Depending on how much of the quote you ACTUALLY quote anyway. Why did you intentionally leave out the part where he specifically mentioned cancel culture and woke culture? lolIts funny because they also mentioned quotes being accurate, and then deliberately took his words out of context by not including the first part of the quote complaining about the woke boogeyman. --- her/she ...

He's saying be true to yourself and don't let people try to keep you down. As soon as you assign that to only certain groups its purely positive or incredibly negative, and that's the danger of trying to stay a centrist. --- http://bnuiransder.tumblr.com/ So much A R T ... Copied to Clipboard!

Never understood why people even care about what celebrities think about real issues. Being a celebrity doesn't mean that's the entirety of what they know. Most actors, in particular, have degrees and formal education. Not saying that applies to Dwayne in particular cause I don't know his education history, however somebody with a BS in biology doesn't lose that credibility just because they become an actor/celebrity, is my point. CRON posted... We would have been a better-off timeline if most Americans had no concept of politics and were just pacified by traditional television. The ripple effect of smartphones becoming affordable is real. Uh, what? That's the worst timeline because it has the least amount of voter participation. No, the best timeline is the opposite, where we eradicate voter apathy and can make a nationwide stand against fascism, instead of relying on millions of voters in select swing states to stave it off. Or rather, if that was our normal timeline, we wouldn't even be at risk of falling to these fascist fucks. specialkid8 posted... He barely mentions "woke culture". Fuck out of here with the clickbait title. He's just not sharing his opinions publicly because he doesn't wanna put anyone off of his brand. He doesn't want to lose any popularity. Oh hey, it's the guy who said liberals never define woke as some sort of limp-dick counter to right-wingers constantly shitting bricks over seeing woke under every stone and behind every corner. And then when many liberals/left-wingers did start defining it, they never returned to the thread. Yeah, your opinions and posts are worth less than dog shit.

the big assumption there being that the majority of apathetic voters are dems The masses side with Democratic ideals. This has been repeatedly demonstrated as when more people vote it benefits Dems and Republicans suppress voter participation because of this as well. They know more people voting means they're likely to lose and because of the arrogance Trump has brought the party they've even been openly saying it for years now. Some of the most recent examples are the increase in voter participation due to the loss of Roe v Wade has helped Dems win special/state elections when they traditionally would have lost. --- My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use) ...
