Not sure if Iâve ever watched a Tesla drive by and not said in my head, âwhy are they driving with their laptop open like that?â
My car was made in 2002 đ€

Yep, and he got results! Not gonna go for the ânever mindâI was being sillyâIâm just a car guy!â act
no, heâs dangerous & destructiveâheâs a threat to human life

Is he pretending he didnât get results? Are you?
He bought a smash+grab ticket with his election donation, & used it to go in and loot & destroy everything he thought he could use or feels threatened by. He got big results.
He chose this path. Heâs not a victim of people knowing what he did.

If you want a party in destructive lockstep, you need to be a Republicanâthatâs where you can find that vibe

Dems at this point is a coalition of many different sub parties & without the bootlicking marching orders of fascism bringing them together, not only will there be disagreement at times but rogue reps will make appearances
âorderâ isnât gonna happen, only dealing with each problem as it comes up

Maybe there is a proverb or something about the kind of man who would crush a kitten to death with his bare hands to prove his âstrength,â but would run and hide from a tiger thatâs eating his family. Trump is that kind of man.
Men who only attack the vulnerable are weirdo insecure cowards.

Elon is having to deal with people turning on him who previously somehow still thought he was admirable & does seem to have his tail between his legs a bit about making everyone embarrassed to drive a Tesla but he probably takes solace in imagining eventually using our looted data to control us all.

Hereâs an age+numbers thing that got me:
Biden wasnât getting that prostate blood test bc he aged out. At 70 they approximate youâll die of something else first within 10 years.
We shouldnât have reps within ânot worth testing bc they will die soonâ range. It is an unwise investment on our part!

Well Iâm not very active on here, was a Twitter girl đđ„Ž But anything you agree with is rooted in pattern recognition/data collection
But the same things about my brain that make me see/trust patterns, will have me unable to have a convo about age if itâs introduced it under a false premise

Me? Iâd sayâlook, there were additional R yes votes available. So this isnât about one dead guy. Itâs a bigger problem about gaining & holding ground. Which not only means winning seats but loosening individual repsâ grip on âtheirâ seat & keeping them relatively fresh. Itâs OUR seat. Not theirs.

I donât understand this response. Side? Youâre lying? No Iâm not suggesting anything about you or you lying đ§
This is conceptual
Wherein particularly neurodivergent brains are gonna get pissed if someone wants to ignore facts/numbers to try to make a point. And itâs not necessaryâ

What I think is that I can and do talk about the age of candidates all the time and I can do it as its own worthwhile discussion without lies or bad math

In March 2020 I was doing research because I was sure that against the guidance we should all be wearing masks. I found something written in 2009 about respiratory droplets/how they behaved and it included this image & I tried to stay away from everyoneâ6ft being a starting pt (with mask)

my brain cares way more about facts and math than any political party or stance, all of my positions are fact and math checkedâmaybe you donât understand a brain like thatâyou seem more emotionally driven

I care about whatâs happening in Gaza. Putting that in the hands of a literal sociopath let alone one who is a real estate developer who was praised by Israel his first term for breaking from 7 decades of US policy and kissing up to Netanyahu tells me you do not actually care.

3/Because when I vote I just think of what will happen to all of us as a result of the admin that wins. I do not see a win as a reward to the candidate. I see it as protection for usâfor the people. I make a strategic, harm reductive choice. In a general election, itâs never been a tough decision.
comment in response to
post
2/That candidate is just one person. And even if you want to âpunishâ all party officials⊠itâs not that many people. If youâre punishing an idea⊠youâve become harmfully reductive. Yet your intent isnât to reward the other candidate? To reward the opposing party? Their ideas?
Itâs fucking weird:

How grotesque that the media elected this thing so they could produce WWE style entertainment & make money off the Americans who survive(physically or financially) the results of this thing having presidential power

Me: once all of these people with different identities have the same rights a rich able-bodied cishet white man has, we wonât have to advocate for them, so letâs just extend rights to everyone & we can stop talking about it. Iâd love that.
The right: no!
comment in response to
post
but truly all of our politics are about identity & the only reason anyone thinks they arenât, is because people assume certain identities simply as the norm & when those are being catered to, itâs imagined no one is being catered to
which is completely false
comment in response to

EXACTLY
Trumpâs elections are honestly about identityâmore than anything else
comment in response to

Truly. Like what would the plan be? A time machine? If we had a time machine I donât think weâd just go back to 2023 to tell Biden not to run in 2024 because heâs gonna get a cancer diagnosis in 2025 after already dropping out of the election
comment in response to
post
I mean⊠if the idea is that people should know they have cancer the moment they have it, they should be writing an article about Trump defunding research because that technology doesnât exist yet
comment in response to
post
I do not have unsettling new questions
I have routinely met people who didnât realize(or whose family member or friend didnât realize) they had cancer, but did not feel great or were tired, itâs really not confusing unless you have no understanding of cancer

I think many of them instinctively know that⊠so they donât look đ

Exactlyâbefore he dropped out & there were âBiden oldâ comments I was likeâŠ
Have you read a transcript of Trump? Itâs utter NONSENSE. He just delivers it without stuttering. Iâd vote for Bidenâs corpse over elderly Trump cuz Bidenâs cabinet is very competent and that WILL NOT be the case with Trump

I donât know anyone who doesnât fear violence. The only difference is some people admit to it. The others⊠after all of their big talk, I see them crumble when push comes to shove. I see them hide out.
But they canât! They have a family!
comment in response to

Discontent⊠absolutely. Thatâs not new. But I always see people talking about ârevolutionâ who believe itâs *someone else* who will be sacrificing themselves while they watch
Just because people like going to stuff and getting cute pics doesnât mean they are willing to engage in violence

Most of the people online do lot like going outside
love writing words about revolution but do not want to put on pants
and yet many of them also fuckin blew it when it came to something so obvious as protecting the Supreme Court from conservatives so none of those solutions look realistic
cool

Well Iâm not *tolerating* gay people, they just are, as I am
but from the right wing perspective, they perceive or have convinced themselves that they are being harmed by the existence of gay people (for example)
but âgayâ isnât an ideology to tolerate !

And as complex as my situation is, I think we can assume there are people with far more complex situations.

I mean⊠itâs not easy tho⊠I started the process last year and gave up.
You need so much documentation & crap. I canât get mail at my residence & yet need multiple pieces of mail etc that have my place of residence on it. None of that kind of mail can be delivered to my residence so⊠đ„Ž

damn, the term âslopsquattingâ is the first interesting ai news Iâve heard

Yeah well thatâs a term popularized by conservatives to complain when the left is accepting of⊠letâs say a gay person(not a choice) but is condemning racist conservatives(a choice)
âso much for the tolerant leftâ
so Iâd say youâre right about the willful Nazi enabler partâfull on Nazi probably
