      omg if you rearrange the letters it spells “BEWITCHERS” and “ML”. And we all know “ML” can only stand for one of two things:

      • machine learning, as in the robots are taking over and ruining society, or
      • :3 mlem :P

    This is why it’s so frustrating to see people saying they won’t vote because Biden is old (yes) and supports Israel (mostly true, albeit more complicated than that). Neat, but if Trump gets reelected, I’d be willing to bet that most of the conservative justices suddenly retire and we end up with a bunch of 35 year olds with lifetime appointments who can spend decades fucking stuff up. Hooray!

      We already did that. Every fucked up thing the courts are doing is a trump judge for life.

      • find judge’s name
      • search
      • see who appointed them

      It’s every time.

      It’s so dumb, I don’t understand why people just refuse to think about the long term consequences instead of just “i want to vote for the perfect person right now so if no one is perfect i won’t vote.” Like I know Biden is a terrible candidate, but like I’d personally like to still have a department of education by the next election???

          Voting isn’t the only way to have a democracy. Try to build an opposition outside parliament.

            Oh sure that is great plan.

            One man’s dissentor is another man’s dissident.

            You know what happens to dissidents?

            First, a list is created. Names are checked off, collated, cross referenced. Names become numbers.
            Numbers are collected or concentrated together. After the concentration, solutions are devised, mulled over. And then there is solution that is final.

            Fucking vote. Vote like your life depends on it. Because it fucking does.

        Yeah here we go. Wahh the liberals love genocide and wont let us have third parties. Whatever.

        We absolutely 100% without any doubt CAN vote ourselves out of this - that is exactly how it works. It doesn’t work in 5 minutes, it’s not a videogame, but c’mon. Help paddle already.

          What’s your plan B? What will you do, if Trump wins, or Biden wins and they’ll have a successful insurrection? How will you avoid the next Trump successor?

            What we’re supposed to do: conduct ourselves as best we can, organize and choose a candidate, and vote to elect them.

            If trump wins and they strangle democracy, of course, that’s a different and very horrible story.

            If Biden wins they will not have a successful insurrection. Any thoughts that they would are just gravy seal yammerings.
