Way I look at it, Biden’s still the racist arch-settler who drafted and signed the legislation to pipeline my community to prison for the last thirty years. I have watched literally all of my uncles catch mandatory minimums that saw them carcerally enslaved for anywhere from 5 to 15 years at a time thanks to that blue-blooded motherfucker’s Crime Bill. Why the actual fuck would I ever vote for that man?
Never mind the fact that the motherfucker still owes me $600, never mind the strike-breaking, never mind the insistence on bloating police departments with military surplus, never mind him and his whole party’s hawkishness-- why would I EVER vote for the man who’s legislature destroyed my family?
I can’t even imagine how that must feel. It made my blood boil when a lib friend told me I had to vote for him, and that was just because I have relatives who went through bankruptcy after his awful 2005 bankruptcy bill, so having relatives’ lives completely wrecked like that must make it so much fucking worse.
Forget ‘Jokerfication’, these liberals make me use every iota of self-control I have to not go full Killmonger some days.
You obviously ain’t Black, man. /s
Oh I’ve had crackers try to tell me that twice this past month!
I have never voted for a president my entire life and I never will. I don’t care if some dipshit lower 48er tries to browbeat me over my choice of wanting to not waste my time performing political kabuki theater when I literally live in a state where the president is already chosen while I’d still be standing in line trying to figure out which local clown running for school board isn’t a qanon crank trying to make ‘a patriots history of the united states’ mandatory curriculum.
“Lower 48-er? Excuse me buddy but Obama is Hawaiian😡”
I think as an Alaskan you should refer to people from other states as the lower 49ers just to make people that are half listening to think you are talking about American Football.
Nope. We’re the 49th state in the union, the only state north of the 49th parallel, and we exist isolated from the contiguous united states which is composed of 48 states.
Also Hawaii is the 50th state and an island chain also separate from mainland USA so they get to remain free of the title of “lower 48er” even though they’re technically below us.
So all in all, not even football can shake Alaskan pride in calling lower 48ers lower 48ers

How dare someone not votetm for a rapist segregationist.
I’m still weighing how continuing to vote for (2020 was the first time I’ve voted) liberals are just pushing back possible material conditions for more people to feel the need for class consciousness.
Would I personally like for neoliberalism somehow to be regulated to the point where capital interests are restricted and the people of the world aren’t pitted against each other for oppression and have social safety nets? Obviously not ideal, but for a number of years I thought that was the hope. I thought I was voting for more “rights” and more “equity”.
In the dichotomous US politics it certainly seems that only one side makes any sense to me. That’s with having to take all of the neolib propaganda fed to us at face value and even believe that the world was as it was presented to us. Invading other countries was for “spreading democracy” and “pushing for human rights” or “fighting terror”. The companies and corporations “helped” and “advanced society” and that’s just the way it is and that’s the best idea.
As I learn more I realize that neither of the “two sides of the coin” have or will ever make changes that support the majority of people in the country unless absolutely forced, and then only in the most miniscule way possible. MUCH LESS help the majority of people in the world.
Today I’d LOVE to see major sea changes and revolution. But no sort of revolution happens from one person’s actions and without the vanguard and community and many many people.
Personally, I’m planning on voting for West with the full knowledge that nothing will come of it other than raising some eyebrows and people questioning how he got any votes. But I’m also trying to get more involved and find community, because that’s the only way I see making progress.
“not voting biden: straight f.ucking trash”
“voting biden: gay f.ucking trash?”
where’s the option of not being f.ucking trash?
