When people become politically active enough to produce a younger Alfred we can vote for him or her. Until then- it’s going to take a lot more than SJWs being outraged every election year and then disappearing into obscurity in between.
And this is a fact.
They don't disappear into obscurity, you spend 3 years telling them to shut the fuck up then ignoring them until election year arrives and you realize it's time to start preemptively blaming them if you lose.
Is that what I do? Because I don’t recall ever telling anyone to shut the fuck up- about anything.
But since some random person that I’ve never talked to before on the internet says so…
It HAS to be true!
"I acknowledge the systemic truth of the statement therefore I'll twist it to imply the statement is made specifically in reference to me and me alone so I can snarkily dismiss it instead of actually offering a counterargument"
Oh the fucking irony! You got balls. I’ll admit that.
I am not voting for the person who had my friends slaughtered. Believe it or not, some of us knew people in Gaza.
Since you’re putting the idea that you have lost friends into play- we’re done here. I cannot in good faith, debate with people that claim to have a personal connection to a thing that cannot be verified.
Either you have- and therefore have a tremendous bias that cannot, and should not be argued with, or you haven’t, and you’re here in bad faith to create arguments that will result in anyone disagreeing with you as heartless trolls to be banned.
I’ve seen this WAY too many times.
Have a good day.
Really sad. As though no one has trans, queer, immigrant, or POC friends or friends in need of abortion either. As though we didn’t see the other guy double down on his “finish the job” line once again. Sending love 🩵
Exactly. I’ve had many people affected by the recent christofacist policy. As having lived in Florida for a good portion of my life- until recently, and having a lot of LGBTQ* friends and family, and well… just simply KNOWING women- I’ve had to see a lot of suffering as well- along with suicides and some severe health-decline.
But I guess the rest of us have no say.
I totally understand that (and Im sorry for your loss). But that objectively helps the guy who would not care at all (as opposed to at least trying to put a little bit of pressure) and actually encourage them to go for an even more radical "final solution". Voting is always picking the least evil. The US system simply does not allow you a serious choice - it would be better to direct your anger against that system, instead of against the least evil of the real options.
