If Elon said that about epstien that means he knew the entire time and chose not to say anything

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world -5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I literally never seen anybody say this outside of left wing people online complaining about people supposedly saying it like it's an epidemic.

If the only takeaway that the Democrats have from the 2024 election is that they lost because of racism and sexism then they're cooked.

Your life experiences don't necessarily reflect those of everyone else, FYI. I've seen and heard this or some other "women are too emotional/illogical/irrational/cryptic/ect too many times.

There are relatively recent studies/surveys, like this one (PDF) that suggest that a pretty significant portion of the population still feel women are too emotional to be in politics. 13% as of 2019 in that one.

While I'd think—or at least hope—that this is still going down overall, the rise in conservativism is definitely slowing the decline.

self-destruction

Anger isn't an emotion - it's alpha male psychology, or something? Honestly I lost track while laughing as two of the worst people on Earth started going at each other like a pair of angry cats.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 4 points 21 hours ago

I like you.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How is anger not an emotion?

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

That was sarcasm.

You know how parts of the manosohere like to claim men are the voice of reason incarnate and women shouldn't be trusted with any responsibility because they're too emotional?

Part of that facade is to act like anger isn't an emotion, because when they suppress "unmanly" emotions like sadness and fear, they tend to channel them into anger instead.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Well fuck, when you put it that way, I will not only upvote this, but change my previous down vote to an upvote as well, and then jerk off. That last part is unrelated to your explanation, just thought you'd like my schedule for the day, starting now.

Nominate a woman that people actually want to be president and then maybe we can talk.

AOC, for example, is filling football stadiums in red states.

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

To be fair, AoC wasn't eligible yet until last October.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I can't help but think that her beauty wouldn't steal some votes at the very least. I'm not trying to be sexist, but I acknowledge that sexist views exist. And even on a base human level, I'd rather look at AOC than trump. That's before looking into their "souls". So if someone were to be in my fucking face 24/7 on all networks, I'd much rather it be a beautiful woman with intelligence and morals than a toxin-covered toad man with no personality other than grabby little hands.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

To the credit of AOC, I was able to read all about her opinions and politics before I found out she was hot.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Right? Her opinions are a large part of what makes her sexy to me. I'm not trying to emphasize that, but I find empathy attractive.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago
[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh ya know... It's not her turn. There's like 6 people you've never heard of ahead of her.

Taking turns and democracy are directly opposed.

[–] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

And make sure they're not flagrantly carrying water for a genocidal ethnostate during the run up to the election. Preferably they will be sane and won't support that kind of thing at all. But this is America, we're currently being led by a dementia addled gameshow host. Sanity is sadly not a prerequisite for the job.

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Though she was also pressured successfully into largely adopting talking points from zionist apologia. "Right to defend itself" and all that.

[–] knexcar@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The problem with AOC though is her name sounds like an acronym, which makes her sound like an institution (like a super PAC). It’s a dumb thing to complain about but affects people’s first impressions if they aren’t obsessively researching candidates.

[–] pineapplepizza@lemm.ee 2 points 7 hours ago

AOC is literally an acronym. That is not her name.

So the reason why they're so against women, gay, drag, trans was that they want to be the only drama queens around?

[–] plyth@feddit.org 3 points 6 hours ago

Voter and voted are not the same.

It shows that the ones who are so against women, gay, drag, trans were easily distracted by superficial showmanship. It's actually sad that they can't perceive inner values.

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 49 points 1 day ago

You hit the nail on the head.

Projection is a requirement to be part of the GOP

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Earlier today my wife sent me a link to an article about the Trump/Elon drama and compared it to our teenager's high school bullshit level feuds.

Pretty much hit the nail on the head.

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

compared it to our teenager’s high school bullshit level feuds.

Pretty accurate, these losers never mentally matured past the age of 14.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 3 points 21 hours ago

It's just awful.

[–] jyl@sopuli.xyz 108 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They reached the most sensible, logical conclusion: deport musk and impeach trump.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 49 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Fuck it. Impeach Elon, and deport trump as well, while we're at it. Deport them both to Afghanistan, since that wouldn't be cruel or anything, right? Just sending people wherever you feel like it.

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 18 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Didn't one of Trump's grand or great grandparent come here illegally? Sounds like he needs to visit El Salvador

[–] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 day ago

His wife would be illegal by current ICE standards so her and her anchor baby Barron should be deported or sent to El Salvador.

“Imagine how much worse it would have been if it was women?”

(edit:)
— voters who choose GOP

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 25 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

~~Why do you choose to be a misogynistic dick when you could just shut your mouth?~~

Alright, Gotcha, and I appreciate your position

The written word is tricky, it loses nuance

I had to look up what TDS is and for others, it's short for "Trump Derangement Syndrome", an epithet MAGA put on people they don't like to insinuate that they fear Trump and his ilk.
