What’s a wojack

Like my old man used to say, look after your sphincter and your sphincter will look after you.

What red flags though

I am mocking the idea which has been widely presented by US media and support by this sub, that the choice between a convicted felon, fraudster and rapist with fascist backers and the status quo, (albeit lead by a deteriorating man) was ever difficult.

I am also mocking the idea that the choice has been made easier by Harris.

That’s was the article was about if you’ve read it.

Do you, as a non US citizen like me, not find it interesting - even bemusing - that when faced with the current Republican Party and all that their government would bring, voters were - according the article - finding it difficult to vote for Biden because he was merely too old and infirm ?

When faced with fascism, the relatability of the alternative is important. Gotcha.

For the dems it does seem to be a buff. The media is certainly telling us it’s a huge buff : half of the posts here today are about that.

This unfortunately shows us that some people viewed voting for a convicted felon, fraudster and rapist and condemning America to being dismantled and sold for parts vs voting for the status quo, lead by a deteriorating man, as some kind of dilemma .

My own politics are way left of either, but I don’t think is controversial to shine a light on the superficial nature of the electorate.

Bear in mind, a lot of these people screech about fascism etc etc, but somehow saw it as a difficult choice. At least, that’s what the polls, via the media, are telling us.

Sorry who are you ? Another champion of binary thinking ?

You can see where you’ve gone wrong, I hope ?

Ah, I think see what’s happened : because I’ve said (of those that would vote Harris but not Biden, per the article) “people are … easily fooled,” many people have assumed I’m pro Trump.

It’s faulty thinking, but very instructive all the same.

Do you think it’s possible to hold a position that is not pro trump, yet at the exact same time, not pro Harris ?

The impact of good hair, a bright smile and perfect teeth eh ?

The commentary has been hilarious this year.

• Can’t vote republican because trump is convicted felon, fraudster and sex pest who will be fascist dictator and burn down the country just to warm his feet

• can’t vote democrat because (checks notes)…… Biden is a bit too old.

Suddenly Harris appears, and within 7 days, those who would risk America being dismantled and sold for parts because one guy was too old, can breathe easy again because a seemingly impossible choice has been simplified for them

I hope America does avoid fascism, and I hope they credit Harris’ hair stylist and orthodontist appropriately

What was it about my post that invited this irrelevant question ?

That’s because people are fickle and easily fooled.

Sadly you need to be ill to qualify

I don’t think there any such thing as attempted manslaughter in UK…… mainly because manslaughter is when someone is killed as a result of violence, where there was no intent to kill.

A kick to the head can be attempted murder, if you can prove the intent was to kill - which is often difficult and especially based on this footage. Its GBH for any man on the street.

My guess is he’s toast, but won’t see a jail.

Brad Pitt looks old now.

Still good looking, of course, but he’s not unusually youthful at all.

Well, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but the camera does indeed lie sometimes.

I think your husband is going to have some important news for you soon.

I thought you weren’t too keen on ableism ?
