Nah fam. I know you think you're some oracle that can see how things go, but I can safely say if I ever thought Harris was viable I would gladly bang the drum for her and say, "well at least Harris can win" but quite frankly she has a snowball's chance in hell. I'm voting against fascism this election no matter who it is, but I'm certainly not voting for anyone in particular. That was the same with Biden. Nothing has really changed since I'm capable of making rational decisions. The calculus is the same - vote against fascism. Just looks a whole lot bleaker now.

Who is supposed to do that? When do I get my sheeple call? Instead of listening to them I should totally listen to a free thinker such as yourself - then I'd be such an independent thinker 🙄
Yeah, it's a terrible direction. I don't see a viable path forward for Democrats now. Biden caved to pressure from fear mongers and a Trump win is looking pretty good. If I took your advice I could vote 3rd party and enjoy my smugness while I watch a new fascist regime take hold.
You demand people think for themselves and don't agree with their outcome. People have thought of the arguments you make and they're not convincing. Telling people to "not be a good little follower" when following Biden is the most reasonable outcome given the circumstances is silly given the alternatives involve either voting against your best interests directly or drastically changing the way elections are determined which isn't going to happen 4 months before the election. Give it a rest.
I was surprised at the comment until I saw who made it.
I'd assume in order to be a 90s kid you would've needed to have a memory of your existence in the 90s. Most kids can't remember anything earlier than 4-5 years old, so the cutoff of 1994 seems about right using that criteria.
Sounds about right. I have seen similar markers in California to measure fault line movement on an annual basis, as well as several in Yellowstone for roughly similar reasons. Seems like this is a survey marker to measure distance or alignment.
When I lived in Japan (around 15 years ago, so etiquette might have changed since then) it was common to take the fish off of the rice and dip it in soy sauce, then put it back on the rice bed in instances where it was just placed atop the rice. Likewise, it was perfectly fine to mix wasabi into your soy sauce.
I've done things that way since without any overt disdain, so I think these are generally good guidelines, but you can probably get away with doing some things your own way.
No, what You're saying is a non-sequitur. It doesn't follow and your logic is wrong.
Sounds legit. I fully believe this story.
That's a non-sequitur. Being marginalized isn't a prerequisite for being a bigot.
Yeah, see there you go assuming I wasn't one of those people. I was and still am, but I'm also reasonable. Nothing changes if Joe drops now or 3 months ago - the incumbency advantage is lost and the next available candidates look... Not great. The only difference is that Trump would have more time to attack the opposition. The tradeoff is that doing it now means we have to trust the DNC to run a short campaign effectively, but we've seen that they can't run a long campaign effectively, so it doesn't really matter. If you're in the, "no to fascism" vote crowd, the DNC could put up a turnip and it would get my vote.
