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.
Mom, can we have Adolph Hitler?
We have Adoloh Hitler at home.
Adolph Hitler at home.
The NYT is not a friend of liberal America anymore.
I've thought about subscribing to the NYT, the WaPo, and a few others over the past couple of years, but they are all really... I don't see the value, or the quality. I guess quantity makes everything I look at just watered down. Like hell I had a ArsTechnica subscriber++ for a year and it just didn't make sense to stay subscribed. Wired trial for like 6 months, same. And those are relatively cheap, and still weren't worth it.
I get nearly all my news through Reuters (and largely like them), but I want to diversify my sources a bit. But they all seem to be 'meh', and the topics closest to me (tech and lgbt) I already get from a few sites that I trust. Is there any (other) major news source that can actually be better than mediocre, or is my bar way too high?
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.
