Comment on What Can Be, Unburdened By What Has Been

  I’m just curious what value calling either of them those things brings to the conversation. Tell me. Which side are you on? Who are you voting for? You going rogue and voting third party? Or are you gonna vote for the cop or the felon? Or, maybe you aren’t gonna vote at all, you rebel. So, tell me. What’s your poison?

    I’m gonna vote for the cop.

    The value is pointing out how utterly hypocritical republicans are. Here they have a chance to vote for a cop over a felon, but they won’t. They’ll vote for the felon because they’re in a cult.

    I’m not a fan of cops, but I’m even less a fan of felons. Especially rapist felons.

      Well, at least your heart is in the right place. Maybe, though, you shouldn’t minimize the only chance this fucking country has at surviving the next 4 years by taking the reductionist view and calling Harris “a cop.” Just something to think about. Maybe she can be more if we give her the chance.
