Aaaand the right is going after Tim Walz for, Checks Notes...

Being a Gamer.

With a Dreamcast.

During the Dreamcast era.

Yeah apparently that's a bad thing? Feels rather relatable...and it was on a Sega Dreamcast?

What a bunch of totally unrelatable weirdos. That's bad-fucking-ass. Should play it up somehow too honestly.

Half of Everything I've learned about Walz has been from the right claiming something Entirely Normal is actually worse than they are as people. It always, always backfires.

like in addition to ushering it an absolute nightmare world for lgbt people, especially trans people, and anyone who can get pregnant, especially black women, and like countless other things a vote for biden is a vote against the worst possible outcome for the climate imaginable. you can't be a single issue voter. we don't live in a single issue society.

Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina all trending blue??

PLEASE KEEP IT UP

Can Bitch McConnell just permanently freeze already? Apparently he soft rebooted AGAIN at an event and still no dice...

C'mon, universe. While you're dishing out karma to certain orange felons, let's not forget the man who is, apart from Trump, almost single-handedly responsible for the fascist regressive fucking mess this country is in and will be for decades thanks to the corrupt and illegitimate SCOTUS (and the rest of the Trump judges). I wish him all the good will that he and the GOP have shown to everyone else, which is: get fucked and die, bitch.

There are few things I think about all the time, and one of them is the cold open rant Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) went on about America not being the greatest country in the world in The Newsroom; particularly his hilarious point of “if liberals are so fucking smart how come they lose so goddamn always?” Aaron Sorkin really did something with that statement because yeah, we’ve got a history of fucking losing

How on earth is harris v trump a tight race??? How do ppl look at donald trump having SEEN the way he acted in his presidential term, seen his LENGTHY criminal record, seen the fact that NOBODY else in his party aside from some loose hanging cultists wants to associate with him, seen the way he literally incited riots after losing an election which resulted in at least seven deaths, seen his total lack of coherent policy plan, and think yeah well but Kamala is a cop. Which isn’t even fucking true

[proserpine-in-phases]

Interesting I didn't think she'd pick walz

Why do Dems seem to think we need Genocide to protect trans and gay people?

One day people will understand that anti-genociders withholding or voting third party isn't necessarily them trying to get politicians to listen

It's to get You to Listen and Demand Better.

The fact is, you're demanding Genocide and That Is Wrong. You should oppose Genocide no matter Who.

If ya'll were to demand they do anything else, we'd have a shot at progress. But ya'll are too tied up in insulting people for reasons ya refuse to understand on the grounds of fear. Criticising the administration's involvement is seen as opposing democrats.

Sucks. But I value human life and don't arbitrate that depending on country or personal situations. I don't view Genocide on a party basis. Just a cult one, which is why All Republicans keep saying they want Genocide. The word itself is used multiple times in a positive manner by R's. Why the fuck are Dems agreeing with them???

Be Anti-Genocide and ya get the anti-genocide crowd back. All this "I gotta smuggle my hormones!" is you saying your hunger supersedes that of anyone's starvation. Sorry I'm trans too, but I don't think anyone's medicine supersedes a Fucking Genocide???????????

You can, and nobody is denying the possibility, of you voting dem. What Anti-Genociders want, is a party that isn't Pro-Genocide.

If ya want the Anti-Genocide voter, then start being Anti-Genocide. Everything else is genuinely embarrassing. Imagine defending Genocide by saying it simply has to happen so you can get medicine. Ever consider you could change that situation instead of allowing it to play out?

If republicans put "kill all gays" as a bill, and dems put "kill all whites" do you really think there should be a decision made as a voter for either party? Who should I vote for?

Or should you Demand Dems drop the fucking "kill all whites" bill so white people aren't scared into voting to kill all the gays?

This shit is so uncomplicated I explained it in child's terms. Cmon dems. Fucks sake. If someone puts a gun to a child's head and says "choose yourself or the child" YA DON'T DEFEND THE MAN WITH A GUN.

sometimes i feel like rn it's really understated just how bad things could be if trump wins. like, actually. i feel like it's being forgotten that despite how bad things are right now, they would surely get WORSE.

[todayisafridaynight]

would it be okay if u told me why u like aoki😭/gen😭😭😭😭BEEN TRYNA LIKE HIM FOR SO LONG I JUST CANTT but i love ur art so much so i still consume it otherwise lol

i liked tohru adachi in high school and tbh i think that alone is enough of an explanation for why i ended up liking aoki

[steevejr]

idk man call me cynical but even if trump ‘cheated’ or committed voter fraud or whatever it’s never gonna be investigated seriously. I doubt it’ll even be half heartedly investigated for show. everyone in power likes each other. they’re all friends. it doesn’t matter who won or lost. they’re all going out to dinner to celebrate anyway. they don’t give a fuck. if anyone cared then he’d be in prison.

[shallanspren]

what if drump wins the popular vote but kamala wins the ec lmao. would the republicans finally get on board with getting rid of it??

[uchiha-gaeshi]

Look who just voted third party 🎉 🥳

[uiruu]

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re very young and aren’t deliberating spreading misinformation about how the US branches of government work. The president does not have ANY say in Supreme Court decisions. The president belongs to the executive branch of government. The Supreme Court belongs to the judicial branch. The only influence the executive branch has on the Supreme Court is if/when the president gets the opportunity to appoint a new justice, which only occurs when a current justice dies or steps down. Those appointments from the president’s office need Senate approval before a justice can be confirmed to the court.

The US currently has a conservative majority on the court: there are nine justices total with six being conservative — three of them were appointed by Trump due to vacancies that occurred during his administration* (technically one vacancy occurred under Obama, but the conservative-majority Senate at that time blocked his nominees until he left office, meaning Trump was in a position to fill that vacancy. Hm, almost as though voting does in fact matter because of how our branches of government are designed, and Democratic presidents alone can’t achieve unilateral change!).

I understand the frustration with the state of the country right now, but acting like Biden is a king with unprecedented power over the judicial and legislative branches is dangerously out of touch with the reality of how this country works. Although ironically, Trump and his allies plan to redistribute power into the executive branch when he takes office by minimizing the power of the legislative and judicial branches (see Project 2025). If Project 2025 comes to fruition, the executive branch WOULD have king-like power, which is what The US Constitution was written to avoid. I recommend learning about the limits and parameters of presidential power before you “voting is useless” your way into handing absolute power to Trump.

im not gonna respond to very much of this, except to say that i'm almost certainly older than you, and also it's funny for you to be like "Biden isnt a king and doesnt have absolute power, there's nothing he can do about the supreme court. but Trump will have absolute power". which one is it? is the president important or not? also, you people all say that the democrats will be better than the republicans. where's the proof of that? what have they done for anyone? commit genocide?

i'm not trying to be mean but if you're not american and you have no idea how the american voting system works, maybe just shut the fuck up about the 2024 election. thanks.
