    This post sucks. What’s his name? Any links to the writing you have issues with?

    This is just a picture of some guy.

    I don’t know the guy nor care about American politics so don’t take this comment as a support for either side, but reading the comment, I’m curious. Without the caption, would you still say the same things about his face ?

    Like if it said this guy was a Nobel prize winner instead, would your opinion of him be different?

    He has a very average face to me, nothing noteworthy. At best he looks like an awkward french teacher.

      You don’t understand. Looks don’t matter and body positivity is all the rage as long as the person in the picture is someone you like. Otherwise be as vicious as possible and call to violence like you are saying “good morning” to your neighbor.

    Vote suppression is a tried and true Republican tactic because low engagement and turnout favors Republicans. A nonvote is a vote for Trump. Biden needs to move aside, but I’d vote for anyone not Trump.

      This is why people voting for the Green party candidate (I’m not even going to bother looking up his name) piss me off so much. The core of the republican strategy is disenfranchisement and voting Green is literally self-disenfranchisement. You’re doing the Republicans’ work for them.

        A vote for Biden, who according to all polling and public sentiment will clearly lose to Trump in November, is throwing away your vote.

        Educate yourself to at least not mis-gender those who would better represent you, and it may be the first step towards our country recovering from the neoliberal mess we’re presently trapped within.

            So they came… and Jewish people learned to become the Nazis? Like, what is your point here? It is okay to be a Nazi so that we can stop the Nazis first?

              You cannot be so media illiterate.
              You think that fighting a Nazi makes you a Nazi? That’s the lesson you got from the poem? That is either a mind boggling amount of illiteracy, or, more likely, you’re a Nazi apologist.

              People who are in a position to stand up to evil and fail to do so bear some responsibility for the deeds of the evil.

              Never mind that this post is clearly hyperbolic, you’re clearly making bad-faith arguments in support of fascism. If you’re a fascist or not, you gotta take a good long look in the mirror, because that’s fucked up

                Maybe thinking it’s okay to murder someone and burn down a school for telling people not to vote is a very fascist position.

                I’m not American and have no dog in this fight but it’s fascinating to see it unfold and how blindly fanatical and willfully ignorant both sides can be.

                If a Rep punches a Dem they’ll justify it as self defense or something. If a Dem punches a Rep it’s “okay to punch a Nazi”. Even seeing how both sides interpreted the presidential debate was ridiculous. Reps ignoring all of Trump’s lies and inability to give a direct answer to a question and a lot of the more fanatical Dems willfully ignoring Biden’s obviously declining mental state.

                Reps caught up in a cult of personality and Dems willing to vote for anybody that isn’t Trump. It’s quite scary to see how easily each side can dehumanise the other while thinking they’re correct and morally superior.

                The way both sides pardon their own calls to violence can’t lead to anything good. If ‘the other’ said or did something you consider to be completely heinous and you’d justify it or praise it were the roles reversed then maybe introspection is in order.

                Of course violence is sometimes necessary but there seems to be growing bloodthirstiness from the extremes of the Left and the Right and I fear what might happen in November.

                I’m sure I’ll be downvoted to fuck but that’s just an apolitical outsider’s perspective.

                  You’re simply making more bad faith arguments. The post was clearly hyperbole, but using violence is probably a reasonable response to actual fascism.

                  You can’t “both sides” this. Both sides are evil, but one side is an existential threat to democracy. One side has demonstrated its not going to play by the rules and is fine breaking the norms that many checks and balances relied on.
                  On one side some voters are extreme. On the other side, some politicians are extreme.
                  One side has already tried to undermine democracy and actually met with some success and no repercussions.

                  It’s not the same, and to call it the same is done in bad faith.

            It still isn’t fascism. Advocating to murder people for not voting is more fascist than someone publishing an article suggesting to not vote.

              …and your point is?

              No one here appears to be advocating violence, just that dude looks like a bit like Hitler & is spouting off awful advice.

              Fucking vote folks, it’s the only response you have left.

                The post literally says:

                “Shove his ass in a locker and burn the entire campus containing said locker to the ground. (The campus is Hillsdale).”

                If you’re not advocating for murdering him, why would people be upvoting this response which says to murder him and burn the campus to the ground?

                These types of responses only promote Trump’s chances as it makes Democrats out to be domestic terrorists.

          The information that was re-released was already known. Anyone can file a court case. I hate Trump. Trump was never convicted and the cases were dropped. There is no victim coming forward right now to detail with evidence that Trump is a child molester. Biden also has accusations against him. During 2020 and 2016, many bad actors claimed Hillary and Biden molested them. Why did people not “believe” them just because they made an accusation?

          Trump has 34 felony convictions. Claiming that Epstein files proves something where there is no conviction or victim with evidence in the public does not help. It makes Democrats look like they are grasping at straws. There is already plenty of reasons to not vote for Trump. Conservatives have Ashley Biden’s diary which does state Biden took showers with his daughter indicating she found it inappropriate. Should we use that against Biden?
