You’ve tied yourself into all kinds of intricate knots. It’s simple. If you convince all the people who care about Gaza not to vote, things get worse for Gaza.
If only right wing people vote, only right wing policies will win.
If only right wing policies win, only right wing policies will be offered.
Downvoted for obvious truths. Must be a tankie instance.
It’s based on things the republicans have done and said.
To side with the even more genocidal Trump team? What kind of crazy is this? There isn’t a third option. There’s horrifically bad and there’s even worse and you’re siding with even worse. Come back to reality, Cowbee, it misses you.
The class is holding a vote on whether to put the “slap the ugly kid in the face” guy in charge or the “kick him in the nuts” guy in charge. You’re right to say the kid should be left alone. You’re right to say there should be a third option. You’re right that there should be no slapping. You’re right that the vote is offensive. But you can’t stop the vote and you can’t stop the violence. None of us can.
But fuck you if you can’t bring yourself to say that the kid ought not to be kicked in the nuts and fuck you if you tell all the nice kids not to vote and fuck you if the kid gets kicked in the nuts because of your idiot intervention that only ever talks about the slappers and gives the kick-in-the-nuts crowd a free pass.
Not voting just lets the “kick him in the nuts” guy win every time, which is why the “slap him in the face” guy came up with the slapping policy in the first place.
Lemmy.ml mods go through arguments removing the ones that are too critical of leftwing voter suppression.
You seem to think that letting the more genocidal republicans win would encourage the democrats to be less genocidal, which is bizarre.
They move right when they lose to compete with the republicans because the republicans win with a right wing strategy.
If the democrats won all the time, the republicans would have to move left just to regain power, and the Overton window would move left.
Not voting for the democrats in order to move them left is insanity. They will respond by copying the more successful electoral strategy.
I thought the benefits were exclusively sexy benefits. I think I should’ve said yes to Jamie all those years ago. Turns out I’m “drunk and horny enough” now, Jamie.
In other news, my friend got me to try carrot in his meat and potato pie, and I was all “keep that orange shit off my plate” but he was persistent and I caved and tried it for the first time in a decade (with a big chunk of meat) and I didn’t hate it at all.
I shouted at him when he fed me “some kind of exotic shredded fruit peel cake, try it, it’s really moist and tasty” and when I liked it admitted it was carrot cake. I shouted a lot, and he just laughed at me and offered me another stupid delicious slice, the git.
So I think the lesson we all learned is that when I think I can’t possibly be persuaded to try something and that I find the very idea unpleasant, I might well be wrong. Quite, quite wrong.
So, Jamie, wherever you are these days, sorry. If I had my time over I’d give it a try. The internet agrees with your point about who gives the best head, and I hope you’re happy somewhere with some lucky guy who is indeed having the Jamie “I wouldn’t just blow your dick, I would fucking blow your mind” treatment. Seems stupid in retrospect not to have said yes.
You did say “call me when you’re drunk and horny enough”. Well, today’s that day, but I don’t have your number and there’s no way I’m involving our parents in a decade-overdue “Does Jamie want to come round to play?”
I’m a man. I can make myself cum. Therefore, I must be gay.
Once I did it with my right hand, but I’m left handed, if you know what I mean. You really notice the dick in your hand when you do it that way, I can tell you. I learned some things about myself that day. Things I didn’t tell my homies, despite them all having dicks that I had very much not been thinking about, but which must inevitably have similar fundamental characteristics.
Are you saying that to experience a whole new type of sensational overload you would need to let go of your preconceived ideas and just let what’s gonna happen happen? Give in and give it up? It’s a lot to ask, a lot to ask.
Now my spine is all tingly and I don’t know what it means. I’m having some really weird feelings right now.
I read the title and became a lot confused. It doesn’t help that the US calls those weiners.
In the nineties it produced the cleanest .rtf output of all the editors. Word makes toxic .rtf that unnecessarily turns formatting off and on at every line break and elsewhere too.
If it weren’t for wordpad I wouldn’t have learned how to output .rtf from my code.
RIP WordPad.
Now I had a mischievous long chuckle on the bus and the old ladies near me are a bit worried about me!
Indeed, indeed.
If one is only bi on the Internet, is one really straight?
It might not always be a window into how other people live, but it is always a window into what other people think about.
Straight men have prostates too. If the other guy has great technique, who knows what could happen!
In other news, greentexts are sometimes a bit of a wild ride, and I maintain that the best ones always are.
Humanity. We’re a diverse bunch. We really really are.
A greentext. All the best greentexts are a wild ride. I admit it’s very much not always a window into how other people live, but it sure is a window into how other people think!
FWBs get paid?! Why wasn’t I told this?
You’re kidding yourself. The Democrats absolutely have to move right when left wing people refuse to vote, otherwise they lose.
Withdrawing your vote is literally withdrawing left wing influence on politics and anything else is just a complicated lie.
Letting the republicans win is just encouraging the democrats to be more like the republicans.
If you convince everyone who cares about Gaza not to vote, then the parties absolutely cannot afford to have a pro Gaza stance, because it’s electoral suicide - all the people who care about Gaza don’t vote and will the people who just hate on Muslims so.
