This is like a quintessential meme, what on earth do you think a meme is?

Hank is grinning cause he’s hoping the people will do anything for 3.5 years. He’s then frowning because after not doing anything for 3.5 years the people talking about the duopoly and third parties chose the laziest option of voting against their interests in the only time in the last 4 years when the conclusion was actually forgone.

But… Free school lunches benefit the majority in a very similar way that universal healthcare does. By your own logic you should be rioting for free school lunches. What on earth are you on about?

When violence is witnessed, one fantasizes that it is always unjustified.

You’re free to control what your kids eat even if the school provides free meals.

Who is Jane Fonda.

To your exact point about us being biased because we pay more attention to politics. I think people who wait till 72 hours before to decide don’t do so because they are politically ascended and have chosen to wait until 3 days before to make sure all of the facts are in on either candidate’s political positions so they can fill out their voter decision matrix to calculate the exact candidate for them.

Of course not. They wait until 72 hours or less because they haven’t given a single thought to the election and are just going to vote based on their gut feeling at the last minute. Unless a debate happens the day before election day (I want to see that happen lol) it’s in and out of the political consciousness too fast to matter. The same voters who don’t make up their mind until 72 hours before are the same voters who debates don’t affect in the slightest. The venn diagram overlaps.

To my initial point. The reason for a debate would be the old school reason of actually having the candidates posing hard-hitting good-faith questions to each other to show why their side has thought about the arguments and the issues more. That hasn’t happened in decades though of course.

I mean, Donald Trump’s a chicken and everything but he’s right. All that a second debate would do is have Harris wipe the floor with him. And that would be fun to watch but I wouldn’t be watching the debate to see which nuanced point each candidate is bringing to the table and to make up my mind on whose foreign policy positions are better so I can finally decide who to vote for.

Trump looks so young in this photo, I forgot.

Maybe, but why not do one hobby for work then have other hobbies that you do for fun? I would much rather grow to kind of hate pottery at my pottery business and still play an instrument and bake pastries in my free time than despair in an IT job and bake pastries and do pottery in my free time and figure that instrument dream will just never happen.

Unfortunately, “Business as usual” in our political climate, is a pretty conservative sentiment.

I get that you’re saying Cheney is just making a rational decision but it doesn’t contradict the Op’s point.

Pessimism is easy and makes you feel smarter than everyone without having to try anything yourself. It’s kind of a win-win for your ego I guess.

I watched it a while ago, but from what I remember it’s partly that conservatives are not very creative. It’s an old bit but it’s true that lots and lots of mainstream conservative pundits tried to make it as writers in Hollywood, or at least as comedians before failing and turning to right-wing grift and money.

Another point is that political comedy, by its nature, has to express an political opinion, or else it’s not “political” comedy. The left wing can do this easily as a lot of left wing problems tend to punch up to the rich or to corporations. On the other hand, the political opinion a lot of conservative comics find “funny” is the fact that they hate women and minorities.

Unfortunately for them, the country is a little too WOKE to do black face anymore so they have to try to obscure that opinion with weird contrived bits. Bits so contrived that they end up having to spell out the joke at the end about how the funny part was that they hate women and minorities. (There are clips of this in the video). That’s a double whammy of bad comedy because it’s already a shitty premise and it breaks many rules of comedy such as punching down and explaining the joke.

A natural progression historically. If war ever ends for Israel netanyahu and a lot of his regime will face massive consequences. As is the fascist playbook, the state must now constantly be at war

Dems can’t dig too much into their talented and passionate base. They have to find waffling liberals more interested in keeping the status quo.

Still so much better than anything the Republicans could muster but don’t be fooled.

Peloton is designed for rich people. They don’t say it explicitly because thar ruins the illusion, but the bike is meant to be a status distinction. You may only own it if you’re eager to be seen as someone who spends too much money on an exercise bike.

Yeah we’re baffled about how kids get sucked into worshipping Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos, but I remember a brief time in my life when I thought Steve Jobs was the greatest and that he singlehandedly invented the iPhone with a rusty pair of pliers and gumption.

Idk it kinda seems like they did her dirty.

Not me, but it would be fun to live 3 times.

I love you even though I don’t know and never met you.
