Throughout its venerable 268-year reign, The Onion has always made it a top priority to endorse the correct presidential candidates. From George Washington to Richard Nixon to Donald Trump, this institution’s highly respected editorial board has had its finger on the pulse, and has accurately backed the winner of every single national election in this country’s long […]

      Just so everybody knows what kind of fucking liberal is this brain dead this guy regularly complains that lgbtq and trans people are bad because if you say bad things about them people get mad at you.

        I’m not liberal, I am a conservative Republican, and I don’t necessarily say that the LGBTQ are bad, I say that the fact that they are making CHILDREN trans is bad, its VERY bad, kids as young as three years of age are making this permanent decision after being influenced to by their parents, they aren’t old enough to make this decision, let alone comprehend the ramifications of this decision

        You weren’t kidding. This guy is one of those “I used to support gay rights but then they said I couldn’t use slurs anymore so now that’s why I’m a conservative.”

          I like the one where he said if you “criticize” a straight person only the straight person get mad at you but if you “criticize” a gay person everybody gets mad at you.

          I warmly invite the guy to go anywhere other than here on the internet and criticize somebody FOR being straight, like I guarantee he does to gay people, and watch people get incredibly not mad that you’re criticizing straight people for being straight.

      Never heard of the Onion before?

      Edit. Oh Jesus, I looked at their comments. Insane nut job mascot.

      No, but you sound like you might be. A Trump supporter blatantly incapable of absorbing the information right in front of him. Typical.

        I am a Trump supporter, and no I am not incapable of absorbing the information in front of me, you saying typical is stereotyping, arent you lefties supposed to discourage that in your magical crusade to be all inclusive? Fucking pansy

    But The Onion and its six-member editorial board do not listen to outsiders. Nor do we listen to data, facts, polls, the U.S. government, or the widely panned Geneva Conventions.

    I love it.

    I’m not even American but I’ve already voted for Joe Biden several times. Just wrote the name down on pieces of paper and mailed them off. Adressed them to Joe Biden too, so that shit counts double. Put some extra stamps on them, and that’s exponential growth in the number of times I voted for him. I’m practically a swing state of my own, the way I’m swinging my massive votes around.

            I’m using Voyager iOS, but checked this out from a browser.

            Looks like this method:

            >! spoiler !<

            doesn’t work on our (yours & my) instance, nor Midwest Social:

            Interesting that Join-Lemmy.org advocates for the format I previously showed in a code block:

            yet your client supports the “greater than exclamation point” method. It makes me wonder whether your client should support it.

            (Lots of folks like that method though per Lemmy GitHub!)

            Which client you using? I’ll share this comment with them.

              That was the Reddit spoiler tag, so I’m guessing they’re using one of the ex-reddit clients that pivoted to Lemmy during the great migration.

              Either Sync, Boost, Eternity, or… the other one I couldn’t remember the name of.

    I’m a Republican who Does Her Own Research and I TOLD you Libtards that Biden was still in the Race! The whole Kamala thing was a SHAM! HOW can they Endorse Biden if he isn’t running STUPIDS!

    I’m glad Americans are finally waking up. Biden may not be perfect, but he is the only candidate who can beat Trump. I’ll be doing my part by voting for him as many times as possible this November!

    Lest readers doubt the value of our endorsement, we ask them to remember 2016, when voter complacency almost put Hillary Clinton in the White House before The Onion stepped in.

    We really dodged a bullet on that one! (/j)

      The Onion wanted to play on hard mode. How do you write satire when that shit head was in the White House?
