    When Biden is elected we are going to have a problem. The dems are whitewashing away his racist actions of the past. Biden gets support from the right because he is a dixiecrat. He has always been a codeword racist. He has always used covert ways to demonize the black community as thugs and criminals. He has always been for segregation and criminalizing black people. This has always made the right wing think of him as an ally for their cause. He is also sexist and feels women are soft pretty things there for him to touch and stare at. He has always fallen on tjhe wrong side of things due to compromise. Compromise in the face of sexism and racism is acceptance and complicity. It is shrouding it in "law and order" and romantic nostalgia.

    Since the dems seem to be enamored with a dog whistle racist and sexist creep, then we need to remind them he needs to be fought against. We cannot just pass his agenda and his choices for the supreme court because he has a D next to his name. A rapist frat boy might be a great choice for SCOTUS when no one is going to fight against Biden's choice. Do you think RBG is going to be replaced with anyone near her ideology if Biden gets to select someone? If you are you are a fucking nutbar. Biden will select a bank loving corporate frat boy crony who is tough on crime, loves the drug wars, and is a compromise person who has votes against abortion, GLBT people, and for things like stop and frisk and racist decision making that likes white skin over black.

    The right wing people are already supporting him. Lincoln project conservative war mongers are already kneeling at his feet because they know creepy joe will go to war with them, because he has always supported foreign intervention. Republicans will give him enough votes when he needs them to advance regressive policies. The dems will rubber stamp his policies except for a few progressives who will be demonized for not voting on party lines when the party is shifting to racist, sexist, conservative dixiecrat values. At least siding with trump is poison for dems. Now we won't need to worry about it because as long as a dixiecrat scumbag like joe presents it everyone just smiles and says it is OK.

    Fuck that shit. Fucking low info voters and conservatives in dem clothing need more pain. We do not need more decades of wait until later while rights are eroded under dem leadership. We do not need the pretense these people are our allies while the dem party works to restore the high school to prison pipeline to past glory because joe does not want black people around the pool on in school with white kids. This is who joe is, and he was put as Obama's VP because he was a dog whistle to the dems who did not want a black president because they were racist. He was not there with Obama because he was friendly or good for the US. He was always there to attract the right, and that is why the dems have him there now.

    I am not voting for that.

    My answer remains the same. Individual municipalities drawing up "anti-corruption charters" is entertaining, and maybe by the 22nd century this trend will be more widespread. But it's also possible - probable, really - that these charters are toothless and can be torn up in the name of Business as Usual, or you discover that the politicos who instigated them are just as corrupt as the corruption they're ostensibly trying to fight.

    I didn't fill out the "End Corruption" petition, because I've signed enough of those to know what's on the click-through page.

    To reiterate: I'm only being mildly ironic in suggesting that greed is hard-wired into our DNA. Greed is about fear, which is why there's never enough money or "stuff" for the 1%. Their atavistic memories of hiding in the cave so the saber-tooth tiger won't eat them just won't go away.

    Like Generalissimo Dayton, she doesn't think a new civil war is possible, and that there's just no way such a thing could happen in the modern world. Despite the fact that there are a number of them happening right now.

    I love how stuff like this gets dumb rep. I consider that dumb translates into they have no argument and are embarrassed because of their vote and think is is dumb you hurt their feelings. In essence that is the way a lot of republican act when you destroy their people.

    I have noticed when people bring up bad shit about biden everyone says "but Trump" just the way every republican said "but Obama" or "but hillary" because they could never confront the truth.

    I really tend to forget dems are not much better than republicans when it comes to these things. At least with Hillary I could come up with some areas where she was good despite her corrupt bullshit. Biden does not even have her strengths and he makes Bill look like he has it together. I never was a Bill Clinton fan because he always seemed like a flake who was more interested than who to sleep with rather than the job. I always thought hillary was the brains of the operation while Bill was the face. Now we have Joe who is not even the face.

    No one can defend this guy, because no one wanted him to begin with. We are just supposed to ignore the facts of his nomination and be good little dems and forget his problems. Well, I am an independent in dem clothing. I signed up for the dems to have a say in the primaries but I am not a dem at all.

    I hope it is Biden over trump for the next four years, but that does not mean in any way I trust biden, want biden, or will not be continually hammering biden and his supporters for pretending he is any better than a shit sandwich. The way I see it is Trump is the green shit sandwich and Biden is the light brown one with corn in it. They are still shit sandwiches, and I do not need shitty corn stuck in my teeth.

