I promise that if I ever get elected Tyrant, I will pay for my own domain name out of pocket.

Surprisingly, tyranny.com is for sale.

Vegetables are a social construct.

I have read all the sentences, and I agree with the first one.

What I felt needed a little commentary was the rest. See, minds more impressionable than yours and mine may come to the conclusion that voting is pointless if you can only vote for the lesser evil.

I don't know whether she is better than you think she is - my point was that it doesn't matter, and that speculating, postulating and pontificating about how she may not be as good as we want her to be just turns people off of voting. Which would be bad.

That was my whole point.

Nice. Those never fail to cheer me up :)

I won't argue over whether she does have my best interests at heart. It. Does. Not. Matter.

I don't want to marry her, I want her to keep Trump out of office - and right now, she is the only one who can.

Fun fact: Most exterminators don't have your best interest in mind - they just want to make a living. Yet, they do keep the bedbugs away, so it's all good.

Agreed.

Would it be nicer if we lived in a multi party system? Probably. Do we? No. Voting as though we are is not useful (maybe unless you live in a state that you are 100% certain can not be flipped).

If you hate one candidate even slightly less than the other, for example because the former has not yet stated that they want to punish colleges that allow pro Palestine demonstrations, vote for that first one.

Isn't that precisely what the article said?

 

It has been said a gazillion times over the last few months, but is it getting through to those who need to hear it?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Ah. That makes sense. Thanks.

This far, Vance is only a dipshit millionaire (estimated ~10M).

Did like: The radiant smile when the moderator told the two that their microphones had been cut.

Did not like: "During the last four years, Kamala did this", "She had enough time, why didn't she do that", and so forth. Dude, she was not the President, and the President is not the King. I was waiting in vain for someone to point that out. Also, what's with using the first name all the time? Would he have done that if the VP was a man?

Thank you for pointing that out! I always thought it looked interesting, but somehow thought that it was only available on Steam - and my PC is not up to the task. Just bought it for the PS5.

 

Most free web sites pay for their upkeep with ads. It has been an unwritten agreement since forever (or at least as long as there have been ads on the web) that if you consume the content, you pay the creator by looking at the ads on their site.

Consuming the content without looking at the ads is like shoplifting because you don't like the way a store's checkout counter works and/or the fact that they want money from you at all.
