Dr Wong said it best "it's maintenance, like wiping you ass or taking a shower"

If that quiet old man hadn't decided to try to cling to power despite no longer being fit to hold the office, we might not even be in this predicament.

You're missing a little genocide factor and a shitloads of unkept promises here

Yeah, the “leftifts” that didn’t show up for those “reasons” are as bad as the magatards and bear the same responsibility. As a leftist myself (not in US though) I curse the absurdism of leftist politicians and electors and their puritanical behavior that can’t seem to do real politics.

It's quite paradoxical; right, an ideology about them-vs-us being such united and left, an ideology (at least theoretically) about camaradery being such divided

You want them to keep voting for the lesser evil until eternity with both evils moving further to the right every election, got it?
Nothing absurd there.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Both parties keep moving to the right becuase voters keep rewarding right by wing behaviour. You get the politicians you vote for

Harm reduction is better than nothing. Yes, I fucking do, then I want them to vote for better people on a local level as they have the option to do. First reduce risk of further harm. Then treat the wound.

It's crazy that you would rather have a dictatorship than a centralist .

I'm not sure it would have helped. 2 Democrats haven't been elected into office back to back since before the Civil War.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

judging by the results from the election, yeah no. Nothing would've changed it.

"When I wasn't directly affected things were good!" Do better, guys.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"When things were better, things were better" is a bad thing to say now?

Joe Biden was a perfect example of how delegating authority to the right technocrats, and then standing back and staying out of the way is the best form of executive leadership. I legitimately have no idea why he gets so much hate even from his own party.

legitimately biden admin has been the most productive admin in the US government since like, FDR maybe. There are probably a few others, but most have been rather boring.

He has the same problem I have at work. When everything is going well, no one really knows. The servers keep running and everyone is happy with IT, but after a while, people start to question what it is we are doing.

I voted for him and was honestly expecting worse.
