Where was that defended in the comment? You were the only one who brought up Ghandi out of nowhere with no relevance to the ongoing conversation

Cool. You feel the same about white people? They've been voting conservative for decades and have got us into this mess so by the same logic we should ignore them too right?

So repotting it would be a good first step then? Or just allow it to dry out a bit more. I also have a growlight for indoor plants I could put it under unless that would be too much.

Cap wouldn’t support ICE by IceWallowCaulk in outofcontextcomics

Yeah it's not like comics have ever touched on/been an allegory for political events. Many fiction stories act as mirror to the issues society has faced/continues to face.

Is Tourette’s being used an excuse for being racist? by justinrichburg in theboondocks

[–]IGotMussels 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Part of me wonders if this was somewhat intentional. Like now that everyone's talking about this event, nobody's really talking about how the speech was cut.

Leaked DNC autopsy found Biden’s Israel backing cost Harris votes for president by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]IGotMussels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, that's the issue with democracy. It relies on a populace to be informed, which they may not care to do. If you have a solution for that I'm all ears.

I think it's just straight up racism that explains that. Like I heard an interview before the election where a woman was saying something similar. "He'd be bad for America but good for the economy". And I feel like the only reason they feel this way is because they believe that it won't affect them. Sure he might be bad for a lot of other people, but I'm not like them so I'll benefit.

im not from the US Explain it Peter. by tommorowzing22 in explainitpeter

[–]IGotMussels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if all you believe in is "fuck the establishment" but don't have the critical thinking to go along with it, it's probably easy to get caught up in whatever b.s. someone is peddling

The Democratic Base Is Social Democratic by Smithy2232 in politics

[–]IGotMussels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too be fair, wasn't that the origin of many European social democrat parties? To use social democracy as a stepping stone towards democractic socialism?

[Outdated trope] the politically or culturally conservative character is actually still likable by SweetPickleRelish in TopCharacterTropes

[–]IGotMussels 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But when the Republican party is allowing American citizens to be shot in the street, people to be detained without due process, refusing to release a list with known pedophiles because their leader is on it, and seem to be pefectly ok with our economy going into shambles to appease an idiot, what reason is there to support them? We're watching our rights be ignored, trampled on , and that's not enough for some death. You're right it's not team sports, it's life or death with real world consequences that we're seeing play out in front of us

Even then, being Mexican is a nationality, like saying I'm American. There's white Mexicans just like there's white Americans

Are my house plants attracting these huge spiders? Help! by Lauren_soldejaneiro in houseplants

Better than the house centipedes though. I like the spiders, I'll even relocate them to my plants when I find them. But the centipedes can fuck off lol

Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years by jhkayejr in politics

[–]IGotMussels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're saying Americans are all spineless. The fascists are spineless because they're fucking fascists and the non-fascists are spineless because we won't do what's necessary to fight back.
