I think they might actually try to do a body double if he dies or when he becomes even more senile. Unironically. Like they're so far gone, they're so deranged I can't think they haven't already floated the idea

Is it a 0 or 1 if you've met him?

Pretending like not voting means you're not doing anything is a logical fallacy. People aren't arguing for nothing, they're arguing that voting, at best, does nothing.

"You have to participate" sure, but only in a very specific way. You can't vote for anyone other than these two candidates or your vote is "wasted" never mind the fact that both are creating the fascist hellscape you're fearmongering about. The idea that voting for Biden does anything than further entrench a broken system is beyond flawed, it's downright ridiculous! The "lesser evil" argument has been made since 1972 and all it has brought us is the devolution of so many civil rights political activists have fought for. We're now at a point where the lesser evil is a more competent genocide.

Furthermore it's ironic to try to use identity politics to argue for Biden, when it is only straight white men who might be able to consider themselves safe under his regime.

Voting for either of those two goons does nothing but legitimise their rule and confirm them in the fact that their people don't care about genocide or deteriorating conditions as long as it's their team in power.

If democracy was truly at stake, if the republicans were truly as dangerous (and treasonous) as you suggest, then Joe Biden should use his newly created presidential superpowers to have them all killed or at the very least imprisoned. The fact that he doesn't, the fact that he does absolutely nothing to stop the people you're scaremongering about (besides beg for your vote) means that he either doesn't give a shit or that he knows it's not as dire as people in his camp make it out to be.

Voting for Biden encourages genocide. Voting for a third party encourages opposition, not voting means you haven't wasted an afternoon. Striking or sabotaging stops arms shipments going to Israel, as has already happened many times. We are however not in a discussion of what constitutes effective direct action, we're in a discussion of why voting for Biden isn't good.

My doc proscribed me too much Addy so I gave some to my friends (it was starting to pile up, I had a literal box full). We had a blast going out clubbing, I felt like I was herding cats. Except for one... One of my friends was just becoming extremely normal and geared down and they couldn't understand why. Fun way to learn you have ADHD

Skipping the SW discussion, but what's wrong with two concenting adults snorting Adderall off each other? It's how me and my partner take our ADHD meds.

Seriously though, how is "being senile" better than doing adderall off another person's body, when it comes to discussions of "fit for the office of president"? The adderall lasts for a short while, senility is forever.

That's just a lot of pictures with accompanying audio smuglord

And no, posting a picture of me with Hillary Clinton isn't an argument

Wasn't that what best of hexbear was for?

Seems we're at an impasse of "yu-huh" and "nu-uh", so I'll give some leeway.
Sorry you're right! Voting can change things for the worse.
Anyway this is from 1972
Voting for "the lesser evil" has now brought us to a place where there isn't one. It has never worked.
We didn't win any of the labour rights we have by voting. We didn't abolish slavery by voting. We didn't get civil rights by voting. We didnt even get the right to vote by voting!

"They're equally important!" I say as something only happens because of grassroots leftist direct action.
I think there might be lead in her makeup

And it's also not gonna change by voting

I don't know any "vote blue" people who do this kind of stuff. If they do anything it's show up for one large protest, co-opt it, and then shame people for fighting back against the inevitable police violence.

 

I always ending up siding with Joshua Graham. Mainly because it seems like the other guy (david?) is just doing a really basic "noble savage / white saviour" routine. Like his "solution" is to just pack up and leave in order for the people to preserve some inherent quality of "innocence" he thinks they possess. He would rather have them hounded for the rest of their existence, than do something that challenges his perception of them.

On the other hand Joshua Graham is a mormon

 
 

Gonna rig the election by not voting for Trump 10.000.000 times, thus, somehow, giving Biden 10.000.000 votes. Any advice on which states would be best not to vote for a candidate?

 

And I was getting so hopeful after Mitsoda got canned and the game got pushed back indefinetely. Auteur theory is a fuck, Mitsoda has basic gen-x'er humor and I'm glad he's gone. Why the fuck did they decide to pivot into this Fallout 4 type dreg though? The main character is going to have an established backstory and everything.

Why make an RPG if you don't want players to role play?

 

Yeah probably.
Anyway this is a petition to get c/conspiracy
