Slop.

This is actually a perfect way of showing how the libs don't get it. "Vote like your life and the lives of every vulnerable person in the country depends on it" is exactly how they framed the last 3 elections.

So why do they only stop at voting? That was the entire point Tom Morello made in that interview, and he made it incredibly clear and coherent. If it's so consequential that Trump doesn't become president, then why isn't there more resistance? Why do people accept the president that clearly tried to steal one election in 2020?

Instead they focus on the only acceptable form of political participation as the end all be all. If all you have to do is vote blue, then you don't have to feel bad about failing those vulnerable people because you did all you could.

Shut up Wesley.

I wonder what the intent and impact of Kamala Harris valuing Israel over defeating Donald Trump was? Can any lib answer that central question?

Is Harris not a grown ass women who can make her own choices? Did she not side with the zionists gleefully and sadistically while ignoring internal polling that proved she was losing votes because of that choice?

This is why libs only vague post about this, because those questions act like a blowtorch to their flimsy cope narratives

And now Wheaton gets to Rage on Behalf of the Machine

do usians even know how their own system works? even mr. chomsky managed to figure out that voting third party in blue or red state is perfectly safe (in the most utilitarian/virtue ethics systems, as you aren't possibly responsible for result anyways) way to express dissatisfaction, a feat of intellectualism that eludes libs, including hasan and the rest of podcasting scene. much less possessing moral clarity to vote third party or none of the above in any conditions

Tom Morello cares about all people's lives, not just Americans, shocker

Liberals are really losing their minds, now that their own lives are affected negatively too by their own shitty politics (although mostly just financially). And it seems like they prefer taking it out on minorities and left-wingers, just constantly calling us all kinds of names to let out their frustration. At the same time though, they yell at trans people to shut up, because us whining about trivial stuff like humans rights and so is off-putting to potential voters.

So in the end, they're not those pragmatic cold-logic driven people that are doing anything to win elections. They're just hypocritical shitheads that are throwing temper-tantrums every time something doesn't work the way they want it to. Even right before an election they can't even drop their snarkiness to win over potential voters, but expect those they see beneath them to sacrifice their own lives to get anyone with a D next to their name into power

Will "democrat is a slur" Wheaton

I dislike Will Wheaton a lot

Every time these movie-brained assholes propose some reality where they lose the election and everybody just suddenly fucking dies, I want to shake them into unconsciousness while screaming primally. It's so fucking childish and it's always deployed in service of the most monstrous treatler attitudes towards the people actually fighting the fascist empire, the people who the instruments of instant mass death are actually reserved for and for whom that shit is actually on the table. But no, fuck them because having morals or a spine might put me in the path of 1% of the ruination i regularly cosign in the name of endless shrimp. To put being a lib and being a Palestinian on the same rhetorical level is insulting enough, but then to say "and actually my situation is more dire because it's happening to me, so those kids are just gonna have to starve" is so fucking smugly, thoughtlessly depraved. I truly hate these people and their smug, racist Victorian self-righteousness in ways I will spend the rest of my life trying to describe. It's like a glass sphere of pressurized ink in my heart, black and perfect and ready to cut through diamond.

The way they were so quick to brand themselves The Resistance during Trump 1, so fucking twee and self-satisfied while they did nothing but rake in T shirt money and cape for a vegetative war criminal, was a prelude to their ultimate feat of self-importance: making a genocide that they are collaborators of all about them.

Vote Blue No Matter Who for the Machine

In what universe does Wil Wheaton believe his life would be threatened by Trump being president? Liberals have become indistinct from 2008 conservatives who thought Obama would personally send every old white person to a FEMA execution chamber. I also think wealthy public liberals are also finally confronting that both major parties are in lockstep agreement when it comes to imperialism and the Zionist project. But instead of viewing this as an indictment of America, liberals are treating it more like it's an apolitical force of nature that simply happens. It's impossible to stop Israel, and it's impossible to stop America's external warfare, so why keep discussing it? Why think about it?

So in the liberal mind the only choice you have is domestic policy, even though that's considerably fake as well. I guess liberals are gonna have to go through a process where they narrow down the appeals of Democrats further and further. Because the last election was about how there's a genocide of Palestinians, but voting can't impact that, so at least you can vote for the rights of marginalized people domestically. But by 2028 I think even that message won't work, so maybe it'll be voting for the rights of people in specific states, or specific cities.

You don't have to be a genius to see the democrats did the same thing in 2024 that they did in 2004. They promised to do warfare and imperialism competently. They promised the genocide in Gaza would continue, but operated more efficiently than how a republican would handle it.

Kamala would have won if she had come out and promised to do things differently, mostly on Gaza/aid to the Zionist Entity and some real trifling domestic promises, Joe Biden was a losing candidate and promising to be like Joe was tantamount to professing a suicide pact.

My dear Wil do you know why she couldn’t make that very simple pivot? Because the unelected masters of this place would not allow it. No amount of voting gets rid of those guys. They’re unelected.

shut the fuck up, Wil, you stupid nerd

I googled for the Threads post but the google results weirdly did not include his account. Instead the results were only for tags mentioning him. I clicked a link but it had a fucking log-in overlay.

What is the story behind this? I tried to Google it and I got a load of paywalled interviews promoting his new show

Shut up, space nerd Wil Wheaton.

If anyone here actually has an account on there, go tell him that he's only remembered for playing Adric, a character that nobody liked.
