#spoiler candidate

[grits-galraisedinthesouth]

The gaslighting by Lara Trump & the GOP is out of control!! Let's review the Hard Pass political history of Robert Kennedy, Jr:

"I am who I am. I'm not a church boy. I have so many skeletons in my closet that if they could all vote I could be elected king of the world."

Hard Pass from The Obama Administration

2008: Obama did his "research" & chose a hard pass on the ENVIRONMENTAL Kennedy. What does Obama know?

Hard Pass from 2016 Trump Administration

2017: Bobby was seen at Trump Tower and said he was offered a post in Trump Admin. Trump Team refutes that any offer was ever made.

Hard pass with Democrat blue state voters

2022-2023: Voters in solid blue states in New England (& New York) were dissatisfied with Joe Biden. Despite his "Kennedy" cape cod connection, these blue states overwhelmingly rejected RFK Jr as their Democrat alternative. What do they know?

Bobby switched party affiliation to get his name on the ballots as the INDEPENDENT "spoiler candidate," & endeavored to make a deal with the Democrat and/or Republican nominee. Kamala & Joe offered Democrat Presidential candidate & professor Cornell West a deal (which he rejected) but refused to talk with Bobby Kennedy. What do they know?

April 20th 2023 @BillyBaldwin "This is Mary Richardson Kennedy. Robert Kennedy’s 2nd wife and mother to four of his six children. She was an incredible woman. A wonderful mother, wife and activist. Sadly she is no longer with us. She cried on my shoulder about Bobby numerous times at their former home on Bedford Road, my former home on Chestnut Ridge Road, at the Canaan Ridge School and the Saw Mill Club. If Bobby were half a man she would still be alive today. It will all come out. His campaign will be over in weeks. If these walls could talk."

Bobby Kennedy was my friend. Our friendship didn't end when he abandoned his political integrity for Trump. It ended when his lovely wife Mary died. Had he protected her during that difficult time she might still be with us. And as his cousin Caroline stated, he's a "predator."

What do the Baldwin Brothers know?

Trump's 2024 Assessment of Spoiler Candidate "Bobby" RFK Jr:

A RADICAL Democrat Plant

Radical left liberal

Country would collapse almost immediately under RFK Jr

Choose Biden over Bobby

Extreme environmentalist

Makes green new scammers look very conservative

More liberal than any candidate running as a Democrat

Anti-gun

Anti-military

There is nothing moderate about this man. He is a dangerous extremist.

His only function is to try to peel votes away from Biden.

He doesn't even believe in the proven science of vaccines.

The Case Against RFK Jr.

RFK Junior is not who you think he is.

It pains me to say it, but he is a dangerous nutcase.

He claims to want to heal America, but his vision for our future is tainted by his endorsements of hateful conspiracy theories – and the fact that he is being funded in large part by donors aligned with Donald Trump.

It’s time to lift the curtain on a campaign based on false, irresponsible, and self-contradictory claims.

RFK Junior repeatedly promoted a right-wing conspiracy theory that chemicals in the water are turning people gay or transgender.

He suggested COVID-19 was a bioweapon, mysteriously designed to spare Jewish people.

[RFK Jr.: “COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.”]

He’s spent years spreading anti-vaxx lies.

And in his 2021 book, RFK Junior alleged, with no plausible evidence, that Dr. Fauci performed genocidal experiments, sabotaged treatments for AIDS, and conspired with Bill Gates to suppress information about COVID-19.

These are not the words of someone who is serious about leading – let alone healing – this country.

As someone who once worked for his father, RFK, and admired his uncle, JFK, I’m disturbed to see RFK Junior speak this way.

RFK Senior would never have suggested that a deadly virus was targeted at certain races. And as president, JFK signed the Vaccination Assistance Act in order to, “achieve as quickly as possible the protection of the population, especially of all preschool children.”

If not for his illustrious name – and role as a potential spoiler – RFK Junior would be just another crackpot in the growing pool of fringe politicians.

It’s no coincidence that he shares top backers with the likes of Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene — or that Trump allies Roger Stone and Steve Bannon encouraged him to run in the first place.

But the Kennedy brand is political gold, and it could pull away just enough sympathetic voters to tip the race toward Trump.

