@leftist_lawyer This is still not an argument for actively supporting a piece of shit. Yes, leftists have higher ethical standards. That's a good thing. Should we start backing pedophiles just because the fascists do it?
@BigIndianPub@stephen_richer Easy. Trump sucked so hard it brought a lot of non-voters out of the woodwork. Biden sucked so hard they stayed home again.
@ettingermentum philandry is not the same thing as abuse. one is breaking made-up relationship rules and the other is actively harming another human being.
@rieszspieces because a lot of them aren't leftists. they want leftism for themselves and don't care about women, PoC, etc. If they won the lottery and no longer needed to worry about their material needs, they'd never interact with politics again.
@fullslack_ one fascinating thing about the platner thing is that it's causing a lot of situations such as this post where both people are equally stupid and wrong
@Outlivingwastak@vanillaopinions because he's an empty suit for capital, which is the straightest thing a man can be. no amount of dick can change that.

@Avesvery The Force Awakens was mostly well received and The Last Jedi came out in 2018. Also jfc can we at least let the r-word be a red flag for people? I'm allowed to say it based on a medical diagnosis and I still don't because I don't want people thinking I'm a chud.
@bumpkinsTV if I get the urge to beat my shit while playing a game, I just close the game and open porn. someone please tell these chuds about the Hub.
@bumpkinsTV do these people know they can find porn on the internet for free within ten seconds of opening their computers? it's a lot cheaper than video games!
