I was thinking its more like final destination and death doesnt like being cheated so now its going on wacky hijinks to kill the other Republicans until they let it go back to its original course and kill The Turtle

The UK has an entire holiday based around burning an effigy of a person you hate… I think we should be able to say we enjoy that he is dead to no longer hurt the living.

Imagine all of your comments having the same amount of upvotes immediately like as if you had multiple accounts. But hey using upvotes in Lemmy would also be a hugely childish way to think you won an argument right?

And because I dont care about the updoots that i wont get and just want to make sure you hear it 1 more time. You can absolutely go get fucked as hard as life can.

You are disgusting.

Come on in. The shit is steaming and our eyes are burning and we got every kind of emotional take in the book.

It is ok to ask questions, not dismiss the claims. Blindly believing is not a good place to be in either direction. People shouldn’t assume its real or fake but be deciding how to move forward and get what we need despite it.

This thread is full of bad takes, agreed. But I would rather it not get simplified to that when the reverse is happening as well.

Gross. So you want to continue the tradition of hating on victims because of a past incident that allows you to think they earned it…

Really fucking gross.

So you see cruelty and decide you should be allowed to dish some out yourself as a little treat to yourself? Yeah that is fucked. I treat people as the individual for their actions and inactions. In this moment and thread, I am responding to you alone and your words that disgust me.

What kindness you show. Such empathy. Really makes me believe you care about anyone.

And neither does your comment.

I was told that. I was also questioned a lot by lots of people and ignored over and over. Your take isnt helpful like you think it is and won’t hear it because you want to think its good for victims.

Comparing people interacting with the story to raping is fucked up. It is not helpful and you silence the conversations that need to happen even if they are uncomfortable.

Boohoo. People have questions. If you have ever been the victim you realize that those will be all you get for a while. Questions dont hurt nearly as much as people tossing the idea of abuse around like a joke or an easy insult.

Honestly the most disgusting comments seem to be from the people “standing up” for the victim.

We dont come forwards cause people dont like to actually talk about it or deal with real consequences. We have a world not set up for victims to be taken seriously cause strong means right and we dont have space for being sad for them and helping them overcome it. People just want to be “good”. But we can’t talk about what that entails or what to do when people fail to live up to it without extremes.

You know what my rapists sounded like? “Son, you know you are most handsome boy right?”
“Hey, are your parents around?”
“I heard you like to be helpful and are a giver, why dont you give me something.”

You can fuck off.

Fuck you! Dont fucking diminish rape like that to an insult against your perceived enemies. Thats crueler to victims of actual rape than you think and d Lowers the reality of it.

Go absolutely fuck yourself.

My takeaway is always… The people that raped me didnt change. It doesnt mean that they can’t but they didnt and I could continue to hate them for the pieces of shit they continued to be. I could use my past to add to the pile of the present but at some point we have to stop just letting just the past set a whole picture of people and use the present to define them as well. People are not morally singular unlike what idiots think.

I am so tired of people thinking they are being helpful by grandstanding punishment for some rape victims arbitrarily where they think they can enact justice rather than building a world for victims to actually get it. Its not yours to have if you are not the victim.

Its an addiction I guess, as these octogenarian authoritarians decide the only way they will use their power is to hold on to it longer.

If we see them start to deny elections like Trump does we will know they truly will enact fascism before retire and give next generations even a scrap of respect.

Also just one of my favorite bits of the article:

Zoom in: Kiros, a 29-year-old Democratic Socialists of America member backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), was born the same year that DeGette, 68, first took office.

Oh no! What a loss to lose the should be retiree

Anyone else think its wild that they are phrasing it like a “huge loss” when its just another candidate in the same party and just more popular with voters within the party?

Yeah, thats really not what the party is about I would think.

Maybe we should ask what they actually stand for and it is just on us for misunderstanding.
