196 stands with palestine - eviltoast

The US primaries and the general election are two different things. Voting uncommitted in the primary expresses support for the Palestinian plight and does not give Republicans any ground.

The uncommitted movement presents a safe and effective avenue for voters to voice dissatisfaction with President Biden’s policies, particularly with the Israel-Hamas conflict. By doing so in the primary, voters can signal discontent without risking a Republican victory in the general election. The purpose is to send a wake-up call to the Biden administration that it is failing to address issues and effectively engage with the party, vis a vis that Biden is enabling a genocide.

That being said, anyone who calls for an uncommitted or third-party vote in the general election i will personally kick in the gender neutral balls (in Minecraft).

    I think I remember that Bloom County sequence too!

    It was literally how he ended the daily strip Bloom County and transitioned to the much weirder and artsy weekly Sunday-only strip Outland. The strip ends with Trump buying Bloom County, firing all the characters, and paving the dandelion fields. Even as a kid I read it as a strong indictment on what people like Trump stood for, and it made me think badly of him.

    Anyway yeah, thanks for hearing and listening. I’m really sorry the rest of your conversations haven’t gone as well.

      Ah ha, I remember Outland a little and it was definitely strange.

      Oh well, you know, I don’t expect people to say “you know, you’re right Horsey! I’ve repented!”. But I enjoy talking to people and I do learn from other peoples’ differing viewpoints.
