Don’t insult the intelligence of your voters by calling them double haters.
Don’t insult the intelligence of your voters by pretending that they won’t remember that you supported a genocidal maniac. No, the opposition being worse doesn’t excuse your depravity.
Don’t insult the intelligence of your voters by beating them with the stick of facism. They already understand what’s on the line. Debating online is different from voting.
*Does not apply to conservatives who worship Trump
I very much don’t think your average person understands the threat of fascism or what’s on the line, I feel like that belief comes from being in a left leaning echo chamber.
Obviously anecdotal but the vast majority of people I know are not great about consuming news, are not politically active, and don’t believe this election will have the deep consequences that I do.
Your first paragraph doesn’t really make sense as those on the left tend to be the most keenly aware of the dangers of fascism, since
a) First they came for LGBTQ+ people (which was left out of the poem since it was written by a conservative priest who was fine with persecution of THEM) and then they came for us
b) it’s always us that end up having to fight fascists alone since the liberals try to negotiate with them (or stay out of it at first and then join them like they did in Italy with Mussolini) and the others on the far right try to become their allies
Unless you consider Neoliberals left leaning. In which case you’re MORE wrong, but your logic is more consistent.
I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to say but what I meant is that I agree people on the left are most keenly aware of the dangers of fascism and if you’re surrounded by mostly them (aka in a left leaning echo chamber) then you’ll believe that most people are aware of the threat and take it seriously.
Unfortunately in my experience most people outside of the left (which is most people in this country) don’t share that awareness and therefore do not take the threat as seriously as they should

What’s even worse is every time someone mentions Firefox, some chucklefuck has to go hardcore negative on everything Mozilla does that is 1/10th as shitty as Google. Just shut your piehole if you don’t like the only somewhat private open source browser.
Let's be honest, Mozilla is only 1/10 as shitty as Google because they're 1/100 the size. If they had the resources, they'd be just as awful. They've already shown us how awful they can be at their current size, I can't imagine how bad they'd be if they were at Google's scale. Firing your employees and giving your execs bonuses is 100% a Google-like move, and the only reason they stopped at a few hundred employees was because they didn't have more to give.
Just because they make a good open source product doesn't make them immune from criticism.
You severely underestimate how shitty Google is. I highly doubt Mozilla would try to pull shit like Web Integrity or making their sites work worse on competitor browsers on purpose even if they were as large as Google. (Though, maybe to become as large as Google they would have to start doing this kind of shit so you might be right in some way.)
My biggest worry about Mozilla is that most of their revenue comes from Google. What’s stopping Google from demanding that Mozilla does certain things to Firefox, like forcing them to reduce the ad blocking capabilities, just like Chrome?
There are a lot of solutions to that problem. Fill out your vote when the other isn’t home, vote in person, leave your spouse, etc. Doesn’t seem like much of a problem to me
But really, I can see an abusive overbearing or just manipulative family member definitely doing this. It may not be statistically significant enough to impact an election, but there is no way to ensure there was no coercion.
Jesus Christ I’m not going down that rabbit hole. I realize the most dangerous thing an abused person can do is try to leave the relationship, but that’s only one of the several options I listed. I genuinely don’t understand why you’re criticizing mail in ballots; my best guess is that you’ve seen enough far right propaganda that you genuinely think giving more people more access to voting is a bad thing.
It’s not an agenda against mail-in ballots, it’s just a minor flaw I noticed with some friends that is relevant to the title, but for some reason I seem to have offended the gods of voting turnout by stating it in a public forum. Seriously, some people perk their ears for the littlest reason.
…But that’s ok…sometimes one can trigger the immune response in a community by saying something that could be misconstrued as contrarian.
the people who have a vested interest in misinforming you have more money than anyone who’s interested in forming their opinions based on facts and reality
but people are addicted to their fake likes on their fake enviable lives from their fake friends, so facebook will carry on doing whatever the fuck makes them the most money, regardless of the well-being of the common public good
Biden wasn’t just “too old,” he was showing clear signs of dementia… Trump just shows clear signs of narcissistic personality disorder and low IQ, but that’s not new.
Sure. Trump isn’t showing any sort of signs of dementia at all. Not any.
Last week, he appeared to refer to his wife Melania Trump as “Mercedes” during his CPAC remarks. The week before that he told Michigan voters to vote on the “very important date” of November 27, though the state’s primary election was on February 27.
“Nikki Haley, you know they, do you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything, deleted and destroyed all of it. All of it, because of lots of things like Nikki Haley is in charge of security. We offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, National Guard, whatever they want. They turned it down. They don’t want to talk about that. These are very dishonest people,” Trump said.
Lol… God that man is an imbecile… But that all just sounds like standard Trump word vomit. He certainly could be in cognitive decline, but how could anyone tell? He’s always been just so effing stupid.
Conservatives want GENITAL INSPECTORS at School to be SURE your Daughter or Son is using the Right bathroom but also people who have Vaginas ARENT Female so why have Genital Inspectors again?
The number of people on the right who think the left are the child molestors is at least 23%. They literally think we’re Santanist worshiping pedophiles. The number of which are projecting their own pedophilia tendencies is non-zero.
I’d wager at least half of the pizza gate pushers/believers are people that at least have CSAM on their computers, if not actively harming children in their circle.
no but see its fine when they do it. raping children isn’t pedophilia, only consenting adults having their bodies do things I don’t like is pedophilia.
The same type of right-winger as JKR and EM now are used to accuse the Williams sisters of being men. The same type of right-winger JKR and EM now are used to accuse Michelle Obama of being a man.
Strange how its mostly always women of colour who have these utterly baseless accusations leveled at them by right-wingers like JKR and EM. And when I say ‘strange’ I mean its not strange at all and is deliberate.
Used to? Some of them don’t know how to stop. Alex Jones jumped violently on this train, and h3, his crew, and Rodger Stone were up until Kamala became the forerunner claiming either Hillary or “big Mike” would replace Biden. Then would diverge into making more terrible jokes about Michelle Obama for a while before getting back to the point.
I’m still waiting for the tax lawyers to figure out that this will apply to the IRS as well. I’ve seen a couple rumblings about it on attorney websites already.