Democracy won by a whisker in 2020. Just 44,000 votes in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin decided the outcome. If RFK Junior — or any third-party candidate — peels off just a fraction of the vote from Biden, while Trump’s base stays with him, they will deliver a victory to Trump.

If Junior had any respect for the principles his father fought and ultimately died for, he would withdraw his candidacy. Immediately.

Your interpretation of Hector talking with Bauhauzzo post-game (if you can see that happening) would be neat!!

oh the horrors of knowing no one can fix the problem except for you

Brennan Lee Mulligan not wanting his children to be drafted into the military industrial complex while still being completely in character is such a Brennan Lee Mulligan™ thing to do.

And, to be completely candid: vibe, mood, and maybe even, same. o7

[usindistress]

Nader got Bush elected president, Stein got Trump elected president. If you are voting for a third party, you a making sure the party you oppose most gets more votes. I know Biden isn't great, but DON'T LET HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF AGAIN!

The Republikkkan plan is for RFK Jr to take some electoral votes away from Biden thus preventing him from reaching 270. If none of the candidates reach 270 then the House of Representatives will pick the next president. The House is currently Republican controlled so MAGA Mike Johnson will appoint Trump president.

in defense of kabumisu……..

addressing things I see people say about why kabru being shipped w mithrun is ‘bad’ or why their canon relationship ‘doesn’t mean anything’ while also clearing up misconceptions of the characters some fans have

listen it keeps popping up and I just gotta do this or my brain will melt (if you don’t see it around then god I wish that were me) there’s an age gap!- erm there’s also an age gap in farcille (ily), the most popular ship in the series...also chilchuck looks like a kid but a lot of fans recognize him as a dilf because of his relative age, so there should be no age gap discourse among adult characters because it feels so conditional tbh

kabru taking care of mithrun is racist!- marcille likes to take care of others as well. is that sexist, or just an aspect of her character?

kabru isn’t treated like a servant, waiting on mithrun hand and foot…I mean he gives mithrun a foot massage but no one told him to do all that lmfao

he's also not the only one to care for mithrun. pattadol is shown to worry for him and milsril was the one to start taking care mithrun in the first place after he…...y’know. speaking of which-

they probably met when kabru was a kid!- neither of them showed signs of recognizing each other the entire time mithrun was introduced nor when they were together. and im pretty sure KABRU of all people would show some kind of recognition if they'd met before. it's kabru!!! the people person!!! mr. "i-noted-down-50+-characters-in-this-dude's-backstory-for-fun-and-actually-enjoy-social-gatherings"

you would think some kind of memory would come back to him especially after hearing mithrun’s backstory if milsril had even told kabru about him as a kid. but nope. it’s just fan speculation unless there's a side comic suggesting otherwise that i haven't seen

mithrun doesn't care about kabru, his shapeshift double looked like shit!- it's obviously because of mithrun's (then) lack of desires that it looked like that, but they really grow on each other

i think it's safe to assume it'd look more like kabru after they spent so much time together (also laios can barely even remember kabru's name..also saw his face multiple times and didn’t recognize him when they talked for the first time)

mithrun is racist!- he’s actually the least likely character to be racist since he lost his desires and that includes a desire for superiority over others. he even calls his past self out on that part of himself. the other elves in that side comic were being just as racist to shorter lived races but just didn’t use ‘outdated slurs’

(unfortunately literally every main character in dunmeshi is at least a lil prejudiced, but I believe it’s worldbuilding and a sign of the times rather than a reason ryoko kui is giving to hate each character)

taking care of others is a pain in the ass!- saying this as a reason kabru and mithrun shouldn't be together is basically saying disabled people shouldn't be allowed to have romantic relationships because they're a "burden"...if someone is actually willing to put in the work, then let them be.

that's not even all of their relationship, mithrun is the fighter of their duo and kabru would've been killed by the shapeshifter or something if he'd fallen down the hole on his own since he sucks at fighting monsters. mithrun helps collect ingredients for cooking every time, too (barometz fruits and griffin egg). he pulls his weight and then some!! i feel like people forget that part of mithrun a lot somehow.

