    By all means, keep reminding everyone that Hunter Biden is a fuckup.

    It'll remind them that Joe Biden loved and supported his son through the depths of addiction, the way a father is supposed to, while Trump doesn't like being photographed with Tiffany because he thinks she looks fat.

    So Hunter Biden got high. Can you find me someone who has never done drugs? Seriously, you stopped drinking bud light, and that is a fucking drug. As a person who has done a lot of drugs, alcohol is a pretty fucked up and bad one.

    One thing that gets me to not trust people is that they completely avoid drugs because they are afraid of how it will make them act if they lose control. When I lose control I am cuddling fuzzy things on the couch, not flipping my shit and beating others up.

    The worst thing hunter did was get fucked up and take some pictures of himself with some women who have not charged him with non-consensual sex. Sounds like a fun night.

    He doesn't like being photographed with Baron, because Baron is taller and he's embarrassed to have a son who may be autistic. :brood:

    Conversely, Trump Republicans would have less reason to vote in the primaries than the anti-Trumpers because they have no statement to make and expect their candidate to win by default. So I would expect the never Trumpers among PA Republicans to be less than 17%, and potentially shrink further on Election Day as some hold their noses and vote against the Democrats.

    Such a bullshit answer. Party Leader refuses to endorse nominee is a big fucking deal. Would it keep Trumpists home? No. But it can get some of the ‘pox on both their housers’ who will determine the election out and voting for Biden.

    Indeed. The cultists are gonna do what they're gonna do, but McConnell saying "Look, I disagree with Joe Biden about almost everything, but I know him and he's not an insane authoritarian loon like the other guy" would absolutely help keep Trump from getting back into office by creating a permission structure for Republicans to put American ideals ahead of party loyalty.

    He could add "look, we have a 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court and also a major structural edge in the Senate, so even another four years of Biden won't turn the country into AOC's playground" if he had any guts.

    I'm sure that's true, but Biden doesn't need anything like a 17% falloff in Trump voters. all he needs is a minimum of an equivalent amount to whatever amount he himself loses over the Gaza matter. Even if you suppose that NOT ONE Trump voter from 2020 flips (and it's very obvious that there are SOME who will) if, say, 5% or so of Trump20 voters just stay home, that's a massive impact. Particularly since it's the swing states where his vote would be more fragile to begin with.

    Well that and he's so egotistical that his self-image can no longer handle the idea that he has to expand his base - in his deluded mind, he's already got MOST voters in his pocket. It's why he feels free to say any evil thing that pops into his head.

    I'm getting closer and closer to not fraudulently voting for Hunter Biden in the 2024 US election.

    Completely aside from any point but I just might could fraudulently vote in Australia.

    See it turns out Matthew Johnsons and their Gmail addresses aren’t exactly unique. Not only was there one on my school bus but there is one in the upside down who can’t fucking remember his email address.

    It started 15 something years ago with youth basketball.

    Then I got registered for y’all’s elections.

    IMG_1373.jpeg

    At first it was just kinda funny. I’d jokingly write back about wrong Matthew Johnson but as long as they would cover any anti-venom I’d love to come check the place out.

    Then he got arrested.

    And again wrote my email down.

    Now shit is getting real and I’m telling folks a) you shouldn’t be emailing this info about a kid who isn’t me b) you really REALLY should find his correct email address as he needs to be getting these emails.

    But no one listened and I guess all’s well that ends well as apparently in Australia the punishment for stealing is that you have to go to junior college for free. If you graduate it’s all good. So then for the next two years I got syllabusi, grades, heads up about tests… Didn’t matter how many times I replied.

    IMG_1374.jpeg

    This kid has his own damn spam folder.

    Don’t even get me started about his Hyundai that is constantly due for servicing at:

    And uh… don’t want to be too hard on some late 20s/early 30s kid but as someone who has been forced to follow his life and grades these last 15 years… setting aside his inability to remember his email address… but just… I’m glad Australia has a decent social safety net.

    Not every Matthew Johnson can measure up to THE Matthew Johnson.

    The world needs ditch diggers and they deserve a decent life as well.

    The Australian Electoral Commission is pretty responsive on social media, so if you reached out to
    @AusElectoralCom I bet they could at least look into it for that aspect.

    Oh look, a socialist rooting for the liberal to fail because he wants harm to come to the US.

    Must be a day ending in Y.

    Do you know that I advocated a vote for Biden four years ago? It's almost as if I judge the situation on its merits, not some vendetta against the United States.

    Well, here are the merits:
    It's Biden Vs. Trump. Realistically, not supporting Biden is supporting Trump. So do with that what you will.

    No, not doing that. Trump should be in jail and unable to run for office. It's unfortunate that Democrats saw fit to pursue him more relentlessly (and yet still too late) on charges of petty corruption rather than those of treason. But we know why that is - it would rock the boat too much for a lot of other powerful people, and they can't have that. So the fact that he's in the game at all is on them too and you guys are in a situation where your political system has failed. It's not easy to see a solution, but voting by default for a guy committing genocide isn't it, and the polls show that there is a recognition of that - despite the determination of liberals to wish that little problem away.

    No, we get it. Russia isn't conducting a genocide in Ukraine, but Israel is against Palestine. Because that's what the WSWS tells you.

    Now you'd rather have Trump back then Biden, even though Trump is literally the one who started the conditions that caused this war and absolutely would support glassing the entirety of Gaza so he could put up beach front condos with the Russian money he launders.
