To be in a relationship with Donny-lite, you would have to be a pretty awful person to begin with. I expect she hates brown people just as much as he does.

What are the main reasons they have for not voting in favour of statehood?

I assumed he meant to say Haiti, which is still awful, but at least it would have kind of made sense...poorly.

It really whips the llama's ass

And make sure the IRQs on their sound card and printer don't conflict ?

Dammit, I got trolled.

Again, you're treating both options as if they were equally bad, and they are most certainly not.

You say that both will result in the deaths of innocent people, but you completely ignore the scale. It's like if you had to choose between being punched in the face once, or every day for the rest of your life, you would choose neither, because you don't want to be punched in the face, but while you're standing on your soapbox protesting face punching, the election rolled on, the worse option won by a handful of votes, and now you're going to be punched in the face every day, regardless of what you wanted.

If Trump wins, and you think that you can absolve yourself of any responsibility for what he will do in Gaza, or Ukraine, or for any other suffering resulting from his callous narcissism, then you're just fooling yourself. If trump wins, I will have no sympathy whatsoever for people who refused to vote, out of some sad idea of holding themselves to their principles, while at the same time allowing a literal fascist to take power.

I'm heading to bed now.

No, I'm seriously asking for you elaborate on who you think has done what, specfically, because we can't fact-check you if we don't know what you're talking about.

Perhaps 'common sense' was a poor choice of terminology there, because it's often far from common, or sensible, and I suspect your idea of common sense would differ from mine. in any case.

That said, what I meant by the term was that if you look at the bigger picture, instead of fixating on one aspect, you'll see that there are so many other factors to consider here - woman's rights, lgbtq recognition, racism, sexism, work class quality of life, minimum wage, unions, and so much more,, and that every single one of those would become worse under a trump presidency, for everyone except methheads with guns, and the disgustingly-wealthy. I'm going to assume that you're not in either of those groups.

What the hell is wrong with you ? Seriously.

Well in that case, despite my attempts to educate you, you're simply delusional, and I'm not saying that to insult you - I really want to help you see the bigger picture here - I'm saying it because you're suffering from delusion, and you're not seeing the world for what it is. You are so focused on "punishing" the dems for not blocking aid to Israel (and to that point, I strongly recommend you read the comment below at https://lemmy.nz/post/15784628/11773697 as to why it isn't as simple as you might think), that you're willing to throw away what could be a deciding vote - the polls right now are so even that even a few hundred votes in the right places could throw the election the other way. Perhaps you live in a solid blue state, where you expect Harris to win regardless of how you vote, but when you post comments such as yours on a public forum, other people are going to read them, and be influenced, and if your post makes someone stop and think 'hmm... you know what, I don't agree with Biden's actions, so I'm going to abstain and punish them', and those voters are in swing states, then your actions will have had consequences. Your anger is preventing you from being able to see the bigger picture.

As for your comment that I'm seeing things in black and white, you couldn't be further from the truth. I'm not even an American, so I literally have no vote here, but the outcome of this election will have global consequences that will impact me, and that's why I'm keen for common sense to prevail, and for Harris to win. That's why, all things considered, and despite objections I may have to Biden, or even Harris's policies as they impact the rest of the world, the alternative, where Trump wins another term, simply does not bear thinking about.

You're quite mistaken about that. You will be responsible for trump if you had the option to vote against him and chose not to do so.