+senshi literally cooks for everyone all time. it's kind of an important aspect of the narrative.

+also, while it is a popular fan thing I see around that kabru handfeeds mithrun, he literally never does lol this is mithrun using his own hands to eat:

also here we have him washing his own body

just saying because people like to treat mithrun like a baby even though the narrative respects him as a capable adult who also has special needs because of an accident. he’s captain for a reason

kabru hates taking care of mithrun!- not exactly, he was initially surprised and put off but got used to it quickly. i’m sure he’s grateful for all the times mithrun saved him from a monster and teleported them out of danger as well

he even starts doing “unnecessary” things for mithrun’s comfort and safety like when mithrun pushes himself too hard fighting, even after his mission to take care of him was complete when the canaries came back

here is even kabru resting while mithrun keeps watch (mithrun let him sleep for 5 hours before waking him up from the nightmare earlier, too):

there's nothing more to their relationship!- they actually have had a very tight and consistent dynamic since they met and they incite the most change within each other by the end. kabru is the one who inspires mithrun to create new desires so he doesn't waste away, and mithrun is the first person we see kabru being genuine with and it leads him to be more honest with others by the end instead of tiptoeing around everyone all the time (that mask was also the reason some ppl initially disliked kabru…)

kabru’s relationship with mithrun is honestly so important for his character and vice versa, but it’s often disregarded because of one over exaggerated aspect of it (an aspect that isn’t even the first way they interact with each other) or because people want to just straight up ignore it for some reason 🥲🥲

kui dedicates many panels to them that don't particularly serve the narrative as a whole in order to demonstrate this and i think that's pretty significant

you're taking this too seriously!- as if i'm the first person in the world to be crazy about a ship or the characters 😭 i love analyzing text and it's upsetting to see them mischaracterized when kui lays out the characters so clearly and deliberately

also they end up touching each other like all the time and have the kind of canon validation most ppl can only dream of lol i feel so insane look at this:

and this is just when they're first getting to know each other cuz there's a fuckload more

kinda hard to explain how i don't actually need them to get married or whatever but i'd die on this hill for them and i enjoy their dynamic immensely

haha you thought you were reading ship discourse but it was actually a character analysis 🤪🤪🤪

also don’t somehow take this to mean I think anyone has to ship them, I just need everyone to understand these accusations kind of don’t make sense especially when they can also apply to other pairs or characters

bonus kabru just looking at mithrun:

[cynicalclassicist]

Well... she is. The Green Party is a spoiler. They spoiled things for Al Gore and enabled that terrible second George Bush presidency, when the one by the first President Bush wasn't great, now they're helping a second Trump presidency. And they helped the first to happen!

And they never really work for political change, they just hold a few local offices and think that they can make the big push now.

Haven't finished season 3 yet because Max is a cunt and won't exist in my region and the website I am using is refusing to upload the 7 other episodes but so far I love it! They fixed pretty much every issue I had with Scudworth and Candide! The lack of clone interactions, the lack of Mr.B and Scudworth being doofuses, aaand Candide hogging up screentime just beeing Scudworth's love intrest! (Not that I mind seeing that...) Anyway, yes... Gay earring Scud is a thing now! Holy shit guys!

[usindistress]

Well, maybe RFK hasn't tasted human meat, but the worm operating his brain has.

(spoilers about DLC final boss)

i don't have enough energy to make a detailed case on this but

has any of Miquella's defenders found out about the proof in the base game that indicates Radahn was leading him on yet...

we found this at the Haligtree.

we know Radahn looks up to Godfrey and Radagon a lot and want to be like them, it makes sense he’d jump at a chance to be a Lord for a New God. i think he’s not above leading on a young Miquella instead of putting an end to a childish crush, even went so far as establishing a vow with him. But Radahn got cold feet later when Miquella was hell bent on going through with it as adult (stuck in a child body or not) & now he had to pay for his ambition.

i think that’s why they emphasize that Miquella made that wish in his youth. A traumatized & insecure child, losing faith in his parents’ Order & having to look his sister withered away, i think he would be very impressionable, especially around someone that strategically showcase his strength and honour like Radahn.

I think all this could have been avoided if Radahn, as the older brother, had just been firm & told him no.
