Sure, you want to drive up your vote totals as highly as possible. It's one route to victory. But, should it fail, then, oh well fuck it, let's just ignore the vote.

[LegalLoliLover]

Compare that to literally using physical force to stop legislators from voting. What happens to the vote afterwards is a different story.

I'm not fence-sitting here, it's just that having an opinion on American elections in particular seems kind of pointless, like having an opinion on the story of porn. The tragedy is that there is such a thing as real democracy. You can say people are stupid and will make the country do stupid things if listened to, but the governing body is already doing incredibly stupid things anyway. The democratic government's job is to interpret people's stupid ideas into a compromise of some sort with their expert understanding, instead they're interpreting ideas of unelected state officials that are outside of their expertise anyway. You can say people are guillable and uneducated but that's because America made it that way, their education system sucks by design.

Americans used to have democracy at the highest level. Until they figure out why they no longer do, and a miracle happens that somehow changes that, their political opinions automatically become absurd to read, like a blind person criticizing your attire.

Welcome to what I thought about American problems until 2016 and go back to thinking now.

WTF are you talking about?
1) I thought that sad panda was exhentai. What does that have to do with Twitter?
2) Who the hell uses Twitter to jerk off?
3) 3 pages? In a VN? That's not a useful measure, depending on font type and size.
4) Set up? The load time? No, you wait until it's finished loading.
5) Not sure why you're talking about boners and "libs" in the same sentence. Are you being figurative in the former? And as for "libs", when have I ever used that word (barring quoting others)? I'll wait. Unlike most, I know the difference between true liberalism and leftists' soft totalitarianism.

1. Didn't Sad Panda die last year?
2. Plenty of people, trust me.

The internet is a horrible, horrible place.

It wasn't back in the early 10's and late noughties. iPhones and Android ruined it because anyone could get in, no effort needed.

Let's just cancel democracy altogether! That'll fix it!

China doesn't let you vote. The US lets you vote but they do nothing to reflect that. Russia changes results afterwards so that the incumbent party wins, Germany has only one electable party. France is too afraid to vote anything that is not continuity and the UK always votes with their fists and not their brain.

The springtime of freedom, my friends!

Venezuela urges us to vote but pursues and cripples the opposition so for all intents and purposes we have to vote the government or figureheads the government manipulates into acting as 'the opposition'.

1) It was resurrected.
2) It's more efficient to fap to artistic nudes in a museum. I don't see why people put in the effort for Twitter.
3) Not sure if sarcastic.
4) Thing is, of all those examples, the US is still the "best". Doesn't mean that it's perfect or even good, just the best alternative. Like how that information dealer in the Buzz Lightyear TV series said that he was the "nicest on Tradeworld". Doesn't mean that he's nice, just that everyone else is meaner.

For about 48 hours, yeah.

[SteelBeowulf]

You people need to stfu about sad panda before another foul play is at hand.

melania's cutting her losses

Good for her. On the other hand, fuck her, too - she's not just complicit in all his actions, she actively supported them while he was in power.

[SteelBeowulf]

I wonder how long he would be relevant in most discussions here after he is out. I had a feeling he would be a political boogeyman for a decade to come.

We knew this was coming from day 1. Remember this pic from the first day?




It's been obvious that she was gone the minute it wouldn't be a national scandal for years.

You had a 2-week long nervous breakdown because some Confederate statues were torn down

That's not about politics. I'm a sculptor, I take defacing of any sort pretty personally.

I mean it was somewhat about politics that made people do something so universally bad, but mostly it was about mob mentality in general.

Being opposition is easy since you can just point out errors in the running party but need not do shit to remedy it. You promise you do, but once you get the power, you will just keep the status quo.

But at least the people are okay with it seeing how they are still obedient and not try to overthrow the government.

[Wallacia]

should we cancel the prophet mohamad cuz he was a warlord into lolis and enslaved people? the irony being is that, there is no ''stop'' once you start reviewing/cancelling historical figures.

[AAM1232]

Cancel history instead. Can't cancel anyone historical if you don't know who they were.

Cancel history instead. Can't cancel anyone historical if you don't know who they were.

Do people even know history?

mob mentality

I'm the type to exterminate the peasants to protect the witches. Unfortunately, there are those who disagree with me. There are actually those who think that Dracula was in the wrong for wanting to avenge his wife in Castlevania. Crazy, right? Unfortunately, not all witches can be as pleasing to all cravings, as Dies Irae's Rusalka, but I digress.

[Mattias]

It's really weird how much you keep going on about the totalitarianism of communism, yet keep saying things that sound really Stalin-ish.




Or am I just missing the joke? Is this whole thing a work? Are you Sasha Baron Cohen under all those lolis?

[Dullahan]

I am begging you please just read a book

[Ratman]

hey he's read books at sadpanda

and eroge, as opposed to nukige
