*if You Have A Step-dad Or Similar Who Is A Father Figure But Not A Dad You Can Answer For, Feel Free

Just to be clear, I am not actually American. I do not stay up to date on American politics. It come up on the news and I'm like 'that's wild. Anyway-', partially because they don't go into depth and partially because I have better things to do than worry about things I can't affect. I get involved with local stuff but I've only got so much time and energy.

If Biden stood where I am everyone would stare and wonder how the hell that nut job got so far. Then go and vote for someone who will actually try to make the country better, or at least won't be actively making it worse.

I draw the line at actively screwing over the people you're responsible for, at pissing on migrants and refugees, and trying to start a war.

alright gang, let's do a fun little thought experiment.

which city would biden have to completely annihilate before you decide not to vote for him?

for the sake of this thought experiment, let's ignore actual real-world alliances between countries. it can be london, or paris, or athens, or barcelona, or rome, or berlin, or even an american city like new york or new orleans or los angeles or honolulu. this is all a hypothetical after all.

really consider it. if you're gonna bother to yap in my notes, at least try to engage with this question in good faith. imagine opening up the news, and you see that a bomb was dropped on this city, and then the bombs never stop. imagine you had a friend there. imagine you'd had a trip planned to meet them and see the sights. imagine every museum, every historical monument, every theatre, every university destroyed. imagine that one day, you lived in a world where this city existed, and the next, it has completely ceased to be. it's effectively been pompeii-ed out of our world entirely. there is no longer a big ben, or a parthenon, or a colosseum, or what have you. there is no longer that foreign musician you loved from this city. there are no longer sweet old grannies to share old family recipes from this part of the world. there is no longer the online friend you wanted to visit. there is no longer your vacation plans.

don't hit me with, "but it's netanyahu doing this," because israel would literally run out of ammunition in weeks without the US. don't hit me with, "but trump!" because that quite literally is not the fucking question.

which city has to completely cease to exist before you even consider that this system isn't ever going to work?

if you are still planning to vote for biden, then either a) biden could drop a nuke on any city on earth and it wouldn't be a dealbreaker for you, or b) in your mind, people and places are divided into ones that are acceptable to destroy and ones that are not. or at least, there are ones that are more acceptable to destroy than others.

come up with your answer and either realize you sound like a fascist and work to change it, or embrace that you are a fascist and stop lying to us about caring about people of color.

when I was a little kid at some point I got upset with my parents because I didn't have a crucifix in my bedroom and they did- I was like why do YOU get to be safe from vampires??? you're okay with me getting my blood sucked???? so we took a little trip to the catholic store but the one closest to us was run by a group of nuns that had been moved here from romania. I got a little baby pink cross and this sweet old nun was like 'aww, is this a baptism gift?' and I was like no. I need to be protected from vampires. and she immediately got SO serious and was like 'this is the best one we've got, you'll definitely be safe' and since she was literally from vampire land I was convinced she was like, van helsing. like the whole time my parents had been laughing about how cute my fear was but she literally Knew dracula and was taking my concerns seriously I held this over my parents for so long lmfao

Thought of the day: Discussions of whether or not Rhaegar was a bad husband and father to Elia Martell and her children should have nothing to do with your speculations about Lyanna Stark. There is enough uncritical evidence in the summation of Rhaegar's canonical actions to tell us that he was not a good man towards Elia, Rhaenys and Aegon. Lyanna was a teenage girl, and has nothing to do with how Rhaegar, a fully grown man and the Crown Prince, mistreated his wife, and the mother of his children. Lyanna isn't responsible for Rhaegars bad choices.

Ever think about how everything on this planet is equally evolved and that humans are just really weird animals? You're luck other animals haven't figured out pest control yet
