That and anyone who explains to the left that they too would like a better nominee, but we can figure that out after this crucial election cycle...during every election cycle for their entire life, which are the only times they discuss politics.

When half the population wants to eat shit instead of chocolate just because it looks kina like shit, what do you expect?

[–] Viking_Hippie 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure that whomever you're getting your culinary statistics from is ripping you off..

[–] LemmysMum -2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Keep sucking trumps colon, I'm sure the chocolate is just round the intestinal bend.

[–] Viking_Hippie 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh, you're one of those "if you don't think Biden is perfect you must love Trump" morons? Fuck off with that idiocy.

[–] LemmysMum -1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

No, I'm one of those if you have to pick between a shit sandwich and a shit looking sandwich, you pick the latter not the former.

If no one voted for trump how did he become president, those are your shit eating countrymen and you support their consumption wholeheartedly.

[–] Viking_Hippie 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nobody's saying not to pick, that's YOUR assumption.

What I'm talking about is the people who keep shooting down all criticism with "we can deal with that after this election cycle" and then repeats that mantra every election cycle forever rather than ever ask that establishment politicians do anything other than not being fascists.

If you're one of those, off continues to be the direction in which I ask you to fuck.

[–] LemmysMum -1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Yes, that's how elections work. You elect the representatives then they do thing that represent your wishes.

You keep electing the ones working in the right direction to build momentum.

You don't vote to hit the emergency break because the car isn't going fast enough.

Well, Americans do, but we all know about the current state of American education.

[–] Viking_Hippie 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

then they do thing that represent your wishes.

Except that hasn't been true for the majority of the population for over 40 years now.

You keep electing the ones working in the right direction to build momentum.

Which is neither of the major parties. Every time the GOP leans farther right, the Dems follows out of fear of losing their precious middle sliver. Resulting in them being to the right of Reagan now that the GOP has gone full fascist.

You don't vote to hit the emergency break because the car isn't going fast enough.

You also don't say "well at least we're not in reverse" when the car is driving away from a wildfire at 1mph.

[–] LemmysMum 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Representatives represent. You got what you voted for. 💩

[–] Viking_Hippie 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, because there's nobody and nothing except the majority opinion that decides who gets elected or even nominated.

That's why the median wealth of Congress is ten times that of the general population and the current president is an octogenarian who entered politics before the invention of the pocket calculator and thinks the solution to police brutality is to throw more money at cops 🙄

[–] LemmysMum -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Someone needs a refresher on how representative democracy works, like I said, we know the state of American education.

[–] Viking_Hippie 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I know how it's supposed to work, sure. Unlike you, though, I'm also aware that it doesn't work like that when legal bribes and demagoguery are the two main components of every election.

I can't tell if you're being ridiculously naive or completely disingenuous, but either way, I've already told you to fuck off twice. Maybe third time's the charm. Fuck off.

[–] LemmysMum -1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

All things instituted by representatives of the people who voted for them.

You get what you vote for. 💩

Already told you to fuck off twice.

Nobody's forcing you to stay except your ego and that lack of education that keeps coming up. If this is a conversation you're not ready for you're welcome to not engage.

[–] Viking_Hippie 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

You get what you vote for

You either know that's not true of a system with widespread legalized bribery and you're blatantly lying or you don't and you're a colossal idiot.

Either way, leave me alone.

Nobody's forcing you to stay except your ego

No, I have impulse control issues, a lack of neural input filters and executive dysfunction. It makes it very difficult to not answer when someone says something to me.

and that lack of education that keeps coming up.

From which university did you get your Masters degree in regurgitating naive lies?

If this is a conversation you're not ready for you're welcome to not engage.

I. Said. Fuck. Off.

[–] LemmysMum -1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Americans voted for that system too...

Either way, leave me alone.

It's called walking away, just like you chose shit representatives you choose to continue replying to a conversation you don't want to have. No wonder you don't get it, you can't help but engage in self harm.

[–] Viking_Hippie 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The only one harming me is you with your immense arrogabt stupidity, Dunning Kruger poster boy.

[–] LemmysMum -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's like you practice being this stupid.

[–] Viking_Hippie 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No amount of practice would ever see me reach the peaks of stupidity at which you start without even trying. Now go annoy someone else.

[–] LemmysMum 0 points 9 months ago

You keep replying for the same reason you have shit politicians, you choose to.

[–] voidMainVoid 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Half of the people did not vote for Trump. Not even close.

[–] LemmysMum 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Non voters vote for 'I'll have what she's having', so yeah, they did.

[–] voidMainVoid 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

A lot of people can't vote because they're disenfranchised. That includes people who are underage, have felonies, etc.

[–] LemmysMum 0 points 9 months ago

You voted for that too.
