People are sexist, who knew? The patriarchy is alive and thriving.

"So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide."

No no, you don't understand. Just like imperialism, it's only bad when "the West" does it.

This is exactly it for me. If you give me cash, I will appreciate it but just end up saving it. If you give me a gift card I will use it to buy something I wouldn't have otherwise.

Plus, you can be more intentional with gift cards. Was your dad talking about how much he'd like a new fishing pole? Getting him a gift card to an outdoors store shows you were paying attention. Maybe your wife really likes manicures but never gets them for herself. A gift card to a spa shows thought.

The entire US government is the image of war crimes they egged on, regardless of party. Don't act like you're not immediately a war criminal by becoming president. Trump is a war criminal. So is Biden, and Obama, and every president before then with precious few exceptions.

led to them ordaining Biden

You understand he's not running now, right? The rest of the post is a non-sequitor because he's not the candidate now.

You also need to include the investment companies buying property just to hold it and sell when the value is high. This creates artificial scarcity, increasing prices by lowering supply. They aren't renting these properties out, they let them sit empty. I think simply banning corporations from owning houses (and this would obviously need some detailed definition of 'house') you'd immediately see a huge price decline.

Similar to Harney Peak being renamed Black Elk Peak. Though Harney wasn't a Confederate, he did massacre Native American men, women, and children. Tribal/indigenous naming is so much better.

Cool, so you would rather moralize about what will happen regardless of who wins this election than try to prevent America from becoming a theocracy. Cool cool. Enjoy the indiscriminate slaughter of all those groups you say you support. I hope you live comfortably through all the death. Have a good one.

Nice slippery slope fallacy you got there. Do you care so little about women and lgbtqia+ people that you'd willingly sacrifice their rights? Do you care so little for kids that you'd allow the department of education to be dismantled and replaced with privatized school? Do you care so little for the shred of democracy left in America that you'd willingly let us become a christofascist theocracy? Republicans and project 2025 are a threat to the very foundation of this country, and you won't vote to stop that? They'll also let Israel continue their bullshit and spread it to other countries like Iran. You're cool with that? Just so you can feel morally superior while allowing all of this other stuff to happen?

If you're not voting Democrat right now, you're an accelerationist.

This election is two choices. You either get athlete's foot or terminal cancer. If you don't choose, you get terminal cancer. If you protest because athlete's foot is still bad, you get terminal cancer. Make your choice accordingly.

Fuck dude, it's all so goddamned depressing. The only sliver of hope I have is that I can pass my knowledge to my kids and teach them better much younger. Hopefully enough people do this sort of thing that we might finally pull ourselves out of our bullshit ignorance. I know it's worth nothing, but I'm sorry all the same.
