He is not "a" dude. He is The Dude.

[–] FoolishObserver@lemmy.world 41 points 3 months ago

I heard he went by "Duder" or possibly "El Duderino" for those not into the whole brevity thing.

Vote against the fucking fascists, man!

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 35 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Voting Biden was going to be a vote against the fascists. Voting Harris is going to be a vote for Harris. She's killing it, and I'm actually happy to support her vs just sending my vote to whoever has the best shot at beating the greater evil.

I'm hoping that distinction will translate to some insane activity with voter turnout.

I haven't felt this optimistic about politics in ages.

Recently the UK elected a Labour government in a massive landslide, but polls before and after the election showed that main reason people were voting Labour was to get the Tories out (in contrast to previous polls preceding the last time Labour was elected). This time, it was a clear case of beating the greater evil.

I'm envious of the enthusiasm that I'm seeing around the US election due to Harris, but it's nice to see people's optimism, even if it's bittersweet.

This batch of labour politicians also suck though, unfortunately.

[–] Dr_Fetus_Jackson@lemmy.world 38 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well, that's just like... my opinion too, man!

[–] teft@lemmy.world 29 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You don't go out endorsing a future president dressed like that do ya? On a weekday?

[–] urda@lebowski.social 24 points 3 months ago

What day is this?

[–] urda@lebowski.social 28 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Far out man, think he’s got room for another?

[–] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Fucking A man.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

You know me. I can’t complain.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 22 points 3 months ago

Does the female form make you uncomfortable Donald?

[–] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nonvoters! Fuck me. I mean, say what you want about the tenets of Democracy, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

What's a blue wave, Walter?

[–] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That’s just like… his opinion, man.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

I’m throwing the money, Walter! We’re not fucking around!

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Does the female form make you uncomfortable, Mr. Lebowski?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 3 points 3 months ago

Whaddya need that for, Dude?

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 11 points 3 months ago

I love how he is taking this zoom call in his garage. The place where all dudes hang out.

[–] GCanuck@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (3 children)

No hate, but I’m shocked to see him doing this from his garage. Figured with the a-list money he could afford a house with more rooms.

[–] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

Ya but the rug in the garage really pulls the room together.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

You zink he iss making vit ze funny schtuff?

the garage is the white dude's nexus of power.

[–] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago
[–] caboose2006@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 months ago

Um, technically he's THE Dude.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Donny, you're out of your element!

If you're a white nationalist, you're not just a race traitor, you're a traitor to mankind.

EDIT: Apparently, if you're a white nationalist, you're also a bitch.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What the fuck’re you talkin’ about.

Another caucasian, Gary?

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I wasn't directly responding to you, just sharing my distaste for white nationalists. I'll admit it's a slight tangent.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

That contravenes a number of the league’s by-laws

[–] TunaCowboy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

mankind

What about women though?

Please try to be more inclusive sir.
