people already wishing we could go back to drop box fires.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Fucking boomers amirite?

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 23 points 4 days ago

From an outsider point of view, the next week is going to be fucking wild.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 131 points 4 days ago

Describing an 18 year old as a "teen" certainly is a choice. And not one commonly made when the person accused of a crime is black.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

wat? Last time I checked, a number that ends in "teen" is a "teen".

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Their point is that standard is only applied to white people.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

Yeah I can read, but all I see is the claim.

[-] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 days ago

The media seems to have no standard on using terms and switches them willy-nilly to net the better headline.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

It's not switched willy-nilly though, it's strongly correlated with race. The "better headline" is "dangerous black perpetrator prone to crime" and "foolish white boy that looks like you and just made a mistake of youth". Appealing to the racism is what makes the headline "better" (i.e., more affirming to the majority readership).

MAGA is a cult and a terrorist group.

Preview of Tuesday.

Vote early if you can.

A teen who understood what Trump meant by "fair" elections

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

Agreed. This is expected and desired.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago

Key displayed a photo taken by a witness of a smiling Williams “brandishing a machete in an aggressive, threatening posture over his head.” The Harris supporters he allegedly threatened are women aged 71 and 54.

As opposed to just calmly carrying a machete, below one's head, to a polling place?

And to a 71 year old woman... just can't imagine the colossal failures as human beings that this guy's parents must be as well.

[-] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 34 points 4 days ago

Each and everyone one of these people deserves the bed they shit in.

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 days ago

The issue is that they make terrible Dutch Ovens and the smells waft.

[-] Mobiledecay@lemmy.world -2 points 3 days ago

Bubba loves when pretty boys go to prison. 😈

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

This checks as being just the sort of 18 year old who would support Trump. They probably have a long list of right-wing podcasts on repeat.

[-] IMNOTCRAZYINSTITUTION@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

gonna break out my most hick outfit when it's time to vote. don't need anyone getting funny ideas.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

My wife and I are Southern socialist libtards and usually vote in camo. We've debated open carrying but decided it wasn't worth the hassle.

[-] oo1@lemmings.world 2 points 4 days ago

If you go too far you might actually dissuade some delta-cuck soyboy libtards from voting.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

So less spoiler effect for Stein? Sounds pretty win-win to me.

[-] oo1@lemmings.world 1 points 2 days ago

haha.

I don't think voting works like that, unless Stein is actually expected to win some EC votes.

I think if USA actually had some form of PR it'd be a very different kettle of fish.
