In other words, this asshat thinks that 1-year-olds should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term.

Calling people fascists just because they are to the left of you does not make sense.

Correct. And I didn’t say that. I chose my words carefully and I meant them.

This is why I pointed out that you have not understood the meaning of what I said.

I still sincerely hope you learn how the US political system functions so that you can understand the outcome of your choices.

You’re assuming – incorrectly – a whole lot about me that I never said.

You also didn’t understand the meaning behind why I said you’ve chosen to support the fascists side.

I’m not here to start fights with internet strangers so I’m not going to poke you further. Let’s just both do our best to improve and educate ourselves. Good luck to you. I hope you can figure out what I meant.

Genocide Joe

Killary Clinton

I do not vote for the duopoly.

Spoken like a true MAGA believer, or at least such a useful idiot that the difference is indistinguishable.

You may not “vote for the duopoly” but you’ve clearly chosen to support the fascist side of it.

I sincerely hope you learn how the US political system works before the election so that you can understand what the outcome of your actions will be.

I would suggest to compare them both when they talk or when they are in the public.

It’s like you’ve never watched a video of Trump speaking. You could go to Youtube right now and do that, if you weren’t so busy bending over backwards to defend Trump.

You definitely win the most dishonest argument of the day award.

“He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.”

This one just pisses me off. It’s framed so dishonestly.

I can recall extremely specific things about when people I know died. What the weather was, what I was wearing, what video game I was playing when I heard the news, and so on. But I couldn’t necessarily pull the right year out of my brain without checking. Or necessarily even the date for some people.

I promise that Biden remembers the death of his son in whatever specific way is meaningful to him. It might not be “on this day/month/year.” It might be “on a Tuesday” or might be “a cold snowy day when I was baking bread.” I have no idea. But this just isn’t how memory works, and it’s hurtful, evil even, to print something that dishonest. It boils my blood to read such dishonest reporting.

The Big Mac set in Japan is ¥750 right now.

And Burger King is even cheaper.

It baffles my mind that people would pay $18 USD for that shit. I visited the US last year and while prices in general had definitely gone up since the last time I was there, there is absolutely no justification to pay $18 for McDonald’s. It’s crazy.

Crybaby fascist Republicans: “Cake shops shouldn’t have to do business with people they don’t like!!!”

Also crybaby fascist Republicans: “Disney should have to do business with me no matter what I say or do!!!”

I can’t wait to see Disney counter-sue these fuckers for this ridiculousness.

Non-wankers, in fact.

So you decided to make a pro-China anti-US argument by linking to a flat-earther meme?

You alright there?

Dems and Republicans are identical parties on economic policy (note I said economic, not all policies).

Patently untrue.

I mean, I get what you’re trying to say. That both parties serve the interests of the rich few over the majority. But it’s just false that they are identical parties on economic policy.

Isn’t this Castro the same guy who keeps suing to block Trump from getting on the ballot? He’s nothing but a clown doing this for attention. These aren’t serious lawsuits, and if anything they end up hurting the cause more than anything, by making a mockery of the situation and making it harder for legitimate complaints to get the attention they deserve.

Republicans gonna repub.

Yeah that jumped out at me too. What a privileged bunch of crap to spew.

Our brains are instead programmed to focus on our immediate needs.

Yes, we are “programmed” to buy things that we need to live, like food, shelter, and medicine. I’m pretty sure most people would save if they fucking could. You’d think that “a certified financial planner and expert in financial psychology and behavioral finance” could come up with something a bit better than another avocado-toast-like victim blaming.

The original point I made

The only point you’ve made is that you’re a bigot who is not interested in honest discussion. And you keep making it by repeating the same bullshit.

Grow a thicker skin for fucks sake you absolute child.

Says the guy whining about mods deleting his content.

I’ll hand it to you – you’ve put on a masterclass-worthy performance of a bigot having a breakdown because nobody takes him seriously. You’ve blamed me, you’ve blamed the mods, and you’ve blamed lemmy. The only person who hasn’t done anything wrong here is you.

When everyone in the world is giving you problems, it’s time to consider that maybe you’re the problem. And if the users and mods on lemmy are too harsh for you, then maybe you should go back to Truth Social or wherever the big-brained adults like yourself hang out.

No, man.

You came in here posting absolutely disgusting ableist slurs and spewing discriminatory bullshit that’s not true. Then after you get called out on it by everyone, you’ve start changing your tune, cherry picking specific circumstances that if that had been what you originally said, we’d have ended up in a different conversation. But instead we’re having this garbage conversation that you decided to start.

And as for “hey look, people used this word in the 60s all the time!” I’ll point you to every other slur, whether ableist, racist, sexist, or whatever. You know what? People used them all in the past with impunity. That doesn’t make it ok to use them today.

Instead of just Googling things that support your prejudice and confirm your existing biases, try searching for the counterarguments.

retarded is NOT a slur it is legitimately a medical term and you people are too sensitive

It’s actually not.

they cannot vote

They actually can.

You seem to have a serious problem with facts and with discrimination.

You’re spouting false bullshit, and you’re prejudiced.

You’re exactly the kind of person who should not be allowed to vote, but luckily for you being a stupid, wrong, bigoted asshole does not revoke your rights.

I think it’s a tragedy that we let people who are borderline retarded cast ballots at all.

You deserve to get lambasted for that. That’s a horrible thing to say.

The very core of democracy is the idea that individuals have the right to make choices in how they live their lives, and that the power to govern derives from the consent of the government. What you’re saying is that there’s an arbitrary line of intelligence below which you don’t accept someone’s ability to consent, and you deny their right to make choices about their lives.

I think that’s the tragedy here.

Thanks for taking the time to read it and for responding!

Shockingly, it takes more to revolutionize a country of 320 million people than casting a single protest vote for Jill Stein every 4 years.

The folks whining the most about Biden also seem to be the least civic-minded.
