Fighting pirates has been US policy for over 200 years.

Come down off your high horse, Trumpy.

[–] JackOfAllTraits@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah yes. The guy disagreed with you = must be a Trump supporter.

High horses...

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This guy has a history.

[–] JackOfAllTraits@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

What history? According to memes he posts he is clearly a socialist. Did he said he supports Trump anywhere?

I’ve never voted Republican in my life, and never will.

I wish it wasn't obligatory to clarify: Nobody's a "Biden voter". We're voting against the other guy. Forever. Fuck FPTP.

"Bloo no mattah hoo" Seriously. A Democrat can do the worst of it and you addled lot will still plunge your country and else where in to the a sewage pit to vote for them. Lunacy.

bloo dawgs are rabid

Propose an alternative so I can laugh humourlessly in your face.

Well the other guys a self proclaimed dictator with a published plan intent on dismantling Americas democracy in its entirety while using its national resources to avenge personal vendettas, and the options outside red/blue have never come close to winning, let alone actually doing it.

I'm not even American and that's an incredibly obvious choice, if you can even call that a choice. I definitely don't like Biden, but he's the best America seems able/willing to put forward.

America has been stuck in a cycle of choosing the least of two evils for a very long time now. Nobody likes either option, but nobody (with the ability to effect change) seems to know how to fix this broken system either. (and I'm not saying I do, just pointing out my observations)

Don't waste your time on nirvana fallacy MFers

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's more for those that come across this thread than the person I replied to.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

It's been about fifteen years I've been ranting about the consequences of "first past the post" systems and all of my worst predictions keep coming true and every non American keeps acting like our system rewards simply voting for whom you most prefer.

It does not work like that. I'm sick of explaining this.

Did all of the smart people leave Lemmy?

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, but now that it's an election year the trolls are back in force

[–] harry_balzac@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fortunately it's fairly easy to block them on here...which I've been doing a lot lately.

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The block user option is a godsend when you notice the trolls. Thanks lemmy devs!

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

It's definitely gotten way worse lately.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

Yes. Why are you still here? /s

[–] kebabslob@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 year ago

Reminder thatnot liking Biden doesn't make you a Trump supporter. Reminder that voting for Biden over Trump fucking sucks but obviously must be done given the choices

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure buddy. Whatever makes you feel better about supporting fascism.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Uh… no.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not from the US, but considering trump suggested to nuke a hurrycane in US territory, i think counterattacking actual pirates with conventional weapons is by far less unhinged

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I didn’t post this to encourage voting for Trump, I’m just not excited about voting for Biden.

[–] TheDeepState@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

4 more years!

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

why do the Chinese stand by while international shipping is threatened by terrorists

[–] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago

I don’t know what you’re complaining about, all is quiet on the western front.
