No one said anything about a best choice.

No one said anything about evil being inevitable.

You're still arguing against things no one said.

Where did the OP say you should choose anything? Or what you should be for or against?

Where did the OP say she was a good person? This is what they wrote:

"If you don’t think Kamala Harris would have been better for every one of us you are delusional. Nuts."

Again "better for every one of us" does not mean "things would be good" or "Kamala is a good person."

Yet again- X is worse than Y doesn't mean Y is good.

Assaulting a child is worse than stealing a car. Does that mean stealing a car is good? Do you think that?

None of those were her policies. So if you go off of policy, you do know.

Admitting one person is worse than another person isn't an endorsement of either person.

Hitler was worse than Ted Bundy. That doesn't make Ted Bundy a good person

I have no idea why so many people don't get this.

I knew this sort of thing would happen once the war with Iran started. And I don't even mean these have to be Iranians. They probably aren't. It doesn't matter.

I'm sorry, but this is a terrible idea.

Do you know how few experienced Zeppelin longshoremen there are?

Sadly, I agree.

Public service announcement: "not worse than Trump" and "best president ever" mean two very different things.

Would she have invaded American cities and dragged citizens and legal immigrants into ever-growing numbers of concentration camps?

Would she have imposed stupid tariffs that are basically taxes on Americans?

Would she have gone to war with Iran and then shown she had no plan?

My voting philosophy is the same as the late, great W.C. Fields: I never vote for, only against.

Because honestly, there will never be an electable politician who's policies I truly agree with. Not in America.

Plenty of people, even people who claim to be on the left, would never vote for a woman. Especially not a black woman.

The problem with Sanders, and I say this as someone who voted for him, is that basically all of congress, including the Democrats, along with SCOTUS, would work against his agenda for his entire presidency and he would not get much done. Which sucks.

Let me guess, it isn't the measles, it's the co-morbidities. Like being a baby.

New idea: what if we put the oil INSIDE the Zeppelin?

I've been saying that for years. Israel makes me more unsafe as a Jew than anything else in this world.

As someone who has actually had the blood libel used against them, this asshole can fuck right the fuck off.

They were mostly too busy hating on each other's countries to spend a lot of time saying the N-word. Unless they were off in colonies where there were lots of enslaved Africans. Far, far less of a thing in Europe.

I've watched the original trilogy many, many times, and there is zero indication that Han and Leia were going to be a couple until Empire. Not one line of dialogue even hints at it. And Lucas didn't have control of Empire, so it wasn't even up to him.

How would watching it again change that?

Ambrosia is hard to get ahold of in the states.

In that case, make sure you're around someone with CPR training again next time too.

No. And neither are the straights. Ask any queer person.

And then there's Jar-Jar, who is basically doing a minstrel show routine without the blackface.

The Trade Federation aliens were just clearly racist in the original English version. It was a Yellow Peril situation that should *not* have been a thing in movies in the 1990s.
