Utterly fucking incredible. No one said anything, posted any memes. He just posted this out of the blue. Just fucking incredible. They will march in to hell screaming at everyone around them for not voting hard enough. Like just what the fuck is this? Who is this for, now, in 2024, after this debate? What do they think posting this bullshit will accomplish? Biden just spent 90 minutes shitting himself on stage and failing to finish sentences and their immediate move is to scold people before they even start saying the emperor has no clothes?

That's actually a pretty good analogy for why its sensible to choose neither lol.

[–] alvvayson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Indeed.

If you present this option to a full plane, would it really be surprising if half the plane chose to skip a meal?

Would you blame them?

Why do politicians think they are entitled to get votes just because the other option is even worse?

Not an American. If I were, I would vote Biden. But I also fully understand why a lot of Americans won't vote for him.

If half the plane does not vote they still get the meal the others chose and they will get that meal for years to come. And unless they can finance their own "meals" they will have to eat the shit.

And those "others" are dumbass liberals who chose the "chicken", but the "chicken" is also shit. It's a fake choice, you get shit no matter what anyone chooses.

Or...

You could hijack the plane. Saves all passengers from eating shit.

Shut the fuck up

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Or we take over the plane and serve actually decent food for once.

You don't have to defend this system. The constitution is F-Tier slave owner defending garbage. Let's get rid of it

Ok. How does not voting gets you closer to that?

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh fuck off. Go read State and Revolution.

I guarantee you nothing will change if your strategy is to tell people to fuck off and read a 100 year old book.

I guarantee you nothing will change

Coincidentally, the chicken also said that about voting for him 4 years ago.

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

I'm already on the vote plane! I'm just going to skip the "main course" and choose more important things like which soda I want (local elections). It's not like team chicken is literally hiring people to organize against Steak (third parties), nor does team chicken even want competitive primaries as we saw after the pro-genocide chicken defeated less-pro-genocide Bowman this week. I mean, those cluckers claim to want "democracy" and then insult people when the voters get to choose between more than one chicken 🐔!

God this analogy sucks.

[–] TC_209@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

That's not how meals work and just one of many ways in which this foolish analogy breaks down.

[–] Barx@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

Liberals try to understand metaphors challenge

[–] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

No, if half the plane declines the meal then they wait and eat somewhere at their layover/destination. My flight is only 3 hours and the meal is complementary. If you don't like the analogy take it up with dumbass who wrote the New Yorker article and thought it was a clever thing to say in the first place.
