It’s fucking stupid to turn your back on your family over politics

It's really not. Politics determine your opinions and intentions regarding human rights and its violations. If my dad votes for Robodolf Mechahitler, he's not my dad anymore. Someone voting for Trump would likely betray their own daughter when Gilead rises. If they wouldn't, their vote is a contradiction to their character. I wouldn't take something like this lightly.

It's not that long. You'll be okay.

This is a pretty cool example of media bias distorting facts in order to cause kind of a Shiri's Scissor scenario in the reader based on where they get their news. Liberal source gives an inaccurate, more interpretive story based on what is already known about the parties involved. I'd wager a more conservative source would just give a direct statement of what RFK said here, which sounds fairly reasonable if you have no bias against the man and his team. Discussing this point becomes incredibly controversial between the groups because we have opposing interpretations of the same event, and it's difficult to come to any understanding without breaking many things down into smaller parts.

All this is to say I agree, it should have been an opinion piece. It's dishonest as it is now and would only cause friction, confusion, and raised hackles. We know how troubled teen camps fail kids, and what happens when bad people have power over vulnerable people. The writing is on the wall, but it's not clear for all of us. Be less inflammatory and more informative, is what I think news should be.

I still have people to love and things to appreciate. I know that civilization is pretty fucked right now, and I can't say for sure there's an other side to this tunnel we're barreling down, but that makes it all the more imperative that I don't take the good for granted. Despair and happiness are choices.

I'd say their credibility was never a consideration here. A proper discussion was never going to happen.

I don't like this flavor of dystopia.

This. I'm American and sick of knowing what that means.

You're applying male insecurities to women. I bet you don't even see the issue here.

Why do you behave like a bot?

Kind you do you too, bub.

I don't think this one should be as controversial as it is.

NOTHING PRODUCES A BETTER SHITPOST THAN AMERICAN POLITICS!!! 🗣🗣🗣

One of those sounds way more exciting.

Valid take. The military industrial complex is a terrifying ordeal.

Did you choose to overlook my intentional usage of the word "chosen" just to mansplain something obvious? I did not make my choice out of ignorance, but I appreciate you assuming I did.

I like Jill Stein. She can't win this presidency. Voting for her results in Trump winning. That is a fact. I don't like it either, but voting for her is the same as handing a vote to Trump. Again, I cannot stress this enough, I do not like this. I don't want Kamala. I want a socialist. But Trump is a massive fucking threat, and Kamala is the only option that can beat him this race. Vote ideals locally, strategy federally.

This is always how I've chosen to interpret the expression. It's not a theory. It's an observation.

That'll just lose us more rights when Trump gets elected.

I would be one of you if they didn't purge my accounts years ago. The trust will never return.

I'm in the US, and I saw the setting. Unsurprisingly.
