You can’t call any of them by name, unlike Beetlejuice. You have to post something positive, even mildly so, about the Harris/Walz campaign. Then all the little rats come scurrying over to tell you how you’re a genocide stan and any real American should be voting for Cornoliverill Stein de la Fruit, and it’s definitely not because daddy Putin said so.

Cool. Not everyone does and advocating protest voting can have an effect outside that of your individual vote. Your move, genius.

With literally zero infrastructure or organizational capabilities.

They have absolutely no ground game, and just expect to throw a fist in the air and say “rise up comrades, who’s with me!?”, and then go full on surprised Pikachu when nobody takes them up on that offer.

These people need therapy and mood stabilizers.

Yeah, like I said, critical thinking is in short supply for that crowd.

No. Critical thinking skills preclude even entertaining the notion of voting third party, because critical thinking skills would lead one to comprehend how FPTP and the EC work, and realize the all-but-guaranteed mathematical impossibility of electing a third party president.

Anyone who proudly proclaims to vote third party is one of the following, without exception:

  • an uninformed idealist, aka a useful idiot
  • a bad actor
  • an entitled jackass with zero disregard for the effects of their actions

In any of these cases, I wouldn’t trust these people with a butter knife let alone a ballot. But that’s not my call, so I call them out for what they are.

E: forgot a word

I’m ok with all of that. It furthers my goal of hitting the platform back in response to their predatory marketing practices and de facto monopoly. Also, I do support creators outside of youtube. In short, I don’t feel bad about any of this.

That would require them being capable of critical thinking, and anyone willing to vote third party clearly lacks in that department.

It is morally correct to adblock youtube.

E: I can’t hear any of these counterpoints over the sweet ad-free youtube I’m getting for free.

Hell, cawthorn and his talk of cocaine and sex parties looks looks tame by comparison.

I was expecting his October surprise to be the release of the biopic which includes a scene of him beating and raping his first wife.

It’s honestly quite sad to see what the brand has become. I have a model 3 that I got back when elon was just weirdo that smoked weed on rogan’s show and made sophomoric sex jokes. My car is a solid vehicle that feels fun to drive. There were a lot of really talented engineers that built a great product. I’d never buy another though.

He’ll accept. We all saw this during the most recent debate. Just keep saying he’s scared to get under his skin and he’ll foam at the mouth and lash out.
