    How can you spend 20 minutes on early voting? Do you have to wait for them to layout and print your ballot first?

    3 years ago: wow. Crime is a social construct, and maybe it’s not OK to make fun of someone for having the entire machine come down on them Now: I’d rather choose a hammer than a nail

        I was actually thinking about this with like the terminally online reddit dorks that act like it’s “the most important election of our lives”. It only seems to be like that online but no one seems to care that the grass touchers are still gonna vote regardless. I could vote as hard as possible for Harris but I’m in motherfucking Texas. It’s going to Trump. I should be allowed to throw away my vote as a treat. Sorry the nerds that wanna call our system a “democracy” wanna make themselves mad about it.

          i live in georgia where my “vote matters” but whether it’s trump or kamala it’s still gonna be more descent into fascism- kamala wasn’t gonna stop or slow that just like brandon’s worthless old bitch ass hasn’t. still gonna be no healthcare, no education, no nothing for normal ass working people like myself. just go do your job so the taxes you pay can be sent to israel so we can genocide all the palestinians and turn their homes into resorts for rich people. no duty to your constituents but these pieces of shit say if america crumbles the one thing that’ll remain is its support for israel. fuck them, resurrect that dude who took a shot at trump and teach him better aim. fuck amerikkka.

            You nailed it. I don’t know why people are just ok with US citizens suffering while we spend trillions on the war machine that is used to kill brown kids in the middle east, but the amount of people that are ok with it kind of sickens me.

      Someone dug up an old tweet from around the 2020 primaries where she was bragging about prosecuting sex criminals like Donald Trump.

      No way she can use that now considering it could be directed at Democrats too, including one former and one current president.

      As a convicted drug felon whose local DA went on to become a corrupt governor, I reel at the “felon” pejorative that libs now seem to relish in. You can have a discussion with them about the PIC, the doubling of the prison population over a 2 decade period, and all sort of other stuff and they will nod along and even agree and then turn around and still assume all felons are bad and we need to support our cops. It’s the same shit with “terrorist” for those who lived through the Bush era and saw the term cynically deployed as cover for wars which saw a million people murdered and an entire region sent into disarray reflexively respond credulously whenever the term is used to justify a new genocidal campaign.

      *Ha! I used the word “corrupt”, another loaded term that is often weaponized in the same manner. Really said governor was just doing standard governor stuff that most all politicians do in bourgeois democracy.

        i-think-that the so-called war on drugs is a conscription program to collect prison labor that are conveniently stripped of human rights and also made into social pariahs to maintain that status quo.
