OK but... the whole point of democracy is that you figure out how to work with people that you don't like.
If being on the "same side" with people who you disagree with or personally dislike bothers you... fucking get over it. We can't build a better society until you do.
I mean, OP is still voting for her. I think it's just expressing frustration at the absurdity of the whole situation. It's like campaigning for campaign finance reform, and Elon Musk endorses you. Like, you sit there and say, "What the fuck am I supposed to do with this information? This might be harmful or it might be helpful, but either way, I'm disgusted by it."
I read Hitler breathed air so I'm going to just stop doing that ✋️
I read that in Jixuan's voice.
Yeah, just fucking get over it and accept that your bar is now a Nazi bar..
I'm not saying you have to spend time with people you don't like. If you formed a political party of only people you would personally choose to hang out in a bar with, your party would never have any significance.
We have way bigger things to worry about than what Dick Cheney thinks. Insect counts are down globally, it was the hottest summer on record again, COVID is still with us and becoming more contagious, people are struggling to even buy groceries after all the pandemic price gouging, and the only ideas the Republicans have are to lower taxes on the wealthy again.
Vote with your brain, not your feelings.
Even the actual literal Nazis got things right once. They armed Ethiopia against Italy's invasion. They did it for shitty reasons, but I'm still in favour of sending guns away from Nazis and to the people fighting against being colonised. If Hitler himself can end up on the right side of history on the odd occasion, so can Cheney.
You people should start your own team and get registering for the next Olympics, these mental gymnastics, while completely unconvincing to anyone but yourself, are absolutely mind blowingly wild enough to at least get you Eddie the Eagle level recognition!
