Exactly.

Condoms would be 99% effective if they could be made idiot-proof.

Same. I’ve always preferred to be in full control of my own contraception, mostly because I just don’t trust anyone else with something that consequential

It’s honestly a little weird that more saints aren’t literal children, given the predilections of Catholics and the fact that the world doesn’t give a crap about said predilections.

Get rich people to pay taxes.

L—O—L

The Democrats aren’t going to make any meaningful changes to tax policy. They’re wealthy too, you know.

Student loan forgiveness

I suppose his half measures are nice. It is a bummer that he’s not doing more considering he has the authority to act unilaterally, and has used it previously. But when you expect nothing, like I do, half measures seem better than they are.

Even so, Biden is a terrible president.

He’s done nothing meaningful about the cost of living crisis. Education and health care are still unaffordable for the working class and poor. This, more than anything else, is what’s going to get Trump reelected.

Roe is gone, and Dems’ response was to fundraise off of it and do nothing else. Idaho even got away with criminalizing abortion, which means 2/3 of the states will do the same in the next year.

Biden’s openly aiding fascist apartheid in Israel with our money. He’s also aiding homegrown fascism in America by helping to militarize cops even further.

Homelessness grew 12% last year alone. The cost of living crisis should be Biden’s main focus, but all he seems to care about is finding more money we don’t have in order to fund other countries’ wars.

And you are actively participating in your own oppression, knowingly voting for a candidate when you’ve seen for four straight decades that either ruling party is going to make your life demonstrably harder.

Do you like paying double for your groceries?

Do you like that your rent is skyrocketing?

Meanwhile they make hundreds of billions appear out of thin air for other countries’ wars.

Some of us don’t have the luxury of indulging in protest votes.

Who is this us you’re referring to?

Are you a billionaire? That’s the only group the Democrats are actually serving. The rest get pretty speeches during campaign time and broken promises after the election.

My vote doesn’t mean anything in a two-party system.

We’re getting fascists no matter who we elect.

FlashMobOfOne, 20 days ago

LOL

That was helpful. Thank you.

You throw away your vote by voting Democrat and Republican.

How badly do they have to fail before you stop doing so?

One of my favorite things about social media is how everyone is seemingly aghast at the egregious and corrupt results of capitalism, but every single election, you all insist to me that I have to vote for a capitalist as a moral imperative.

And it’s been accelerating since Reagan, but 99% of voters aren’t going to change. Ever.

FlashMobOfOne, 20 days ago

Yes.

You can vote Green.

FlashMobOfOne, 20 days ago

That’s what you’re doing when you vote Green.

FlashMobOfOne, 20 days ago

Most of what you ask for requires a Democrat majority so big that they can both pass new laws AND expand SCOTUS. You’re blaming them for things they have no power over.

No.

It requires you to stop voting for broken promises and excuses.

Trump would be worse on all metrics you mentioned.

And exactly the same as Biden in nearly all of them.

FlashMobOfOne, 20 days ago

What exactly are you expecting a Democratic vote to change?

If the Democrats did their job Trump wouldn’t even be on the ballot, so your faith seems misguided to me.

Vote Green instead.

One can only look at the kind of monumental carelessness and stupidity shown by Americans once and conclude that it’s best to stay prepared.

And I live in Missouri, the epicenter of the Delta variant, so I know people here are extra careless.

FlashMobOfOne, 17 days ago

USA unprepared for a pandemic, period. It’s why I’ve stayed stocked up on PPE.

My parents are 80 years old and their car died in April, so I had to loan them mine, basically permanently, because the alternative is that they have no income at all.

The country that the Democrats and Republicans have built would be a-okay with letting them starve to death.

FlashMobOfOne, 17 days ago

That is how it always goes.

Everyone kind of just ignores that runaway inflation is happening anyway and votes Democrat and Republican again.

It’s an unfortunate feature that all dogs must eventually ascend to godhood. May their passage across the rainbow bridge be a happy one.

FlashMobOfOne, 20 days ago

That’s a very happy thought. :)

Homelessness jumped 12% last year too.

In one year.

And everyone I know is going to sign up for another helping of Democrats and Republicans in the fall.

FlashMobOfOne, 17 days ago

The willful stupidity would be amazing if we hadn’t seen just this kind of nonsense throughout our species entire history.

FlashMobOfOne, 20 days ago

The cruelty is the point.

Make the doctors afraid to treat people and they won’t. They’re probably all still in debt from medical school, thus magnifying the risks of defying the state.
