The Onion nails how weird DeSantis is. He is socially awkward and a fascist.

DeSantis reminds me of those 2 aliens that ran for president on the Simpsons Halloween episode.

With out Ranked Choice Voting If you vote third party you only help the other party win. And you'd need a Congress that would support the third party president, otherwise they would just block everything he tried to do.

Republicans right now are funding RFK to get Democrats to vote 3rd part so they could win.

I don't understand which left-leaning voters he's pulling in. I despise the Democratic Party and should be an easy target to peel away from their numbers, but RFK Jr. is a joke. Propping up a progressive spoiler candidate would be far more effective on me.

It may be his name. Even RFK's family is telling people not to vote for him.

I also vote for progressives in the primaries and then vote for whoever wins the Democratic primary. I wish Biden wasn't running. He is too old. He did some good things while he has been president and save us from Trump and a Republican Christian Nation. But Biden should have had the wisdom to stop after one term. Now it looks like I will be voting for him for president again. We'll see what will happen in primaries.

So, um, what's the shelf for? (Is it for when you're so well hydrated, your pisses become so long and boring you need an elbow rest?)

[–] seahorse@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

To put your glass of beer (cause of piss) on.

Huh. The decadence of the New World.

Real talk, is the header photo a real photo or AI generated? Like…why is DeSantis having a photo-op at a urinal, is that a regular occurrence in the states?

I’m not trying to be cheeky, I’m actually confused about it lol

It's a satire site so I am almost positive it's highly edited.

Oh my god, I ate the onion.

I didn’t even realize what community this was, I just saw the thumbnail on all, my bad!

Who can blame you, really?
