Wait till this crowd hears about smoke detectors.

I hate how everyone seems dead set on separating everyone by the color of their skin. Jesus Christ, y’all mind if I just exist as a human instead of what color I am?

Seriously, thank you for voting.

Expect lots of “cop” comments in regards to Harris from Russians totally real leftists.

Saving this comment for later.

Waiting for the “you’re gonna vote for a cop?” comments on Lemmy in regards to Harris.

Nature also made our kickass brains which we use to create these amazing things.

Those same idiots drive home in a car to an air conditioned home. What’s “natural” about any of that?

lol

I’ve seen a mixed response in the community.

I’ve been vegan for about 4 years and I will be all over lab grown meat if/when it “makes it”.

The biggest issue I remember reading about was “fetal bovine serum” which, IIRC, was needed continuously throughout the process.

Personally, if all that’s required to get started is a cell sample from a living animal which isn’t harmed beyond the sample (minor and far from life threatening or causing suffering) then I’ll be eating it for sure.

You got an issue if I “like” throwing trash in your yard?

What’s wrong? Just let me live my life man.

Speaking of force - my dipshit neighbor who just moved in loves his loud vehicle. I guess living close to a busy street and an international airport doesn’t provide enough noise for him.

Been thinking his gas tank is a bit low on sugar. Should I help him out?

Call me crazy but I’m gonna say if you can’t hold a goddamn pole that’s on you.

Polestar 2, Tesla Model 3, and Ioniq 6 are all sedans.

“I swear I only accepted it with every intention of giving it to kids who need food”

No. It affects availability. Not integrity or confidentiality.

and to stop publicly talking about how the United States is arming and funding a genocide, for example

This right here is why I don’t see value in arguing those facts and just concentrating on the fact that we have 2 real choices and one is clearly better.

There is absolutely nothing I can say to you that will convince you that what’s going on in Gaza isn’t a genocide. It’s literally not worth trying. I’ve seen people say shit like, “You know what we mean, even if we don’t mean literally genocide”. People either just like using the word to mean “murder” or “killing” or actually think there’s a literal genocide happening right now.

Either way, I’d rather just try to get people to see the simple, straightforward logic:

1. Either the Dem or Rep nominee will in.
2. Thanks to the voting system we’re subject to, if you vote for a 3rd party which better aligns with your ideals, you run a real risk of allowing the worse of #1 to be elected. This is a worse outcome for you and me.
3. Given 1 and 2, you’re better off throwing weight behind the better of #1.

No matter what you or anyone else says next, 1 and 2 are true. That should lead you to 3, if you’re a logical person. If it doesn’t lead you there, you either still don’t understand the logic or you’re not all that concerned with his dictatorial comments, what that might mean for women, minorities, atheists, him getting MORE SCOTUS appointments, Ukraine/Russia, etc.

We’re talking about the majority of registered Democrats who believe that Israel is committing a genocide with American money and bombs.

Again, nothing I or anyone else say is going to disabuse those people of that notion. We’ll just be called genocide deniers. Why try?

But you’re stifling Democrats who are criticizing Biden by claiming that they’re all actually Russian bots

I haven’t personally accused anyone of being a Russian agent and will continue that way.

I’ve simply concentrated on the illogical nature of the arguments seen in the meme. While I continue to be surprised at how hard it is for some to understand first past the post voting systems, I just think those people aren’t bright. Not Russian, necessarily.

Ironically, during the “basket of deplorables” snafu, the left on Reddit were saying things like “if an insult made you vote for Trump, you were probably never voting for Hillary anyway”. And I think that holds true.

Because if you know how FPTP works and you believe one of the two people who are going to win this race is better than the other - you have your vote figured out already.

Just write in your own name and you’ll match 100% of what you want and have the same chance at actually being elected.

Exciting!

It might as well be.

I don’t get that at all.

Those of us trying to get those saying the things in the meme know we need all the votes we can get.

If we knew Biden would win in a landslide, why waste keystrokes?
