The comment thread is going way off the rails here. If I policed every comment, many bans would be issued. I don't have the time for that, so I'm locking this down, and giving everybody involved (you know who you are) a warning: don't do this again, please.

I mean, the hair says it all. . .

And the mustache is close enough.

To be fair, that look also works if you’re a left leaning guy that owns a salvage denim store In Brooklyn.

This is exactly what I imagine every time I see one of those clown accounts on Lemmy. So many people pushing the “both sides” or “don’t bother voting” narrative.

Same. Only I imagine them as a 14 or 15 year old version. I simply can’t accept that a grown adult would believe that bullshit.

To be fair, someone is not required to actually believe something to type that thing. For example, I'd imagine that the advertisers for Subway don't actually believe that Subway makes the best, freshest sandwiches around.

Edit for those who didn't understand what I was saying here: I was implying that not everybody on the internet is acting in good faith when they type out their opinions on things.

Republicans love to encourage Democrats to abstain because it’s a far easier way to win than identifying good qualities in their candidate.

Absolutely it is.

NYT has really become trash.

[–] PunnyName 12 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It's an op-ed, which are all trash, no matter the publication.

I've been critical of Biden on several things, currently the fact that I don't think he's up to the demand of the campaign season. All that said, I've been very clear that I would vote for a wet sandwich before I vote for Trump or don't vote. I think most third party voters are coming at this from a genuine place; after all, we've never had two more unpopular candidates running against each other. But the MFs telling you not to vote are up to some shit. IIRC, only one party's voters are easily dissuaded.
