Utterly fucking incredible. No one said anything, posted any memes. He just posted this out of the blue. Just fucking incredible. They will march in to hell screaming at everyone around them for not voting hard enough. Like just what the fuck is this? Who is this for, now, in 2024, after this debate? What do they think posting this bullshit will accomplish? Biden just spent 90 minutes shitting himself on stage and failing to finish sentences and their immediate move is to scold people before they even start saying the emperor has no clothes?

    If they’ve got a platter of shit as an option, their chicken is going to be an E. coli risk.

    The rational response is to say “I’m not hungry.”

    “the chicken is stuffed with butter and then braised in the blood of a hundred thousand conscripts maimed and slaughtered to ensure europe is forever dependent on american natural gas supplies,” the flight attendant says. “it’s chicken kyiv. it comes with your choice of geno-side.”

    Then you take a closer look at the chicken and turns out the thing is rotten, also full of glass and completely unsafe for consumption, so not any better than the other option, you’d be just as sick either way. And so, you logically decide to not take either of these option and after looking the rest of the cart up and down you settle on a bag of peanuts sitting in a compartment bellow the main 2 options, not the best but at least it’s actually comestible.

    But before you can grab the bag of peanuts the passenger just in front grab your arm to stop you. The man has a costume vest, shirt and necktie on top, a baggy pant maintained by strings of bad quality fabric and white socks in flip-flops, your eyes briefly settle on the pins on his fedora, you notice the oh too familiar one displaying a smiling chicken with a shit eating grin full of human teethes and growl mentally in annoyance as the man stare you down with a smug look off superiority and disdain and begin telling you the same thing these types all says every single time:

    “You can’t take the peanuts you fool! You need to take the chicken!”

    You roll your eyes not even bothering to hide your annoyance this time.

    “It’s rotten and full of glass shards, I can’t eat that”

    “Yeah but at least it is actual food unlike the platter of shit with broken glass. Or would you rather have more airline companies serve crap with shards of glass? Because that’s what you’re encouraging by buying peanuts!”

    “How the heck does taking peanuts encour-”

    “THAT’S JUST HOW 2 DISHES TRAYS WORKS, DON’T QUESTION IT AND CHOOSE STRATEGICALLY IF YOU DON’T WANT EVERY SINGLE DISH TO BE REPLACED WITH LITERAL SHIT!!”

    “Even if that was somehow true, rotten chicken isn’t any better.”

    “HOW DARE YOU SAY IT’S NOT BETTER?! HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THESE SCARY SHARDS OF GLASS? AND BESIDE I’M SURE THAT THE GLASS SHARDS IN THAT SHIT ARE MORE SHARP THAN THOSE IN THE CHICKEN AND YOU TOTALLY CAN DIGEST ROTTEN CHICKEN UNLIKE SHIT I’VE READ IT SOMEWHERE WHICH MEANS -”

    Here you go, another fool to berate you all flight for daring not wanting to experience food poisoning. This flight is gonna be a long one.

      Actually, the other way around. We keep on compartmentalizing, Trump can lie all he wants and nothing happens, but Joe stutters and it’s a national disgrace… How can you compare one without including the only alternative?

      Haaaaaaaaa honk-enraged

    The desperate need to always make analogies just to defend Biden is something else. Analogies should only be used if they add something to make understanding the subject easier. But it also assumes the other side is not intelligent enough to understand the subject in the first place.

    You wouldn’t use analogies to explain the newest Quantum mechanics to Einstein. You could use them to introduce them to a person with a poor math/physics background maybe. But at the end you wouldn’t assume the person who “kind of gets it” through an analogy to actualy come out knowing about said topic. You teach an analogy to a kid to help, you don’t make the analogy the entire subject and replace the actual topic.

    So yeah, all these dipshits using analogies are just saying “hey you pathetic manchild that doesn’t understand how democracy is supposed to work, here let me dumb it down for you all why you need to vote for my candidate. So imagine a restaurant menu…”

    What do they expect? A bow and a thank you mr democrat asshole I understand democracy now and will proceed to vote for the person you just told me to. The only response should rather be a punch in their face.

      Yeah I’ve been around the block a few times and seeing any sort of analogy in an argument makes me just kinda disregard it. Just talk about the real thing. It isn’t that hard.

      Secondarily I would say it is not a good argumentative tactic to play in the analogy’s world to show why it’s a dumb analogy. Just reject analogies on their face.

    the chicken is also covered in shit and stuffed with broken glass, but the liberals keep insisting that it’s the better choice because there’s still some chicken in there. somewhere

      Would you rather eat the dish that is 100% platter of shit with broken glass in it or the dish that is 99% platter of shit with broken glass in it and 1% chicken?

        No one seems to care about the crime bill or think that reflects on his character, goals, and core personality and I don’t understand why they don’t care and don’t seem to have ever care.

    not shown in this metaphor: everyone around you who got the chicken is shitting their pants waiting for the bathroom, which is coincidentally where they’re getting the shit for the other meal from

        Therefore you should eat nothing, idiot. And before you start your propagandized bleating, the idea that eating nothing is actually eating a platter of shit is fundamentally nonsensical and was pounded into your head by the people who keep threatening you with a platter of shit unless you eat their shit-covered chicken.

            Given that the US is doing everything it’s power to help Israel carry out ethnic cleansing, it’s safe to say that the fascists have already taken over since a long time.

            But that’s not even the most stupid and/or dishonest part of your comment.

            “neoliberals are like so annoying?”

            Listen. I know that you know that this is not why we are so against voting for the democrats because we keep telling you everytime what our actual reason is, but you also know deep down, weather or not you admit it to yourself, that if you acknowledge the real reason, your position become indefensible, which is why you and other deep shit liberals try to save face in one of the most shameless display of intellectual dishonesty I’ve ever seen by pretending that the reason we don’t want to vote blue is some petty bullshit like “they are annoying” or whatever.

            You sir are a liar and a fraud.

    Then you ask did any of the glass get in the chicken as well and they tell you yes and so you choose to obviously not eat anything on the plane because they’re serving shit with glass in it

      Also the chicken is rotten and not actually a chicken, but a less stinky platter of shit that the attendant insists on calling a “chicken” and if you point out its shit she’ll call you ableist or a transphobe. If you skip the meal she’ll decapitate you. If you decide on a third dish she calls you unrealistic and say you can’t have it
