Yeah, I also can’t stand it when words are used to convey meanings they’ve had for roughly five hundred years.

Etymology of "ouster’

If they’re losing so many electrons, they must be pretty positive by now.

You sure about that?

Thanks for doing that, they’ll probably be sorted out by 2026!

The only criticism I have with that is the transfer of campaign funds. Harris was able to take control of the war chest immediately. That’s the one justification I can see for giving her the nod.

As if they’d let you secede.

I almost feel like I’m being contrarian by asking this, though it isn’t my intent: your alternatives sound great at first blush, but how do you intend that those alternatives are enforced? Does that lead into your estimated >1% of offenders?

I like “infintiny” as a replacement for “infinitesimal”

If trees aren’t real, how can our birds be real?

…I am so sorry

The birthday problem fits into this somehow, but I can’t quite get there right now. Something like an inverse birthday problem to illustrate how, even though the probability of two monkeys typing the same letter rises quickly as more monkeys are added to the mix, and at a certain point (n+1, where n is “possible keystrokes”) it is inevitable that at least two monkeys will key identically, the inverse isn’t true.

If you have 732 people in a room, there’s no guarantee that any one of them was born on August 12th.

There’s another one that describes this better but it escapes me.

We’re gonna need a bigger sedan…

As predicted, rationalization.

To be fair…

…to the injudicious enabler of fascists, it is pretty shitty to suggest “I hope they come for you first,” even if the point is meant to be “you helped make the bed, so I hope you’ll be on the early access list to lie in it.”

Might be a little better to say, “I hope I can stop them from rounding you up even though you didn’t vote to keep them from being able to try.”

So, you’re going with “coward” over “shill”? Good to know.

So here’s the thing, by not casting a vote for the only other candidate who has any chance of winning this election, you are inarguably benefitting the other guy. It’s simple, it should be self-evident, and if you’re having such a hard time understanding it, then that either makes a statement about your ability to evaluate the reality of a situation or casts doubt on how much you really are against him.

Of the two options on the table, and once again there are only two options in this election, any voter who is opposed to the idea of a would-be fascist dictator should be casting a vote for Harris.

You can’t “punish” her by withholding a vote, you can only make a Trump victory more likely.

Read that last part again, because you need to understand that it is a statement of the actuality of the matter at hand. By refusing to vote for the only other viable candidate, you’ve bolstered Trump’s chances.

Protesting policy before the election is secured makes as much sense as it does positive impact. Which, to be clear, is none.

I’m sorry for you that you’ve let your temper tantrum towards the admittedly shitty DNC blind you to voting in the best interest of yourself, your neighbors, and the country as a whole. It’s unfortunate for you, if you hate him so much, that you’ve facilitated him through your misplaced attempt to really show the dems you mean business. I truly hope that Harris emerges successful from this election, and that your mistake doesn’t expedite the fascist agenda.

If she does become our next president despite the best efforts of misguided fools, I additionally hope that you will spend similar amounts of effort pushing for meaningful reform in both policy and the administration of our elections as you do maligning the only candidate other than Trump who has a chance at the presidency.

But I’m doubtful.

If you honestly think everything would be the same under either candidate, there’s more to address in your apparent divorce from reality than I or anyone else have time to entertain before Tuesday rolls around.

Good luck in life.

Good on you for remaining hopeful! In cases like this, though, the ignorance is willful. They know how absurd they’re acting. Once the conversation goes past the point of their ability to just be obstinate, they abruptly cease responding.

Is that supposed to be the strange insult?

Oh man I don’t enjoy being that guy right now but for the love of all, It’s CUSTOMERS. Costumers are people who work in dress-up.

I’ve only seen this in the past few years, but it’s become such a common mistake. I don’t understand it.

Sorry, I mean you’re making a salient point about the lack of a license and all. Even so, if he’s been caring for the squirrel domestically for seven years, where do they think the supposed rabies would have come from? It doesn’t just manifest.

“Rational thoughts”

“A vote for a third party candidate in an election with two viable candidates doesn’t benefit the party I’m least aligned with.”

Choose one. Both can’t be true.

Ah, shit, I forgot… you lot are awful at understanding how binary decisions work.
