I didn't say they had good opinions or you should get your opinions from them, I said they could be considered leftist. Given your example it seems you agree, at least with your characterization of this hypothetical person as a "tankie".

I’m just saying, if you honestly think the discourse on Twitter or other social media isn’t anything other than utter sewer scum, I need to know which alternate timeline you live in. The “Woke” people on the webs are the most unbearable assholes on the planet. Honestly, I throw their “leftist credentials” into question. Unless I missed that Marx quote about how communism is when you tell white people to kill themselves on social media.

That guy is just big dumb. Remember that assholes exist even in the best political ideologies.

True enough, but it doesn’t change the fact that the people of social media are shitting through their mouths instead of their anuses. And people are eating it, too.

Pence’s Fly is Meteor’s running mate

So the big guy chose his running mate to try and get support from the little guy.

Honestly though, if someone writes in “the fly on Mike Pence’s head”, I will attempt to pay them.

If enough people vote for the fly, can you imagine seeing it on some election coverage? Like, “In Tennessee, 3% of votes were write-ins for Pence’s Fly”. A sort of “Deez Nuts” scenario.

I wish you nothing but luck on that front, but it's going to take a lot of campaigning to get the word out about the fly.

I mean, Fly did appear in an official debate, so that’s a start.

Luckily I hear presidents have great healthcare.

If Carter and HW can live well into their 90s, there's no reason why Biden can't.

Those woke Twitter users who care about women empowerment? Aren't typically friends of the bourgeois either.


Alot of people who focus on one don't focus on the other. Ever wonder why Kamala Harris is being celebrated for her race while her record as a prosecutor is conveniently forgotten?

There is no false dichotomy. Alot of people are willing to overlook personal flaws or political issues just because "that guy looks like me," one case in point being Obama himself.

Very true.

Fun fact: Every POTUS after Nixon has made it into their 90s or is still living.

Gerald Ford made 93. Reagan also made it to 93, though he was suffering from Alzheimers.

And Carter (already 90), Bill Clinton, W and Obama are all still living.

Selling Biden short is ageism at it's worst.
Donald Trump has no clue as to what "insuring the domestic tranquility" means
