Voting for Biden is basically like voting third party, which is basically the same as voting for Trump

Any time I see that emoji I just think of this

My first was The Weeds starring Ezra "Vox" Klein and our fav neolib ghoul Matt "Matty" Yglesias

Yes, I used to listen to a podcast called All the Presidents Lawyers hosted by Josh Barro where he would interview Popehat weekly on all of Trump's legal battles.

I also followed Seth Abramson on Twitter and would read his 600 tweet threads about how He'd Like To See Trump Wriggle His Way Out of This One.

There are literally no limits to lesser evilist brainworms

I've come to the conclusion that liberals are orders of magnitude more guilty than "tankies" at doing whataboutism but they don't call it that when they do it and literally nobody calls them out on it, including tankies. "lesser of two evils" is no different than whataboutism, except usually on much flimsier empirical grounds than when communists do it.

I've read your original comment like 6 times and it sounds like you're saying the most "in your face" clue that Starship was about fascism was that they were able to take coed showers without it being a big deal? But that doesn't make sense so I'm sure that's not it. But I can't figure out how to read it any other way

If that happens Hugh Laurie gets to be president

Scissors says the Rock is a paper tiger

I am reminded of how the KPD getting its leaders murdered by Freikorps thugs during the Spartacist uprising (mind you, a much stronger party than any leftist movement in America today), and how its continued suppression paved the way to Nazi Germany.

You know who was in power in the Weimar government when this happened? Not fascists, not even far right conservatives like the modern GOP. It was social democrats - people significantly to the left of the modern Dem party. They got the Freikorps to murder Rosa and they literally appointed Hitler to power. Don't fool yourself that the Bidens of this country wouldn't do the same to an actual nascent leftist threat to the existing cryptofascist order.

OP did mention not being American
