    yeah but they’re bludgeoning us with it and claiming to be the good guys, when there are no good guys here (that would be the yellow line)

    so it needs pointing out. abd repetition, because fucking biden cultists are the most annoying shit I fucking swear.

      Let me give you a hypothetical. First of all “good guys” is entirely subjective, but since you’re unhappy with democrats and republicans let’s say any party on the left side of the right-left political spectrum are the “good guys”. Now, let’s imagine democrats are left/center-left party and republicans are a far-left party. Since all parties on the left are good guys your choices are now all good guys. But in the context of the system one party is still more of a good guy then the other, one is more left than the other.

      That means in the context of the system the good guys are designated by the options given within the system. When the options are corporate bootlickers vs batshit insane corporate bootlickers one of them is clearly better than the other. It doesn’t matter that in the wider picture both are bad because those are the options the system presents.

        okay but genocide is genocide. theres a moral event horizon issue here. and on the other side, everyone needs to die, and arguing how badly they need to die is pointless. the harm is inexcusable, and I will not legitimize it.

        me being killed is me being killed-the biden government won’t stop it, and if he’s in power; his supporters will not step in to help; they’ll beg daddy-daddy doesn’t care, and if he did all he’d do is send cops, who will already be there hooded and ready if he’s not, maybe we’ll get resistance libs, and they at least won’t snich if they find me in their attic.

        and the climate apocalypse; they both stand in the way. I guess biden is less in the way? dead is still dead. trumps a little faster, but I like my gallows humor, so it about breaks even in my book.

        and then theres the fact of legitimizing it. I live in California; my vote does not count for decision making. it will bestatistically fucked into oblivion. I don’t want to look like I legitimized a system that does that, that enforces abortion bans anf private insurance and illegal plants and all the other shit that upwards of 60% of Americans, a statistically shocking majority would rather it not, then calls it democracy. I don’t want things nobody wanted and nobody voted for shoved down my throat and told its my voice, and if you want me to participate in that, you’d better be offering something I fucking want.
