  • It’s stupid only because they try to rationalize it.

    Comics Thanos just wants to commit genocide so his crush notices him. That’s also stupid, but he’s a big purple space alien so what can you expect? Using a magic space glove powered by stardust and wishfish to kill half of all life as an incredible gesture of his devotion to Death makes internal sense.



  • You’re starting from a flawed assumption. It’s more like “Oh boy, the DNC made the decision to ditch Biden and run someone slightly progressive, how exciting,” to “Why hasn’t she called it a genocide, is she going to be any different on Israel than Biden,” to “Why do they keep insisting the economy is fine directly to the face of people who are currently suffering,” to “Why did we even bother ditching Joe Biden if Harris isn’t going to make any changes from him,” until finally “Liz fucking Cheney? Seriously? Fine, just tell me to fuck off before you take my $20 next time.”

    I think a lot of people were very invigorated to vote for the Harris/Walz ticket when it was first announced, and then little by little that energy was whittled away.













  • RBG was 80+, had cancer, and was likely to die in office.

    Sotomayor isn’t a spring chicken, but just turned 70 this year. That makes her a full 17 years younger than RBG was, nearly two decades. It’s pretty likely that Sotomayor will be able to live for another 8 years at least, and likely much longer. Yeah, you can make the argument that maybe the U.S. won’t have elections anymore and this may be the last chance the Dems will ever have to appoint a Supreme Court Justice, but I think there’ll be bigger problems to worry about if the U.S. stops having elections.
