Ok look, if you trust your mother completely, and you think she isn’t lying, that’s fine. But people can be fed information they think it’s true and then spread a falsehood, thinking they told the truth. Also people forget and misremember stuff. So maybe the doctors lied or didn’t tell her something. Or maybe she forgot.

Can’t wait till they come out with the sky color scoop. Maybe a follow up on water wetness.

Dude if you think I’ve got “unquestioning support of Democratic failures” you really haven’t read a single thing I’ve written.

Damn, looking down on people trying to coming to whatever out they can find isn’t a good look

This is how corn posting happens

Look, I hate the whole blue no matter who bullshit, too. And yeah, maybe your specific vote, for someone who didn’t win, didn’t change history. But you gotta admit that the system as it was, and is, does not favor splitting the the vote, since it’s winner takes all. Since we have only two parties powerful enough to potentially win on the national level, if you don’t like Republicans, you’re stuck with Democrats. If you don’t like Democrats, you’re stuck with Republicans. With the system as it is now, on a national level, that’s what we’re working with.

I want to fix that. We should fix that. I’d like to see the Republicans and Democrats ousted. I want to see ranked choice voting. I think you feel the same and I’m not even sure why you’re arguing with me at this point.

But if we want to have meaningful impact, we have to still work with this broken car we’re riding in while working on changing it for something better.

So yeah, vote third party at local levels and work our way up, push for voter reform and build a system that is more equitable, but also vote strategically. We no longer vote for, we vote against.

Yeah you sure showed him. He’s sad in the oval office over it. Good job, you helped get him elected.

Oh ok, so Denny’s is a chain restaurant that serves diner food. It’s not known for it’s quality, and is known for being disappointing at best. It’s primary customers are people who don’t have anywhere better to eat.

See, this is tricky, because if I don’t name your very specific type of socialism you’ll call me a liberal.

Weird, that’s not the president.

Look, the system is fucked up but also you gotta do the good you can even in a broken system.

yes

Lol I didn’t know that’s a thing

So your strategy last election was to, what, not vote for Kamala? How’d that work out?

Man it’s sometimes awkward being an orange, those fucking orangites give us all a bad name, but now a lot of greenists think I’m one of them. It sucks because I’m a greenist but seeing a lot of hate towards orange people because of those orangists hurts a lot.

I know that there’s a lot of history of orange people oppressing green people but I feel that greenists hating orange people is hypocritical and antithetical to the belief system, but any time anyone says it’s not cool everyone jumps in going “just like an orange, saying ‘that’s not like me!’”. That stuff is even being used by orangites as a recruitment tool for young oranges, saying “see? They hate you!”. We greenists need to stop it but it’s so cathartic to some green people who have felt so oppressed by the orangites that they refuse to.

Greenists have the right idea, and I’m not going to stop being one, but seeing the same hate from my own side makes it hard.

I once caught a goblin on camera stealing my socks and yelled at it and this was the exact face and pose it gave me

They deserve the way they mate.

FUCK

I’m not accepting it, but what I am accepting is that it’s going to take changes in phases to work. We’re going to have to do local voting reform, make ranked choice the standard, push for third party candidates, get rid of gerrymandering, etc.

I’m also accepting the facts of how things were, and are now, before those reforms. Those changes we need to make to fix this haven’t been implemented yet. They certainly didn’t exist in the last election.

Would it have been rad if everyone voted third party last election out of nowhere? Yeah. Might’ve even worked if there was a way to get everyone on board for that.

But we don’t live in the might’ve world, we live in the world of what is.

So yeah, until the system is fixed, it sucks, but the Democrats are what we have to work with to fight the Republicans. I don’t like it, but they are the ones who have that leverage, much more than the green party or whatever.

Nah, see, I’m being a gadfly. I’m seeing the problems that you’re blind to and pointing them out, for the sake of the movement. Problems like “you’re being a huge asshole and making everyone look bad”
