did some epic wholeome adulting today and voted for one genocidal capitalist freak instead of the other genocidal capitalist freak. updoots to the left!!!
The very first thing I learned about Kamala was that she's a prosecutor, and I immediately told my wife I'm not voting for a ticket with a prosecutor on it. I guess I'm a little different than these nerds.
She's an especially ghoulish prosecutor, too. It's one thing to be an idealist and not realize how you contribute to an oppressive system. It's "What the fuck" -tier when you send a disabled person to death row and his last words were to ask if they could go get ice cream after his execution.
And "a felon" should never become President? Wot? Like Presidents don't commit crimes, that people aren't convicted unjustly, and that people become rehabilitated. This election has been really telling...
As a convicted drug felon whose local DA went on to become a corrupt governor, I reel at the "felon" pejorative that libs now seem to relish in. You can have a discussion with them about the PIC, the doubling of the prison population over a 2 decade period, and all sort of other stuff and they will nod along and even agree and then turn around and still assume all felons are bad and we need to support our cops. It's the same shit with "terrorist" for those who lived through the Bush era and saw the term cynically deployed as cover for wars which saw a million people murdered and an entire region sent into disarray reflexively respond credulously whenever the term is used to justify a new genocidal campaign.
*Ha! I used the word "corrupt", another loaded term that is often weaponized in the same manner. Really said governor was just doing standard governor stuff that most all politicians do in bourgeois democracy.
the so-called war on drugs is a conscription program to collect prison labor that are conveniently stripped of human rights and also made into social pariahs to maintain that status quo.
I was actually thinking about this with like the terminally online reddit dorks that act like it's "the most important election of our lives". It only seems to be like that online but no one seems to care that the grass touchers are still gonna vote regardless. I could vote as hard as possible for Harris but I'm in motherfucking Texas. It's going to Trump. I should be allowed to throw away my vote as a treat. Sorry the nerds that wanna call our system a "democracy" wanna make themselves mad about it.
3 years ago: wow. Crime is a social construct, and maybe it's not OK to make fun of someone for having the entire machine come down on them
Now: I'd rather choose a hammer than a nail
tbh yeah trump people do this too. if you look at trump spaces instead of lib spaces its the same shit except instead of “did a democracy” trump morons probably say some shit like “did a MAGA”
"Grown-ass adult (usually man)" also pisses me off, especially when used as a peacocking attempt against supposedly not "grown-ass" adults. It instantly sounds tryhard to me.
perpetual infantilisation by boomers coupled with early exposure to unregulated internet damaged us.
Leave us alone, bagging out generational groups for silly and harmless quirks is cringe. Making fun of millenial slang is just as dorky as millenials mocking gen z haircuts as if we didn't do skinny jeans.
Early voting, majority white Republican county in Georgia (most gerrymandered, most corrupt election committee in the country). Try that in inner city Atlanta though
i got no problem with that, thats their business. any american voting for kdolf hitler who thinks they’re doing some valiant strike against fascism is being electorally/materially cucked anyway
