This would make a fine campaign ad.

@davew It's more like she's offering a hunk of wood with nails in it, vs. a platter of shit with bits of broken glass, tbh. I would much rather have a nice wooden log and maybe we can remove the nails, and you know, it won't smell or make me sick... but neither is edible. Oh and the log is also supporting genocide, which makes it a tougher call. Rooting for log with nails, just to be clear. Go log with nails. Yay log.

God I wish this were that simple. I really do.

@davew Nice, I got blocked for this. Fun times. Luckily, you can all still see this even if OP can't.

Folks, the truth is really difficult. It's not easy to talk about this stuff, but we've gotta do it. We've gotta do it better.

It's more nuanced than these sports teams we call political parties, it's more complicated than the evil orange criminal versus dark biden.

You've got a whole generation of young people who would never vote for Joe in a million years because he can't figure out the right thing to say about killing children. I don't envy him—this is a really difficult situation. But we've gotta stop with the sound bites and start admitting that it's not simple.

Start with your neighbor, or your fellow mastodon poster. Not everyone who doesn't see black & white is against you. We've gotta get past this block if we want to move forward.

Peace.

@trisweb @davew He blocked me too, and I at least I *thought* I was agreeing with him.

I guess he just doesn't like conversation. :-P

Yeah, Dave Winer is notoriously easily offended. I’m not good with people either, so I get it, but I don’t think he realizes he’s not good with people. 😄
