Human beings are dying everyday in horribly unjust ways, not just Palestinians, and Palestinians are going to be worse off under Trump. If you disagree with the latter point you are delusional and we don't need to talk anymore.

I wanted to minimize death and suffering. Harris objectively would have caused less than Trump. That's it.

You fundamentally misunderstand why I used to care and now don't. I don't believe in virtue ethics, I don't even believe in free will.

Before it mattered if they won because it'd (maybe) prevent doom. Now I don't see a way out. Its consequences that matter and we're now signed up for the worst consequences regardless.

It sometimes depends on the programmer's situation. Maybe its "lose a ton of credibility or live on the street/lose your H-1B Visa"

Oh, so you're saying real estate investors are going to get a big pay off. That's fun. Its been too long since they got a break. /s

Sometimes its either ship something broken or lose your job.

Wikipedia says he was an atheist not a christian.

I say this as an autist who used to fucking loathe talking on the phone: Its that the phone takes up too much mental energy and time, yet has a time limit on your own responses. Its hellishly stressful when you are socially incompetent, and now a lot of even non-autistic people are becoming socially incompetent.

Now its funny, I hated phone calls back when everyone liked them. Now I'm pretty OK at them because I worked at a call center for a year and now it seems like everyone now hates phone calls. I kinda recognize that the one nice thing about phone calls is there is no "set up your account before ordering your food" type bullshit. There is a consistency to phone calls.

I am a leftist. I hate the DNC. I hate apolitical dimwits. And I hate virtue voters and protest voters. I canvassed for democrats in a delusional bid to maintain my sanity this election and I will never do that again. I don't care if the democrats ever "win again" now. It doesn't matter you imbecile, we're doomed.

I don't fathom how you don't understand this. Its fucking over. Are you not paying attention?

I want a hug.

Emotionally I'm not inclined to place another iota of effort into politics. I feel like I've wasted 20 years of my life obsessing over it.

And with that I have zero desire to forgive anyone even slightly responsible for Trump's victory. I don't owe anyone shit, I did not choose to be born.

You can be repulsed at the voters & the top democrats at the same time. There is no rule saying you can't hate them both.

That's not an honest evaluation of reality. Its both leftwing activists and apolitical schmucks. And FUCK THEM BOTH.