    I am all good with the civil war when it comes. I do much more damage as the infiltrator, and my redneck disguise is awesome. Yes, I could waste them head to head, but it is so much more fun making them shoot each other and fucking up their plans. Yes, I know how easy it is to do. It is a skill I have that I use. It probably comes from the reality that all my life I have had to play the role of male and have become quite fucking good at it. You tend to learn something about duping other people when you have done it for so long. Not to mention I grew up with westchester people. If westchester is not one of the biggest backstabbing false people areas of the universe, I do not want to know what is. The devil himself could learn some lessons from the people of westchester.

    I don't need to read this thread to know it's @Uncle Albert irrationally arguing for throwing his vote away and essentially voting Republican.

    Also probably some snark about how mail in ballots are the equivalent of direct deposit, and therefore AUTHORITARIANISM.

    A bunch of terrorist acts is not a civil war. The best I have seen the radical right do is seize a government building during the Obama admin, and that really was not a problem. I think the option he employed with them is the sort of option that the government should use, and not goi the trump way of dominate them all because that leads to tyranny and fascism.

    Not voting, or voting for someone other than Biden is not voting for trump. GFY with that bullshit. There are people who actually vote for trump, and go talk to them.

    You are just vote shaming.

    Two things:
    1. Civil wars often start as a result of a bunch of terrorist acts.
    2. Have you tried lithium? If not, you probably should.

    1.) The Bubba Squad already has the land, it'll be up to the US military to take it from them.
    2. Hmm. Maybe you should opt for low-doses of arsenic instead.

    :tactfulsilence:

    Mmm, close, but not quite. Before Anc took over as admin and UA's last post before he kited out of here for the next several years was "Fuck me running!"* UA insisted that voting was a waste of his valuable time.

    As of today, he's claiming that in the past he only voted for candidates he considered "worthy," but has since then been unable to provide a single example of what he deems "worthiness."

    He hadn't gotten around to mail-in ballots yet. Maybe he will and, you're right. He'll bitch about being FORCED to go to a drop-off center instead of standing in line at a polling place.

    But he got to be the center of attention all day today, so he's probably too busy congratulating himself to grace us with his presence for the next little while.

    *'cause, yanno, a librul was taking over WF and UA predicted Anc would drive it into the ground within a month. UA's psychic powers are almost as finely honed as Volpone's.

    He's lurking. :loltears: C'mon, big boy. You started this scrum. Get back in and finish it.

    Not voting is the equivalent of voting Republican though, so the first part of my post still tracks.

    1 Land ownership does not mean supporting a new government. I could claim my land is a part of the brittish empire and that does not make it so. Bad argument.
    2. I am happy with my present regiment, unless you can show me the benefits of such a thing. Like with the civil war argument I am waiting for some explanation of how it actually works instead of nothing.

    Yawn. No surprise the Biden Bootlickers don't have an argument like always.

    The only evidence here proves rightforge is correct about demforge.

    No it is not, Do quit your vote shaming bullshit. Voting for trump is voting for trump. Voting for Biden is also voting for biden and his problems become something you enable. You will hold all of the damage he does on your head.

    Right, so you think that if Trump loses the election, but claims that the election was rigged against him, your local idiots are just going to call Trump crazy and leave it at that.

    [​IMG]

    Get back to me when you can be more articulate tha Dayton in this thread.
    No, you're not. You're just wanting attention. You don't know anything about the subject at hand but you feel compelled to blovate on the subject because you think it makes you seem "edgy." Like when you showed up here and boasted that you trolled someone to death. Trust me. You take low-dose arsenic and you'll get all the attention you want, and then some. It worked for Queen Elizabeth I.

    So you are doubling down on the can't confront the truth about Biden thing.

    You prove all; the people who say this is an echo chamber of liberal memes right when you cannot address the elephant in the room.

    But aside from lowering my opinion of humanity how are you doing?

    Aaannnddd, you've just proven mine and @Tererun's argument. It doesn't matter if you vote for Biden or not. trump is not going to leave peacefully. But, please, continue to tell me how voting for Biden will do something meaningful.

    Sorry, but voting for the lesser of two evils is entirely logical, especially when you consider self-preservation a motivation.
