Hey that’s my girlfriend! We met online and plan to meet IRL later this year, once her grandmother recovers from her surgery. (It was expensive too I had to send her $10K to help out with the costs) Love you Kristy!

[–] moriquende@lemmy.world 59 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Very smart of her to use a fake name on Twitter to prevent doxxing.

[–] galoisghost@aussie.zone 21 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Ha! No. She told me she chose that name as a tribute to her grandma. Who I’ve just found out will need to go into 24 hour care, luckily I can drop my health insurance to help with the costs. Then I’m gonna buy Kristy and I plane tickets to meet up in Hawaii. I might have to sell my car but it’s going to be so good.

I'm also not voting Biden. In fact i refuse to vote neither of them, because i'm not living in US and not a US citizen.

"Refuse to vote neither"

So you're voting both then, I see.

I will not vote for Biden because I live in Poland

[–] frezik@midwest.social 16 points 6 months ago

You should come to the United States, where hot women sleep with you for not voting for Biden. Or so I'm told from the very authoritative OP.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 71 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (6 children)

I, too, am a human American from one of the 49 states which are united and in America. I am from the good state. All other states are weak and feeble compared to the state from which I come. This makes me a superior human. Obey my justified commands.

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ever look at a map? There are only 48 united states. The big one and the series of islands aren't touching the others so they aren't united.

For those choosing not to vote for Biden, voting for a genocidist in a US federal election doesn't put blood on your hands.

This isn't fabricated consent (I mean it is in that lumpins are told to believe they chose the government when they didn't).

Here's the thing: The office seat will be filled whether or not you vote. And you get one non-transferable vote.

This means you get to vote against the worse popular guy by voting for his most likely contender.

It's the trolley problem, only millions are voting on the position of the lever. What we cannot do is move the lever out of position.

It's still up to you. Taking action is harder than not taking action, but we are staring down Project 2025, the neutering of elections in the US and one-party autocracy (the Republican party), which will also speed up the dismantling of civil rights in the US. If you don't want that to happen, please consider voting against Trump and any other Republicans down ballot.

Yes, it sucks the US is reduced to this sorry state.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 21 points 6 months ago (5 children)

I'm just disappointed with people pretending to be against genocide while bothsidesing an overtly racist fragile demagogue who did a putsch. It's very clear which direction that party is headed.

[–] EmptySlime@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 6 months ago

The ones that get me are the ones that talk about voting 3rd party. A lot of them seem to understand that the 3rd party is not going to win and that their best case scenario is... I guess "Next time they'll listen to us and we'll get a real leftist?" So... Your solution to the genocide is wait 4 years to get someone who will directly end it? Bestie, I don't think Gaza will be around in 4 years. Even if you discount Trump's stated desire to be a dictator and Project 2025.

Or, what happens by the way if Biden wins in spite of them voting 3rd party? Surely it doesn't mean that they've directly proven to the Democrats that they literally don't need that voting bloc?

Also worth noting, this is not mutually exclusive with other efforts! Keep pressuring the Democratic party, keep protesting, keep boycotting Israel-invested companies!

No one is pointing out that her handle has the name "Shah Kushal". Which is as indian as it fucking gets😭

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 17 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (5 children)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shah

Looks like it's actually Persian according to Wikipedia lol

[–] hexabs@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago (2 children)

That's just the surname, but Kushal is a Hindu name. That combination is without a doubt Indian.

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 18 points 6 months ago

I'll take your word for it as I live in one of the US state.

I am real American, live in authentic American warm-water port and how about those New York Yankees Of Baseball Team!
Now that we have established trust with entertainment reference, I tell you that voting for Biden is no good.

All for the counter ai bots say “aye”

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 32 points 6 months ago (6 children)

Like, who would even fall for this stuff? It is so blatantly obvious.

Are there really people who would believe anything just because it has a picture of a pretty lady?

A lot of those kind of bots don't even use ai. They just grab someone's photo on the internet and go with it.

"Wow, the woman they show in this image fits the traditional Western standard of beauty! I will do as the message says!"

...I guess that's how advertising in general works.

Feeling cute, might not vote later

[–] cmrn@lemmy.world 28 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I love how the words they chose to bold were VOTING and BIDEN for their message.

This feels like the way email scammers operate. Send a troll so obvious that reasonable people are pre-filtered out, leaving only the rubes.

I'm not sure why they'd want to do that to influence an election, though

[–] germanatlas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 6 months ago

I bet she lives close to a warm water port

[–] jose1324@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago
[–] Hildegarde@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure she's from the American Capital Territory. It's often mistaken for the only state with the word state in its name so I understand the confusion.

[–] pro3757@programming.dev 15 points 6 months ago

Can't say if you're being sarcastic, but the that account username in the image is definitely of an Indian male.

Hi Amelia,

I won't be voting for Biden too. Nice to meet you.

republicans are still worse because of trump. (foreigner here)

Even non-Americans understand.
