Joe Biden should drop out but I understand why they aren’t replacing him. The Democrats are the most risk adverse political party possible. The question isn’t should he drop out but who replaces him. Pick the wrong person and you risk alienating key parts of your base. Do they even beat Trump? I think there’s a correct candidate who meets all the parameters to win this year but the democrats are cowards and aren’t willing to take the risk.

plus they have the copium of “he won last time.”

yeah but if the GOP gets control of scotus forever think of how much money the democrats will be able to fundraise

The trolley problem makes sense in the context it was developed for, which is to be an ethical thought experiment. It’s got nothing to do with politics unless you’re just a lazy thinker (which Biden fans pretty much are.)

Trump isn’t adding to his base either. a lot of independent voters think Trump is corrupt. he is not very popular outside of his base. Biden’s strategy is run on anger at the abortion decision and “saving democracy” which might be enough to put him across the finish line but it should be a blow out for democrats if someone who wasn’t Biden was running against him.

Zionists are using a version of this argument for why you shouldn’t care about Palestine but go off i guess

If Trump was president, then the mainstream narrative would be that the genocide in Gaza was simply because of Trump and Bibi’s leadership.

The media didn’t care about Israel sniping people during the Great March of Return. When Trump bombed Syria, they bent over backwards to say that was the moment he really became President. It’s possible more liberals would care about the genocide if he was in office but the media would likely still back Israel bc that’s what the US natsec ghouls want.

She doesn’t though. People in the US openly talk about sex online a lot (even in front of children) but she only goes after queer people and allies saying queer people should be allowed to exist.

Pride took out the Kink Castle and we will take you out next

I think they’re trying to get out ahead of the Alphabet union.

idk about this. Following this logic a cis het dude into feet or BDSM would be queer and I don’t think they should count bc they aren’t being discriminated against the way a LGBT person is. I do think there’s certain kinks/ways cis het people could be considered queer but I think this definition obscures why Pride exists to begin with.

I think part of queerness is not fitting in traditional gender and/or sexuality roles. Like is the libs of Tiktok lady coming after y’all just for existing?

I’m not hating on y’all and you’re definitely welcome at Pride imo but it feels weird to say everyone who has a kink is queer when kinks are so normalized that it would basically mean everyone is queer at that point. I also feel like that definition makes things weird for asexual people (who definitely are a part of the community bc they do face similar discrimination and marginalization.)

I hate this discourse but seeing it pop up on Reddit several years ago made me delete my account so I should thank it too

It’s all very predictable and another 4 years of Biden won’t prevent these things happening, just prolong them and probably make it worse somehow by bottling it up for longer.

it would likely manufacture consent for these things happening much like it has manufactured consent for libs to want stricter border laws and mass surveillance.

Part of it is because the Korean war isn’t over, part of it is racism against a socialist project that refuses to submit to western imperialism, but there’s also a geopolitical interest bc having another widely accepted threat in region gives them more leverage against China since you could use weapons in South Korea against China fairly easily.

mr bazinga, stop being a twerp

i keep thinking this is a documentary about ska and get disappointed that it’s not but i’ve heard it’s sick.

that would require americans to stop thinking war is cool though and we have a lot of movies made specifically to stop that from happening.

take a lap, dork.

That’s why they still do it. It’s great as propaganda bc the people most likely to answer are the people who are most likely to be well off enough to not have to worry about bill collectors. A lot of modern polling outfits are less interested in figuring out what people think and more interested in generating data that backs up the policies of whoever is paying them. It’s the same reason a lot of them use biased language for the polling questions.

lol they wish women were around them to correct
