Canada will likely end up in the same situation if we don’t pass proportional representation in time for the 2025 election.
Because… Palestine? Or buttery males? Or because they will grab onto any excuse to sit on their lazy asses instead of voting, and that impulse to do nothing intensifies with a female presidential candidate?
Yes, it is retarded. Almost to the goddamned Middle Ages in some respects. And its’ younger generations are just as stunted and stupid as the boomers they howl against. The deaf and blind screaming at the deaf and blind.
Over events like this, both for US and EU/Europe, the people’s reaction to the pandemic, the wars ect. I came to the conclusion, that there must be two distinct kinds of human.
They can interact, even have children between the groups. But they will never understand the way, the other group is thinking.
From the perspective of group member A everything B does is stupid, dangerous and treason.
Looks like OP could use the reminder that being angry at fascists doesn’t make it ok to throw disabled people under the bus because you can’t come up with words to describe your feelings, however valid, without slurs.
Agree but also the US has gone fully encumbered, saying this as a disabled person
Hey, look, you found a word to describe the situation that isn’t a slur, in your attempt to excuse and justify the use of a slur!
Pro tip: work on your internalised and lateral ableism. Or at the very least, don’t be that person who gives people a pass on behalf of an entire community, because you personally don’t think it affects you or others like you, because there isn’t one.
?
I wasn’t justifying it. I’m legally disabled, I don’t like that word, I was agreeing with you. Fuck your pro-tip and fuck off. Get off your high horse.
I am in the US… still up. Very upset this is happening again, I think I’m going to put on Idiocracy and pass out.
I’m so sorry for you guys. I wanted to go back to bed just to make sure I wasn’t dreaming but I can’t fall asleep now. Makes me wonder if this will be the night with the most insomnia cases ever.
Since when it is okay to use the r-word again? Did I miss something?
By the most basic definition, it means to hinder or impede progress. I think it’s a pretty accurate term today for, SOMEHOW, a majority of the US
Why the need to defend, and really, hold on to the ability to use ableism? 🤔
I really don’t feel like it’s being used like that here though.
Idk I’m Autistic and I don’t personally feel offended (of course I cant speak for all neurodivergant people).
You know, as someone outside the US, I was pretty confident in this election. Harris seemed like a candidate that could stand against Trump in a way that Hillary Clinton never was. I had stopped worrying and even thought the people here were being dramatic in thinking Trump was actually going to get reelected.
Well, there goes that…
Harris seemed like a candidate that could stand against Trump in a way that Hillary Clinton never was.
How? Harris was/is the same centrist neoliberal “hold your nose and vote for her” slop Clinton was.
It’s because after she was the nominee the same campaign team that Clinton had took over. All the good work her team did was for nothing as everything was scraped and 2016 came again
Hillary was the lightning rod of the party for 20 years. If thought that that had something to do with it. There’s something we aren’t acknowledging. There’s a something wrong in the heart of America and its growing, not shrinking. Whatever that emotion that’s driven it, it’s not going away.
Careful EU, it’s contagious.
While I disagree with the wording, I share the sentiment.
American siblings, come to Yurp! Seriously! We like people over here!
I’m one generation away from being able to get an Irish passport and boy do I hate that right now
Eh, it’s not like we’re much better off. It’s just the 1920s all over again, unfortunately.
One side has cute furries and femboys, Lincoln would be proud.
I might have to take tomorrow off of work
Technically today I suppose…
Something is terribly terribly wrong with the American Psyche not being able to elect a woman as president
It’s not over yet, but it should have been a landslide.
I don’t know how to come to terms with the fact that my neighbors would rather have this orange fucker in office then a competent woman.
Nuance is dead…
If you figure it out, let me know. I’m flabbergasted, myself, and I’m here.
Imo it’s first past the post. When there are only two choices, it doesn’t matter how insane one choice is, as long as you’re against the other, you’ll go with the the first choice. Furthermore, the dichodomy favors ‘extremism’, while hindering nuance.
My deepest condolences and I hope you stay safe. :((
Yeah RIP, I’m hoping my country stops working with them.
Let’s saw off Europe and push it towards New Zealand, there is still space in that ocean and no Kremlin nearby, may the US, Russia and China have fun.
Sounds good to me.
I can get around that
The third party barely split any vote, american just literally look at human feces and say “woah, i’m gonna vote for him”.
