LWDT 8: Hitting the Marx

[Blargoblarg]

I'm planning to write in Bernie if he doesn't win the nomination.

[Mount Macedon]

I'm planning to write in Bernie if he doesn't win the nomination.

If he endorses Biden and campaigns for him then he's not worthy of that. Better to vote for someone like Jill Stein or stay home and avoid corona.

I'm planning to write in Bernie if he doesn't win the nomination.

Fun fact, if Biden doesn't win then Trump will probably be able to stack the Scotus Conservative 7-2.

You see, the thing about this type of slash and burn tactic is that you're the only one getting burned by it. Oh, and BTW, Biden and Sanders have almost the exact same presidential goals.

A profound misunderstanding of politics. Slash and burn away, now is the time for slashing and burning, and it will take place regardless of your feelings.

Whatever you say Banana.

Very strange indeed.

Anybody else remember IB? I miss her, she was nice.

[Kowani]

Internationalist Bastard? Where’d she go?

Dunno, but she's gone now.

Sad.

I'm planning to write in Bernie if he doesn't win the nomination.

That would seem to be most unwise unless you want more Trump, but your vote is yours to do with as you will.

Because we all know the most reliable predictor of what you're going to do as president is what you're willing to say to get elected president. As if we're supposed to believe campaign promises are legally binding or something.

With Sanders you know he's fought for the same basic things his entire life: basic soc-dem stuff, fundamental welfare state provisions to address the failings of hyper-capitalist America. With Biden you don't even have that, you instead have a guy with a fairly conservative record, who among other things worked to cut social security and supported the neocon push to bring the US into Iraq. Why should I care what his professed goals as president are?

Ah but you see he is good now for some reason.

If? He has no chance. It is over.

[Fahran]

I'm planning to write in Bernie if he doesn't win the nomination.

That's your right but one does wonder on the efficacy of it.

[Fahran]

Dunno, but she's gone now.

Sad.

A shame. I was fond of her.

[The South Falls]

I, for one, would write in Peter Griffin for maximum carnage.

I'd write in someone from NSG if that was my goal.

If we drew a random NSGer, and put them in charge of the US, odds are we'd have an ancap-nazbol government with fully-automated goats in congress.

You mock, but the only way to keep a totalitarian people's state decentralised is for the goatsenate to eat the paper trail.

[Mirial Magna]

Is that... * sob sob*... politics I don't like?
*sob sob*
Oh no, I'm gonna...
I'm gonna...
I'm gonna DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!

What I like is fairly unimportant. My personal preferences don't really factor into this analysis.

I know. I was just doing to cooooom copypasta.

[Liriena]

Yooooo, it's seriously beginning to look like I was wrong to doubt comrade coronavirus. In just a few weeks we've gotten a market meltdown and governments around the world, including right-wing kakistocracies like the Trump administration, flirting with progressive policies, and it's all thanks to this one round boy.

I'm a viral accelerationist now.

Same. Thank you, Comrade Coronavirus.

tfw a Republican-dominated Senate overwhelmingly passes a bill that gives people something close to universal health care (at least for testing), grants paid sick leave and bolsters the welfare state, with the added, delicious cherry on top that the same Republican-dominated Senate bullies the right-wing "libertarians" into submission when they try to sabotage the labour rights in that bill

It feels soooo good.

They also closed the borders.
We are headed into Nazbol territory, and I can't be any happier.
If only these policies were permanent...
