You forgot the big part that drives these people to consistently vote against their own interests: they've been told certain groups are the reason they experience difficulty and discomfort and, if elected, their politicians will punish these people.

I was starting to forget why I have you tagged "Insufferable Pedant" in Voyager. Thanks for the refresher.

If you’re going to give it, you have to be able to take.

Word is President Piggy has no problem giving or taking.

Cheap land, dry air is good for evaporative cooling, and many arid areas have a surprising amount of ground water. It ultimately comes down to being the cheapest option, not the smartest or best option.

They're taking pointers from the Israelis.

Start putting criminals like Trump in prison!

His name better fucking be Mario.

Many Americans have a weak grasp on even the most basic details of their constitution. During my stay there, I heard "free speech" improperly being used as a defense by people of many different backgrounds.

My semi-secret conspiracy theory adjacent theory is it's intentional. That not all, but many, of the Democratic national party is in bed with the same big businesses paying off Republicans, and they're prepared to pull a Hindenburg and install the very fascists they claim to resist once they can no longer hide their betrayal.

If you think spewing mostly fabricated, irrelevant nonsense is dominating, then yes. They absolutely dominate.

Edit: ooof, that post history

I totally understand the point most of them are trying to make and agree with the sentiment, but they're fucking morons. 100% absolute jibbering idiots.

This is an ugly binary choice here because the United States electoral system is a steaming pile of horse shit. Do what I, your friendly neighborhood lefty, am doing and swallow your pride and vote for center right Joe Biden because he's leagues better than the dementia-addled, fascist Cheeto Benito. Then take all the disgust you've built up by voting for and living with another neoliberal corporate shill presidency and work your ass off to make sure we don't have to keep voting between Dumb and Dumber every fucking election.

Do it because we'll only be gently tiptoeing to the right under a Biden presidency, so it's less likely you'll end up in jail for discussing the "wrong" political ideology while that orange shitstained merkin would have me in jail just for writing this were it up to him. Don't make it up to him.

Aww shit. I have a health condition so my wife is extremely likely to outlive me, probably by decades. I should start recording videos for her.

Or should I? I want her to move on after I go and I don't want to interfere with that. Dying sucks.
