That’s definitely not why people use Chicken Little as an Aesop. The lesson is that if you lie over and over, people won’t believe you when it matters.
I certainly don’t.
/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

It’s low priority for sure.
Technically you can grow them with corn, but the US doesn’t do companion planting so 🤷♀️
Pumpkins are pretty low on my priority list, but entertainment isn’t really a good reason to throw useful stuff away. It’s a waste of water, waste of growing space, waste of fuel for harvest and transportation, and obviously a waste of food.
It’s still waste even if the primary purpose is wasteful.
If you remember the lesson of that parable, no one believes the chicken when the sky falls and the chicken has no one to blame but himself. You can’t keep saying it’s the most important election of our lifetimes because we stop believing it.
And maybe the sky falls this time, but it’s the chicken’s fault that we don’t believe it.
Alternatively, the sky didn’t fall last time so it probably won’t fall this time.
We already saw that he didn’t destroy democracy or start WW3. You can credit that to “sane people” limiting him but the fact is that what we saw wasn’t the Fourth Reich. It was just a shitty Republican president.
Unless Trump fucks it up and causes Israel to lose. Unless Trump triggers a popular backlash like he did in 2020 and causes another historical protest movement. Unless Democrats become a real opposition party again and refuse to help him do genocide.
We can’t actually predict what will happen, so I’m just voting with my conscience instead of trying to play 5D chess with my vote.
And I’m suggesting that Harris is not running the kind of campaign that can get progressives to vote for her.
I’m also suggesting that “people like me” probably aren’t very common in the US. For one, I believe we should be giving critical support to Hamas and Hezbollah and Ansar Allah in their protracted people’s struggle against the Zionist settler-colonial entity.
Every Palestinian father is my father. Every Palestinian mother is my mother. Every sibling is my sibling, cousin is my cousin.
I won’t vote for genocide. I won’t. I’d rather kill myself. Just listening to the daily horrors coming from the Strip make me want to die. There’s already catastrophe! So many children starving or getting limbs amputated or being sniped in the head by IOF.
I’ve listened to so many people beg for their lives. I’ve seen so many bodies.
I hate this country I hate this country I hate this country I HATE THIS COUNTRY
Fascism is here. Genocide is here. The catastrophe can not be stopped because THE UNITED STATES IS THE CATASTROPHE.
It’s literally the last thing they said.
Yes it is! They literally said that votes from “people like me” would make a landslide.
That’s a joke. Most of the people like me are fringe and irrelevant. We can’t give her a landslide, even if all of .ml and lemmygrad and hexbear voted for Harris.
She will not get a landslide because she is running a bad campaign. It has nothing to do with a few irrelevant leftists.
Does it look like we’re going to reach that goal? Is Harris running the kind of campaign that can actually obtain a landslide?
Sure sounded like it. I just want to be clear: It’s not going to be a landslide. It’s going to be nail-bitingly close. People shouldn’t lie to themselves.
Does Harris seem to be running a campaign that will beat Trump “in a landslide”? Is that really how the election is looking to you?
Biden is already helping Israel aggress against Iran! They’re the most violent state in the region and the US is enabling their ability to start WW3 by provoking all their neighbors. It’s already a regional war and it’s going to get worse no matter who is elected.
As for Ukraine, we could have already had a negotiated peace deal. Instead, Biden and the Democrats want to fight to the last Ukrainian and so they sabotaged peace talks and blew up the Nord Stream Pipeline. They have no one to blame but themselves for the current situation in Ukraine, and it’s their fault that Ukraine will be in an even worse position when Trump steals the election.
They never wanted Ukraine to win anyway. The purpose of the war was to let Russia bleed itself of blood and treasure. If they wanted the war to actually end they’d have given Ukraine the support it actually needs, but they would never and will never do that.
All of that said? If I really though Democrats were the lesser evil I’d vote for them. They’re doing genocide, marching us to WW3, don’t give a shit about meeting our climate goals, and are happy to let Republicans hurt us to help them win over votes. Fuck the Democrats, death to America, and when Trump steals the election you’ll be on my side in the resistance anyway. Why wait?
The US was founded on settler-colonial genocide. Surely you know Hitler was inspired by the reservations? Read a fucking book.
I voted for Biden because I wanted to stop fascism. I hated America, but I figured the world would suffer from a Trump presidency.
Then Biden did genocide.
The world suffers and fascism is already here. You’re just voting for red or blue flavors. Death to America, I won’t do it anymore.
Anything is better than the garbage. Pretty sure.
