How about we stop deporting people don't like, whether they are white, brown, purple, or Jake Paul?

"Look, I know that these people voted for you and yours to suffer, but you just need to get over that so that we can come together and be a happy family again. You not getting over that one little tiny bump in our past just alienates everyone that wanted to see your life destroyed. It was a tiny blip from our past. Just get over it already." ~You....for the most part.

I bring it up here on Lemmy, because it was primarily the ML leftists (on Lemmy) that pushed the idea to skip voting as a way to protest Kamala as a choice....that it was better to permit an authoritarian to take office than allow a centrist democrat. I would 100% would have liked someone like Bernie taking office, but when I'm presented with 'kick in the nuts' vs being castrated as my only options, I'll take the 'kick in the nuts' everytime.

In an ideal world, I would pick a progressive 10/10 times.

However we don't live in an ideal world. If your options are warm, stale beer or a steaming cup of shit, I'm going to pick the better option, every time. I'll push for more ideal options the next go around, but I won't sink the ship and damn me and everyone to having to deal with shit the next 4 years because I didn't get what I want.

Who could have ever forseen this?

Trump: "I declare that we're having peace talks!"

Advisor: "Mr. President, that's not how it works. You can't just declare that two parties, that you're not a part of and evidently shown you have zero control over, are now having peace talks."

Trump: "...but I declared it."

Approximately 500,000 years ago, when someone made a tiny spear. They just didn't know it was an arrow at the time.

I mean what is an arrow, but a much smaller spear?

I just missed my flight. I was stressed and upset. This greentext.....holy shit. I'm in tears laughing. Thanks!

I tried playing it while unemployed. Did not click with me. At all. I just don't get it.

100% this. There's been resistance everywhere over this. Minnesota drove out a bunch of ICE agents from their neighborhoods, there's been major protests all over the US about it. Like... we're for sure doing it.
