I don’t think they misunderstood the context. The user is saying that while the broader point she is making is correct, specifically saying we didn’t have to worry about grocery prices under Biden undermines the message.

Hello neighbor. See you in the paint aisle.

The consequences, obviously. Why do I see comments like this all over the internet?

The poster above was obviously saying they have no moral qualms about killing elmo, not that they are ready to sacrifice their own life to accomplish it. Surely, that was easy enough to understand. So in a climate where a lot of people are venting their frustration and rage about this issue on the internet, why do I see people putting in the effort to give this as a response.

That is the goal in a functioning democracy. That description no longer applies to the US. Our country’s voter base is made up of political illiterates, our new voters get less educated every year, and our elected officials and their oligarch counterparts are running at full tilt in an attempt to normalize and formalize flagrant disregard for our constitution.

You’re right, we should send Bernie to CPAC. Bet he’ll win over lots of hearts and minds.

If the scooter has no charge and the fattest guy can’t get in, doesn’t that make the pictured guy 2nd?

When the writer can’t make it through the very first sentence without speeding right off the rails, there is a serious problem.

Clement Freud said “You don’t live longer, it only seems longer.”

We give a lot of chances to vote in the US. Mail in ballots, early voting, polling places open late. Discounting the tiny group of people who do not have and cannot get proper ID, and the tiny group of totally disabled people with no support system whatsoever, everyone should be able to figure out getting their vote in.

That leaves the people who don’t want to vote. But there is no way around the fact that being unforgivably stupid. Does your vote really matter in our crushingly ineffectual two-party system? Not as much as I would like. But there is an obvious choice between a party intent on dismantling the very foundation of the nation, and one simply content to let it fall apart. Voting for the former assures destruction, voting for the latter gives us time. Voting for neither, is moronic.

My point - Do we think that forcing this group of lazy and/or idiotic Americans to vote would add anything valuable to the political process?

Education is where positive political participation begins. Until we fix that and stop actively making it worse, there is no election reform solution to the festering rot of ignorance and apathy.

sharply criticized Chuck Schumer called Schumer’s decision a “betrayal”

That’ll show him.

That’s both hilarious and pretty much accurate to what color a pH strip would turn if the average person urinated on it, for anyone was wondering.

I enjoyed your comment for a few reasons, but have one question. Did you pick Dearborn Michigan at random off a mental map, or was there some specific reason for that city in particular?
