’t the Victorians. She could continue to be an opera singer. I have never seen this happen.

Jonathan Harker can still be in real estate. That’s a job people have. A modern story that still involves Dracula contacting his firm to help him purchase property sounds amazing actually.

A modern adaptation of Dracula where you keep seeing Jonathan Harker’s face on bus stop bench ads for his realtor office.

i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live

5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.

bring back ghost autographs or perish.

fruitffish-deactivated20250218

for those of you that do not understand or know of ghost autographs it when you write your signature on the crease of paper and then fold the paper soest how it smudges and blots, looking like a skeletal system. [source]

This is!!! what I do!!

What does your Ghost Autograph look like?

Titled The Ghost of My Friends, it is a book of “ghost signatures,” the well-inked swirls of a cursive autograph transformed into strange, elegant, and devilish inkblots. The smudges and splatters found in a booklet are akin to that of a Rorschach inkblot, but the linear thin tracks of a fountain pen give these ghostly inkblots a unique look. (source)
