being fair, this election cycle has made it genuinely hard to tell at a glance.

If I had a nickel for every time I went this past year after reading a headline and then realizing it isn’t the onion, I’d be a very rich man.

every time I learn something new about Ohio, I like it just a little bit less, and I already fucking hate Ohio.

it’s like a garden path sentence written by an eldritch horror

found the tankie

Not much different from the far left

Careful, reminding the tankies about the horseshoe upsets them, and there are a lot of tankies on Lemmy.

I dunno, I had a lot of respect for McCain while he was still kicking. I might not have agreed with his politics but he was never malicious, unlike the majority of Republicans nowadays.

Like that.

join the club.

Wait for the debate on September 10th. Up to then, it’s anybody’s game. I’m willing to bet that debate is the deciding factor in who wins the election.

More than that, as fucking tepid a choice as Kamala Harris is to me, I have almost no doubt in my mind she can kick Donald’s ass at a debate. She is an older, half-african-american-half-asian-american woman – yeah, my money says she can both out-sass and out-maneuver him. That’s gonna be a show worth watching (and the entire country will be) so be ready for September 10th. We gon’ see some shit.

now, what I wonder is: what stops you from bringing out a driveway to within a foot of the road and then just letting people drive over a foot of grass?

I can only see this being stopped by a particularly high curb, and it technically doesn’t connect to the roadway.

Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found

It is if you do not possess a large stick inserted into your rectum.

It’s $100 on Amazon. No idea where you’re getting $3000 from.

if you mean their anti-theft protection offer, that means they’ll cover a bike of up to $3000 value if it gets stolen while locked with it.

This is the lock I use on my e-bike, and it’s even recommended by LockPickingLawyer. Hasn’t been stolen yet.

So much room for activities!

If you look really hard and read carefully, you’ll see I also said “the second amendment”, which is popularly known worldwide as part of, specifically, the United States Constitution. If you squint, you can also see I mentioned “MAGA chuds” – I don’t think Donald Trump is running a presidential campaign outside of the US. Thereby indicating I was, in fact, specifically talking about everybody in the US, at least if you have two brain cells to rub together. It’s okay, I won’t hold it against you if you don’t.

It’s not like they’ve got guns either.

yes I’m sure the fascists will abide by the legal system they’re… simultaneously working to dismantle or otherwise work around in order to destroy democracy. Yes. Definitely.

Even if we did, what would people do? Start randomly shooting at people who we think are fascists?

all that is needed for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing.

I don’t think I said everybody in the world, but that’s okay, I forgive your stupidity

I guess if you’re in one of the countries that banned guns for civilians you could write the fascists a strongly worded letter. I’m sure that will help.

but I was moreso referring to the state of things in the US where the left is seemingly paralyzed between “we have to get rid of all the guns! think of the children! won’t somebody think of the children!” and “fascists are taking over, what the fuck do we do!?”

Remember, the second amendment is for everybody, not just MAGA chuds. :)
