Vote against the fucking fascists, man!

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 34 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Voting Biden was going to be a vote against the fascists. Voting Harris is going to be a vote for Harris. She's killing it, and I'm actually happy to support her vs just sending my vote to whoever has the best shot at beating the greater evil.

I'm hoping that distinction will translate to some insane activity with voter turnout.

I haven't felt this optimistic about politics in ages.

Recently the UK elected a Labour government in a massive landslide, but polls before and after the election showed that main reason people were voting Labour was to get the Tories out (in contrast to previous polls preceding the last time Labour was elected). This time, it was a clear case of beating the greater evil.

I'm envious of the enthusiasm that I'm seeing around the US election due to Harris, but it's nice to see people's optimism, even if it's bittersweet.

This batch of labour politicians also suck though, unfortunately.

Well, that's just like... my opinion too, man!

[–] teft@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

[–] urda@lebowski.social 24 points 10 months ago

What day is this?

[–] urda@lebowski.social 28 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Far out man, think he’s got room for another?

[–] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

Fucking A man.

You know me. I can’t complain.

Nonvoters! Fuck me. I mean, say what you want about the tenets of Democracy, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

What's a blue wave, Walter?

[–] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That’s just like… his opinion, man.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

I’m throwing the money, Walter! We’re not fucking around!

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Does the female form make you uncomfortable, Mr. Lebowski?

Whaddya need that for, Dude?

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago

I love how he is taking this zoom call in his garage. The place where all dudes hang out.

[–] GCanuck@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (3 children)

No hate, but I’m shocked to see him doing this from his garage. Figured with the a-list money he could afford a house with more rooms.

[–] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

Ya but the rug in the garage really pulls the room together.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

You zink he iss making vit ze funny schtuff?

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

the garage is the white dude's nexus of power.

[–] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago
[–] caboose2006@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago

Um, technically he's THE Dude.

If you're a white nationalist, you're not just a race traitor, you're a traitor to mankind.

EDIT: Apparently, if you're a white nationalist, you're also a bitch.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What the fuck’re you talkin’ about.

Another caucasian, Gary?

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I wasn't directly responding to you, just sharing my distaste for white nationalists. I'll admit it's a slight tangent.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

That contravenes a number of the league’s by-laws

[–] TunaCowboy@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

mankind

What about women though?

Please try to be more inclusive sir.
