@SultaniaKarima @202strawberries@TheAntifaTurtle The people supporting Biden in 2020 “to beat Trump” while simultaneously supporting the same Obama era policies that brought about Trump felt like lung cancer patients undergoing chemo just so they could start smoking again
I hate it here
@superhumanity@NathanJRobinson seeing the shitty part and still voting for them is ignoring the shitty part. this is not impossible, people do it all the time. we call this phenomenon “voting blue no matter who”
@superhumanity@NathanJRobinson yeah, you just need to ignore the shitty part and focus on the blue part
that’s what everybody in this thread keeps telling you
@superhumanity@NathanJRobinson If anything, being aware of just how shitty they are is a vital component of the ignoring process. Were we simply ignorant of the shittiness we needn’t ignore anything
@superhumanity@NathanJRobinson I agree they are aware of what makes the candidate shitty due to reporting on the shitty candidate. It’s not a secret that the candidates are shitty. But you’re supposed to put that aside, ignore it if you will, and vote for them anyway
@superhumanity@NathanJRobinson yup. they ignore how shitty the candidate is and vote for them because they’re blue. that’s what the rhyme explicitly calls for.
@protagoooon probably to just stop being weird about trans people
the picture of the fictional trans character was never going to hurt you, there’s no reason to get emotional about it
