Heading Into the Final Stretch of the 2024 Election

A third party president is possible. You can't start with the presidency. Third party local and county officials, third party state officials, third party house and senate reps, THEN a third party president. Don't be like the DCEU. Don't try to go from zero to Death of Superman in two movies.

My high school neice said it best. No choice is a choice. 3rd party, no vote, you just helped whoever wins win.

Raised Mormon, left officially in 2020. Wildly triggered by your prayer.

[@osmium3691]

I went to mormon church nowhere near Utah and that prayer was said verbatim many times

I'm a nobody, with hardly any subs (currently only 62). But I still thought it was crucial to devote my skills and talents to spreading awareness about the threat to our democracy. So I made a song about it (that that hardly anyone will hear, probably, but I'm proud of any views/listens it gets, knowing that even on a tiny little nobody-scale, I'm making a difference). If I can reach even one person, it was worth it. 💙💙 -- 🎵 "The Authoritarian Playbook" 🎵

I loved the 24 minute prologue!

Love people pleaser, thanks for making it Austin :)

[@josephwhite838]

Well said Austin. I really liked your trolley problem analogy

[@allekatrase3751]

Everyone says common phrases in prayer because that's what they get raised hearing everyone else say. But also, though it might not be doctrine, the structure of the prayer with the opening and then thanking and then asking and then in the name of was taught in Primary when I was a kid. I don't know if it still is, but that was taught as the proper structure.

Not somebody talking about your shirt like they showing up for wardrobe changes. Who is even paying that kind of attention? We’re strangers on the internet. Not mother and child

[@joearnold6881]

Fuh? Mormons in Utah say “fuh” instead of “fuck”? That’s funny and weird. Like, you’re still saying the word. Leaving off the consonant sound at the end wouldn’t make it any more “respectable” or whatever. I mean, I get it. I was raised Catholic (I’m free from faith now, tho) so we had all kinds of nonsense. I’m not saying our nonsense was any better I just think it’s a funny, idiosyncratic line to draw. Like, just say a different word. You’re taking the effort to stop yourself completing the swear, so you aren’t saying it without thought, as opposed to when you hurt yourself or something and start to say it around someone you shouldn’t and you do that thing where you catch yourself, the long “fffffff-“ sound lol.

[@UgUg15]

I don’t even think saying a different word is better if you’re still gonna swear. The whole issue is that it’s considered “bad” to swear. So if you say, “mother trucker,” “gosh darn it,” or even “fiddlestix,” it’s not like we don’t all know what you were going for. You’ve gone through all this trouble not to say the word only to convey its meaning anyway. Just swear at that point. Or give it up altogether. When you stub your toe, scream or say “ow.” Or just say, “FUCK!”

I only refer to her as Harris. She's a presential candidate. We've always referred to our presidential candidates by using their surnames--except for when it's a woman, for some reason (me thinks it's by design--the patriarchy wants to disassociate women candidates from their deserved prestige). I always call her Harris, and always will. I will be voting for candidate Harris.

[@yourpal_austin]

Bernie, Beto, Pete, Joe, Dubya, Ike, Abe, etc.

[@itsmekatiep]

I mean I usually call them by their full names, George W Bush, Al Gore, Bernie Sanders….
