Have you ever heard of a phrase that goes to the tune of, "too clever by half"?

lol that's not as bad as the goon who voted for Kamala for president with some absolutely brain melting justification and then posted about it. also on the Valentine's ep of Bad Faith: brie (exasperated after 30 minutes of being deflected): "so, what IS true romance to you?" virgil: "hmm... you know Japanese kamikaze pilots..?"

crepeface posted:lol that's not as bad as the goon who voted for Kamala for president with some absolutely brain melting justification and then posted about it. The justification was that he couldn't possibly vote for disgusting neoliberal rapist Joe Biden out of principle, and he wanted his protest vote to show just how incredibly low his standards were when it came to getting trump out of office, which he demonstrated by voting for the candidate he couldn't possibly vote for's running mate. A protest vote which definitely sent a strong message, and definitely didn't just cause a vote counter to stop for half a second, assume he's some dumbass who doesn't know how voting works, and immediately forgetting about it 2 seconds later. Somehow the way to show how disgustingly low your standards are is to... vote for the other person on the same ticket? They also said they didn't vote for Bernie because Bernie said not to do that, completely ignoring the fact that Bernie literally said to vote for Joe Biden, which he didn't do. This person insisted that this was somehow a meaningful gesture lmao ben shapino has issued a correction as of 09:30 on Feb 16, 2021 |

hold up a second Someone voted for Kamala Harris? Like, via write-in, or what? I think we found the one person in the entire country who actually voted for her (outside of the idiots who voted Biden/Harris affirmatively in the general)

Clibanarius posted:hold up a second quote:I wrote-in Kamala Harris because I wanted my protest vote to make clear how appallingly low my standards are when the alternative is Trump. I could not bring myself to vote for a rapist, or for someone who is suffering cognitive decline. A write-in vote of Bernie seemed utterly pointless to me. I live in Massachusetts and if I lived in a swing state I very may well have voted for Biden. But my life would probably be really different if that were the case, so I can't really say for sure. ___ Farm Frenzy posted:wasnt that just a joke if it was a bit, they were very committed to it quote:I respected Bernie enough to not go against his wish for his supporters to not use his name as a protest vote. quote:If your actual position is "words and symbolic gestures don't do anything to materially help people so they don't matter," then a write-in vote for Kamala is exactly the same thing as a write-in for Bernie Sanders is exactly the same thing as not voting. You hate me because I find a way to be logically consistent in this world without being completely nihilist. quote:Tell a lib you wrote in Bernie Sanders and they'll have a whole list of talking points ready to go and be smugly superior behind. quote:Joe Biden said if he believed Tara Reade he wouldn't vote for himself either. So I didn't. If Kamala Harris hadn't flamed out hilariously and her record as AG came under closer examination, if she had said something to the effect of "If I thought trans prisoners deserved humane treatment I wouldn't vote for me either" or anything that implied that, I would not have voted for her. I wrote in Kamala as a symbolic gesture to show my distaste for the entire process, and, as I explained in the other thread: I respected Bernie Sanders enough to not go against his wishes for his supporters to not use his name as a protest vote. I did not show Kamala Harris that respect. I have done nothing, objectively speaking, to actually support her. If I told 100 Khivers "I wrote in Kamala Harris" with no other context, I am positive that all 100 of them would ask me what the gently caress my problem is. I would hope that c-spam would be able to understand that. quote:That's your mistake, right there. Kamala Harris was not an "option" for president in any meangingful sense whatsoever. The logic applied to a vote for Biden does not apply to a "vote" for Kamala Harris. It's nothing but symbolic self-expression and I have explained my authorial intent. quote:If I had wanted Kamala Harris to be President, writing her name in when she's on the Democratic ticket as Vice-President would be literally the least constructive thing I could possibly have done.

I don't care if it's China, India, a unified pan-Africanist coalition, the Global South unified under the banner of Maoist Third-Worldism, the goddamn Greys from Beta Reticulae. Whoever. Just go and subjugate them. Deny them agency as a population until they've proven themselves improved enough to be classifiable as 'human being' again. Jesus motherfucking Christ.

I think less of a couldn’t than that he doesn’t necessarily believe that.

Idk, maybe there’s a bunch about the guy I don’t know and I’m just speaking out of my rear end, and if so please correct me, but on one of the interviews he did on the promotional tour for it (I want to say the TrueAnon one but there were several podcasts I listen to that had him on) he expressed having had initial support for the Bolivian coup. I could have misheard but I went back and relistened to the statement a few times because it caught me off guard so if I did mishear it then it I was being daft as gently caress. Good book, though i say swears online posted:is it one of those theses like "i can describe all the problems but too scared to endorse revolutionary socialism as a solution" The book seemed more interested in telling the story and amplifying the voices of the victims and explaining the current state of things than it did in trying to solve anything

In the end Utah he seems to be your typical soft left leaning American "leftist" so maybe he doesn't support revolutionary action. But its a book where you have the armed revolutionary groups or supporters telling the unarmed Socialists to arm up, them refusing to do that and preceding to get murdered in mass like I don't understand the thinking of someone that could come away from that book not thinking oh Che and Zhou Enlai were 100٪ correct
