Love to see it. Even my mom, who used to call herself a “proud democrat” since getting citizenship here, won’t be voting this election.

7% too many, but inshallah the Democrats lose for embracing genocide.

These Zionist fascists only one technique and it’s crybullyism

She tried to slap someone and start a fight while taking her own child to a demonstration full of people she considers monsters.

Who’s using human shields?

She’s lucky she didn’t go up against the IOF.

Last I checked that was dangerpus for peoples kidneys right?

Lmao get out of here

Have you considered consulting a lawyer to see what your legal obligations are? Trying to raise a kid you don’t want with someone you don’t even have a good relationship with is just a recipe for failure – it’ll be bad for the kid and bad for you. The least bad outcome, since it sounds like she’s unwilling to abort, may be for you to surrender your rights to the child and just pay child support but not be involved at all.

Fascists hate it when you treat them the way they treat their victims. There is poetic justice in doing unto them as they do unto others.

Obviously not. Voting for Genocide Joe is scabbing for genocide.

Yep. We in the west never even had a thorough lockdown and the capitalists acted like it was the end of the world. The Covid pandemic is still raging, killing people and leaving the survivors with debilitating Long Covid, but the capitalists just want to let it rip because actually addressing the pandemic requires too much change. Some of us will die, but that’s a price the overlords are willing to pay to keep themselves on top.

There’s no way they take bird flu seriously

Typical capitalist rag trying to trick us into thinking we won so we stop demanding better treatment while giving them what they want.

“Hybrid” isn’t really a win for workers. One of the biggest advantages of remote work right now is that it significantly decreases the risk of getting Covid and Long Covid. Work is a big transmission vector, especially now that liberals have killed mask mandates. Having to go on site 3 days a week means taking on a risk of bringing home a deadly or debilitating disease 3 days a week. This is how a coworker got multiple family members hospitalized with Covid over Christmas break this past winter.

For the most part if a job can be done hybrid, it can and should be done fully remote. Even if there’s a bit more friction or more logistics to work out to make the job remote, it should be remote, because people’s lives matter more than anything those companies can possibly get out of burning us up.

America is not a democracy

The American electoral system is rigged by corrupt parties such that a third party vote is a protest vote. Vote third party by all means – to vote for either the Democrats or Republicans would damn anyone’s soul by making them complicit in genocide! – but understand that the point is to send a message.

Which message do you want to send?

Green Party and Cornel West: Progressive, much better than the Democrats, but fundamentally still Liberal reformists who do not seek to fix the structural problems of neoliberalism.

PSL: Communism now.

I think the choice is clear. Vote PSL

Oh awesome! Yeah more options is handy.

Is there a problem with VeraCrypt?

Biden has also botched the pandemic by pretending it’s over. So many people are getting sick and having their quality of life wrecked by this policy. At least under Trump normal people were masking up and taking precautions.

Trump did horribly at the pandemic, but I think Biden did worse.

Thanks. Yeah, it’s frustration, I already used up more than a lifetime’s worth of patience on having compassion for racists. It got me nowhere good and I don’t feel I should have to put up with their shit anymore. I can’t anymore even when I try. At this point I’m just automatically hostile to them, but I still appreciate other people who can have the patience to try to rehabilitate them. You’re doing the Lord’s work reeducating them so the rest of us don’t have to deal with their shit.

My mom is Muslim and warned me not to be public about my apostasy in case some extremists went after me. But in all the years I’ve been an apostate, I’ve told plenty of Muslims and their attitude has always been very chill and accepting – “that’s between you and Allah”, “hope you find your way back but even if you don’t you’re clearly a good and principled person and inshallah that has to count for something. Allah is merciful after all!”, " it’s not my place to judge". No Muslim has ever given me shit for leaving the faith. In fact when I’ve told them about why (I simply can’t worship someone who refused to protect my family from AmeriKKKa’s systemic racism and hatred of Muslims) they’ve been sympathetic.

Whoever said that to you is full of shit, propagates racist Islamophobic lies, and should go die.

But again, at this point I find it impossible to judge who is the lesser evil. I think it’s a distinction without a difference. If I go by body count, Trump is the lesser of two evils because Biden has murdered so many people over his career.

This is the problem with listening to their rhetoric rather thsn looking st their acrions. Their rhetoric is a smokescreen; their actions reveal their true values.

“Vote blue no matter who” is a rationalization. You are correct that if they wanted to win no matter what, they’d pick a better candidate than one who is explicitly pro-genocide, has dementia, and has fucked the working class over for his entire career. They’d go with a Bernie style populist and run on his wildly popular platform.

Western white liberals are at their core extremely racist. They fear and hate bipoc people, Middle Easterners, and especially Muslims. So Biden’s genocide in Palestine is actually a positive for them – but many* have enough self awareness to know they can’t openly cheer for it without revealing how depraved they are. They don’t just want to beat Trump, they want to do so while maintaining the fascist, imperialist, capitalist project. Biden is their guy

• Thomas L Friedman who recently got an op-ed published in the New York Times likening Middle Easterners to wasps and calling for the entire region to be set on fire, is a notable exception
