I’ve had people tell me straight faced that Elon Musk should absolutely be where he is because “he doesn’t care about money or power.” It’s unbelievable.

it’s called living in a society but ok?

There are a myriad of fantastic organizations doing great work and if 5% of the disillusioned crowd got involved they’d make huge gains. They just want a single President to magic wand everything they want into existence, if they can even define what they want half the time.

I get what you’re saying I really do but we do this same song and dance every 4 years since 2012

Or to show that you paid attention to anything they said about themselves and didn’t just wait your turn to talk. You know, basic social etiquette lol

Yes it’s a privilege to be able to do what I do. But I guarantee you almost every person who goes online writing comment after comments about how “there are simply no good candidates” could’ve donated a few dollars or phone banked at least once for someone. If you ask them who they would have wanted instead they can’t even answer that because they don’t know. They just get mad at the establishment during the final hours then disappear for a few years and never try to do anything about it.

I am very very sensitive to corporate astroturfing but frankly this macro seems pretty innocuous. Listing the models even enhances the comedy IMO

I currently volunteer with and donate to the EFF and CSE, and I worked both of Bernie’s campaign. If your goal is to flip the script on me you’ll need to find another approach. Or you could try actually engaging the points.

Yes it was overly angry and ranty but I am tired of repeating it and this election was frustrating as fuck.

sigh yes you’re the third or fourth person to make this joke. Yes I agree.

The point is that nobody calls them terrorists for doing that. Putting words or art on weapons and ammo is considered “normal” as twisted as that is. So Luigi’s doing it does not make him a terrorist.
