  • I just personally wouldn’t waste my time. I get that there’s a lot going on, and a lot of it very bad, but at the end of the day, the bigger picture is crystal clear to those of us who actively lived through Trump’s awful years in office.

    If a meme is what gets you to vote against yourself, then you were going to do that anyway, just with extra fluff.

    If a meme like this makes someone who claims to be “left” not vote for the (unfortunate) only person on the ballot that will keep whatever little semblance of democracy we have in tact, then I don’t think they are as “left” as they claim to be.






  • TLDR: You should be upset these fucks are spending our tax money on banning an app, instead of using our tax money on more important shit like people living in the streets, kids going hungry in schools, kids being sent to work at the age of 12+, and medical debt being an inch away from us all. You should all be as upset as I am. The fact you aren’t, is very very concerning.

    I truly do not care about the app that much.

    You’re right. It is one of the many forms we have to communicate with each other.

    My main comment point was that they are banning some silly little app instead of addressing way more important things.

    It’s insane that they are banding together for the first time in years (besides when they want to increase their paychecks!) where there unanimous backing from both sides.

    That’s all my comment was trying to get across.

    You have people cheering that these fucks have banded together to get an app banned, but they can’t even agree to feed children.

    “Yeah! I HATE TikTok, this is GOOD news!” But refuse to look at ALL the other issues going on that should definitely be a way higher priority than some stupid app.

    That’s the main point. There’s no hidden conspiracy to find. It’s the fact we care so much about banning an app, but not about more important shit like feeding our fellow citizens and making sure our children are cared for properly.

    Insane. It’s just insane to me we’re fine with our government spending our taxes and shit on this.





  • I don’t understand where you’re getting hung up on the talking to each other part. It’s not some conspiracy? I was describing the app in its form.

    Short video sometimes long video, frustrated person talking about how insane it is to experience the shit we are experiencing here in the states, I agree with frustrated person, I go to comments, I see a great many others who recount their shit experiences, don’t take them all at face value because that would be stupid, but realize that I am not alone in wanting shit to go back to reality. I want actual adults, leading the world, doing the right things. Everyone likes to sit here and talk about complex issues like that means it’s impossible to fucking solve. I can’t believe we have come to this point.



  • Nothing has to be perfect. It just has to work, and mostly work for the people. When it comes to laws, that is.

    Now, let me understand you clearly. You still think that banning some silly little app, where probably in your opinion (since I take it you don’t use it for the “debatable” part) it’s just a bunch of people doing challenges or dancing or whatever silly shit you have in your mind of what’s on there, but you don’t seriously think there are just a little more important shit going on right now than some stupid app, who’s only authoritarian reach on me in the last 4 years is the stupid ads paid for by the shitty companies here in America, like KIDS being told that since they can’t afford to pay for their lunch, they don’t get to EAT!?

    And you’re worried about a fucking APP?!

    Holy. Fuck.
