    If voting isn’t enough (I didn’t think it is) then do more. Go knock on doors for the candidate that you like. There are a million ways to participate in democracy.

    Love to door knock for Heinrich Himmler.

    These “both choices bad. Better to not vote” people really don’t make any kind of sense to me.

    Hey, listen. I vote every year. This year, 90% of my ballot is going to be blank, because so many of the candidates are absolutely abhorrent. But when I am presented with the Himmler / Hitler choice, I will be firmly bubbling in © None of the Above. I might even knock a few doors and tell my neighbors about how great © None of the Above would be. If I could figure out where to send my money, I could even see myself donating.

    Image being unhealthy and saying “it’s going to take more than a 20 minute walk once a week to get in shape. Better not even do that then cuz what would be the point?”

    Its funny, because I’m picturing you trying to recover from a broken leg with that mentality.




  • We will be more like China

    We won’t be like China. We’ll be more insulated and divorced from Chinese media, culture, and conversation.

    That’s the stated end goal. Bringing up sharp walls between nationalities in order to control the flow of information between people.

    If we keep TikTok open, we risk exposing American young people to Chinese norms, ideals, and social standards. We might even be exposed directly to Chinese mass media (ie, propaganda).

    This is a real security risk, as it raises a possibility that younger Americans won’t accept American mass media at face value.

    chickpea

    • Regular

    • Deluxe

    • Budget Brand

    • Whole Foods Select

    • Fiji Brand Chickpea (not from Fiji and technically not a chickpea but does somehow both ruthlessly exploit foreign laborers and generate ten times its weight in carbon emissions; promises to cure cancer)

    • A single novelty supersized chickpea that sits in a display case and never actually gets sold but kids love to look at.
