I know how editorial sections work, but you'd think they'd at least check for bald-faced lies. Not out of a sense of decency, but self-interest.

I see you're not familiar with our media
Didn't the NYT mean something at one point?
It did but then Meredith Levien took control of the business and added a hard authoritarian edge to the paper which is showing in all the right wing religious nonsense it has been spewing of late.
It's fitting that the liberal paper of record supported every single war the US has been in, opposed MLK when he was marching, promoted the whole "crack babies pre-disposed to crime" horseshit in the 90s, but evolved to take the correct side that was bad, MLK was good (but civil rights is over, these new guys need to shut up), etc 5 years after it mattered.
Hitler-haircut-having motherfucker
yup. he's one quick shave away from methfurer, bet his password is something hitler related.
his haircut is really reminding me of someone 🤔
I do Nazi what you mean.
It's surprisingly common in some circles and yes I mean Nazis and cops.
Dude’s got the haircut down. All he needs is to trim down that mustache from either sides to complete the “fine people on both sides” look
Reminder that voting does work, because you can set your watch to the fascists voting, and they're getting exactly what they want.
Voting had never worked for me. I've always lived in places with large majorities.
This kind of thinking gets conservative justices power.
Let's take an extreme example.
Does a Democrat vote in Wyoming or West Virginia really make a difference?
Yes. For one when the loser loses the less they win WV or WY the harder it is to claim it was stolen. Let's say Biden got 30% in WV (about normal lol) that's still 3 in ten people. That sends a message and it helps legitimize votes in super blue areas.
Why does he look like a cartoon British man
I was thinking a few strokes of a razor away from looking like a certain fascist.
And I think he knows, and that's it’s on purpose
So people should vote even if it is for Trump?
Yes. Are you kidding? It's a critical role of a citizen
It isn't a role. It is a choice in America. There are no laws requiring you to vote. Not voting can also be seen as a protest of what some consider to be a uniparty. We can prob agree it isn't really the best choice right now, but one that I respect to not overreact to those that advocate for it.
Yes.
If every single eligible voter in the U.S.A. would vote in the next election, Trump would lose.
But if they don't vote, that is okay too cause it is their right not to?
Just asking... The last post that was highly upvoted about this guy was calling for people to murder him and set the campus on fire.
Are you actually just asking? Or are you trying to be a petty little bitch? This guy, if true, is a clown. He voted incorrectly, but I can’t repair the brain damage, but I won’t stop them from voting because everyone should have a vote in the election system. That’s how it works.
Now, say that guy and others are voting to create a new system that takes the system of free and fair elections away from others. Then is it fair to let them implement that system when we know it’s counter to what the actual goal of democracy is? It’s the argument of allowing hate speech to exist in a world of free speech.
Oh, and if people don’t vote.. maybe they shouldn’t be writing a fucking op-Ed about it while talking about politics.
Why are you so upset? Are you afraid his opinion piece is going to influence other people and turn Biden's -7% in the polls into a -10%? Not voting is actually considered a political decision, especially if you feel disenfranchised in a system where neither candidate appeals to you. Democrats complained about people voting third party in 2016. They blamed the Bernie voters that instead voted for Jill Stein for Trump winning, rather than admitting they picked a bad candidate. So again, tell me what it is about not voting that bothers you so much when it is people's choice which you should respect if that is what they decide.
