You're lucky you don't have to think about politics but only about how to serve your family. What a carefree life that must be 😐
Ssshhh! You’ll just confuse her! Great, now she’s hysterical. Lucky I have this brand new “massager” to cure her of that malady! Best used with a healthy dose of medicinal cocaine!
Statistically speaking, most people reading this wouldn't get to vote anyways. That might be part of how that election went that direction.
And the fact that every rich person in the US paid to put him there.
I'm going third party. /s
Unironically voting for the GOAT Eugene V Debs

Damn, you really gonna make me vote for the prohibitionist YEC?
He was less invested in those causes at that point than he was in progressive labor policies. As far as evolution and prohibition go, he had some understandable motivations. Alcohol causes terrible harm and he also worked to improve the conditions that drive people to addiction. Evolution was promoted by social darwinists to justify capitalist exploitation. He was less of a YEC by today's standards, even if he was wrong.
He didn't know how much prohibition would fail beforehand, and his opposition to evolution touches on an important assumption people make about nature. Most people assume that something being natural makes it good, but evolution shows how misguided that assumption is.
Evolution is a process fuelled by death, where no individual matters and we are only servants to a soulless machine. We only grow old and die to help evolution work faster. Most suffering serves our genes rather than us as people. Capitalism sucks because of the ways it resembles evolution, turning every element of our existence into a mechanical processes. Evolution dangles happiness in front of us to get us to serve it.
WJB just couldn't accept that nature is so cruel, that we're machines produced by a process that only advances through death. Most religious people still need to square this reality with their understanding of a creator deity worthy of worship. I respect the concept of God more as our creation of than as our creator. If it were to represent our common personhood instead of our evolved species, it would actually be worth serving.
William secure the vote
I don't think I'm old enough... I'd be negative 85 years old in 1900.
I refuse to believe that is the forehead of an actual human being...
Which one?
William McKinley is what humans used to look like before they all caught the Augment Virus, which dissolved their powerful cranial ridges.
It's the opposite of what happened to the Klingons
Frasier Crane lookin motherfucker.
Big Willi am energy
