But why is it still going?

McDonald’s in Europe charges similar prices to America but pays living wages to their employees.

I get the reference, but as an actual suggestion it’s a little thoughtless.

It’s his own fault for shooting at his employer’s home anyway.

Oh, okay. You just want to be mad without fixing the situation.

Well, you can kindly go fuck yourself.

“Standards for thee and none for me” is all I’m taking from this.

Have a great day.

When the Democratic party’s strategists have decided that “you definitely don’t want the other guy voted in” in place of literally any other strategy is their best option, please explain to me why anyone further left of your centrism should believe that the administration will take another vote cast for them as anything but approval of the job they’ve done so far and an endorsement of more of the same.

On the flip side, to hold Biden himself accountable for the overreaction from University boards’ decisions on behalf of their corporate masters (donors, if that wasn’t clear), or responsible for the large number of Representatives and Senators making and voting for policy with their heads up their own or others’ asses, when he has been caught on the hot mic disparaging Netanyahu for how Israel is conducting itself is holding the wrong person accountable.

I get where they’re coming from. I get it on a level you clearly don’t because you have proven time and again that you have little capacity to sympathize with those who are clearly tired of voting for the “least damaging option”. Take a break and let someone else debate with them, because the more you criticize the further you’ll solidify their position.

Okay, dad?

I don’t really see you as being in a position to take a high ground on the basis of usernames.

While I’m so disaffected that I’ve had to have my fire rekindled to vote for the “least damaging option” yet again, and while I’ll be dragging my feet to the booth in November, I feel from key words in this conversation that their mastery of English is surprising to the point of suspect when I consider the errors they’re committing.

I’d advise saving your energy for a less disingenuous conversation.

Have a great day.

We know this isn’t an age-restricted reaction, so cool it with the “shaming young people” rhetoric.

Gotta love that Animorphs font.

My guy is talking about a controlled environment with scientific processes and y’all here talkin’ like he wants to chuck it on a few logs.

Ecstasy of Gold - Ennio Morricone

Sweet Jesus, I thought you were my wife for a minute. Those are literally my cats in every respect except for the fact that they aren’t.

I’m SHOCKED. Shocked I tell you!

Nothing misleading about it. It bans protections, not protection.

If you’re housed I’ll trade you my current situation so you can test that for yourself.

Why does it matter to me? I’ve made it clear that popular opinion no longer influences me because I sacrifice every voting round to elect the Neoliberal option that keeps the devil at bay. I’m not asking even for my candidate to win, but for concessions that matter to the lowest earners in America.

Withholding votes has long been a clear declaration that those looking to build a bloc need to do more than point at the other team and say: “You’re electing that.”

It’s not enough any more. I can’t keep voting your way because you need me to so absolutely desperately that you’re willing to do everything except give me what I’m asking for.

Why do you keep thinking that you can just bully me into voting your way?

The analogy is perfect. You just don’t realize it.

Where, when, and how have I ever argued for this? Can you even state my position in a single sentence?
