You should look up 'proud flesh' on horses(warning, its a graphic skin condition). It's what I think of everytime I see proud boys, except somehow they're more disgusting.

What about all the innocent women who are dying in our country because of who trump appointed to the supreme court and the result was the overturning roe vs wade?

Do those lives matter at all to you? Women bleeding to death in their cars because hospitals refuse to treat a miscarriage.

What about the kids who get massacred in school shootings because Trump and people like him won't support increased gun control legislation?

What about all the innocent people of color who have been killed by police? Do they matter to you?

If trump gets into the office not only will the Palestinian people be far worse off, so will every group I mentioned above and more.

You said you are against killing innocent people, then why dont you care about the women, children, and people of color who are getting killed in our country needlessly?

There's far more destruction for far more people if trump gets into office. If you want to double down, go for it, because I think it's worth reminding people just how much death in our country can attributed to Trump. Every woman who dies from preventable pregnancy complications. Trump directly contributed to that.

Was this some iteration of "straight men don't care about aesthetics, they care about function" type of thing??

Because that's such a boring existence. I'm sorry your dad hates aesthetics. I hope you've found your own tastes despite him.

This guy looks like a Dr. Phil and Mussolini photo merge.

Is this the mcdonalds hot coffee case all over again? Defaming the victims and making everyone think they're ridiculous, greedy, and/or stupid to distract from how what the company did is actually deeply fucked up?

The thing is, a lot of white people in the US are probably descendants of illegal immigration and they either dont know, or dont care. I know my family is. During the Irish potato famine we can trace when my ancestors immigrated to Canada and illegally hopped the boarder into the US(they should've stayed in Canada, I could've been Canadian and have access to healthcare damnnit)

I know my ancestors aren't the only ones who did that. People were desperate then, just like they are now.

I hate that this country has way too many bigoted hypocrites and too many talking heads that encourage them to believe bullshit lies.

It's not that not don't understand how things are supposed to work.... it's that fewer and fewer parts of the government are functioning free of corruption.

Forgive me for not assuming the electoral college is functioning outside of that type of influence.

Learning how things actually function vs what we were taught are two different things.

The whole system is basically fucked. The Supreme Court can be bought and so can other politicians via "gratuities"... including the electoral college.

They already did not honor the popular vote in 2016 for whatever reason, and it's not the first time it's happened in recent history.

I can imagine Harris doesn't want to give them anymore reason to just say fuck it and hand us another trump presidency.

Poe's Law has leaked into reality.

There's also the fact that Harris has to appeal to the electoral college. She's not just trying to win our votes.
If she took a firm stance on stopping the killing in Gaza the electoral college could very easily hand their votes to trump. Like they did in 2016.

I'm fairly certain it's a big contributing factor as to why democrats keep inching to the right on certain issues. The electoral college has too much power. At the end of the day it's their votes that count, so Harris has to appeal to them too.

When supreme court justice kavanaugh was followed by protesters he had a hissy fit and said they couldnt do that. But it's totally fine to spy on everyone with a phone and expose their medical data.

These hypocritical fuckheads deserve exactly what you are proposing and I'd fucking love to see it happen.

We could even say it's to protect the children... make sure certain politicians who have expressed interest in legalizing child marriage aren't left alone with any.

Shitty magazines like cosmo and teen people for one. All those weird fashion blogs and celebrity media bullshit. Plus all the ethically dubious ways fashion brands market their products to get people to buy more clothes.

Then it's reinforced by their peers and sometimes family.

Sadly marketing and advertising has steered cultural norms for way longer than it should.
