Look, if you're scooping turds out of a punch bowl, and the only tool you have is a net that might be made of turds, then you can either keep scooping or you can throw away the whole bowl of punch. You don't just give up and drink the punch because it's all the same. One is a turd in the punchbowl. The other is a mechanism for removing the turds, but it's also probably a turd. Doing something is still doing something, even if the punch is still shit.
You can either hold your nose and eat the turds or agree to permanently become the tail end of a human centipede. You got the centipede because you threw away the turds despite every minority begging you not to. Enjoy the centipede.
Exactly.
"Here. I'm either going to give you this this sandwich, or I can hit you with this bat."
"Fuck you. I don't like the sauce on the sandwich. Ouch! Curse this bat that has nothing to do with my decisions!"
None of you seem capable of taking a step back and realizing that there are more options than being force-fed a turd sandwich or getting hit with a bat. You've already lost if you're willfully limiting yourself to these two options because those will only ever be your options until you decide you've had enough of both.
Tell me you know nothing about American politics without telling me you know nothing about American politics
If I walked up to you and told you I was going to hit you in the face or the groin and to pick one, you'd dutifully pick one and tell everyone how smart you were to pick what you did and how no one else is such a pragmatic chooser as you, you supreme master of contrived trolley problems.
I'll tell you one thing for sure, if anything gets better in the next few years it wont be because of the centrist dems like yourself.
What a nothing comment. If you had something to "inform me" with you would have done it instead if pretending like you have some special insight into fixing our problems by giving the Dems another turn at the helm as if they haven't been steering us to this very point too.
The secret sauce on the Democrat sandwich was the blood of Palestinian children being killed by US weapons. Those who still possess a moral compass found the copius amounts of blood difficult to stomach.
Personally I would have preferred ranch or avocado spread, but the DNC and Biden admin looked at the menu and actively chose blood.
Good thing Trump ended that conflict then. I'm so glad the Republicans haven't continued funding Israel's war on the Palestinian people...
None of that washes the blood off of the hands of Democrats.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
This argument will never hold any water whatsoever when the Republican bat contained much more Palestinian blood mixed in with far more blood from immigrants and trans people as well
What "argument" are you referring to?
I agree that Republicans are the worse of two evils, by far.
I was just pointing out that Democrats are not a benign sandwich, they are violent conservatives. Just less violent and less conservative than the alternative.
What? In my metaphor, Democrats are the nets made of sometimes poop, and Republicans are the turds. Was that not clear?
Ok. Let's do that.
Yeah, sure. Gather the guillotine and meet me in the town square.
These aren't guns, ppl over there don't just have them in excess.
Make small communes/art&crafts groups & construct the guillotines as a fun team building exercises.
Perhaps make a lil contest which one is the prettiest.
I vote for the one with googly eyes.
