How will leftists vote for leftists if leftists won’t run?

Okay, that is some pretty deep lore.

But I just can’t resist shitposting about femboy Link…

I’ve got nothing to grovel for your forgiveness for. Not sure if you’re serious about the tankie meeting thing, but that’s a lame-ass thing to say, and I really don’t give a shit if you all decide to waste your time complaining about some random lemming who has the gall to remind you that letting republicans win to spite the democrats is fucking idiotic.

We’re waiting on every conservative democrat to apologize to us for their support of a genocide before we let the democrats hold office again.

Maybe if you would vote in the fucking primaries then you could replace more conservative democrats with progressives. Maybe if you would vote at all then democrats would court the left-wing voting bloc more instead of considering it a lost cause and courting the center/right. But abstaining from the political process and then complaining when you don’t get your way and blaming everyone else is asinine.

The costs don’t fucking “fluctuate” day by day, they go up every day. Maybe the amount it goes up by each day fluctuates, but the cost always goes up.

Also, they’re asking for more fucking money from Congress, but they’re refusing to account for the money they’ve already spent. It’s easily in the billions, with all the rockets they’ve launched.

We could have healthcare and education instead.

They do have rights. Those rights just aren’t being protected or enforced.

There’s a difference. Don’t give credence to this idea that people don’t have rights. They do, and that doesn’t change just because their rights are being violated.

Is it a compelling argument or just speculation?

Sounds horrifying if true, but I’m no reactionary

I don’t know much about him, but didn’t he also help get trump elected by using his platform to discourage people on the left from voting?

When Giorgia Mussolini is more humane and progressive than the United States government…

Except, in capitalism, there is no “actually relax the next day.”

There’s always more work to do. You wake up the next day and do it all again. You make it to the end of the week, and on Saturday you catch up on all the shit around the house you didn’t get to. Sunday you have more shit to do. Monday comes and you go back to work.

A side effect of the alienation of labor is that there’s no incentive to “get it all done and then relax the next day.” No, you get it all done and then it’s onto the next job. If you go above and beyond, you set a new precedent and then your boss expects that from you every day from now on, and if you revert to a “normal” pace then you get reprimanded.

Some people are underprivileged and grow up in inner city neighborhoods where they have no access to reliable transportation to wilderness areas or even urban greenspace. It’s not always a “touch grass” situation.

Me, I grew up eating dirt and berries that I was pretty sure weren’t poisonous. I didn’t believe in washing my hands too much because I thought it would weaken my immune system.

The thing is, being familiar with nature didn’t help me navigate social situations. Someone who grew up in a city and has never seen a real forest is probably wayyy better adjusted and socially-integrated than I’ll ever be…

I could be at the terminal three hours early, and I’ll still feel nervous and anxious until I’m on the plane…

I’ve watched streamers who played BOTW first then play earlier games, and reacted with surprise at how much lore was in them.

Meanwhile, the lore:

I watched Gulliver’s Travels cause I thought it would be interesting. I didn’t realize ahead of time that it was supposed to be a kid’s movie. (At least, I hope it was supposed to be a kid’s movie, cause it would’ve been really shitty by any other standard).

And I have to say, seeing Jack Black acting in a kid’s movie just felt wrong. I mean, I’ve seen that man do dick-ups. I’ve seen him have a placebo acid trip in the desert after peeing on a pregnancy test. Oil and water, man. Some things just don’t mix.

Of course, the spontaneous jam sessions were pretty cringe too. Like, “You were cool twenty years ago, dude. It’s okay to retire and be lame now, but the lamest thing you can do is to keep trying to be cool…”

You mean like the kid fron We Are the Millers who had freshly tweezed eyebrows in every scene of this supposedly post-apocalyptic survivalist future?

Ugh, I just had a visceral reaction when you said “Maze Runner.”

I watched all three films back-to-back once, not out of interest or curiosity or commitment to the plot, no. It was out of masochism.

I knew that they were terrible movies all along, and yet I couldn’t stop watching because I knew I deserved the misery and self-loathing that it was causing me…

And it wasn’t even in a campy way that you could just laugh at and have a good time. They were just bad.

Well, guess what happens when you let amazon of all fucking companies produce a tv adaptation of an influential/cornerstone fantasy book series…

What sucks is they probably own the license now, so no one else can do a better job…

It’s actually that Jesus will come at an appointed time that no one can know or decide, and when he does he’ll smite the followers of the evil lunatic to hell. So no, trumpees don’t even know their own religion…

That’s actually based af. The only thing it’s missing is changing the patient to be Epstein

Inconceivable!

Does this mean the tankies are actually going to vote in the midterms?

Or are they just going to have a harder time coming up with excuses why Democrats are so bad that it’s better just to let Republicans hold onto power?
