Vote against the fucking fascists, man!

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year 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!

[–] urda@lebowski.social 24 points 1 year ago

[–] urda@lebowski.social 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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 1 year ago

What's a blue wave, Walter?

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

That’s just like… his opinion, man.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

Whaddya need that for, Dude?

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

You zink he iss making vit ze funny schtuff?

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

[–] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago
[–] caboose2006@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

What the fuck’re you talkin’ about.

Another caucasian, Gary?

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

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

What about women though?

Please try to be more inclusive sir.
