George Takei  šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆšŸ––šŸ½Aug 19, 2023

I remember the 2000 Election. There were enough votes for Ralph Nader to hand the election to George W. Bush.

I remember the 2016 Election. There were enough votes for Jill Stein to hand the election to Donald Trump.

In 2024 the Green Party is running Cornell West. Letā€™s not repeat this history, friends

Your vote is not a marriage. Youā€™re not choosing a life partner. Itā€™s a chess move for whatā€™s best for the country and the world.

@georgetakei Yeah. Either vote for the guy on trial or the guy who should be on trial.

@MarkusDude1000 @georgetakei

Does your quip refer to Trump & Biden?

Iā€™m aware of the 4 indictments against Trump, having read the grand jury indictments. Iā€™m not aware of any grand juries investigating Biden, let alone charging him.

If youā€™ve got evidence that a grand jury, you know, ordinary people registered to vote, would find convincing enough to charge Biden, then please, bring it to the appropriate prosecutor.

Otherwise, Iā€™d counsel against this style of quip.

Perhaps youā€™ll take some time to read this analysis - I found it enlightening.

I view your toot, with the cartoon, as #propaganda.

The economics of "Rich Men North of Richmond"

It made some good points, and some not-so-good points.

@JoeStewart I guess if a cartoon lampoons a conservative, it's opinion, but if it skewers a Democrat it's propaganda. Read the overlong article. Nothing particularly new or compelling (I know the left's positions on welfare, high taxes, and unions). Odd that he characterizes the lyrics as right-wing and then admits he agrees with most of the sentiment.

Youā€™re placing your cartoon standalone, independent of the thread in which I asked you to charge Biden with proof suitable for a court. IOW, your response to show proof was to double down with slurs.
Thatā€™s #propaganda.
Thanks for reading the overlong article. Turnabout is fair play - you offer something reasonable and Iā€™ll read it.

Itā€™s no secret that black Americans are struggling to recover under Biden. Despite Democrats repeatedly claiming to be the party of minorities, thereā€™s a pattern emerging. Under Barack Obama, the pain...

So you give me an unreliable, right wing political commentary site? Really? Ok. Iā€™ll read it.

Ad Fontes Media rates PJ Media in the Hyper-Partisan Right category of bias and as Unreliable, Problematic in terms of reliability.

Ok, I read the article. It cites itself, JustTheNews and Fox as itā€™s sources.
Dude, you had me read #propaganda.
Do better.

@JoeStewart Oh, c'mon! You know Bidenflation has reduced real wages and if it hits white Americans it hits black Americans even harder. Why do you think RCP average of "on track" is 65% in the negative? And spare me the ad fontes b.s. Might as well throw out SPLC disinformation. Seems like the media darlings of the left have to do the retractions. Russia Collusion, anyone? Covid analysis, anyone?

You persist is deflecting, which is tiresome, truly.
You slander people then pile on slurs and then the, ā€œIā€™m the victimā€. Puleaseā€¦..

@JoeStewart Not sure how my stating that the article was just the usual regurgitation of lefty themes. And was self-contradictory. Perhaps the "overlong" was the slur?

I was responding to your cartoon post - it was simply multiple slurs. I asked you to pony up proof to substantiate the cartoon claims that would stand up in a court of law, otherwise those claims are simply slurs. Hence, #propaganda
