A vote for no one is claiming they're the same.

Not really. It implies that neither are good enough, not that they are the same.

If your freedom is something you don't care about

Is it freedom when I have to vote at the threat of Hitler 2.0 every year? Am I not allowed to pull politicians back to my positions when they get too far out of whack? Why are you blaming your fellow ~~Americans~~ classmen for not electing your candidate, instead of asking your candidate to be more electable? Nevermind you; how about the candidate themselves, scolding people for not electing them?

How do you know the entire democratic platform isn't just empty platitudes? Roe V Wade/ Dobbs happened on Democrats' watch. In fact, everything the supreme court is doing is happening on Biden's watch, as he didn't do much more than float adding justices to make it less partisan. Everything with the economy, food prices, housing, healthcare, and the gaslighting instead of action on those fronts, is on their watch. They've completely given up on opposing the anti-immigration narratives coming from the right...

We're tired of democrats running on being controlled opposition to the republicans. They need to do more than just imply or let us assume they're going to do things because it opposes what the other guy is doing. They need to reach deep and find some policy positions of their own and earn votes because they're actually popular. Not because they're not the other guy.

I'd like to vote for Kamala in November but I also think it's important to hold out until I personally find her platform compelling on its own merits, not on any pressure campaign or the implied lack of anyone else's. Change and progress don't happen by being passive and letting people shout you down.

It's irrational for anyone to vote for a guy who hates you.

Oh yeah? What if the other guy is worse!?

Imagine, for a moment, that there is no democratic party. Trump is the furthest left you can go, the closest you can get to progress, and the other guy is promising to take you backwards. This is not bizarro world, Trump will take you backwards too, and will still tell the world that anyone to the left of him is a radical, including you. Just not as bad as the other guy.

Just humor me. You'd be irrational not to vote for Trump, no? Even though he hates you? Even to make him squirm a little bit and win some concessions?

You'd vote for the other guy, just because he's not Trump? Cause that guy hates you too, probably worse. Not vote? Well obviously that's a vote for the other guy. Sorry, I don't make the rules. I just vote for the people that do.

Those are clearly millipedes

I totally agree with you about right wing hypocrisy and bigotry, I just don't think this will serve as a good example of it. Being transphobic wouldn't preclude him, or anyone that could be swayed to vote for him, from thinking that gender bending (mocking trans people) comedy is funny... not all performances are endorsements. Things like minstrel shows and blackface were also considered funny at a point in time and it's not because anyone involved thought blacks were people or deserving of equal rights.

I'd rather the crowd have to look at themselves as he rambles on, clueless to the whole arrangement.

As someone who rents so much of my mail is from past residents which I have told them do not live here, or local ads (literally several magazines per month) which I can't opt out of cause it's EDDM, that I straight up just stopped collecting it. Any small packages that would have gone in the box go on top of the cluster and any letters I received are stuffed into the box and I pick them out if I happen to notice I'm missing something.

Anyone that really needs my attention would call me or email me shrug

This guy is definitely trolling

Just be glad your system is more or less universal and doesn't depend on what type of liquid the bottle contained and whether that product is offered at the particular store you return your bottles at...

Doesn't sound like they avoided adding or widening a highway, just that what they did add is only accessible if you pay a toll.

Look up "thebootydiaries tumblr sweaty" and give the images that come up a brief scroll. I'm not very creative so I'm just gonna tell you that we can do this all day.

(edit: I've realized you probably already know about this and I'm the one missing the joke but i saw a brief opportunity to contribute and took it so I'm not taking it down.)

Is this "very real border problem" in the room with us right now?

Yo I hate to be that guy but idk if this one is the own you think it is.

I'm not usually one to police humor, but as a woman this one just stoops a bit too deeply to their level for me to the point that it is indiscernible from the kinds of jokes that misogynists make with zero self-awareness.

Given lawmakers that understand how the internet works, I think it would be. To me this isn't any different than a handful of years back when ISPs were throttling websites to give an advantage to the certain ones that paid them to work faster.
