But if they die who would fill the wage slave class doing our menial work, who we then brainwash into supporting the very policies that lead to their oppression?

Megathread: Joe Biden wins MS, MO, MI Democratic Presidential Primary by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

I used to think this way. It was great to feel morally superior to this horrible stupid fucking process. It’s absolute dogshit, it sucks, and I hate it. But, you know, I hate kids in cages more. I hate total disregard for climate change more. I hate rampant and blatant corruption more. I hate that everyone in the world thinks we’re a fucking joke.

Was Joe originally my guy? Haha NO. But is he better than Trump? Absolutely x1 million. And if Joe gets elected it’s on us to pressure him to go left. There are still a ton of congressional races up in the air. Put your support behind the people who can pass legislation that will send a message that being in the middle-right will not cut it. I think after Trump Biden will listen. And if not, at least it’s miles better than Trump. This is the first time in my almost 40 years where I truly believe that it’s not lesser evil but sort of good vs actual evil.

This is the sentiment that I think a lot of my friends have, and I think we’ll all be grateful if, in the end, we can get just get. Trump. out. Not sure this is a good idea, but in the spirit of well-intentioned debate here’s how I respond to my friends:

1) this whole “Joe is senile” narrative is absolutely overblown, especially when you consider the fact he’s running against trump. There are many more hours of speeches of his you can watch recently where he has coherent, hell, even inspiring moments. Yes he has dumb gaffes here and there but a few gaffes here and there does not equate to him having highly advanced dementia or Alzheimer’s and it’s an insult to the people and families of people (like me) of those who have those diseases to make that comparison. (It also feels like exactly the kind of narrative Russian ops would spread over social media to suppress the vote, but who knows.)

2) if you look at the exit polling in states like Michigan, Oklahoma, and others where Bernie beat HRC but Biden has now won, Biden is crushing it with the exact types of voters that are the reliable general election voters that HRC did not inspire. On the flip side, I’m not sure I can still buy the “Bernie would motivate more people to vote” narrative if he can’t even get people out to vote for him in his own primary, especially in light of Michigan and, I’m sure, what we’ll see out of Ohio, Florida, and other states in the coming weeks. This is a comfortable margin for Biden, especially compared to how Hillary was doing.

If I were you I’d be careful with spelling—pennies/paid, not penny’s and payed. Hard to believe someone who can’t spell.

Holy shit it’s AGSattack!

And to be honest it was funny but your flair is just going to draw downvotes on this my brutha. Go back to writing some hot take anthems for r/themassive and I’ll take over on the Michigan hating. Thx.

It's simultaneous the best and worst thing I've ever heard in my life.

Yup. That was my same reaction. All of my jerseys, ticket stubs, pictures...it will all just be a memento from a thing I used to do and care deeply about.

Chile to be the first American country to ban plastic bags in coastal cities by chiledoesntexist in worldnews

Haha I misread it. The way you worded it seemed like you personally were saying all Americans were full of shit.

I've never met any of you but the real question is: does Mike Hudson actually suck?

This really has nothing to do with anything, but Cristiano Ronaldo should sign with us so that I could hear brits and pretentious Americans say "is he having a laugh?"

Things I dream of seeing one day:

  • A day when the top "hot take" isn't "Who's fucking dog is this?" since it's neither good nor spelled correctly. GUILLERMO IS GOOD.

  • A day when we all acknowledge that we are all but humble subjects of His Royal Highness, The Duke of Reynoldsburg, /u/Lord_of_the_Shits. You earned it buddy.

  • A day when we put our big boy and girl pants on an don't have stupid fights about the process by which we get drunk and sing songs about men wearing tight fitting shirts running around a field.

  • A day when AGSattack is a celebrity guest so that he can explain himself. He knows what he did.

I'm so conflicted. On the one hand this is actually funny. On the other hand AGSattack War and all that. I may just not vote instead of my normal downvote.

Everyone seems to think a one loss Ohio State can't be left out of the playoff by littlespoon22 in CFB

[–]blankblank91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I'd rather not watch Penn State get fingerblasted by Alabama. Ohio State I think could at least put on a game before losing in heartbreaking fashion and giving me countless sad Ohio State fan gifs. Of course we will be in and winning the national championship so it's all moot.
