News:

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

Help me convince my friends to vote for Biden.

It's not your job to convince them to vote for Biden. It's Biden's job to convince them to vote for Biden.

Right now, Biden needs to be afraid of losing. There are still seven months between now and the election that he has to start speaking the language of people who are interested in more than just a return to "normalcy" - the same normalcy that got us into this cave of blunders in the first place. The same normalcy that a GOP-led senate will delightfully continue to face-fuck (since they don't have to make progress in order to win because stagnation is part of their long game; as long as they're obstructing, they're as happy as a Cuban in cocaine). Biden's projected strategy is to open negotiations by asking for less than what everyone wants. There's still time to change that plan, but the only way he'll even think about pushing harder is if he's scared shitless that the powers behind him have kept us all so blitheringly, drooling stupid for so long that we might just be dumb enough to trigger the end of the Mexican standoff.

Speaking of negotiations, everyone already fucking blew it when they started out by saying they'd vote for literally anyone other than Trump. Way to show your hand at cards, you poor, deluded weasels. When you tell the DNC that you'll take anything they give you, that's exactly what you get.

Don't give me any shit about Biden getting more votes, either. People en masse are ridiculously easy to socially engineer, not to mention all the other circumstances around primaries that contribute towards him winding up as the default. When Sanders raises the amounts of money he did from non-corporate donors and fills out stadiums country-wide but Biden shows up and just Matt-Damons himself into the front, you know there's something seriously fucked about the whole process.

Stop trying to concede everything you want just because you're afraid of another four years of Orange Man or conservative judges packed dick-to-asshole in courts across the country. Nothing about either of those things is in any way permanent. Will they retard progress? Sure. Won't everything?

Right now, you're walking up to a prostitute and asking her if you can take her out to dinner. You're already paying for the sex; maybe you should start making her prove that she's the right whore for you.

You've been low key MAGA since you've been here.  What, 3 years or so?

Your comments will be taken under advisement1.

Biden isnt going to fix anything, but he's going to break less things than Trump and the government was never going to fix things, not even under Sanders.  That's up to the people.

The government IS the people.

Just not people like you and I.

If one of those health problems explodes, and I have no doubt it will, and the doctors say "oh, tranny freak" and decide I deserve to die, I'm gone forever.

If you ever find yourself in a time and place where doctors at a hospital say "oh, tranny freak" and decide you deserve to die, the world you live in has far bigger problems than electing Joe Biden can solve.

Then you would prefer to have people die to prove a point than to help people live by compromising your convictions.

This makes you a monster.

What the Fuck Mountain are you even talking about? Not a damn thing I said is anything close to this.

You missed my point entirely, which doesn't matter since I'm sure you don't give a shit what my point was.

And Cramulus wonders why I refrain from "participating".

Sounds like shoddy MAGA gaslighting and limp-dick grandstanding to me. I'm pretty sure Howl understands you perfectly, now. FUNNY thing is that he even spoke well of you a bit when I expressed what a fuckstick shitnozzle you were to him. You don't deserve the tacit acceptance you have had here. The only thing occasionally amusing about you is a stale comic that has in the past been amusing, but is ultimately just you being unable to let go of some memes used against you years ago.

What is it exactly that any of you think I'm actually saying?

I'm not sure why I'm bothering to say anything at all. This place is and always has been like a massive immune response system where if anything seems politically strange to the hivemind, everyone loses their shit and descends in full force upon the offending intruder - even when that person is not saying what it is you seem to think that they're saying.

YES... reach for the familiar memes to establish a sense of control for yourself. It's a GOOD thing you aren't actually playing chess. I don't know who TOOK your control from you or when, I'm not that big of a dick that I would pry like that into you, but... it's definitely left you predictable. I won't pick at your traumas, but they are there and you can't actually control shit, least of all yourself.

I got what you were saying, even if the others don't. Yes if the normalisation of that kind of awful behaviour reaches the point where doctors are willing to let a transgender person die, whomever is president doesnt matter a shite.
But what it does do is either slow the slippery slope or allow for the start of a gradual reverse of direction where some of the awful shit Trump has normalised can be gradually undone.

1. I get what he's saying, it's just dismissive and stupid, and he would rather take a low swipe at folks that actually like him somewhat than be confronted with his own shitty tactics. I am... unsympathetic.

2. Not sure you GET how far things are already as far as the literal thing under discussion, trans folks getting dead for being trans and needing medical care, Faust. It's ACTUALLY already well into "normalized" tacitly and now being EXPLICITLY sanctioned. There is not, and kinda never was, a nice gradual path back to be walked.

I guess the "appropriate response" you were looking for was among the lines of:

"Oh, thanks for the great insight! I'll go dig my own grave instead of wasting everyones time and attention! I for sure was blind to the fact that Biden was not gonna be the pathway to utopia! What a retard i was before you taught me about how the world works!"

WE KNOW, you're missing the point entirely.
