I'll tell you, but it's easier to explain why I voted for said individual if you watched Game of Thrones.

Did you?

Maybe 5 or so seasons. Just spit it out already.

It's been one post...

I went with Warren in the end.

Cause she's none of these.

Dishonest framing of your critics aside, if you choose the smaller dick instead of fighting against being ****ed, you're allowing others to get ****ed for generations. Sure they might be getting ****ed by perpetually smaller dicks but we all know how the dick pendulum swings in this place and even if it doesn't swing like that, the molestation is still present.

Whoever told you that this incredibly flawed reality is the only way to exist because alternatives are ambiguous was using you.

What about actions that people can take to make the changes they want to see that exist within the reality we have? Moving in the right direction is cool and all but I'd rather see real action and maybe an end to state committed atrocities of all sorts before I die instead of hoping that it might get better in a few hundred years. The latter clearly has not worked so far.

All that still allows for centrists in perpetuity cause money talks and bull**** walks. And corporations have more money than you.

I say that worker organizing has to work at some point or there's simply no point to any of this and the best we can do is Swedenism and you all can do that without me and I won't be an enthused convert anyway. So radicalized union organizing that doesn't acknowledge their bosses as legitimate authority is the only end result I can see having any desirable end goal.

I'm still curious on the GoT angle did you think Warren was going to be a d*ke khaleesi or what

It's not dishonest, I see him as thinking my willingness to work with the reality on the ground is somehow beneath his. I think the same thing of you.

I've worked on three campaigns in my life. I work for a clean energy group now that lobbies against utilities, fossil fuels, and for things like rate-payer funded solar farms, emissions taxes, and the elemination of peaker plants.

I work within the framework that is. I don't hope for a reality that isn't. I don't assume I matter in the grand scheme of things. It takes groups to come together and push for things. But I'm not going to not vote just because Biden isn't the candidate I want. I vote for Biden, I go back to asking for what I want, in the areas I think are important.

If you don't like that, I guess I'll just have to lose some sleep over it.


I think she's Stannis.

If you side with the dragons (wealth hoarders) the zombies (rednecks?) will kill enough of them so that you can give an impassioned speech to overcome the remaining resistance.

I'm still hoping they make her Treasury Sec.
