I like sarcasm tags.
Imho you lose a lot of cues by going from speaking to writing.
You have the peak masc username.
I don't see why they're mutually exclusive. Drugs are a form of self medication similar to any others.
The question is which drugs you take, how, to which aim, and doing harm reduction whenever possible.
Sometimes a bit of drugs is what enables someone to have the spoons to do solidarity n_n
And fourth?
Life could be an all you can eat buffet, except every course is genocide.
I don't understand why only one group of people can be blamed.
Trump voters, non voters, the democratic party, etc all have varying amounts of blood on their hands. Be it the blood of Gazaouites, queer folks, immigrants, or simply women.
I really don't get that.
US is one of the world's hegemons. They have disproportionate control overthe global energy markets, financial sector, and so much more.
Pretty much wherever you are you will be impacted by US politics.
And it sucks because the US is increasingly becoming a shit hole country.
The other may have some of their rights taken.
They may also be barred from exercising certain professions and be treated as all around second class citizens.
They may also be barred from life saving medications and procedures.
They will be subject to more violence up to and including murder and it may be swept under the rug.
At least be a bit more exhaustive. And they isn't restricted to queer people. They're also racized folks, muslim, jewish, or simply women.
And while I agree that there aren't many situations which remotely might compare to the literal hell on earth that is Gaza, let's not forget that a lot of other people are in sucky situations which will get worse as a result of that election.
I don't see why it's exclusive though.
First and foremost, Republican voters are to blame.
Voters who didn't make the choice of voting for the milquetoast liberal instead of the overt fascist are to blame.
People who argued for the both sides are the same rhetoric ad nauseam are to blame. I wholeheartedly agree that both sides suck, but let's not be delusional there's obviously one that's worst.
The Democratic party which propped up the most extreme fascists while courting anything supposedly both undecided and to their right instead of all the leftist voters are to blame.
Even if it's conceptually easier to handle, in such a shitty situation there's usually a lot of blame to go around.
Eeeeeeh I'm not going to compare Macron and Harris. She's not been a stepping stool for the R again and again and again.
I was referring to our last legislative election (think Congress if you need an American point of reference). It happened last summer and Left wing voters had to make a coalition up to the socialist party and the greens which are our centrist parties.
A slotted coffee spoon. As much unique as it is useless.
But currently you aren't and the options are damage control or burning the house down...
Soup. Soup. Soup.
