Andy Beshear, you are a monster for this, and if there is a hell, you will burn in it.

i wonder if democrats will still vote for him in a re-election after trump leaves office considering that democrats were willing to accept a genocide to make a cop the president.

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 week ago

Of course they will. They will vote in republican democrats to save democracy whatever that means. Just keep checking the blue box don't think about it too much. Orange man bad.

"Vote blue no matter who."

Every time I hear a (typically well-off, middle-aged white person) say this, I experience something that's rare for me: I actually want to strike them.

They've already transitioned to copium that Trump can't run again and only he is popular, not his racist, homophobic, imperialist policies.

Which is why it's fine, they'll run a Biden reskin or a Hillary reskin next time too.

When he leaves office? Bless your heart.

Vote blue no matter who.

Oh you don't want to vote for literal republicans? Sorry bub, this is a purity test that goes to far for the democratic party!

Don't let perfect get in the way of good (voting for republicans).

Choice A turns out to be an asshole who calls transgender care elective.

Choice B openly says transgender people should be turned into cat food.

Take all the time you need.

"But I'm being oppressed under democrats"

"We will let the other guy torture you if you do not comply(well actually it entirely depends on what white cishet people vote for), and our core base will say you deserved it for not voting hard enough."

When someone says 'your money or your life,' the fact you don't like either option doesn't change your options.

[-] macabrett@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

Now imagine a scenario where if that thief takes your money, you will die relatively soon anyways. Now you understand the third option!

Someone saying "your access to lifesaving medication or your life" is functionally the same thing as them saying "your life (slow) or your life (fast)"

'You're underselling this systemic dilemma by comparing it to being robbed at gunpoint.'

This fucking server.

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

As we all know, systemic forces can not be worse than being robbed at gunpoint.

You do understand that fucking holocaust survivors have called this anti-trans push genocidal, right? Democrats who are also pushing it are also pushing extermination.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 week ago

Keep pounding the table about what a bastard Beshear is for doing this - that'll totally prove me wrong when I mention what a bastard Beshear is for doing this.

The immediate alternative was still worse. Unless, as we all know, an anti-trans push cannot be worse than denying medicine in prison.

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The immediate alternative was still worse.

This is right after the election.The immediate alternative is that democrats don't fucking cave on whether they should take part in genocide, when taking part in that genocide is actually incredibly unpopular with voters.

Nothing should surprise you coming from the party of genocide

Vote this clown out (when you can).

[-] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago

He's in Kentucky. If he wasn't at least close to centrist he wouldn't have won in the first place.

"The Democratic governor said he is against inmates “receiving better coverage and health care than a law-abiding citizen.”

Then get better health coverage for your citizens you jackass.

If someone is in prison, IE, in the care of the state, and unable to choose their own paths, the state is therefore responsible for that person's well-being. In other words, the state is morally mandated to give that person food, medical care, etc.

If you don't want inmates "receiving better coverage and health care than a law-abiding citizen", fucking get law-abiding citizens, you dicksneeze!
