The All-Inclusive Kamala Harris thread

[Bi_3]

Folks, Trag is correct. He's actually been on fire recently and I am here for it.

The best response is always "that's a funny thing to say in public".

[E.H. Ruddock]

Republicans better family members than Dems confirmed

Yeah B how are you gonna have a balanced worldview if you close yourself off from thoughtful opposing views like "Kamala Harris suck dick"

But it’s not about maintaining a balanced worldview. If his views are strong enough, he should have the emotional bandwidth to maintain them while still maintaining connections with those with opposing views.

Opposing political views sure. But if we take politics out of it and my cousin makes a comment that a person sucks dick just because she’s a woman, I’m probably not hanging out with him.

But B’s anecdote is clearly oriented towards politics, and more generally designed to get a laugh from this political allies

I just took it as if you are a person that thinks that is funny and sharing it with others that think it’s funny, then I’m not wasting time giving it attention

I think it’s fine to block, say, a coworker or one of your kids’ classmates parents. But family? Shit is stupid. They’ll be at weddings and funerals, you’ll be rallying around eldercare together some day. Just a total lacking in perspective IMO.

I guess I’m stupid? I have an uncle that the only communication he does any more is group emails to multiple family members making very sexist and very racist “political” “jokes”. I’m not smart enough to have good perspective i guess because i blocked his emails. Just no need to deal with that.

I would never call you stupid, but you could just as easily delete his emails; that way you’ll still get them when it’s when aunt Millie dies or whatever.

Seriously, this newfound instinct to block out anything or anyone that doesn’t align with one’s worldview is so messed up. And I get the need for self-preservation; it’s a tough balance to strike. I can’t imagine any scenario where I’d block family members, not unless they committed fraud or a crime against our family maybe.

if you are getting an email letting you know your aunt passed away then my guess is you arent very close relatives

blocking people is useful. this way you dont get sucked into a stupid argument that no one is going to change their mind. whether it is about politics or anything else.

i have family members i have blocked or flat out just do not add because i have no use for their bullshit. if your posts are of adult humor or being racist you have to expect people regardless of relationship to block you

Well she won’t be bringing that up

There's a lot of assumptions here. We don't know B's relationship with his cousin, and you seem to be assuming that B is fully severing all contact forever instead of just manicuring his social media experience, which he is entitled to do. "Kamala Harris suck dick" is not challenging B's political views, it's making a gross sexist joke. It's totally fine and correct to opt out of that shit.

Everything else aside - you really think she’s never sucked a dick?

[Jorge]

Yes Bammer that's exactly what I'm saying! I am sure she hasn't and I wish people would stop saying she has! She would never do that

[VinylGuy]

RM ´s is aiming at a very high and sophisticated level of discussion this elections

[BurtReynolds]

She should pick AOC as running mate. Stop fighting over nonexistent undecided centrists. This election is all about motivating the base!

[tragabigzanda]

FUCK ICE

[BurtReynolds]

Oh, so no one is going to comment on the blatant ageism of that joke!? As a rapidly aging old man, I also find it offensive.

[B]

B draw the family tree so I can more effectively judge you

She's the adopted daughter of my mother's half brother. Is that enough info?

[BurtReynolds]

I unfollowed almost all my relatives on Facebook, though we're still "friends". We have to keep up appearances and all.

If I didn't, their trumpposting would probably turn me into a disgusting lib,too.

I have to maintain the balance.

[B]

I also resisted unfollowing her through 4 years of "stupid Biden" memes because my mom always had a soft spot in her heart for her.

[tragabigzanda]

FUCK ICE

[wease]

Team Ruddo/Peeps. Keep the noise out.

[BurtReynolds]

Let's stick to the real issues here.
