    The more he talks about this topic the less enthused I am about his candidacy. I mean, the alternative is fucking horrible. But it would be nice to have a better choice than between ‘bad and terrible’, at least when it comes to foreign policy.

      And my expectations are rock bottom. All he needs to do is just step back and not take a side rather than proactively support Israel’s genocide. The people who organized the “uncommitted” drives would love to instead organize for Biden, but he just keeps popping into the news to remind them the job isn’t done and he’s still bad on the issue.

      The American people can ignore foreign war crimes in favor of domestic issues. Africa’s got some going on right now that haven’t even warranted a mention in the presidential race. We’d just like to not be proactively supporting them.

        I refuse to take any advice from the people that spent like a full decade shitting on Al Gore and the idea of global warming. No, I don’t care that they pivoted well after global warming was settled science and public opinion started to shift to viewing it as cringe to be a climate change denier.

            They made an episode trying to make up for that where I think one of the secondary characters is trans? I couldn’t tell you the specifics of it because I haven’t watched it, I just remember it being decently received at the time by a fair amount of trans people that I follow on various platforms. Not beyond reproach but not the fucking nightmare that the Mrs Garrison shit was.

              Well before any of that, they dressed up as ladies for the Oscars they were nomated for. Like early/mid 2000s?
