I find it exceedingly hard to believe that a conservative will not vote for Trump when it really comes down to the day. I think there are plenty that will say they won't all the way up to that point though.

Already cited two, but if you think "mow the lawn" is about Hamas, you're already too far up the IDFs sphincter to likely care

Unbelievable that you can see all this carnage, deliberate use of non surgical engagement, calling Palestinians animals, calling leveling entire population centers "mowing the lawn", and think they are fighting Hamas.

They know exactly what they're doing, they'll tell you themselves even.

How many cringy fake-cute smarmy "Byes!" does it take to get to the center of an actual block? The world may never know...

Oh they can't make graphs or excel sheets either don't worry.

Yeah I know, that's what I said

Not even that, since it's not loaded with violence to the gills the way the other is.

What's the overlap of "people who blindly fire at perceived trespassers" and "people who are going to say 'ah, Maria, my Amazon deliveryperson'"?

What's the solve? The Republicans are always going to offer up a candidate with more hideous stances than whoever the Dems offer up. The Dems could run Trump himself and the GOP would manage to find someone worse, are you voting for Trump in that race because he's not Super Trump?

I'm empathetic to harm reduction and the associated stances but where does the slide to the right end if Liberal voters loyally motorboat the hooters of the "least bad evil"?

Can't vote our way out of this

Ladies and Gentlemen, the "party of law and order"

Don't bother he's just Tucker Carlson'ing. "Just asking questions" with a face that looks like a swirled dish rag

They tried that a bit ago with Ted Cruz and the "taking our gas stoves and hamburgers" but it didn't have much sticking power. It will come around in full strength eventually though.

Wish NPR had the guts to have a left wing bias. Between fund drives, hand wringing, pearl clutching, and some biographic segment on the death of an obscure vaudeville act reviewer, they're pressed for time to come up with anything else

But have you considered the pitched and complex conflict between [an advanced first world military] and [starving children]

It will continue to exist because it's useful for the ruling class.

Terms like "unskilled labor" help the media do their job, which is helping capital convince the masses that the "unskilled laborers" are speaking above their station when asking for a livible wage.

It's "burger flippers" for people who want to call themselves more politically literate. Language currently used to minimize and undermine.

It will definitely continue to exist, but acting like there aren't connotations here or that they aren't directly related to the "real problem of low wages" is wack

Are you really enough of an insane ghoul to be suggesting "The Invisible Hand of the Market" about dying of heatstroke?

And no one ignores the plight of rural folk as much as Republicans. Indeed they want to make it worse to gin up more discomfort. I'm from deep rural Alabama. To say my family votes against their own interests is a given, for the two choices, but they vote for the most extreme antithesis to their best interest every time because frankly, they're committed to the "invisible war against """other"""".

I agree they should escape, but I also am not going to extend them some bullshit about how they're "forgotten" or "ignored". They know exactly what they're doing. They are making their choices.

"chivalry" in many cases is perpetrated by people who absolutely despise the targets of their chivalry. Call it caping, call it centrism, call it civility, whatever modality strikes your fancy. MGT is a odious human being responsible for a ton of harm, I don't care if she gave her last fiver to trump and he wiped his ass with it, it should be mocked. (And she didn't, she's profited in numerous ways off the backs of the people, so no tears need shedding here)

Not gonna hear it from me, criticize away!

I think this particular thing is more like: is my somewhat well intentioned but misguided neighbor coming to my house complaining that I'm killing the earth with my one monthly Ziploc bag or is Exxon Mobile coming and telling me that

The first one is surely an eyeroll but the second one is a real circus act.

So, while criticizing Biden might catch you heat from some random Vote Blue No Matter Who types, it's real fuckin rich to hear it from as deep inside the machine as a Clinton
